about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country
Very interesting read.
Finally, wanting to protect privacy was often seen by participants as a desire to hide shameful secrets in order to save face. Here too, surveillance is viewed positively, as a tool to unmask shady behaviours and promote morality.
Damn.
In short, the way the Chinese citizens I spoke to experience digital surveillance is characterized by strong psychic tensions: the same persons who support surveillance as being indispensable in the Chinese context are also and nevertheless expressing the heavy burden that coping with such exposure places on them.
The/In short from Wikipedia:
The Ig Nobel Prize is a satiric prize awarded annually since 1991
- Anatomy: Roman Khonsari, for finding that there is a greater instance of scalp hair spiraling in a counter-clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Biology: Fordyce Ely and William Petersen, for finding that placing a cat on the back of cows and repeatedly exploding paper bags every 10 seconds for two minutes led to them producing less milk.
- Chemistry: Tess Heeremans, Antoine Deblais, Daniel Bonn and Sander Woutersen, for their use of chromatography to separate drunk and sober worms as part of their research into polymer science.
- Botany: Jacob White and Felipe Yamashita, for finding that the plant Boquila trifoliolata can mimic the leaves of plastic plants placed alongside it, leading them to conclude that “plant vision” is plausible.
- Demography: Saul Newman, for finding that many claims regarding the existence of supercentenarians and other extreme age-related records originate from areas with short life spans, no birth certificates, and rampant clerical errors and pension fraud.
- Medicine: Lieven Schenk, Tahmine Fadai and Christian Büchel, for finding that counterfeit medicine that induces painful side-effects can be more effective in patients than counterfeit medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
- Peace: B. F. Skinner, for his study on housing live pigeons inside missiles to guide them to their targets.
- Physics: James Liao, for his long-running study on the ability of a dead trout to swim.
- Physiology: Takanori Takebe, for finding that several mammals can breathe through their intestines using their anus.
- Probability: A team of 50 researchers mostly based in the Netherlands, for supporting a prediction by Persi Diaconis that tossed coins are more likely to land the same way up as they started after they had flipped 350,757 coins.

I felt strong aversion and irritation throughout, thinking they were unnecessarily making enemies.
They certainly have an extreme view and goal. And are personally invested to the point of seeing fellow collaborators on FOSS as enemies(?) now.
Putting up barriers through segmentation and alternative tech creates silos. To reach new people I don’t think we can get around meeting users where they are and what they are familiar with.
Bring value through FOSS, and hint and nudge them. If you meet them where they are and bring them to your software it’s already one more than none. You don’t need to get them to make a huge leap into a whole ecosystem of alternative software at once.
Their categorical dismissal of other’s opinions or priorities certainly felt irritating to me. Maybe they care more about FOSS license than UX or features, but why is that the only correct view in their eyes? Blind users may not even be able to use FOSS alternatives when they lack accessibility features or quality.
Even as a contributor to a project I don’t want to use a supportive side platform only for that when it’s annoying or cumbersome. I very well may just skip it, or leave as a contributor.
I would have been interested in the premise; why they think advocating and exclusively FOSS is the only correct view and thing to do. The lack of a strong basis also made all that followed more irritating.
I’ve skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.
it revealed a number of organs including blood vessels in the brain through the scalp
I’m confused. There’s a skull between scalp skin and the brain, right? o.O
Yes, I do. What info are you looking for? You didn’t even say.
I know the Mumble and SoftEther VPN projects use them for hosting their website/project hosting.
Microsoft maintains a modern fork of Mono runtime in the dotnet/runtime repo and has been progressively moving workloads to that fork. That work is now complete, and we recommend that active Mono users and maintainers of Mono-based app frameworks migrate to .NET which includes work from this fork.
What’s left for the mono project then? What’s Wine’s interest in it?
I don’t see how alternatives to choose from solve your issue though. I’d rather have one or few trustworthy ones.
There are/were alternatives. I looked at two others.
Results are transparent.
it’s not hard to find them when they’re selling fake reviews as a service
The article teaser beginning should make that clear as well

we could see other PSU makers follow suit in switching to Cybenetics
It would certainly be great if all did. But I doubt that will be the case.
Only the best have an interest in switching.
But maybe that’s good enough for now. The PSU market has a good number of alternative manufacturers, and those that care will drive demand for this information. Maybe those targeting the enthusiast market won’t be able to get around providing it.
Its still the same extension, same source code, same logic, just less capable
the same… but not the same… ??
I think the technologies are quite different.
uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing – uBOL’s service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
Are you claiming non-lite does the same, plus more?
You say it’s the same source code, but it’s a different source code repository. non-lite, lite.
It also comes first in the alphabet.
They wrote in the article that it rose. That was part of what they wrote about.
I don’t see your point.
I think you make a good point. But the tech doesn’t have to formalize or understand the complexities of human relations or state. The platform and environment are something you can shape even without an established or physical community. The way information is presented and interactions happen does influence how people use and communicate. Not reaching the same degree doesn’t mean it’s a complete failure.
