The Chinese constitution also explicitly gives everyone the right to vote, freedom of speech, the press, assembly, association, procession and demonstration.
第三十四条 中华人民共和国年满十八周岁的公民，不分民族、种族、性别、职业、家庭出身、宗教信仰、教育程度、财产状况、居住期限，都有选举权和被选举权；但是依照法律被剥夺政治权利的人除外。
第三十五条 中华人民共和国公民有言论、出版、集会、结社、游行、示威的自由。
That says enough about how much that document is worth.
Unless I’m misunderstanding the post, it doesn’t imply that most lectures need to be in Mandarin, only that the kids need to be taught the language, right?
You are misunderstand it (and the BBC article is also very unclear about it). Learning Mandarin was already mandatory, it’s now about making Mandarin the default.
Not that I think your device has the same danger because water captured from the air will likely quickly be released again into the same air, but I think this is not a very good example of the safety of your device:
It’s similar thing to taking water from a river. If we take all the water from a river, can we dry up downstream? Yes!
We can and we do. The Colorado and the Yellow river no longer consistently reach the ocean.
You talk as if DEI has tipped the scales in the other direction because you experienced a few inconveniences, but in reality it’s not enough to balance them. You’re only talking about what you experience, but you have no thought for others. Which I actually can understand, it’s hard to relate to things you don’t experience and probably not even see (I don’t), but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Lol no you’re not getting the short end of the stick. Yes, DEI shouldn’t be a thing in an ideal world, but we don’t live in an ideal world and white privilege is still a thing basically anywhere in the world.
Privilege maybe?
Yes, that’s probably why Turning Point membership is growing.
Maybe not equal, but rather worse than many on the far right (probably not all, I’ll give you that). Murder is bad, full stop. I don’t know why I’m wasting time explaining this…
And now he’s a martyr who’s been killed by the radical left terrorists who celebrate his murder.
I didn’t know him before he was murdered (only knew his face of the memes, didn’t know what he stood for) and I think the world is a better place without him. But if you advocate for and celebrate people being murdered in the streets, then you’re just helping the far right narrative, and frankly it makes you not any better than them.
You do realize that this and the killing of Kirk is great news for the far right movement?
Depends on what you do mean by Europe. Yes Russia is not a direct threat to Spain or Italy. But for the Baltics it’s an immediate threat. They might invade by next year. Yes, that would be utterly stupid, but so was invading Ukraine and they still did it. Poland will be next if they are successful in the Baltics and Ukraine. (Which they will if we don’t support them)
The worst thing we can do is ignore the threat just because it would be stupid for them to do it. When someone threatens you, take them serious. Especially if they have done something similar before.
I think most people nowadays mean Latin Americans with Lationos. Otherwise you’d also have to throw in the Italians, the French, the Romanians, half of the Belgians and bunch of Africans.
99% of flat earthers are just trolling, I refuse to believe anything else
The user land API/ABI is stable to a fault in Linux. The kernel API/ABI is unstable
It’s the other way around. The kernel API stable to a fault, the kernel ABI isn’t. If your application only relies on the kernel API you won’t have many compatibility issues. If you rely on userland stuff such as C++ stdlib, GTK, QT, Python, … Good luck.
Version numbers are meaningless. Yes it’s mostly fixes, but in every release which doesn’t have p in the version number there’s at least two or three things which are not fixes. As late as 2023 one of those changes did introduce a local privilege escalation: https://www.wiz.io/vulnerability-database/cve/cve-2025-32463 which was undetected for two years. For a critical piece of software with the maturity of sudo, I call that pretty concerning.
Here’s an interesting report from Google about rust vs C++ in Android: https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move-fast-fix-things.html?m=1
I would say yes is it developed, this is more than just big fixes : https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/releases
No huge changes of course, but the big CVE from July was only introduced 2 years ago.
My biggest question is, why is something like sudo still developed and not finished and in maintenance mode?
Sudo is being actively developed and has several fairly recent CVEs, some of which are memory issues (at least recent compared to how old sudo is). Apart from being memory safe rust is also better at error handling than C.
IMO best would be to reduce attack surface by using a memory safe language and also reducing complex features like OpenBSD’s doas does.

The thing which makes digital chips so much better than analog chips is something both you and the article are missing: noise. A digital chip is very robust against noise, as long as the noise in one step isn’t too big so it causes a bitflip immediately the stable configuration will pull the voltage level back and no information is lost. Not so with analog logic, since the information is continuous every step which introduces noice (which is basically every step) will cause loss of information. Go a few levels of logic deep and all you’ve got left is noise.

But as far as I understand the key doesn’t really go anywhere, it’s just a fancy way to suggest a donation. (And there’s nothing unethical about using FOSS without paying or contributing back in any way)
And the same is true for the minority rights, they only exists as far as the Party wants to and allows at this moment, which was my point. I.e it’s mostly for PR.
The West isn’t any better at protecting minority rights, I’ll give you that.
