Solus Linux Creator Ikey Doherty Enters the Game Dev Business With a New Open Source Game Engine http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/134591

Keep in mind #SunYang had been suspended for #doping in 2014. At the age of 28, he's a repeat offender and has been suspended for 8 years now - so he's eligible to return in 2028. Dopers are rotten , repeat offenders are somewhere between shameless and moronic. #swimming #China

On this particular day, my thoughts go out to all those who perished or suffered at the hands of the #KMT's authoritarian rule in #Taiwan and the crackdown after the #228incident known as #whiteterror. This is a crucial day for #civicrights and #humanrights in #FarEast, really. #neveragain

Despite the attempts of the #KMT to put a lid on the topic, the crackdown that followed the #228incident has left deep divisions within #Taiwan's society, notably between people who lived on Taiwan under Japanese rule and new arrivals due to the Chinese civil war. If you're not familiar with this, go browse for #waishengren. And for #WhiteTerror, while you're at it. Or better yet: Read George Kerr's #FormosaBetrayed or Peng Ming-min's «A Taste of Freedom». #228memorial

Security scandal around #WhatsApp shows the need for decentralised #FreeSoftware messengers, #OpenStandards in communication, and digital sovereignty

As #Wuhan-style restrictions have been extended to the capital of #Beijing, the #CCP's celebration of its own wisdom and power known as the #TwoSessions had to be postponed - a political blow to and a loss of face for #XiJinping.

Also, food prices in Beijing have gone up by 40%, with beef even doubling in price. Pork meat has been scarce and expensive anyway due to the #AfricanSwineFever killing substantial parts of #China's livestock. But hey, I'm sure all is fine. #Coronavirus #Covid19

今天是武漢官狀病毒入侵台灣，
殺死約二萬台灣菁英知識分子的第73年。

今天不單是放假，也是紀念人權和自由的日子。

沒有人權和自由，你連安坐家中發廢文的權利都會被槍斃。沒有人權和自由，憲兵隨時上門把你抓走。

珍惜今天的台灣，擁有人權和自由的台灣。

"The rise of all-seeing smart camera networks is an alarming development that threatens civil rights and liberties throughout the world."

Mass surveillance by cameras is not the solution for more security. It takes away your freedom.

Update on the spread of the #Wuhan-type #Coronavirus in #China and beyond:
The number of new cases in China reported on a daily basis has grown again today - so there is no pattern of a slow-down yet.
The number of cases in #SouthKorea, #Japan and #Italy is worrying.
#Covid19 is also spreading in the Gulf region, namely in #Kuwait and #Bahrain.
But the stable genius claims higher temperatures will kill the critter come April, so we're safe and all is fine.
