> What window managers is everyone running? I’m thinking i3 or dwm
everyone is running different managers... I use evilwm on linux and cwm on openbsd. They are very similar (keyboard-driven, floating windows with no frames) with different default keybindings.
The best place to go for curated patches is here. You can customize these or roll your own once you have a chance to examine the source code. dwm is very simple.
Yup, but you need to be aware that all information are passed to the security services of the Communistic Party of China and could be used against you. E.g. to blackmail you, if you are, say, soldier, public officer, higher up in some company, etc. Or to steal your data & money.
Despite China having really great PR this is still a country which has exactly zero free speech, controls 100% of media and internet, keeps people in concentration camps.
So this particular move does not surprise me, in fact, I am surprised that European governments does not get how much sensitive information is leaked through AI and they give all of that freely to third parties from China and also from USA...
Google knows more about you or I than we care about. Facebook can target the one gay person in a town of 300 people. And so on, and so on.
Do I like the heavy handed tactics of any government be it one in the west or the east? no.
Can I do anything about it? Can you? haha no.
Do you think user agreements mean anything? Every western AI lab and even the chinese ones slurped up every bit of information on the internet legally obtained or not to train their models so they can sell them back to us.

ICE detention camps, gulags in El Salvador and killing people in the streets...
Brenden Carr going after comedians on TV making big baby trump mad...
China and the US are not so dissimilar. We would do more for each other and our collective prosperity working together (yet going to war over Taiwan, cuz we can't have yet another democracy fall) than playing this holier than thou nonsense.

> This is what gets me. Think about only bugs, not a single wishlist feature, just bugs. Limit to obvious-to-normies defects: so, UI bugs (ultra-low contrast oddity with certain backgrounds while scrolling lock screen notification center) or popular-feature bugs (AirDrop demands “everyone“ to receive from people in contacts, apparently in at least a couple cases).
I’m hopeful Ternus can turn this around. They can be top notch in both being all vertically integrated and demanding the best in both. Let’s see.
Terrorism is the excuse they normally use yes, it's very easy to call anyone they don't like a terrorist and then do anything against them. Look at Autistici/Inventati, it wasn't safe in Italy, and just this week, Dutch police under orders from the US have seized one of their remaining physical servers.
Copyright infringement is the other big excuse. People like Louis Rossmann get their journalism taken down because they showed 3 seconds of something relevant to the story.
