- Comment on UK: Chinese asylum seeker allowed to stay in Britain because he “cannot be expected to lie” about his support for Taiwanese independence 2 days ago:
As usual with Taiwan, it's... complicated.
Residents of mainland China, which is now under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China (PRC), were identified as nationals given the pre-1949 history of the Republic of China. In May 2023, Executive Yuan released a policy memorandum to clarify that: "The people of mainland China do not have ROC nationality, and hence are not ROC nationals." (中國大陸人民不具中華民國國籍、非屬中華民國國民)[12] Legal scholars, on the other hand, argue that the matter is not resolved as executive branch explanations are not legally binding to courts. Hence, unless amended by the Legislative Yuan, both the Nationality Act and the Cross-Strait Act still include citizens of Mainland China (i.e., the PRC) as ROC nationals.

Both Mr. Vance and Mr. Miller pointed to the post as evidence of what they say is an anti-Trump bias in the mainstream media.
Reality has a well-known anti-Trump bias.

Just line the parade route and turn your backs on him and his brownshirts as they pass by.
- Comment on Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me? 2 weeks ago:
Me neither.
- Browser: Zen (fork of Firefox)
- Extension: LibRedirect (pre-installed in Zen IIRC)
- App: FreeTube
I click on a YouTube link and it opens in FreeTube, no ads.
Every now and then, videos won't play because of some change by Google, usually it's just a day or so until FreeTube releases an update that works again.
- Comment on Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system? 2 weeks ago:
My school (UK, 1980s) offered Mandarin as an extracurricular course. I signed up, showed up... and was the only student. One-on-one classes the rest of the year :)
(Just don't try grilling me in Mandarin now, though.)
