Living in Hong Kong today means juggling contradictory feelings. Our latest on the city’s post-Covid era. When ppl focus on business indicators, they see a recovery gathering pace. But when it comes to anything political, the freedoms seem permanently gone apnews.com/article/f4cb0c…

@ZoubinGhahrama1 Good to see Cantonese 廣東話 supported... though would love to see that also supported in the text translations, as the current Simplified/Traditional (and we assume Mandarin) Chinese method leaves a lot to be desired...

China‘s new propaganda video for the balloon war ended with taking down an US F22. Well its actually pretty funny and well made 😄

@tomstaniford @shedfire Narrator: GPT-4 has entered the room

@shedfire AI will struggle to be as succinct as: "Price is clear. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Have a lovely day".

I am training at ChatGPT bot to reply to customer comments on Facebook but it, well… hmm.

To any Brits thinking the UK is morally superior, until 2014 an unmarried British dad could not pass on his citizenship. You could in fact be born stateless in the UK for being born out of wedlock.

Thx @elonmusk #WokeIsBroke

@CivGame How much moolah for #NintendoSwitch expansion pack?

We're 3 WEEKS from the #PS4 and #XboxOne launch of Civilization VI and the Expansion Bundle including both Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm. Don't worry, #NintendoSwitch owners - the Expansion Bundle will be available for you the same day, Nov 22! Which system are you playing on?

@2cats4 However I'm not living in Hong Kong right now... my question to a bunch of cops now would be "when the PLA are killing Hongkongers with their automatic guns, will you be shooting with them, or shooting back at them?"... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@2cats4 My dad's ex-RHKP though passed away earlier in the year before this all kicked however, though he's a "I swore allegiance to The Crown, not fucking Deng Xiaoping" type and I know ex-coppers that support current protesters. Currently serving 白警 do exist I'm sure...

So I had words with an officer last night. I shouldn't have. But I was angry. On the way from CWB to LKF we came to traffic lights at the same time as three police men. I stared at one, trying to bore into his soul. He greeted me with a cock of the brow, as if to say wassup

@LeungKaiChiHK I'd like to see one for "End #CCP one-party rule"... since that's been a pro-Dem thing since forever really...

The ongoing #HKprotests are characterised by mainland China media as pro-independence. Actually, overwhelming majority of HK ppl are against HK Independence. The protest demands are not related to independence.

I like to believe there are decent officers. I try to understand the pressure they're under, the mob /tribe mentality that drives their behavior. Yet I still can't fathom what goes on in someone's mind that allows them to beat their fellow Hongkongers. And I never will.

The traffic light turned green then and everyone walked away. A young guy came up and thanked me. Of course I didn't achieve anything, other than making myself look slightly mad. But seeing police trying to bait peaceful crowds in CWB earlier had me fuming

'Of course I know, I live here' I said. He walked away, waving me off: 'You don't know anything, you are a baby' (which makes little sense given I'm middle aged). Adrenaline pumping, I shouted after him 'Is this what you imagined doing with your life?'
