"China creates 6 mirror DNS name servers as backup"
Poisoned, like the rest of the DNS servers here, I assume?

@shanehawkk Is expected interpretive dance or something...
So I downloaded this Manyverse Scuttlebutt client. Off the grid social networking sounds right up No Agenda's alley. Is anyone here actually using it?
It's funny because it's probably true 😢
I'm reading "Zionism in the age of the dictators", after seeing an interview with the author Lennie Brenner. A fascinating read, and equally deeply disturbing. A must read!
@Klaatu BS. In the past, you were required to set up a joint venture with a Chinese partner (this is less and less required nowadays), which means you'd had to share specific patents necessary to run your factory with that one partner.
Saying "anyone can ignore *any* patent with impunity" is a whole different story. Especially with Huawei holding more core 5G patents than all US companies combined, and has just started a billion dollar lawsuit against Verizon.

If they haven't yet, I see great potential in anti-spy weapons that "blind" spy planes. Start with an array of thousands of high-powered flashing lasers, then look in to directed energy beams, a kind of focused EMP.

"If the amendment is finally approved by the US Congress, Huawei’s patents already applied for in the US will be invalidated."
They do realize that such measures can go both ways, right? They're saying here that having a patent doesn't *really* mean anything.
Plus: any US company not honoring Huawei's patents will end up in the Chinese entity-list, for doing business in bad faith and political reasons.

"HK parents march against U.S. meddling"
"Parents in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region took to the streets on Sunday to urge U.S. politicians to not interfere with the SAR's extradition amendments and its internal affairs."
I bet this isn't reported by US mainstream media...

Amygdala issues are the worst ☹️
I'm watching "Khrustalyov, My Car!", a 20 year old Russian movie. My review so far: WTF?!
"San Francisco opens pop-up Rat Bar"
So people can get used to the idea of rat infestations, I assume?

HUAWEI CLAIMS OVER $1 BILLION TO VERIZON OVER PATENTS DISPUTE
A Verizon spokesperson told the New York Times that the company had no comment on the matter, but added that “these issues are larger than just Verizon.”

Apparently they forgot that Huawei holds more 5G related patents than all US companies combined...
@SirHendrick Glad to see that all the media hype still has relatively small effects

#NannyState I actually do drink sarsaparilla, when I can find it...

@MartinJJ @adam Toen ik nog in Nederland woonde (10 jaar terug), hing ik ieder jaar de Sovjet-vlag uit op Bevrijdingsdag. De meeste geschiedschrijvers zijn het erover eens dat we de vrijheid meer te danken hebben aan de enorme verliezen aan het oostfront dan aan het westfront.
Absoluut schandalig. Ik schaam me Nederlander te zijn!
