Is the original article not a major journalistic misstep then? Nowhere does it clarify that this only applies to online gaming.


I found some government documents to support my view that all games available on the Internet are "online games" in the eyes of the Chinese government

http://www.gov.cn/flfg/2010-06/22/content_1633935.htm

translated form deepl: "The online game referred to in this method refers to the software program and information data composition, through the Internet, mobile communication networks and other information networks to provide game products and services.

Online game online operation refers to the business behavior of providing game products and services to the public through information networks using user systems or fee-based systems.

Online game virtual currency refers to the virtual exchange tool issued by online game operation unit and purchased directly or indirectly by online game users using legal tender in a certain proportion, existing outside the game program, stored in the server in the form of electromagnetic records and expressed in specific digital units."


Well no, that doesn't follow such an interpretation.

You only provide a single player offline game once. And you don't provide any service over information networks outside of the download and updates.


Yes, it's a very major mistake.


I wonder if the journey article author didn’t think online game differs much with general games.


Yes, we have one party here. But so does America. Except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!

Yeah, socialist here, and I am absolutely no fan of Obama's...


Comment there says they're only selling the "Basic" which doesn't include GPS or LORA


Search around, AliExpress as well, I think it is just that particular vendor is out.


> Ensafi’s team found that censorship is increasing in 103 of the countries studied, including unexpected places like Norway, Japan, Italy, India, Israel and Poland. These countries, the team notes, are rated some of the world’s freest by Freedom House, a nonprofit that advocates for democracy and human rights.

Freedom House is a non-profit that is almost entirely funded by the US government. The only ones who would find it "unexpected" that US allies rank high on the "freedom index" but practically have problems with freedom of speech would probably buy a bridge in Brooklyn.

Given that some 35% of global emissions this century have come from such unnecessary atrocities as the War on Terror[1] I am confident we have a good starting point for things to cut.

There was a sea change in views on welfare in the 80s-90s[1], culminating with the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. Between means-testing, spending caps and staffing cuts, virtually all welfare programs have been decimated over the last 25 years.

It's a lot more complicated than that. Many of these people are chronically underpaid, the service industry in particular. Yes, of course they like the extra unemployment money, but I bet 95% would prefer to return to work and be paid a fair, livable wage, comparable to what they're receiving on unemployment.


Thanks for bringing up this book. Everyone who lives in California and thinks about nature needs to check out Tending the Wild.


Which one? The book? The short film? Something else?


Presumably the book I linked to in the original post: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520280434/tending-the-wild
