At the (SQL) database level, if you are using null in any sane way, it means "this value exists but is unknown".

Null at the SQL means that the value isn't there, idk where you're getting that from. SQL doesn't have anything like JS's undefined, there's no other way to represent a missing value in sql other than null (you could technically decide on certain values for certain types, like an empty string, but that's not something SQL defines).

They're probably being downvoted for making a huge leap just from wearing pointy highheels lol. They turned a trivial reason into a non-trivial characterization/flaw about a person.

I'm on ddg and get no such issues with the same query:

I mean if you had bothered to open the article, it's in the 2nd paragraph:

The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year

Guilty Crown, as an anime it's nothing special, the openings by supercell and egoist are amazing. Not to mention the OST, which was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, was absolutely amazing.

Linking to the great firewall article is completely nonsensical in this context, and you would be aware of that if you had bothered to open the link in my previous comment.

just so we on the same page, I'm talking about data is gathered, not whether it's protected ( legally ) , idc

Which is exactly what I'm talking about, which you would again know if you read what I linked.

I'm not a lawyer but I think somewhere in the DSL it mentions data is collected from companies within China and outside

It doesn't, what I linked to discusses the very laws you are talking about at length if you are actually interested rather than just spouting nonsense like "it's in the constitution".

Just so we're on the same page you have no idea about Chinese laws on gathering, processing and handling of data, but you heard it somewhere, repeat it, won't bother to research further and then claim there's no propaganda.

but why is it hard for you to swallow, knowing that US based companies ( with all the power they have, lawyers.. Etc ) comply with data collection laws

Because they don't. Evidenced by all the fines the EU is handing out to google, meta, etc. You could also look to all the stuff Snowden blew the whostle on. Do you think they just stopped doing mass surveillance on a global level?

especially when you know that that country is heavily invested in cyberwarfare, espionage and censorship.

Which country isn't? The US does more spying on its own citizens than China could ever dream of doing. The UK is currently trying to pass a bill to break e2ee.

Even their constitution states that every Chinese product ( software or hardware ), must send data it collects to the government.

This is false as far as I know, can you provide a source? China has some of the strictest laws on data protection, you can read more about it here: https://academic.oup.com/idpl/article/12/2/75/6537091?login=false

This is like Apple saying your Android spies on you... lol ( I believe they did say that )

Not sure where you were going with this. My point is you don't hear any of these concerns raised about any other and as we both agree it's not something unique to China.

The real reason why you hear a lot of talk about moving production out of China lately is simply because Chinese manufacurers have narrowed the the gap a lot in terms of chip designs and are becoming an actual threat to western comanies' profit margins.

Now, is all these news nothing but propaganda?

Literally yes, not because chinese companies don't spy on you, literally all companies spy on you. You prove it by linking a video about samsung. Google and Apple do the same shit. The fact that software is riddled with spyware has nothing to do with the hardware being manufactured in China. China isn't some big bad, moving production elsewhere will change nothing. Lastly you should be far more concerned about western companies spying on you, the ones that cooperate with your local government and leave backdoors in their OS for NSA and the like. What do you think the CCP is gonna do to you? You're outside of their jurisdiction completely.

So yes it js just propaganda, in a sense that it's trying to make you think this kind of behavior is somehow unique to Chinese companies or a result of tech being manufactured in China.

Using something like DOS is neither preferred nor more safe. Last time MS DOS received a security patch was 23 years ago. It's open to pretty much any security vulnerability you can think of. In case you depend on a DOS app it's preferable to run it on a modern OS that is DOS compatible, windows 10 32bit for example (I believe Win11 still has support). Or even better sandboxed in an emulator like DOSBox on a more secure OS.

You should work on your reading comprehension, the other commenter is corret. Mask isn't the root of mascot, mascot is borrowed from french.

Your own source refutes your comments:

Try to find any source that claims otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Why would you so confidently try to call somone out without even bothering to look it up?

The root of the word mascot isn't mask, mascot is borrowed from french mascotte.

And you linking to a Wiktionary article of a different word doesn't prove any point you're trying to make.

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/mascot https://www.etymonline.com/word/mascot

Feel free to reapond with any source claiming differently

Qbittorrent-nox is available as a package on all major distors afaik. It has an official docker image aswell. Couldn't be any simpler to set up.
