Digitizing materials will take a lot of work, time, and money. The Canada-Hong Kong Library is looking for assistance in digitizing a large number of Hong Kong works so that it can be viewed by a global audience.

I basically stuck with iPhone X for a whole six years and now I am with iPhone 15 Pro Max. It looks fairly similar but it feels like a huge difference in speed, battery life, brightness, display frame rate, and etc. It's mostly speed and battery life for me though.

Trying to use Daisy Ridley’s performance as an indicator of how the character is written is brave but foolish, my old Jedi friend.
Daisy Ridley is great and deserves all the kindness and appreciation for her performance - 100% no debate.

This is only true if you consider that zero parts of their territory at that time were colonized as well.
China had parts of the country carved up and colonized by European powers.

To be fair, the folks being concerned over her carbon footprint in those screenshots are just being impartial and fair in their concern for the environment. It could be any cause, not just the environment, but at least they are consistent with their criticism and principles.

It's too late, Mr. Doug Ford. I don't think anyone was surprised by your move since it was called out by folks early on and then it actually happened. Your mistake is yours to keep.
3 days ago, I was sarcastically joking that Messi would be accused of violating the national security law. Now? Regina Ip and the China state media are making these allegations that it was political and related to “black hand” foreign interference, similar to the democracy
This was and forever will be an unforgettable and historical moment for Hongkong and other countries alike.
Over a quarter of the population was mobilized for a cause dear to Hongkongers, but all were unfortunately ignored and further oppressed by the Beijing-backed regime.
All power to the Georgians but Hong Kong's 2 million (+1) march on June 16th, 2019 meant that some 2 out of 7 (~28%) of Hongkongers were out on the street that day.
Absolutely atrocious that they can spout such lies and call it “history.” This is exactly why we characterize Chinese national or patriotic education as unnecessary, brainwashing and whitewashing history. Hong Kong was a British colony and people were absolutely discriminated and
Hong Kong was founded by the British and entirely built and developed under the British. Hong Kong is an archetypal colony. If we believe Chinese historical propaganda that Hong Kong was not a colony, we must conclude that Britain never had any colonies.

They should really just leave it be and set the default to dark mode. Light mode serves a purpose and customization isn't bad. The current options are fine. They just need to switch the default to dark and that's it.

You will often hear Chinese nationalists or pro-China people argue that Chinese citizens have rights and freedoms under the constitution.
It’s true - under the Chinese Communist Party is the Chinese constitution and within that is the “rights and freedoms” that every Chinese

Using the term “evil” is way too black-and-white and cult-, spiritual-, or religious-like. You can try “authoritarian” or “totalitarian” - both are against our core values as Canadians and citizens of a free and democratic society and more accurately describes the Soviet Union.

You describe WeChat accurately but I doubt that Elon Musk is planning to allow any governments to utilize it as a surveillance tool. In China, the Chinese government has backdoors everywhere and controls the very essence of WeChat. This will not be the case for X.

I charge it too frequently and only to the 80% limit to know… but I’m willing to bet that battery gets worse due to each iOS version’s need for more processing power… it’s just a matter of whether iOS 17.3 required that much more to noticeably strain the battery.
Remember, if you are visiting (don’t visit) Hong Kong, do not possess any materials considered seditious to the Hong Kong & China govts…

For me, the prequels are so far the best trilogy out there. It isn’t black and white and it paves way during a time period where everything is grey. There is so much more thought into it than simply good vs evil. It did lots of world building as well. Rogue One saw a bit of that.
