"We are not going to be holding hands with China in respect of any contest that is going on in the world," Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles told Sky News, referring to the Chinese ambassador's proposal for countries to "join hands" on trade.

"We are not doing that. What we are doing is pursuing Australia's national interests and diversifying our trade around the world."

He said Australia would build its economic resilience by strengthening trade ties with the European Union, Indonesia, India, Britain and the Middle East.

I just finished DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark after playing the first one. I was pretty impressed with both games seeing as they were the first "serious" games to come out of Indonesia. I really enjoy learning about Indonesian folklore as well. I'm playing DreadOut 2 now so I'll probably be posting about that.

For anyone who hasn't heard of DreadOut, it's an Indonesian survival horror game that often gets compared to Fatal Frame. You use a phone camera to banish spirits sort of like Fatal Frame.

I have a huge problem with pathological lying. Does anyone know what type of therapy I should get for this? Would hypnosis be better instead?

My relationship with long videogames

@the_gamer_tavern

In the past I couldn't, for the life of me, commit myself to playing long games (i.e. 30+ hours) because I fell out of interest and dropped the game.

Lately I started playing two "long" (always keep in mind that this adjective is used by my perspective) games: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mass Effect 1 (the legendary edition) and weirdly enough, seems like they're sticking with me because I'm alternating one or another throughout the gaming sessions.

I don't know if this pattern will be able to help me with other games as well or if it's just peculiar to those two specific games but I'm crossing my fingers 🤞

Have any of you had a similar experience?

And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.

Staying motivated when life gets tough can be challenging, but it’s not impossible.

How do they have all the special ingredients and equipment that the challenging chef that won the first half needs for their favorite dish, when they don't know who the winner is going to be for the first half until the middle of the contest?

I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

Two spyware variants are targeting Uyghur, Taiwanese and Tibetan groups and individuals, the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre warned in a joint alert (opens pdf) Wednesday with Western allies.

[...]

Cybersecurity researchers have previously linked the BADBAZAAR and MOONSHINE spyware to the Chinese government. The variants mentioned in Wednesday’s alert trojanize apps that are of interest to the target communities, such as a Uyghur language Quran app, and have appeared in official app stores.

“BADBAZAAR and MOONSHINE collect data which would almost certainly be of value to the Chinese state,” the alert reads. Agencies in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United States, namely the FBI and National Security Agency, collaborated on it.

Groups most at risk include those focused on Taiwanese independence, Tibetan rights, Uyghur Muslims, democracy advocacy and Falun Gong, according to the alert. The espionage tools can access and download information like location data or messages and photos, and can access microphones and cameras on a phone.

BADBAZAAR is mobile malware with both iOS and Android variants, while MOONSHINE is Android-only. MOONSHINE has been shared through Telegram channels and links sent via WhatsApp.

[...]

Beyond official app stores, BADBAZAAR also spreads through social media platforms. It’s been drawing its own attention from cybersecurity researchers since at least 2022 when Lookout identified it.

Nach Angaben des ukrainischen Präsidenten kämpfen zahlreiche chinesische Staatsangehörige an der Seite der russischen Truppen in der Ukraine - mit Billigung der Regierung in Peking. "Das 'chinesische' Problem ist ernst. Es gibt 155 Personen mit Namen und Passangaben, die auf ukrainischem Gebiet gegen die Ukrainer kämpfen", sagte Selenskyj und fügte hinzu: "Peking ist sich dessen bewusst." Allerdings sei nicht bekannt, ob Peking "einen Befehl" dafür erteilt habe. "Wir sagen nicht, dass jemand einen Befehl gegeben hat, wir haben keine solchen Informationen", sagte Selenskyj.
