As heartbreaking it is to say this, I have the impression that Hong Kong hasn’t had its own law for roughly five years. Isn’t this really mainland China’s law?

I suppose the people writing the headline have little choice but to go along with Beijing’s way of framing and phrasing things, no matter how misleading it might be.

There are a couple of emulation communities outside of Beehaw:

How would this control people selling their used hardware? I don’t see anything about Sony trying to disable resold consoles.

you’ll get “a product that works like new with genuine PlayStation replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tested”. You will receive all the cables and paperwork you need for a PS5, and it comes with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty

Whataboutism does not invalidate the problem, nor is it a good-faith argument in any discussion.

If it will help us clean up our mess, then great.

I tried to get a booster a couple months ago because last autumn’s shots had waned. I was turned away by pharmacists, even though my insurance would cover it. They claimed they were reserved for people in certain high risk groups (maybe due to a shortage, although I’m not aware of a demand peak in summertime, and I hadn’t seen any shortage mentioned in the news).

I mentioned this on lemmy (in this community, I think) and a couple of jerks appeared, one suggesting that I was anti-vax (how??) and another accusing me of spreading misinformation (what misinformation??) A mod then removed my comment, citing misinformation.

In any case, both experiences were really discouraging. I hope other people who actually want to be vaccinated don’t run in to the same problems.
