China wants people now because it's part of their strength.
As manpower becomes less relevant, which is ongoing, they will change their minds and be looking for ways to get rid of them.

The Chinese movies I've seen with CG were all really corny. So, no great loss if the AI CG is bad.

You can have em and en dashes here if you use the HTML entities. Unfortunately the list of supported entities is small, so it cannot be used to fix this problem with a browser extension or user script

No, you aren't.
This is how redirection has worked in UNIX and Unixlikes ever since it was invented.
You are imagining that the system used to work the way you wanted when it never did.

You are correct. That is indeed handled by the shell, not the program run from the command line.

The only thing this proves is you can't buy an unpopular policy with a mere $100M.
Submission + - Why can't M$ get any UI/UX changes right? (pcmag.com)
golem100 writes: A couple weeks ago PCMag, and others, wrote articles along the lines of: "Microsoft Finally Backs Down: The Windows 11 Taskbar Update You've Been Waiting For". This is currently implemented with CU KB5120998 and since M$ has elected to defer "activation" of this feature--some two weeks later for most users it still needs to be enabled by the ViVe tool: vivetool /enable /id:59213768,61090762
Um, No...
The fundamental set of [lost] attributes that this "We brought Movable TaskBar back" lacks:
You can not control the position of the TaskBar on each desktop monitor--example: I have four displays on my desktop, three Landscape & one of which is in a Portrait orientation for reading documents.
With Windows7/8/10 you could position the TaskBar so that it was "Out of the way" and each display--on the right side of the right-most Landscape, on the left for the left-most Landscape display, & on the top/bottom for the Portrait. [same as my desktop on my Linux workstation]
Now you still get the same Taskbar alignment on all desktops.
You can not "resize" the taskbar. (well, you can--it has three sizes: too big, too small, and really way too small) For the previous three generations of the OS you could "Drag-Select" and resize the TaskBar to be the correct size for your needs on your desktop. [...just as I can on my KDE Desktop!]
With this implementation, 1/3 of the Taskbar real estate is consumed with "TaskBar-Tray Notification Icons."
Nobody asked for a partial, broken, re-implementation. The ask was: "Put it Back as it was!"
Dealing with M$ is pretty much like getting your 15 year old to do their chores on garbage night.

I use Linux specifically because of the license. Linux succeeded because of the license. If Ubuntu wants to change what made Linux successful then the obvious thing to do is to change to not using Ubuntu.
