They operated for less than a month, could have gone unnoticed?

And no I don't think it's weird phrasing. It's absolutely common practice to get permits to film in public places and historic sites: https://www.thefilmfund.co/how-to-get-film-permits-and-location-releases/

If you're filming on private property your supposed to get they owners permission too.

If a Australian film did some guerilla filming I'm sure that would be mentioned in it's wiki because it can serve to promote the movie.

Edit: try googling "movies made without permission" https://www.dailyhindnews.com/top-10-movie-scenes-shot-without-permission-its-all-illegal/

The movie was filmed without permission, what makes you think it couldn't have been shown without permission?

Good Chinese folk can find ways around unjust restrictions just like any other country in the world. The first "festival"was held in a library in the University, probably not the type of festival you are imagining.

From the Beijing film festival wiki

The Festival originated from Peking University, and is considered to be "the only community-based non-governmental film festival in China with a special focus on gender and sexuality"

The wiki explains that most of the crew from this movie is from mainland China, however it was made by a Hong Kong director and was filmed without permission from the government.

It explicitly states

at the time, no mainland Chinese publisher would have published it, nor would the author be safe from government reprisals. Hence, its anonymous publication on the Internet.

The film did had a brief showing run in December 2001, at Peking University, where interest by Chinese citizens was quite high, selling out the showings.

Oh well if things are bad everywhere I guess we should never bring up anything bad ever or criticize bad behavior or try to be better. Got it 👍

From what I could tell from the article, it did not seem odd at all

Animal 15 began to lose coordination and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”

Along with claiming that no monkeys have died because of a Neuralink implant, Musk has said the startup “chose terminal mon[k]eys (close to death already)” as test subjects to “minimize risk to healthy monkeys.” However, Wired cites an anonymous former employee saying that is not true: Shown a copy of Musk’s remarks on X about Neuralink’s animal subjects being “close to death already,” a former Neuralink employee alleges to WIRED the claim is “ridiculous” if not a “straight fabrication.” “We had these monkeys for a year or so before any surgery was performed,” they say. The ex-employee, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, says up to a year’s worth of behavioral training was necessary for the program, a time frame that would exempt subjects already close to death’s door.

This didn't seem odd to you?

FO4 was unplayable for me due to constant crashes to desktop. On a new rig at the time too

I used the share function on ReVanced, must be functionality from the app.

Bruh, if you're earning $15-$20 every 20 minutes, you're earning almost $94-$125k/year assuming 8 hours, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. That's a lot more than most and has nothing to do with being young or in a low income country.

Not exactly fair to frame it like that. Fwiw I'm a long time sync for Reddit user who had the pro version.

Both technically I suppose. When the server fix was applied the app signed out of the account automatically. I tried several times to re-add the account to no avail. After that I tried clearing the cache and data from Android settings and then add the account again. No luck so figured I'd try other apps for now.
