2033, yes.

2034 felt disjointed to a point I wasn't even sure it was written by the same person. Gave up reading eventually, about 1/3 in.

Nah. They don't know Google translate. Or Google, for that matter. They know what they are supposed to know.

Of course some people know better, and those are the ones who will eventually get around the block - finding and installing a VPN is not rocket science, not even here. But if you keep 98% of the population contained, the rest won't reach critical mass.

The quick block is there, under "filter".

It’s also faster than chrome now I think.

Resource management is much better. Chrome will max out the RAM, which slows down the browser. Firefox handles that 100x better.

I'm not using Voyager (found your post by browsing /all/new) but this happened to me on the lemmy.world web frontend a couple times over the last hour, so it might have been some malfunction on their end.

It doesn't work in China, if that's any indication.

You might want to sign up with astrill. Greetings from China, we've been dealing with this shit for decades.

I've had some mango-infused beans that were quite interesting, from a small roaster in Hungary. I don't like acidity at all, so getting any fruity notes in a coffee that's not tainted by acid is a rare find for me, so I liked it quite a bit. On the other hand I don't really see the difference of adding (microdosing, really) flavorings to the coffee after brewing if I just want a hint of something else.

Been experimenting around a bit, and what really does it for me is to use a cinnamon stick to stir a freshly brewed espresso for a a few seconds. Can be reused for weeks. Adds a very subtle, mellow flavor that I quite enjoy.

If it's anything like Kopi Bubuk from Indonesia (fine as literal flour), then it's meant to be brewed in the cup. Simply put a heaped tablespoon into a mug, fill with boiling water, stir it for a second, let rest for a bit, stir it again, let rest until all grounds sink to the bottom, and then drink it carefully. You'll still drink some grounds, but they are so fine it hardly matters.

Indonesians drink this type of coffee with a bucket of sugar and often condensed milk, but that's optional. I enjoy it pure, and keep buying it whenever I'm in Indo, as it's hard to find elsewhere in the world.

Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that's often the only alternative.

I'm using bing.com/create (free access with an office 365 account) and then use prompts such as "create a simple black & white icon with broad lines for a mobile app depicting financial management".

Modify the prompt a few times or run it a couple times in a row until I find something I like, maybe modify it a little in Photoshop, and done.

Didn't you post it this morning already? I swear I've seen the exact same content earlier.

Sure. Foreigners aren't really sanctioned though, that's more of a risk for the locals. But even then usually only if they want to get someone disappeared and don't have anything substantial against them.

Worse. They think it's useful.

Then they'll install the Linux version. People here are so indoctrinated, they like it.

That looks nice. I'll check it out if I have some time later; though my written Chinese is fairly limited. So far the Windows keyboard layout did just fine.

I live in China and this software is cancerous not just in the encryption failure, it also nestles into a computer like a trojan. Creates 2 fallback installations and will reinstall itself after removal if you reboot in between, unless you get rid of all 3 installations at once, where they are deliberately trying to obfuscate the uninstall button (triple confirmation, swapping the confirm/cancel buttons and button background colors, etc.).

It's a nasty piece of crap that come preloaded on any phone (android, at least) and Windows-PC here.

Neither of which supports Chinese, so that's useless for any actual users of Sogou.

I believe the lemmy API only shows one or the other. Would be possible to combine it on the app, but not as a native function.

Cards is the only view that feels right.
