TBH the only reason I used their service was to send pirated stuff to friends. I didn’t want to compromise my own/my primary cloud.

Unfortunately there are no books on local plants that I can find… thanks though! I did find some nature walks.

Thanks, I found some actually!

- Comment on Why don't more people use Bilibili instead of YouTube? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a really bad platform in general and has a lot of censorship issues as well. Good for Chinese content though…
- Comment on Why don't more people use Bilibili instead of YouTube? 3 weeks ago:
It’s possible to sign up without a Chinese phone number and get a higher resolution but yes it kinda sucks. I only use it for Chinese content.

Tbh the only country I ever worry about will actively try to deport me for just trying to be a tourist, on some bogus charge after checking social media, would be the US. Can’t ever think of any other country that would care or act with the same sense of superiority as the US.
US is also like the only country, as far as I know, in the world that presumes you want to immigrate there and you have to prove them otherwise to be let through

Very nice. I played it for a bit recently but I quit at the water temple, didn’t intend to but it kinda made me. To no ones surprise I guess?

- Comment on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? – Terence Eden’s Blog 1 month ago:
I don’t really know how they do it, but some do run newer Android versions like Android 14 (Meebook M8, Bigme B7). Anyway, the lack of Play store isn’t really a consideration in China, it’s only for foreign markets they have to include the Play store. This also means that China has many more Android e-ink brands than are available to us (which mostly are Boox, Meebook, Bigme or Hisense).
- Comment on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? – Terence Eden’s Blog 1 month ago:
Still, e-ink is so much better than a regular screen. If one is really strapped for cash sure, but for one’s eyes sake I’d say e-ink is a worthwhile investment if one likes to read. A phone can’t compare.
- Comment on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? – Terence Eden’s Blog 1 month ago:
To be honest I don’t really find them prohibitively expensive. I have both a Kobo Libra 2 and an Android Boox Page, which I bought for different use cases. I see them both lasting me many years. My previous Kobo Aura One lasted me 7 years in itself before I sold it 2nd hand.
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 2 months ago:
Completely machine translated subtitles often lack quality and nuance to their translations. I’d rather have a human getting paid to do proper subtitling instead. But yes, if the option is having zero subtitles instead, then sure. That’s not the case with Netflix etc though, they can definitely afford proper subtitling.

- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 2 months ago:
Unfortunately it’s still trial and error. Check out e.g Ovpn though. You can always email and ask different providers as well. Though it’s best it you set it up before visiting China. A HK sim through Airalo or similar also works.
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’ve heard Shanghai for example has zones where the GFW is much more lax?
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 2 months ago:
It’s better to pay for a VPN provider that is verified to work in China.
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 2 months ago:
You don’t have to set up your own VPN. Many public providers work.
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 2 months ago:
It’s crazy that this is an opinion that people really have. I don’t like authoritarian states and I have a lot of issues with the CCP, but this isn’t true at all. Loads of native Chinese living in China uses a VPN. They don’t care about it.
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 2 months ago:
They have. I don’t know what people are talking about in this post. It’s bypassable easily, and the CCP won’t kill you for it. There are so many Chinese using aVPN themselves to bypass GFW
- Comment on how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new? 2 months ago:
And with it, less reading on Lemmy, more reading real books :)
- Comment on how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new? 2 months ago:
Learning a new language, and with it, a new way to see the world, is a true life hack.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
From my limited experience with Obsidian, I still preferred Logseq actually. And the syncing is easily done by just storing the markdown files in a cloud folder. But yeah, it’s subjective for sure.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
I’d say Logseq is better than any note-taking alternative that works in the same way. It’s a bit different to regular note-taking apps as it acts more as a knowledge database based on tags, than with a regular file-folder structure. Also I prefer Actual Budget to YNAB, as it’s starting to have even more features than YNAB and actually supports things like bank syncing for major parts of Europe that even YNAB doesn’t. And it’s free to host yourself or really cheap to host through PikaPods. But it’s hard to say “objectively” because in the end, a lot of it is subjective. If people are used to running one program, it’ll be hard to switch to another, even if it’s “objectively” better.
The largest issue with FOSS applications is that many contributors don’t have any UX/UI knowledge, which is a huge factor in why people choose one program over another. I’d argue GIMP is a mess compared to Photoshop, even if GIMP is able to many, many things that Photoshop is able to.

Yes, DRM discussions doesn’t need to be piracy-related nor illegal.
