But Astra is simply bad at writing. I have to use Argon to rewrite everything Astra wrote in an academic setting. Astra always tries to cover every small detail and engages in defensive writing that is unreadable.

propaganda

It's 2026 and people still believe this Uyghur genocide propaganda? In the meantime, Israel and the US have been killing people in the middle east for years, but china is "on a completely different level"?

Baidu Map offers real time traffic map. There is no historical data available though.

You mean tautology?

I've never used Streisand before. What I normal do is using Shadowsocks directly (part of what Streisand offers). It has Windows, Linux, OSX, and Android clients. Third party IOS client is also available.

This seems to be allowed in WeChat. But such text will be blocked if you try to send it in a group chat. I guess CPP allows you to talk privately but not publicly in a 300 people group.

Data usage is not free and also controlled by carriers.

Uninstall and use chrome version.

This is what I use in my computer. https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/cjk/

I use subdl on Linux, a simple command line tool.

Finally an original source. I was wondering what the original text of "once untrustworthy, always restricted" would be. I think a more accurate translation should be "untrustworthy here, restricted everywhere".

Til I'm not alone!

Great software and camera. But having seen pixel 2 xl, I find the bezel on my pixel really intolerable.

This actually looks really nice in my android chrome. It might be useful in some cases.

Dude, the stories you didn't tell are far more intriguing

You miss a point bro, that is, foreigners in China are warmly welcomed and respected. I think that compensate the social status of IT workers. BTW, by foreigners I mean white male

Shipped with Dell but wifi not working? I don't buy it.

Emacs's elpy package is also great at auto-complete. I haven't used PyCharm myself but Emacs is more than enough. Also, most of my other programming are done in Emacs.

+1 for XPS 13. I installed Archlinux on it, just to get rid of those Windows bloatware.

Actually, in China, everyone uses WeChat. It is the ONE IM app you described.

There should be scientific studies telling us the average size of penises.
