Correction: China has never banned any US social network. That said social network decided not to comply with local laws is their decision. Even Tiktok does not work in China

Re:Nepal bans TikTok and says it disrupts social harmony on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @02:35AM (#38260204)
A cynic would see Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea as vassal states of the US and as such "Western".
Re:Show HN: LearnGPT – Browse and share ChatGPT examples on Saturday December 10, 2022 @03:20AM (#33930956)
For a while I thought this is a step-by-step lesson on GPT, the model and architecture
For me, I have been using it as a faster substitute for Google+StackOverflow - generating short snippets that I'll still audit anyway. It is just another, better search engine once you are primed to watch out for the pitfalls

Re:China sharply expands mass labor program in Tibet on Tuesday September 22, 2020 @01:00PM (#24556967)
Are you pretending not to see how a language outside your tribe opens up more opportunities. The entire tribes of Africa and South America underwent the same massive foreign language reeducation now being demonized

From China to US... surveillance-free?
Same here. HN has recently been swamped with polarizing geopolitical rhetoric. Finding it more difficult to get any rational discourse outside the pro-US echo chamber

This is a cool project. Recently, I have had to teach a High School kid some basic science using Whatsapp and found it lacking. Searching on the app stores for a messaging app with Latex support yielded nothing. Already gearing up to roll up my sleeves and build one.
