我，在家做饭：拒绝外卖平台剥削骑手
还是我，点外卖：骑手也是要过日子的嘛，得让他们挣点钱

My personal opinion:

I think Collin is so nice to people that he is being targeted. If someone said I'm not capable of maintaining software and wanted to keep me out of my own repo, I will happily ask them to go fuck themselves.

I have opened the source code, I slap a reasonable license on it. If you don't like me or the code, just fork it. I'm not paid to bear with your accusing and insulting. And yes, it is insulting considering someone dedicated his time and effort on the code that he is not being paid for. No matter good or bad, nobody should ever negate such effort.

----

Second thought:

I'm not saying being nice is a bad thing. One of my goals is to be nice to others. However, I can't say countless, but I do see several people being too nice to people and eventually hurting themselves, some of them are my friends.

I'm glad that I can be aggressive when I need to.

How a Hacker Saved The Internet

Kerbal Space Program, but Chinese edition.

If you live in Chine for long enough, you will notice that there is no respect to normal people. The rocket landing is one aspect of it. Another aspect is the big IT companies. For example, WeChat, used by almost every Chinese, it just shit everywhere in your phone. Can you believe an instant message app will need 100GB of storage? Another example is Tencent QQ, a mimic of OICQ, will scan the user's disk and report to home server. They are internet assholes.

There are countless situations that you, as a normal person, feel being insulted by the government and big companies.

The Problems with China's Space Program

Me doing demonstration during the sprint review:

The first demo works
The second demo works
The third demo does not work

At that moment, with the fear of losing my lovely Friday afternoon and being devoured by the endless debugging and headache, I understood why the code doesn't work at all is not the worst thing. The code partially working is the worst thing.

Luckily it's not a trick issue to solve. I must be blessed.

And guns are so good in Minecraft. Now I can go to the caves and start mining without getting scared by creepers.

After I can host a Minecraft server in my home (with no static IPv6 address), and I have a domain hosted at Cloudflare, I suddenly realized instead of using the tunnel, which introduces latency, I can update the record based on my dynamic but global IPv6 address!

My friends were no longer required to update the server addresses everytime my ISP assigned me a new one.

It's not hard to call HTTP API using curl and parse the result using jq.

I love IPv6 (but still I need to disable my router's firewall)

With friends like this, who needs enemies :D

They ARE the enemies😂

> The tools, supported by the U.S.-backed Open Technology Fund (OTF), have seen a surge of usage in Russia, Iran, Myanmar and authoritarian states that heavily censor the internet.

What do you mean by authoritarian states that heavily censor the internet? I guess they haven't figured out a way to break through Chinese GFW. LOL

Saw this drawing (Figure 1) in the Animal Crossing. Then remembered I saw similar makeup in a Japanese musical (Figure 2).

It looks like the black marker/makeup at the corners of the mouth is to show the personality of a character. In case this, it means this character is evil/vile.

First time visiting a dentist. Did a tooth cleaning. Then they found a hole on one of my teeth, asking me if I wanted to fill it. Of course I want to fill it.

Before the operation, the doctor asks me if I want to use sedation. I asked how pain it will be, the doctor said it will only be a little bit more painful than the cleaning. So I decide to not use any sedation.

And guess what? It's super painful. The cleaning is more like scratching the surface. But the drilling is inside my head. It feels like there is a group of construction crews working in my head.

Luckily, my teeth are doing great considering in the past years I didn't give them too much care. I only switched to an electric toothbrush last week.

Window frame antenna, receive only. Can listen to NHK (locator OL14). The swr and impedance are not suitable for transmission. Maybe a tuner can help?
