Can anyone link me to the list of quotes used at the top of the page when you load into Lemmygrad?

Thanks! I’ve updated the original post with some of your info

I wonder if there will be an exception made for texting or calling, since the article mentions Internet addiction specifically and parents probably want their children to be able to contact them 24/7

UOS

SCMP article

Likewise in World of Warcraft, your skeleton that appeared when you died was turned to a tombstone

This was actually a result of the publisher and not government censorship.

TL;DR from this article:

So, while there’s no way to be totally sure what’s going on behind the scenes, can can draw some basic conclusions:

• Skeletons are not censored in all Chinese games, or considered taboo in Chinese culture.
• There is no public law that bans the use of skeletons, blood, or anything else like that in video games. But China’s laws about game censorship are broad and could be interpreted in a variety of ways.
• The censorship of skeletons in foreign games like WOW and Dota 2 was probably voluntary on the part of the games’ Chinese publishers, who were being extra careful to avoid any potential delays in the review process.

In other words, the next time you see a fleshy skeleton lumbering towards you in WOW, don’t blame Chinese culture, and don’t even blame the Chinese government. Instead, blame the game’s Chinese publishers, who put flesh back on the bones in the hopes of getting the game released more quickly in China.

I can absolutely vouch for HelloChinese, I’ve enjoyed it a lot more than Duolingo but definitely try both! Great list, recommend everything on here but here’s a couple extra things I use:

Apps

• Pleco – Dictionary app
• 微信读书 – Audio book app

Youtubers

• Grace Mandarin Chinese
• Katherine’s Journey to the East

Websites

• Bilibili – Chinese Youtube
• Baidu – Chinese search engine
• LINE – Online dictionary
• Chinese Grammar Wiki – Self explanatory

Anki

• Ultimate Chinese Deck – Deck of Chinese words in order of common usage. Definitely look up example sentences and watch content after learning new words so they stick
• MorphMan – Add-on that generates sentences for you to learn and read from

Great documentary. For another look at daily life in the DPRK I’ve recently found this video series by a Chinese tourist. The video I linked talks about housing, income, etc. but there are many more videos on the channel in the [North Korea World] Playlist

Wow that is a surprising amount of support, even for Twitter. Maybe people are starting to realize America’s hypocrisy.

Yo no conozco a nadie que odie el comunismo y su patria más que a mi familia, y ellos nunca dejan de hablar de cubanos que apoyan la revolución. Por lo menos un vez a la dilla se quejan de los cubanos que extrañan a cuba, que quiren volver a cuba, or de los que decien que nunca van a viener a los Estados Unidos porque “no quieren traicionar la revolución.” Esto no es un delirio de paranoia, es la verdad.

There could be legitimate grievances among the people for sure. Food, medical, and power shortages are all real (and the fault of the US blockade), but these protests have gone far beyond that in the imperial core. Almost 350k people have signed a petition demanding US military intervention for “humanitarian” reasons. To voice support for these protests is to enable and encourage those who seek Cuban blood.

I’ve linked my thoughts here. In short: we are not in favor of this US sponsored color revolution, when the majority of Cubans are in favor of their government.

It’s been preinstalled in Ubuntu since 20.04 if that helps. I use and haven’t had any issues with it so far

Or they call themselves socialist but say the Nordic countries are true socialism. To be fair, I used to be one of those people. It takes a strong anti-capitalist mindset for people to look into socialism, then witness the failure of the electoral system to slide into communism/Marxism-Leninism. So while I would still regard this is good news, even if most of them aren’t comrades yet.

Are there any advantages to using Qwant over Duckduckgo?

Here’s a couple book recommendations. I have not personally read them myself yet, but I’ve heard particularly good things about the “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.”

Sorry I haven’t checked lemmy in a minute, you can find guides for it on this steam page. Check the About section for the specific games you want to try. It’s pretty simple, latency is good too though that depends on the ping of each player.

Edit: just realized you wanted a general netplay guide, you can find one here or use the netplay section under the Mario Party 4/5/6/7 Netplay Guide, it’s pretty much the same for most games.

Dota 2, Halo, Tabletop Simulator, and Mario Party via Dolphin.

Anyone know why they stopped advertising lemmygrad on r/GenZedong btw? It was how I found this website, it’s a shame they’re not promoting it more and more

It’s in Washington DC, USA
