so this time the image could be shown….
@larand Hi ?. I'm not a proofreader by trade, but I've been very sensitive to typography and typeface stuff. :-P Good to know you, Larry.
@matigo those who "have technical knowledge" are not necessarily anarchists. They're surmounting the firewall just in hopes of bingewatching youtube videos or killing time on Instagram. I'm not very familiar with the political landscape of China, but I seldom see people run counter to the authorities. (They might be underground without me knowing :-P)
A sort of trivial question from a typography nerd: why is the comma counted as part of the URL (the link itself is comma free and works fine)?
@matigo China has a population of over 1.3 billion. Those "who follow the rules" might constitute 70% (at a rough, non-official estimate). Do the math, and you'll find why the government has to construct the firewall. Yeah, just in an effort to prevent the people from widening their horizons via the Internet. China Intranet is what they are endeavoring to build instead.
@matigo iiii.ca is powered by WordPress, which I’ve been tinkering with for almost 10 years. It’s self-hosted, not with WordPress.com, another victim of the sinister GFW. ?
@matigo ? thank you so much for reminding me of this! I habitually use the wp-URLs everywhere to slash traffic use just because of their hotlinkability. But I pasted the original URLs here… and I forgot having set the hotlinking protection… ?
@matigo oh do I? ??? but the images are seen on my site and micro.blog. (Images are stored on a different server.)
@matigo I guess that’s why Pharrell interprets “HAPPY” as “clap along if you feel like a room WITHOUT A ROOF”.
