I plan to draw all solar terms this year, starting with Spring Commences, which is today!
Made this a while ago (4th Feb 2026). Didn't occur to me that I should post it here until I saw someone else posting about vector art today. I've made more since then but I don't know if I should crosspost them all individually as that seems kind of spammy.

Bike City

This is a photo I took in Cheung Chau that I forgot to attach in the other post. Since there are no bridges for cars to reach the island, people move around using bicycles.

Cheung Chau (長洲 / "Long Island")
(lemmy.world)
Cheung Chau (長洲) is an island of Hong Kong. You can only get there exclusively by ferry (or helicopter for emergencies,) making it not a focus of development compared to the rest of Hong Kong.
Here are some more photos:

Hardware Home Button

Explanation/Alt text: The tuxedo Winnie the Pooh meme showing more and more abstract representation of "home".
- The literal word "Home"
- 127.0.0.1, the IP address of your current device
- ~/, the Unix home directory
- A Nintendo Switch RCM clip, which is used to short pin 1 and 10 of the Joycon railing in order to enter recovery mode (RCM) for softmodding. The pin 1 and 10 combination is known as the "hardware home button"

Hong Kong Fire (2025)
(lemmy.world)
My condolences to all the people who have lost their friends, family and home.
In case you don't know what happened, on 26/11 a bit before 3pm, a fire broke out in Wang Fuk Court, a housing estate located in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. The buildings were under renovation with a lot of nets and scaffolding surrounding them, so the fire spread very quickly, and burned from outside in. It burned for a WHOLE DAY, and at the time of me writing this, it's still burning.
There are at least 83 dead, 77 injuries and 200+ people still missing. All these people were innocent, and I am getting secondhand sadness from all the people still alive.
Now onto the mad part (this post is a mess). Capitalism screws us all over again. According to investigations, the construction company used some very flammable materials for a cheaper cost in the renovation, the net may not be up to standard, and (speculation) the fire is probably started by some dumb construction worker's cigarette butt. Bro's guilt must be off the roof right now.
The entire city is now supporting these residents. People are donating materials for all of them who have just lost their homes. The government is providing funds (actually, directly useful) to help them. At least some humanity can still be seen within us in the god awful system.

send me an email rule
(lemmy.world)
Hey yall I have recently acquired myself an email with custom domain on tuta. A month has passed and I basically received no email so please send me whatever you want so I can feel justified to keep paying for it lol
Here's the address: nw@northwestw.in
(I hope this doesn't break advertisement rule)
They were so smart that they went back into the water and don't have to ever deal with capitalism
Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.
Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.
Hongkonger moment
I'm seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.
For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don't have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.
There used to be a joke about "Lee's Forcefield", where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.
Therefore yes, you're going to work.
You don't download shell scripts from github for windows. You download batch scripts and exes from random file hosting sites, and they don't even fix your problem.
I don't even take pictures
We are here. Right here at Lemmy
Every 1 minute, 3L of water gets heated by 50K. With a specific heat capacity of 4200 J / kg / C and density of 1 g / mL, it takes 3 x 4200 x 50 = 630000J per minute.
With a rate of 4.0 x 10^4 J / g for the heater, we can get the rate of combustion with 630000 / 40000 = 15.75 g per minute.
People had multiple accounts because servers were unstable. Now that stability has increased we're just abandoning the alts.
You're very close! I'll make some edits.
1 My life over here is terrible.
2 Work environment is not very good (yes you're correct), benefits are few
3 But don't need to worry, every day has only about 10 people getting heavily injured,
4 and I am very careful.
5 We opened a small store, business is not bad.
6 Although I am not very familiar with English, I can still sometimes
7 (This line is adding a word to the previous line)
8 understand what the white people (we meant westerners) are saying. (Line 6 to 8 are parts of the same sentence)
9 Hope I can get some fame here! I will work hard here, and
10 will be careful with my health
11 Are you (plural) still good?
12 Very miss you (plural), wish we can meet again
(I am a Hongkonger, speaking Cantonese since the day I was born. The other translations using translation software aren't accurate because there is an added character at line 7.)
Fewer people, fewer idiots. I'm glad that people here are actually sane.
