I use mojeek. It's good enough for me, image search sucks though

Edit: ups

I mean, a biomass power station should have no net emission, that's the whole point

Been to Guangdong, Beijing and Wuhan for work as early as this February. Very mixed experience for me. Rent is extremely variable depending where you are, can be as low as 100 $ a month for a rather shitty place up to several tens of thousand for places in the city of various quality (including abysmal).

Food is REALLY cheap, you could eat at a restaurant 3 meals a day and spend less than 10 buck in total, even higher end restaurants are much cheaper, for other stuff like clothes it varies, they are cheaper in general but not even remotely like the food.

There are definitely homeless people even children, it's just that many Chinese cities are organized in sort of like "areas" so if you don't look in the right places you won't see them. Based on my experience I can sort of make up 3 or 4 types of areas (this is China so each area can be the size of a city itself):

1. Corpo Block. A large area sold out to corporations or other large institutions (banks, embassies etc.). Squicky clean, glass skyscrapers and trees, pretty much only offices and no one lives there, beautiful but also soulless and boring

2. Generic Block. Most of chinese city areas look like this. Ugly buildings, very clean but kinda of uncanny, some green here and there, lots of people, smog. Still better than American suburbs for sure.

3. The Slums. Trash, some homeless people, crappy place overall. Looks like someone fed Blame! pages to stable diffusion and had them colorized.

4. "Trad Block". Beautiful, clean, some traditional oriental urban aesthetics incorporated with modern buildings. Legitimately wouldn't mind living there, unfortunately the most rare type

Traina are fast, punctual and clean, but overall the experience is something out of Brazil (the movie). Taking the train is more complicated than flying. Firstly, as a foreigner you can't buy the ticket like a normal humanoid, you need to go to a special office with documents and shit (this is true for lots of things, foreigners are basically second class citizens, tourists or not). Then they'll check you when you enter the station, they'll check you again when the train arrives, and the one more time before boarding the train, finally they'll check you when you leave the station, also, occasionally they'll complain for BS like carrying a shaving foam and other TSA-like BS

WTF?

Light: what's your name again?

Columbo: Lt. Columbo sir, only my wife calls me by my first name.

Thanks. I used mojeek a few years ago and was not satisfied, maybe it's time to give it another go

Yep, there's a ton of great Foss projects that have a shitty logo. Look at Octave, looks like something 10yo me made in MS paint in 5 min

Needs a better logo as well

Makes sense. Highlanders should have insane returns on interest.

As far as I know Telegram is the only one with piracy-oriented channels. Maybe we could start one on Signal

One that hasn't been named yet is SolveSpace. There is also CAD sketcher, a free CAD add-on for Blender

I see. I completely missed that somehow
