@CTVNews Most foreigners will be fine. Go ahead and visit China! I have lived there for 4 years straight for university. I'm back in Canada, and I still have fond memories of it. I have seen the political winds shift throughout the 4 years, and I have been fine the whole way through.
My website, https://t.co/aYFvUMIZEI , is due for an update. I will update it eventually. I should probably also migrate it to Cloudflare Pages. This will also allow me to write server-side functions, so I can do interesting things like call transit APIs without exposing my keys.
@Ma_WuKong@uvigo No quiero ni pensar en todos los tatuajes con carácteres chinos que se habrán hecho con palabras incoherentes y que sin embargo la gente luce de forma orgullosa
@PMacc94@Metrolinx@bowker_john Hosting is sometimes cheaper in the US with little noticeable difference in latency for Canadians. I have a tiny VPS in the US that costs me only $1 a month.
@uwunetes@shelvacu@qnqelle In China, you often have no choice but to do so to install VPN clients, because obviously you wouldn't find open-source censorship circumvention software in a Chinese app store!
@charmreduction@RM_Transit I think the different trains are not a big deal. It is not some exotic technology like ICTS that was used on the Scarborough RT, and based on the images, it seems to look like any other Asian metro system. Even in China, different lines in a city may use different train types.
Panic buying in Hangzhou due to Typhoon Bavi. I made this image freely available on Wikimedia Commons and used it in the Wikipedia article for Typhoon Bavi.
