Starting this account to document what it’s actually like doing a PhD in China.
Research, experiments, papers, failed experiments, late nights—and hopefully a few wins along the way.
Let’s see where this goes.
🚨 Un desarrollador acaba de cargarse el mayor negocio de Adobe.
Se cansó de pagar la suscripción de Adobe y decidió crear su propio editor de imágenes.
Se llama Compositor y es una alternativa gratuita y de código abierto inspirada en Photoshop.
Lo más interesante:
Compositor ocupa solo 12 MB.
En el ordenador de su creador, Photoshop ocupa 6.455 MB.
Lo creó inicialmente para dejar de pagar Adobe y terminó publicándolo para que cualquiera pueda utilizarlo.

ChatGPT sub ran out today, thought I’d have to open my wallet… then got a free one-month trial instead.
My research and my wallet are both saved!😂
Wool secured! Thanks Altman!

Claude & Antigravity are blocked in China, so proxies are mandatory.
Burned ~¥100 on flaky proxies this month and got fed up, so I self-hosted.
2 days of tinkering later: DigitalOcean VPS + clean IP.
Thanks GPT & Gemini.
