I read the article in the source code mode and thought it was intentional until I came back to the comments

P.S. your solution seems to have disabled the custom font instead of fixing it

Hmm I cannot load the font on Firefox 151.0.3 Arch Linux. All I see is only a title and empty paragraphs. So I end up reading the article in the source code mode and felt pretty on-brand.

Back to HN comments it looks like this wasn't actually intentional?

Nice. Searching on Google I only got interactive maps requiring annoying registration.

A small tip: It's a bit complicated to hide a specific icon on the map. It would be better if users could uncheck them when exploring the map instead of having to find them on the left panel. Besides, an export / import functionality for what you stored in LocalStorage would also be helpful.

And there's some extra lessons from the Elden Ring map from Chinese communities: They allow users to contribute by leaving comments with coordinates. The comments are categorized into "tips", "lore", "roast", etc and can be liked or disliked, which can be filtered by the viewers. In the end it became a very useful map for all kind of players.

Good job! So when a section is almost finished, how should I find the last few unsolved nonograms?

I send it to my wife and she couldn't move the pieces because the page preview exits when she swipes. There are several tricks to disable this default behavior and it would be nice to add them

Please don't only start to edit the videos when you fill up the 256GB card. You would regret when you have to recover lost files from it. I've seen too many people lose irreplaceable memories due to card corruption or accidental deletion and it is even painful for me to scan and recover their >256GB cards.

Move them out as early as you can and do regular backups. Videos of your child are much more precious than a whole backup solution.

I have the same requirement and in the end I turned it into a email service. I would recommend you to provide more interfaces.

I'm not against your ideas in general, but I have to point out that I have several friends in China running small online forums despite the obstacles. Yes, it is rather difficult to get the licenses; Yes, they have to censor themselves; Yes, they have to temporally shut down during congress.

My point is that China isn't selectively banning websites from a single country. I wouldn't criticize if US apply the reasons of banning TikTok to all foreign websites.

> China doesn’t allow US social media companies to operate there.

This statement is not entirely accurate. It is possible for a US social media company to operate in mainland China, provided it complies with local regulations, including hosting its servers in China and adhering to censorship requirements. For instance, LinkedIn operated in China until August 2023. However, it may ultimately prove unfeasible due to factors such as user preferences, the volume of censorship requests, or even perceived unfair competition. Since at least 2010, when Google faced demands for compliance with Chinese censorship regulations, the requirements for foreign companies to operate in China have been clearly outlined.

No comment on these policies, but it is undeniable that businesses operating in foreign markets must comply with local laws. However, by intervening in business activities, undermining corporate property rights, and contradicting its own stated principles of free market economics and international trade rules, the U.S. has demonstrated economic nationalism. I can't tell who is playing defect in this case.
