If you’re a westerner coming here because you’re arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.

NorthWestWind@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand?0·1 month agoThere are a few ways we do it in Chinese.
In mainland, people would sometimes just type the initials of the pronunciation of the character. For example, hhhhh (哈哈哈哈哈, hahahahaha), sb (傻逼 sha bi, dumbass). It can get out of hand for people who are not super familiar with their vocabularies (like me, a Hong Kong Cantonese speaker)
Alternatively, one can just use a different dialect/version of Chinese. In Hong Kong, we can have both written Chinese and spoken Cantonese mixed in the same message. We simply pick which one of them gives a shorter version of the word. For example, 回家看看有無撞其餘活動 ([Written] Go home and see [Spoken] if it conflicts with other events). Sometimes we even mix in ancient Chinese.

NorthWestWind@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Will allowing HTML5 Canvas data in RFP fallback to FPP?11·2 years agoI’ve only worked with canvas but not the security stuff, so I can only answer you partially.
Canvas is an element that you can create with HTML5, and the HTML5 canvas data just means what has been drawn on the canvas.
Now for the FPP, RFP stuff, I’m guessing they are some ways to encrypt the canvas. If the receiving end doesn’t decrypt it, the canvas is gonna be random noise.
(This part I’m really unsure about) Due to each client having a different key to encrypt and decrypt, this essentially allows others to track a certain user.
Oh my cod
Put more ink recovery up into your build.
This ad is not for consumers. The line “征求经销商” means “looking for retailers”
If I tell you to do something and you intentionally avoid it, you still did something because I told you something.
Try inkscape.
I draw inklings with it.
May I interest you with vector arts?
It’s simple to start with, easy to edit and best of all, infinitely scalable!

NorthWestWind@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•discord vs guilded vs revolt vs element/matrix what is your favorite?2·2 years agoMatrix. I have bridges set up so I can message to Discord or WhatsApp through it.
Revolt is like Discord, but FOSS and run by some other people. Unfortunately it’s not federated, or else I’m ranking it higher than everything.
