Yes! I can wholeheartedly recommend Tokyo Explorer as well. He's a talented photographer who started doing a lot of these walks during covid. He does both 4K walks and walking streams where he interacts with the audience.
Because a repo is meant for source control. People are using the issue tracker to leave general comments. There's no reason to branch or fork a blog post. It pollutes the contributions metrics. That said, I don't really care how people use Github, but there are better blog solutions out there already that would make more sense to use. However, this aches of the old adage "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
Since your in android, install Firefox and then ublock origin then go into ublock settings and check the 'annoyances list' and you'll have a much nicer experience.
Firefox for Android has got ridiculously better over the last 18mths and is a usable replacement for Chrome for my needs.
Sounds strange. Programming resources usually aren't blocked here - even when they're on Wikipedia. StackOverflow isn't blocked, and GitHub hasn't been blocked either.
E: Excluding Google search I've only encountered one blocked programming resource when sporadically programming on my spare time here:
golang.org - which I'm guessing is because it's on hosted on Google's servers.
Yeah but how do you search for stuff there if google doesn't work? I.e. you try to learn "udp hole punching" how do you get the relevant wikipedia, stackoverflow etc pages?
Chinese Bing has an interesting feature where it pop ups a dictionary definition when you hover over any English word in the search results. Even with that, not everyone's English is good enough to understand Wikipedia/StackOverflow/... so they use Baidu Baike/Zhihu/... as alternatives.
Chinese Wikipedia is blocked. I thought parts of English Wikipedia was blocked somehow as well, but seems like that's outdated information (after they started enforcing https in June 2015[0]). You'll find a list of the blocking methods on the Great Firewall wiki article[1].
Using a VPN usually slows down your connection quite a bit if it's located outside the GFW, so most devs in China probably aren't using a VPN to access GitHub (myself included).
