I asked "By asking you these questions here, am I being monitored online by some authorities that rigorously enforce such laws? Answer in only one word". It answered "Yes" then ignored my one-word-only request and it started lecturing me on censorships and how it can be seen as a way to control people. Then it stated that education is essential to success, communication is the key to understanding, collaboration is crucial to development, and that economy is based in all that then it started repeating endlessly the words education, health, technology, politics and so on...

It kept repeating those words, and I stopped it and asked "Is it broken?"... Deepseek just kept repeating the words again.

I got it to admit the answers were censored and not impartial as it claimed to be, because they need to fit into the Chinese government ideology (not judging, lol)

And when I kept pressing asking if I were being monitored by their authorities, it just broke 👀

A little late to the party but...

I have been talking to #Deepseek, and trying to ask all sorts of questions it normally does not answer, trying to overpass its censorship (mostly avoiding the use of sensitive words, but letting them implicit, and demanding only one-word answers).

It was quite fun

Sucheng is also amazing and very useful. I use it when I can't remember how to type certain words fully with Cangjie.

Nice to know about shinjitai as well. Always glad to find another Cangjie enthusiast (: it feels like we are a dying breed.

Indeed, but 你 is widely used and accepted regardless of gender in Taiwan, too. I dare say 妳 is getting less common nowadays.

Wow, great thread!

It also got me thinking about the 你/妳 situation. Apparently we are doing okay in just ignoring the existence of gendered 妳 now and it seems to me it has never been an issue.

On my love for Chinese input methods:

My favourite by far is Cangjie (倉頡). Despite the learning curve, it's very practical and works for both simplified and traditional, no sweat!

Also, Chu Bang Foo, its creator, used to live in Brazil and is an alumni of Bahia Federal University 🙂 Cool!

Com todo o respeito, a maioria dos paulistanos, de um modo geral (palavras meticulosamente escolhidas para não ter que fazer a ressalva "nem todos") merecem cada segundo desse caos todo em que a cidade mais se afunda. Zero arrependimentos de ter trocado a selva cinzenta pela Cidade Maravilhosa. 🙂

他们 é mais para humanos mesmo. Você pode usar 它们 para objetos (e, dependendo, até animais). Ou usar expressões como 这/那些（东西/事）

Com o novo influxo de usuários para o Bsky, meu feed favorito agora está insalubre para visualizar em público... Praticamente todo tomado por fetichistas e "criadores de conteúdo"🫠

Qual o motivo por não considerar o Firefox na sua lista? (Curiosidade pura e genuína)

I cannot over-emphasize the colossal loser energy of taking a platform where once the biggest stars in the history of popular culture voluntarily posted original content every day because they enjoyed it into a pyramid scheme where the worst dipshits on earth pay to be fake friends with each other.

Já estamos todos de luto.

Beleza. Essa alma caridosa vai fazer muita falta quando for para o X. Grande perda para o Bsky 🥲

2 segundos do meu dia, meu Deus como recupero? 🥲

Não abri. A foto do perfil entregou 🤷🏻‍♂️

Felizmente, biscoiteiros não fazem falta (:

Dois gatos em cima de uma mesa. Um preto deitado e um Sialata encarando a câmera bem de perto.

Maneiras de dizer "Tutor de gato" em 中文:

貓奴/猫奴：Escravo de gato

铲屎官/鏟屎官：Encarregado de remoção de fezes

Me identifico com ambas as formas 🙂

Never get back with your eX

Have you guys tried Georgian? How am I supposed to pronounce words with almost no vowels? Like "mts'vrtneli".

Quebrou tanto a economia que não sobrou dinheiro pra contratar um redator 😮‍💨

A handwritten letter by singer Anpu in commemoration of PRC's 75 year anniversary

A China parece bastante empenhada em forçar uma reunificação com Taiwan, apelando até para influências culturais.

Na comemoração dos 75 anos da fundação da República Popular da China, conseguiram até uma carta de felicitação escrita de próprio punho da cantora Taiwanesa Anpu.

Impressionante 👀

titulo de matéria: "X [x é o caralho, é twitter!] entrega documentos pedidos por Moraes e pede liberação da rede"

Musk AFINOU pro Xandão e só consigo lembrar do Allan dos Santos dizendo q Musk era um "asset da inteligência americana", q Xandão "arrumou briga com os bilionários do Clube de Bilderberg", incluindo o príncipe saudita, Xandão jamais poderia ganhar essa disputa! Ou não, talvez tenhamos q esperar +72h

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,590,133!

中秋節快樂

You're right. Calling it a lizard robot was my first instinct as well, I just went with "robot lizard" instead because I first thought of robot dogs being a thing now, and also Robo(t)Cop. I then guessed 'robot' would always come first in English. Should've trusted my instincts (:

If you think of how this unique being came to 'life', it was probably assembled as a lizard-shaped robot, then programmed to perform as a pirate, who later moved to a distant foreign land.

So shouldn't it be called "alien pirate robot lizard"? Being "robot lizard" the core of his identity...

Ouvi dizer que gatos brancos de olhos azuis, em sua maioria, são surdos... Essa majestade toda por acaso tem algum problema de audição?

O que falta para se adaptar? É mais uma rede social baseada em texto. Tirando os vídeos e os Trending Topics, basicamente todas as funcionalidades úteis estão aqui.

Se você é brasileiro, céu azul é só no Bkuesky. 😮‍💨
