galuggus··on Show HN: Tell YouTube ads to fuck off
Hi Everyone. Thanks for posting to Show HN

I made this

Ads keep slipping through my ad-blocker so I made this extension to make me feel better.

It changes the words 'Skip ads' to 'fuck off' on YouTube.

Will this result in more girls?

Currently people tend to stop having kids once they have a girl.

There are many families with an older sister and a younger brother(maybe why Peppa Pig is so popular) but far fewer with an older boy and a younger girl.

China has had multiple app storeson both ios (through widespread jailbreaking- the shop you buy your iphine from will install it for you)and android. The experience is very poor. They are full of scammy, pirated apps(although they do have emulators)

The majority of users just want their phone to work.

Cheese is becoming very popular with young people in China. Cheese tea was a big fad a few years ago(milk tea with a cheese lid)
galuggus··on Don't Pick Up: Missed calls in India
YI wonder if that's where Drake (or one of his ghostwriter s) took the phrase 'hotline bling' from. Before his song I only ever heard that on late 90s pirate radio in London (to describe the Nokia screen lighting up with missed calls)

A good contrast is China. China is very careful not to have another cultural Revolution. The solutions they use may be unpalatable to many westerners.

galuggus··on Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
Not Peter but I learnt Chinese

First I wasted a lot of time looking for how to study Chinese. The best thing to do is to consistently practice. Don't worry about grammar.

Just try learn new words everyday and then deliberately practice them with speakers.

No tool will help you with this.

Try to identify why you need to study Chinese. You'll learn much faster if you need rather than want to learn it.if you don't have a need try to create one.

Learning characters is much easier than you think. The hard part about Chinese for me is the pronunciation and when you finally get good enough to hold conversations understanding that people don't say what they mean.
