For translation I would recommend Pleco as you can have the person you are communicating with draw the characters and then translate that. It isn't perfect but I used it heavily when I lived there

People's Daily is my go to for Chinese news but there are others as well like CGTN and Xinhua

More or less yes you did American English correctly. More often I just refer to them as semis without adding the truck part, some also call them tractor trailers. It was clear what you meant though so only need to change it slightly if you are going for full American English

I did find it eventually but only after following your direct link to it and going back to the main page after language selection, I meant put it on the landing page before language selection so https://prolewiki.org/ as opposed to https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Main_page

The non language landing page doesn't have that sidebar and I only ever hit that page and searched immediately so never saw the other one with a lot more on it

As someone who didnt know you had a library and just checked it out few suggestions if you are open to them:

  • link to the library from the main prolewiki landing page, otherwise it isn't clear that a library exists
  • add an easy way to export the texts as pdf's or ereader compatible formats
  • where possible highlight what was edited in the MIA version of texts that you host

Happy to write out longer use cases/feature requests if you'd like

A couple ideas for you:

Work on easier people, tons of people are only a couple good conversations away and are a better use of your time. I know it is tough cause it is your mom but definitely something to consider.

Get away from the two party discussion. Focus on concrete issues she faces and ask a lot of questions on how she thinks it should be handled. If she is a hard work and no handouts sort who has had factory experience maybe unions could be an in. Or ask about what she considers the minimum acceptable lifestyle and dig in to how to get society there for all, even the hardworking and down on their luck. Like what hoops is she willing to jump through if she got hurt or sick.

This list is quite disingenuous and requires a whole lot of caveats to be even technically true.

Let's take Liberia for example. European powers had trading posts established and the country was later colonized by the US. So only in the strictest reading of definitions of being colonized by a European power would it be on this list.

Great post! Tried it out this weekend, when I make it again I'll likely leave out some of the spices and the tomato paste/sauce to make it a little more traditional.

Also this inspired me to create https://lemmygrad.ml/c/commissars_cookbook since I didn't see a community for recipes yet

Jellyfin is great! As for a suggestion I'm a big fan of How Yukong Moved the Mountains
