No, you're simply being a bigoted ass. I am not surprised that your comments are not dead, as it's been perfectly acceptable to insinuate various things about certain groups of people here, or even straight up write horrible thing

As someone who has been using Cyrillic writing all my life, I've never noticed this bloat you're speaking of, honestly... Maybe if you're one of those AI behemots who works with exabytes of training data, it would make some s

I am blessed with living in one of the most polluted areas in the world (PM2.5 going into thousands of µg/m³ in winter; summers are not much better due to dense chemical smog). Can you say more about how you're using it to combat

What are you on about? rutracker, libgen, sci-hub, z-lib are all Russian/ex-Soviet projects and cater heavily to westerners. I'm 99% sure archive.is and anna's-archive are also in this category.

Nah, you've simply never lived in a country which is afraid of its own population and does (or tried to) MITM internet traffic. Mine does both, there was a scandal several years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id

Several garages near my house have people living in them, and they burn anything that burns -- plastic bottles, pieces of used tires, rags soaked in used motor oil. I'm pissed as hell at them, but the country is already poor, and they

I know developed countries have a very different understanding of the word "clean", but in my city -- which is stuck in the 18th century -- the difference between winter and summer months is extreme . 500-1000 µg/m³ of PM2.5

My parents were the same until I forced them to install an air purifier, and showed them the filter after running it for one winter (with windows always closed). It was snow white when new, and turned black after four cold months (not grey

No. I would have mentioned Almaty as it's big enough so that at least some people would have heard about it. I'm in this dump: https://aqicn.org/station/@517492/ Almaty also has terrible air quality, but

IQAir has shit coverage. I live in Kazakhstan in a city at the eastern part of the country, near the border with Chinese Xinjiang, where PM2.5 levels regularly exceed 1000 µg/m³ (that's right, it's not a typo). The highest co
