Quick question: is avoid prompting Xi / disabling satire about Xi the sufficient condition that would make Midjourney accessible to the people in China?

The answer is: NO. That's the point.

Is satire on June 4th, 1989, the tiananmen square massacre allowed in China? No! Is satire on COVID and Wuhan allowed in China? No! ... This list is so long in China that, eventually, if any person wants satire on some forbidden topics using Midjourney, this tool will be blocked. And very likely it would happen. The demand is not smaller than the endless gallery of women with huge boobs. So this is a hard problem.

Typora 1.0 5 years ago

They did not exclude possible charge for major upgrade.

I am not relying on typora. I use it for WYSIWYG markdown editing with equations. Actually I like more the functionality to copy pasted image to a folder - that is the only feature I really like.

I still have not convinced myself to pay for it.

Some comments after testing it for the first time:

I am looking for alternatives of Typora since it is not open sourced. Obsidian is new and close to it (same feature to paste image from system clipboard) but still needs more work -

1. Font size and equation font size are not easily configured. 2. Inline Latex is not supported yet. 3. Equation numbering are not supported yet

And it is not open sourced either. Good work and keep going!
