@curiosity Thank you for your insight. I can see that the mobile version is highly anticipated. According to my plan, and if all goes well, the mobile version will also be free for basic features, similar to the browser version. Premium features, like PDF support or cloud storage syncing, will be part of the pro version. My goal is to make the app enjoyable and ad-free for casual use, with payment being optional for those who want to access more advanced features and spend more time with it.

I understand the frustration with subscriptions, but I’m concerned about the sustainability of a one-time fee model, especially given the ongoing costs of cloud services. I also plan to regularly update content, build up the community, and share more learning resources. It's all need time, passion and incentives as I talked about.

Thank you for the support. You will get the pro version for free too, plus 3 codes for your dispose . Hope you will like it

It's all done, pal.
You can add to your collection here: https://pnlpal.dev/tags/turkish

Not finished yet. Should introduce how to use Captionz with Dictionariez.

I recently took a detour to develop an intriguing tool for Chrome's side panel, which is an impressive new feature in Chrome that I believe many people will find it quite useful. In some cases, it could even be more straightforward and convenient compared to Dictionariez, which uses a popup window to display results. SidePal is designed to work seamlessly within the side panel, showing dictionaries that integrate perfectly with this feature.

Here is how it looks.

It's works well with Google Translate too.

Isn't it handy to have ChatGPT on the sideline ready to answer any questions from you?

Unfortunately, not all web dictionaries work in the side panel because they need to be embedded in an iframe, and some websites don't allow this. For example, my favorite dictionary, Longman English, doesn’t support iframe embedding.

You can still try adding more dictionaries to your collection from this site, just as you would with Dictionariez. If you receive a warning that the dictionary couldn’t be loaded, it means it’s not supported on SidePal, so I recommend using Dictionariez instead.

In this sense, SidePal is a lighter version of Dictionariez. It has its own advantages and can be used alongside Dictionariez. I hope you find it useful.

From heaven to hell, Alibaba not just fucked up its biggest IPO ever in history, but also messed up with the world's largest and fiercest government. So pity, Alibaba. Is it still worth working as 996?

大秦赋观剧--必备历史知识，秦国何人可称君；何人可封侯；秦国历史上何人又封君又封侯。剧中人物君侯之别。
大家好，因公事繁忙，久未更新，在此深表歉意，特殊的一年即将过去，岁末将至，敬颂冬绥。
借着大秦赋正在热播，我今天贡献一点秦朝爵位制度的知识，以便于大家清晰明白的追剧。
秦国何人可称君；何人可封侯；秦国历史上何人又封君又封侯
爵位制度完善于周代，西周自武王伐纣以后，周武王对伐纣有功的人进行了分封，功臣与先朝帝王后裔俱列爵位五等：公、侯、伯、子、男。这个封爵制度十分的清晰简单。
下面我们先说说君号：
西周的分封制，诸侯们享有的权力十分的大，完全就是国中之国，可以有自己的军队，对自己的封地有完全的管辖权，并且是世袭的，父子代代相传，到战国时期出现的封君制则不同，虽然封君们在封地内依然享有极大的权力，但是封君在其封地之上要受到国君的调度，且基本上不是世袭的。《仪礼·丧服》篇讲：“君，至尊也。”郑玄注：“天子、诸侯及卿、大夫有地者皆曰君。”唐贾公彦又疏道：“以其有地则有臣故也。”这就指出了称君的两个条件，一是据有土地；二是属有臣子。
战国时，周天子逐渐失去权威，各诸侯纷纷自封为“王”，在“王”之下，分封的最高等级的就是“君”。原则上讲，封君以自己的封地为封号，比如秦相商鞅的封地为商於十五邑，因此得封君号—商君，但在这里我们要补充一句，这个时候的封地性质上与西周的分封制度已经大相径庭，此时的商君只不过是享有商地税赋的一部分利益，而不享有商地的统治权，而且人也不在自己的封地行使管辖权。大秦赋里赵国的平原君，因封地平原邑而得号。大王之弟，成蛟因分封食邑地名长安，而获封号长安君。但是历史上也有些君号的册封，显然与封地地名无关，比如楚国的春申君，大家都知道，春秋战国，礼坏乐崩，老规矩已经无人认真遵守，在周天子地位逐渐衰落的同时，诸侯们的各种僭越也在慢慢出现。先是用九鼎八簋陪葬，再是违制驾六……最后诸侯们连周天子分封的权力也越俎代庖、僭越代劳了。于是，封君开始出现。诸侯们将自己的封地进行二次分封，分封给卿大夫。但是，这些人虽然有封地，却不能算作诸侯，而且诸侯们也不愿意自降身价、给卿大夫与自己平起平坐的权利！最终，这些被分封的卿大夫们有了一个新名字——封君。此时的封君，除了享受对应的待遇，君号的更多内涵是王给予王室宗亲等人的荣誉，封君不一定非是王族，他们大约可分为两种：1，列国君主的子弟、外戚、幸臣；2，有文治武功于本国的将相。虽话说如此，然我们看到享有君号的依旧多为列国君王宗室子弟。大秦赋里的渨阳君；长安君；以及两位有名无实的西周君；东周君等等均是如此。秦国历史上虽有商鞅，张仪等外戚得封君号，但战国晚期，非王室宗亲的吕不韦；嫪毐；李斯等人虽得以封侯，却无一得封君号，至少我从司马迁的史记中没有看到他们封君的任何信息。由此也可以知道，君，爵册封为两个完全不同的体系。个人以为，封君制的存在某种意义上也是商鞅变法，唯军功享爵位制度，为王室宗亲的利益留的一个后门，以便王室宗亲可以享受爵位制度以外的某些特权。
我们再来看看爵位制度，西周形成完善的爵位体系：公、侯、伯、子、男。到了东周列国，各国已经是各行其道，皆开始创造性的实行自己的爵位制度，如：“卿”、“大夫”、“士”等。
秦国商鞅变法开始，实行二十级军功爵位制度，自法家商鞅，秦国采用全民皆兵的管理体制，因此商鞅的二十级军功爵位制度，实际上是中国最古老的军衔制。
秦二十级军功爵位制度"从低到高"：1公士，2上造，3簪袅，4不更，5大夫，6官大夫，7公大夫，8公乘（成），9五大夫，10左庶（树）长，11右庶长，12左更，13中更，14右更，15少上造，16大上造，17驷车，18大庶长，19关内候，20彻候
秦以上爵位授予标准如下：
商鞅规定：秦国的士兵只要斩获敌人"甲士"(敌军的军官)一个首级，就可以获得一级爵位"公士"、获田一顷（相当于今天的99亩）。宅一处和仆人一个。斩杀的首级越多，获得的爵位就越高。证据是敌人的人头(首级)。就是说在战后，把敌人的人头砍下来，带回军营，作用证据。

如果一个士兵在战场上斩获两个敌人"甲士"首级，他做囚犯的父母就可以立即释放。如果他的妻子是奴隶，也可以转为平民。

杀敌人五个"甲士"可拥有五户人的仆人。

打一次胜仗，小官升一级。大官升三级。

俸禄,主要是以粮食粟（音速）米的记量单位是‘石'。秦1石=30.75公斤

爵位岁俸(石)，每年所得

1公士50； 2上造100； 3簪袅150 ； 4不更200； 5大夫250； 6官大夫300； 7公大夫350； 8公乘400； 9五大夫450； 10左庶长500； 11右庶长550； 12左更600； 13中更650； 14右更700； 15少上造750； 16大上造800；
17驷车850； 18大庶长900； 19关内候950； 20彻候1000

由于商鞅设立秦二十级军功爵位制度，刺激提高了秦军战斗力，因此列国称秦军为虎狼之师。

大秦赋中，文信侯吕不韦；长信侯嫪毐得封爵位均为最高级别—即彻侯。他们的年俸均为：30750公斤，因此得见，他们即便不得他人贿赂，养活家人和一批门客，还是绰绰有余的。

电视剧中，被渨阳君请来的赢姓宗祠的掌管者—关内侯，虽爵位不及吕不韦，但毕竟资历老，辈分高，应该是秦

Zoom is great, revolutionary, the game-changer in the pandemic driven software industry. The only flaw is that it's censored in China. Actually Zoom has even disabled free calls in China. In so many countries Zoom works so perfectly except in China. China has been the Achilles' Heel of Zoom, which is ironic because it's projected to be a Chinese software, at least some are saying that.

Amanda Gorman recited her poem at President Biden’s inauguration ceremony outside the U.S. Capitol. The 22-year-old is the first National Youth Poet Laureate and the youngest poet to read at a presidential inauguration.

Great idea, I'll dig into it. And thanks for committing this issue.
