The robot needs a speaker so it can yell "Parkour!" during each jump
When I was in China in 2019, the VPN built into google fi actually got me around the GFW with zero effort. I didn’t even realize it until I caught myself checking American social media unhindered.
My experience is most younger and tech savvy people have a VPN. It’s common / casual, like speeding your car by 10mph on the highway.
Most people are not persecuted for using a VPN, I assume that’s reserved for people who the government already wanted to persecute and just need to give an excuse for why they detained their target.
The reverse is true as well. I traveled in India with a friend from China who used their Chinese sim card in India, and their data was censored through the firewall. Really annoying to be outside China and not able to use Google maps.

Railscasts taught me so much when I was first learning web development right out of university. I used to watch Railscasts episodes religiously when they came out. I don't know if I would have grown as much as a developer without being exposed to the whole ecosystem of tools and techniques that Railscasts presented - I'd often discover libraries existed that solved problems I would never have known to seek out otherwise. Thank you for the time and effort over the years producing the episodes @rbates! Looking forward to hearing the full story in the next installments!
