Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.
Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.
I recently found out gluten was a source of trouble (probably coeliac but not confirmed just yet), so none anymore. However, for the first 30ish years of my life: cereal in a bowl with a spoon. Cinnamon Toast Crunch as an adult treat, other boring health cereals (some kinda bran thing, I think a Special K one at some point, etc.), and Alphabits a lot as a kid. Also sometimes Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and others depending upon what we could afford. I would just have some normal beverage alongside it but I don’t remember feeling particularly compelled to drink more.
No it isn’t; I do make soup out of my cereal like other weirdos.
I tried milk on cereal twice, puked both times. I just always ate dry cereal.
Assume that this is an apocalyptic Jew before rabbinic judaeism. That should frame thinks a bit better. The problem, at least as I understand it, is people doing commerce, particularly for a profit, in a sacred space. I do t think the money was the problem in and of itself, but rather the execution and motive. In another story, biblical Jesus tells someone of wealth and power that what he needs to do is give all of that up and he was quite miffed (in a very tldr telling)
For cases where it sounds like another letter, why not just use that one?
Which the other one? Within English itself, the same letter can be pronounced a number of ways. It’s like when people want to “fix” English spelling, they always assume it’s going to be their dialect that wins.
I’m hoping they sell the IP to someone who competent who will realse solid games and not cashgrab, but I think I’ll be dead before that day comes. I have zero plan to buy it when it comes out despite enjoying Skyrim and Oblivion
I had to Google as I thought this was another mmo from when I worked in the industry. I guess this means names are a bit generic (I got out of that industry in 2013). This is not one I’m familiar with. (I used to work on fan sites and tools to plot mob locations and quest items on maps and the like. Not the bad ones that had account/currency selling and such; we banned those people)
How do y’all have so many sock problems?! O.o
I don’t use a smartphone enough to worry about it. If I am using my phone, most of the time it’s either Anki, Google Maps, or, like you mention, banking/government stuff.
Texting via SMS (or whatever it is these days) isn’t really a thing in Japan, either, which makes things more difficult especially as I despise talking on the phone. If, for example, I’m at the supermarket and wife remembers something she needs, getting that message is good
I’d love to at some point but, last I heard, it breaks the felica and wallet integration which I need to do japanese government stuff (and use the train and such)
I was redhat/mandrake of which neither worked well on my PC, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and mint (playing with distros like LoaF at various points).
I got started on Linux at home from the valley of despair on early-2000s Gentoo. It wasn’t that bad, but I did have a lot more time on my hands being too poor to go out most of the time.
I just put mint on a laptop yesterday; got no time for it anymore
Yup! It’s dumb. Bonus one: one could get sued by posting on social media a pic/vid that shows someone cheating and they get caught. It’s profoundly stupid
In Japan, a person can get sued for leaving an honest, negative review. One has to be careful with wording to avoid that completely (i.e. making sure that it’s clearly stated that the content is a personal opinion (as opposed to an accusation, I guess?)). Some people still do write them and some get scary take-down notices (which may or may not be real or enforceable). As far as I know, someone could leave a low rating on like a star-based system or whatever and be fine, but I am not a lawyer.
My wife and I are almost 10 years apart. We met right before her 30th birthday, I was also once the younger partner when I was 20 and my then-gf was 34. That failed for a number of reasons, but I don’t think age was one of them. With legal, consenting adults, whatever works for you is fine, I think.
I worked at a site with a karma system years before reddit and the like ever came into being. There will always be people who just downvote anything they don’t like. Unless you start finding and removing those users, nothing is going to change with them. And if you start removing chunks of your community, you have fewer posters, less interaction, etc.
My company thankfully still employs simultaneous interpreters for meetings and has one translator on staff. I think, at least in part, because of how bad translation tools can be from EN <> JA.
I see dead people (because movies and such exist). In person, though, you’re right unless you’ve got a time machine hiding somewhere.
Both BYD and Tesla have announced humanoid robots for around $10k starting next year.
I can’t speak to BYD, but Tesla has claimed all kinds of things that never materialize or are not what they claimed to be.
That aside, I don’t think most people have $10k laying around. Most couldn’t even afford a $1k expense (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/saving-money-emergency-expenses-2025/), so I don’t think we’ll be seeing any widespread adoption at that price in the near future (which is what I took your comment to mean, but maybe that’s not what you meant).
For clarity, I’m not someone who’s just anti-AI, I’m just someone who thinks it’s way over-hyped, is being shoved in places it doesn’t need to be (especially in a half-baked state), is an environmental disaster, and has many other problems.
No, but rockets were a thing
