Another traveler of the wireways.

  • The future of the web may be relearning the browser (and other tools)

  • OP is scorpions

  • If I have it was so long ago I completely forgot, or may have been too young to remember.

  • The dryads have mixed opinions, but appreciate you transforming their losses into weaponry to avenge them.

  • The tricky part is, the group-supporting fediverse software and the microblogging software need to improve how they interact for this to be as good as it could be.

    Right now Mastodon barely supports group users/actors/accounts, however they're called, translating stuff from Lemmy's format in a rather clunky way. Meanwhile Lemmy also has to roughly translate Mastodon's format to its own, working pretty well all things considering, but leaving clear artifacts (subject line/first line repeating, community mention remaining shown, etc.).

  • It looks nice! I dig the reflections.

  • Even in a country where a culture of overwork permeates a wide range of businesses, the anime industry is notorious for the grueling hours that workers put in. Animators in their early 20s earn less than 2 million yen ($12,948) a year, according to industry data, compared with over 3 million yen for a person of a similar age living in Tokyo. That’s less than half of what US entry-level animators earn, websites like Glassdoor show. Creative workers also complain of late and uncertain payments.

    Some, though, sense change is afoot. A working group for the United Nations Human Rights Council last year called out Japan’s anime industry for its poor treatment of workers, along with cases of sexual violence and harassment in the country’s entertainment business. In a May report, the group referred to “excessively long working hours” and low pay, as well as a disregard for creative workers’ intellectual property rights.

    Talk about frustrating to infuriating. They need to unionize like hell, and if the government is genuinely looking at addressing this, this would be a good time to do so. A government aiming to save face may be more amenable to unionization efforts than at other times.

    Honestly pleasantly surprised to see encouraging worker activism towards the end of the article as well.

  • I haven't noticed any major issues with it in my usage, so...Maybe not? Could always give it a try and if it doesn't seem to work well, no worries switching back to your other launcher.

  • Small mountains but big accomplishment! Congrats on the piece!

  • What I miss from most communities are actual posts that invite interaction.

    What still confuses me a little are the posts that get upvoted and invite interaction but still end up without any comments. The upvotes indicate there's others presumably interested and yet no one else seems to know enough/have enough interest to comment. I get not knowing enough, so I hope it's more of that than a lack of interest, even if it's still disappointing.

    For posts that don't really request knowledge but opinions or advice, it's interesting to see them left alone when elsewhere you can see people more than willing to share their views.

  • I understand the sentiment, but your conclusion only reinforces Match Group's position. It overstates some real phenomena and makes people feel resigned to use their miserable services.

    Public spaces have been increasingly reduced but there are still community centers, libraries, parks, walking paths, and so on to simply be in.

    Those same spaces also tend to hold events for people to go out to that don't cost anything to attend. At the same time, there are also some private venues that allow others to make use of their space for events and meetings without charging anything, and buying things being a courtesy but not obligatory.

    With those offline events, you then have opportunities to meet people besides some bad apps. However even online you have plenty of opportunities to make connections with others outside of matchmaking apps that may lead to more. Neither way is as straightforward, but given the state of dating apps, it's better than acting like they aren't real options.

  • A part of the problem is that there are multiple similar general topic instances/sites to choose from. If there were more dissimilar, specific topic instances/sites it might help reduce the choice paralysis a little.

    It might even better help highlight the perks of federation, as it would be easier to be like, "See, even though you're on cuteanimalsposts, you can still check out and comment on stuff besides cute animals if you want."

  • It's arguably layers of this cover behavior, and mostly as you say because it's fun. The first layer, closer reading and fan theorizing, is covering why they're into children's media or some other media that isn't seen as fitting them.

    The second layer is entwined with the first, the fan theorizing is itself covering what some are too insecure to say or do outright, which is make fan fiction. Some may look down on making fan fiction in similar ways as they feel looked down on for what they're enjoying, making it somewhat ironic.

    In short, don't let your fan theories remain theories, make fan fiction and your own independent, inspired work!

  • You might find the game Gnosia interesting then. It's a visual novel with a hidden traitor mechanic mixed with a time loop, which is partly there to narratively explain how and why the hidden traitor changes each time.

  • Hey, good first attempt, especially for an hour session!

  • Always enjoy Technology Connections videos!

  • Image edit idea: swap out the word racism for bigotry, and switch "the n-word" to slurs. More fully describes the awful.
