I'm a weeb girl who's fringe in a lot of ways. Please excuse my weird beliefs, I don't bite :3
Political views: far left economics (socialism), conservative/traditional social views. I'm an ex-atheist, turned christian gnostic. I'm happy to chat. No hate, just pursuit of truth and proper living.
Hobbies/Interests: weebshit (anime/manga/japan), video games, romhacking, ai/tech, girly cute pink stuff, politics/religion is fun. I like the occult and conspiracy stuff too.
They did, albeit indirectly. It seems the answer is "no one has done this" which means it's likely not possible with the software that's currently made lol.
Seems most people just go through plex/jellyfin/emby with their usenet *arr setup. Which is no doubt cozy, but it doesn't quite grant the experience I'm after lol. I think most people are just used to launching into a streaming app to see what's on there since that's how most paid streaming stuff works too for the most part. The google tv/amazon fire tv homescreen setup is fairly new and apparently unused by basically everyone lol.
I might have to look into just coding my own launcher to get the features I want lmao. seems like a huge endeavor though. Right now I just have my remote set to be able to instantly jump into my preferred streaming apps, and single/double press home to switch between stock launcher and projectivy. It's not great lol.
Ah, this is what my brother is doing I think. I used to be into kodi but it's so clunky. The plex+*arr stack seems cozy for delayed streaming (mark what to watch, watch it later) but does it end up working for streaming? I was also under the impression it's not that great if you lack usenet?
Does it do recommendations? Every time I've tried getting into kodi it was pretty clunky/slow/etc. Hence my desire to get my setup on home screen then launch directly into a stream. Kinda sounds like everyone just launches into an app first.
I have a roku tv and it's kinda the reason I ended up buying a chromecast. Other than paid apps and plex it seems entirely useless for convenient piracy streaming. It also doesn't pull anything into the home menu, and sticks to app launching. Not really great.
Plex is nice but I haven't leaned into it entirely yet. I'm not sure it can end up replicating the streaming experience? But it's nice as a media server.
here's the extension repo that the mihon devs use. It's just a straight reupload of the original extensions list, and that's where the community is centered around at this point.
The original tachiyomi also used apk extensions, it's just that the original list was baked into the app.
I'd take it immediately. Whether it rolls back time as well, or just my physical/biological age, having that reset is good. For time, it lets me be able to jump on financial trends before they happen such as bitcoin. Also lets me redo some stuff I fucked up. For biological age it's just regaining my youth and let's me get on HRT earlier than I did which would've been beneficial. I kinda threw away the past 15 years, so having a redo would be nice.
I'm paranoid.
I haven't had any issues with medium personally. But I have pretty extensive blocking as a whole (ublock, adguard, ghostery, ddg, bypass paywalls clean, canvas blocker, etc)
I use bypass paywalls clean and never see a paywall. so... yes.
it's more than a filterlist, also custom code (though the repo you shared has the userscripts that you can install).
I've been using bypass paywalls clean for a while now and it's fantastic. Can confirm I haven't seen any paywalls since installing it.
Sonic is basically what got me invested in voice actor swaps lol. I literally can't stand some of the voice actor swaps in that series because they just sound so drastically different and wrong.
Voice issues happen a lot with anime too when it gets dubbed. Rarely will the dub be better, but there's some iconic dubs like the pokemon cast, or haruhi. With the yuki-chan spin-off series of haruhi, I was really concerned they'd get different VAs and it'd be ruined as a result, but fortunately they had brought back the entire original cast.
I'm pretty picky about voices of iconic characters, but the new guy doing Mario and Luigi is solid. He sounds just like them to me, so no problem.
For scientific studies you're basically stuck with scihub and unpaywall.
Yeah those sorts of positions are usually locked to college students. So once you graduate you can no longer apply despite those being the positions you're qualified for.
yeah learned my lesson. I might try again though and just lie and say I'm latina when I'm not. maybe I'll start getting some offers that way lol.
yeah sorry I don't have that sort of mental health to be able to just continually throw myself at a wall for years on end when there ain't even a person on the other side.
If they're amab and self identifying as nonbinary, they'd be transgender by definition.
How do you distinguish between the people who genuinely identify as nonbinary and those who are dishonestly doing it?
I'm a woman and wasn't even at the event. No clue it was going on, and it seems like it'd be far too expensive for me to attend in the first place. If they're looking for women who are eager to work for them, they're looking in the wrong place.
>hiring for entry level
>saying people are underqualified
The problem is with the companies, not the job seekers. Actually offer true entry level positions, and actually hire the people that apply.
Nearly thirty years after the console's initial release, the Casio Loopy finally has a complete and verified romset! If you've never heard of the system before, the Casio Loopy was a 32-bit home console geared towards young girls, released in Japan in 1995. It featured a Hitachi SuperH SH7021 CPU
This means that there's now a full verified romset available. Very exciting stuff :)
Seizing/Claiming inactive magazines?
So most of us "old timers" now have been on kbin for almost a month (or more), and kbin has been around for longer. And.... we've started to have an issue and I'm not sure if y'all have noticed: early on some people went around to claim some magazines either with the intent to pass it off later, or simply to squat and ideally build it up. But the end result was: the person who made the magazine stopped using kbin, or hasn't been active in weeks at the least.
Given this, many "big" or "good name" magazines are now squatted with no actual moderation. Of course it's possible to just make a new magazine with a similar name, but that's not always great/ideal. Reddit has a system for dealing with this: a subreddit in which you can request a subreddit to be "seized" if the owner is inactive for a length of time and it ends up unmoderated. That way, dead/inactive subs held by inactive accounts can be repurposed either to revitalize the moderation, or to rebrand the content into something more popular.
Personally I have run into this issue on kbin. Namely with the /m/Sanrio magazine. @Sanrio is the full name. The issue? I'm really the only active user posting in there, and it appears I've been added as a moderator. However, both the users above me in the mod list have been inactive for 3 weeks. And I do not have access to the mod controls of the magazine. It appears that kbin lacks any sort of way to properly seize the magazine so that it may be properly moderated in the future.
So it ends up being the case that either: I start a new sanrio magazine and just start over with a less impactful name. Or I continue posting in this sanrio magazine, and just hope that my limited mod abilities are good enough to moderate any issues (I haven't checked removing posts yet). Not a good solution in either case.
I know quite a "short impactful name" magazines are this same way. Seized early on, then the user stopped posting on kbin and are inactive. I think most of the 'land grabbing' has now been done as everyone has settled in, but the "ruins" remain.
Can we get a system in place to properly reallocate magazines to more active users? I feel like bugging ernest about this every single time will just lead to larger backlogs and a waste of his time (as I've stumbled upon dozens of these at least).
An automated solution could be: if a magazine has not had any posts despite being created weeks ago, then auto-delete it. If a magazine's owner has not posted for weeks/months, then allow the magazine to be "claimed" by someone who is more active; perhaps someone who has frequently posted in the magazine?
Example:
Magazine created 3 weeks ago, by an account that last posted 3 weeks ago. It has no posts. -\> auto delete the magazine.
Magazine created 3 weeks ago, by an account that last posted 3 weeks ago. It has recent posts. -\> allow top 10% of posters to "claim" the magazine and become the owner.
Magazine created 3 weeks ago, by an account that last posted 3 weeks ago. It has posts, but all 3 weeks ago. -\> allow anyone to claim it.
Magazine created any time, by an account still active and posting within the week. -\> don't allow any seizing/claiming of magazine.
These numbers are just randomly picked, naturally they can be whatever ernest and the community feels are best. The idea here simply being that dead magazines by inactive accounts don't sit as dead/inactive, but rather can be claimed again and revitalized. Also, it goes without saying but magazines from other instances shouldn't be effected by this (let them manage things themselves).
Thoughts? I just find it annoying that many magazines that would otherwise be attracting users end up unmoderated due to the influx of users a few weeks ago who claimed them and then left. Finding dead magazines that are forever unmoderated is worse than them not existing imo. Yeah?

This one looks super good. Though as with most voltage games it seems like this one is unvoiced? Will probably pick it up anyway sooner or later.
DM message length limits?
I've been privately DMing some other kbin users for a while now and I've run into a recurring issue: once the conversations and responses get lengthy, there's a hard length cap in terms of character count. Namely 5000 characters. Some of our messages end up around 20k characters in length, trying to quote and address each part of the previous message.
What ends up happening is that we then break the message into "parts". Message 5k of the message in part one, then another 5k characters in part 2, then another in part 3, etc. the message in the dm then shows up in reverse order, making it a little bit of a pain to read.
I understand the need for a length limit in public threads and in public comments; since such things are often brief (and longer threads can simply link to something like pastebin). However, in a DM you can't really rely on 3rd party site to host the text.
Is this a limit/constraint with activitypub itself? or is it uniquely kbin? If the former, could we get kbin to auto-split dm messages into multiple parts, then restitch them inside the kbin dm ui?
If you've ever had a long-form discussion on twitter, or wanted to say something more than 280 characters, you know how it is. you get (1/6), (2/6), (3/6), etc. super annoying. And for a private chat the limit seems arbitrary.
