  • People always think of Japan and their poor salarypeople, sleeping in the train, missing their stop, and have to be waken up later and hope they aren’t on the last train. How sad it is that they have to work so late till night to take a late night train home.

    What they didn’t think of is that they have a train to sleep in. Not putting aside the sometimes brutal work culture in Japan, but a lot of people can sleep on their way to work and back. Not us.

    Had a terrible night and lack sleep? Drive to work. Kids throwing a hissy fit and you’re exhausted dealing with em? Drive em to school. Had a busy or terrible day at work? Drive back home.




  • I’m one of those people done in by the minio rugpull. I see RustFS there, but they’re done a lot of things on their licensing front incredibly similarly to what minio did. And that scares me.

    I also saw a Github issue where someone was asking what’s their say on whether they’ll ever pull a minio, and their answer was basically, “We don’t plan to. Just trust us bro.”

    I know what I’m not using.




  • Having the fire dept fight against bike lanes and all that is also a problem in Ontario. And they say the exact same things too. It’s insane that they can say such cognitively dissonant things; the damn traffic jam is gonna cost people’s lives too if they’re stuck in traffic, and what the fuck is their argument for that?

    If they argue that their fat ass vehicles can’t get into small spaces, tell them to fucking stop buying these shit from the US and look at how other countries run their show; get smaller vehicles and drive more vehicles out when needed, and not haul every tool under the sun for every emergency. And heck! Protection for bike lanes is generally nothing to their giant ass vehicles anyways!

    And they need to also stop with the baseless mindset of “hurdurr we’re different from other countries” and start understanding what that difference is and why they’re there, and see that we’re really not that different aside from how we’ve decided to fucking infest everyone’s lives with cars.

    Let the cities do things to get as many cars off the streets, and emergency services would then have less cars to deal with. If that doesn’t sound reasonable to them, tell them they are part of their problems aside from being everyone else’s.

  • So it sounds like you want to keep using Quillpad, and so you’re stuck with the folder structure, which is no subfolders, that Quillpad implicitly requires.

    It kinda sounds like you need some way to “tag” your notes so that whatever application you’re using would pick those up and be able to give you all notes with a particular “tag” in a view.

    If that’s the case, Obsidian can do that. You can keep the current folder structure (of just being a flat folder), and add tags to your notes (e.g. #my_tag). Then, instead of using the default file viewer, you’d look at files via tags. The only problem, though, is I’m not sure if there’s a particular view that can do that.

    And no, Vim wouldn’t do what you want either, at least OOTB, cause it’s just an editor and not a file organizer or indexer. Pretty sure that applies to Emacs as well. You’d need some plugin that would do that, and I don’t think I’ve heard of one that would do this.

    Just to add to the many answers we already have here, if not summarize a little bit.

    Anime in general English parlance refers to Japanese animation, though in recent years, it has slowly changed from the product of a country to a style that refers to the popular animation style produced in Japan. It’s why we’re hearing phrases like “anime-styled” becoming more and more often.

    A number of well-known / popular games playable in the English-speaking world these days, with anime-styled characters, aren’t from Japan, Genshin being one of the prime examples, from China, and there’s those like Blue Archive, from South Korea (though iirc they get a mix of South Koreans and Japanese illustrators for their assets). Japanese pop culture has had a strong influence on many Chinese and South Korean youths over long enough to result in the creation of companies specialized in making anime-styled games and even the “anime” we know of (some people have mentioned a few in other comments). A lot of the times though, these anime don’t really get as much attention from English audiences, unless you’re in a circle who’s attentive to that side of the market.

    That said though, I’ve had people argue with me over the definitely of “anime” itself, saying that it should just be “animation”. To those, they aren’t wrong if they look simply at etymology and not what’s evocated in anime-watchers’ minds at the mention of anime. To be fair though, the line does start to get murky. I mean, take a look at this list I just looked up: https://whatnerd.com/best-non-japanese-anime-series/.

    It’s IMO from here, but Japanese anime has a few distinctive features: generally heavier use of detailed backgrounds, and scenes that prioritizes raw art prowess over animation techniques. There’s also the fact that voice acting is just a huge scene in Japan, and so there’s a lot of good talent that comes up, whereas everywhere else, the scene is rather limited. Underlying the success of anime is manga and (light) novels, which is also a really active industry in Japan. Comics are just quite limited elsewhere.
