Red hat because they are more or less becoming anti open source. Unbuntu because it’s cool to hate.

My favorite Deltarune boss!

The Island and Chicken Run crossover nobody asked for!

As someone who reads Japanese, reading all kana can be slow because you are reading one syllable at a time. It makes going back to old video games and reading children’s media tedious.

Once you know enough kanji though, you can read incredibly fast. Depending on the material, I can speedread faster in Japanese than I can in English.

This is because kanji is meant to be recognized at a glance rather than read in your head. The kana in Japanese sentence is supposed to provide grammatical context. So instead of reading “Inu ga ie ni nemashita” in my head, I’m seeing “Dog, in house, slept” from a glance.

So the downside to this system is that you’re spending most of your education learning every character you’ll need, but the upside is it can make reading very efficient once you have got it down. I think it’s part of the reason Japan still has a pretty robust book culture.

So that’s where we get TV “southern” from…

Are you an economically up and coming country and also hate ｔｈｅ ｗｅｓｔ?

Found the Canadian

Here’s a rough C° primer for Americans

0° or below, fucking cold

1° - 10° cold

11° - 20° cool

21° - 30° warm

31° - 40° hot

41° or above - Jesus Christ I’m on fire!

As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.

Gaaawwwd! >_<

I really want to like it too. The UI experience on kbin has been good enough that I have stuck around despite the issues. Plus I like the culture of the site and the users I share it with. It would be a shame to leave it.

But this glitch in particular has really hampered it’s usability for me, and has me thinking if I should have my primary account elsewhere until thinks get more reliable there.

Commenting has been fine, but posting threads on the otherhand has been broken for me over the past 24 hours, and its affecting some other users as well, though it might not be affecting everyone.

What happens is I’ll post a thread or a photo in a community, and get this error message. I refresh, the post appears in my profile, but not in the community I posted in. I’ll get some other weird glitches too, like after some time passes, it becomes visible to others, I’ll get replies in the thread, but won’t be able to see them or reply, and so on.

I’ve encountered bugs on kbin before, but this one has been the most devistating cause it affects my ability to even post content. Before I would only get this error when upvoting on some threads, or when I tried to block a spammer.

Honestly, I would rather Lemmy attract its own community naturally rather than it be the place all redditors pipe into. I think most people who have already come from there can agree the culture is not really conductive to quality discussion, and we’ve started to see some of that leak into Lemmy as well.

Rather than just copy/paste reddit’s users and culture, we should try to develop both on their own. Create an environment that users want to spend their time on. Then through word of mouth on other platforms they entice people here. I don’t think just being the place redditors flood after every fuckup is healthy for the growth of the platform. As a Mastodon user, I’m kinda glad it isn’t the primary platform Twitter refugees are flocking to.

I honestly prefer fediverse remain as that complex open source alt, because it’s one of the few filters we have for users here.

I honestly don’t believe rapid growth is healthy for any platform, and we’ve even seen it here with how comments and memes are getting increasingly vitriolic and offensive. Fuck, antivax memes are starting to appear on lemmy.ml’s meme community.

I’m starting to think Beehaw had the right idea with vetting users, because there people here who think Lemmy should be another 4chan.

Have we?

What have you done!?

Meant it to be more of an all out brawl of the different groups, but realized it looks like people are cheering on the libertarian after it was too late. Oh well, at the very least I think it also shows Lemmy’s general disdain for tankies.

Idk, some people love a safari.

Perfectly acceptable for beginners to write in kana. Many of my students here primarily write in kana until up to 6th grade.

試験を合格しておめでとうございます!🎉N４に頑張って!

Make a joke about the British, they’re like “Yeah we do drink a lot of tea did a lot of imperialism, and our food sucks”

Make a joke about the French, and they’re like “ho ho, we are rude and love wine non?”

Make a joke about the Italians, and they’re like “Ay, we do love a pizza, and can’t fight a war!”

Make a joke about Americans, and there’s always the “WHY DO YOU GUYS MAKE FUN OF US! NO FAIR! WHY DO PEOPLE THINK ITS FUNNY TO HATE US?!?”
