  It's not more well known for now because the API and integration is still in alpha testing.

  The other thing about all this. I don't tend to "just" watch
  anime these days. I put anime on while I'm doing other
  things. But I can't read subs and do other things at the
  same time. The result of all that is mostly that I watch
  less anime than I used to. I spend more of my time
  watching St that is natively in English thatIcan most-
  listen-to and glance at every few minutes. (

  hey that's me too. i put up videos I'm slightly interested in to be noise and sometimes pay attention to, so it has to be English for me.

  it's basically tradition now for me to just watch anime subbed.

  so no anime in that role. besides I'd like to pay more attention to anime most of the time.

  I wish we could have gotten a sequel to the live action movie.

  I also need her balisong sword as a balisong knife replica.

  I confess that I don't have the money to frequently donate and fund the services that I use (if they allow to donate) and recognize long time ago ads would be an okay alternative. but like everyone said, ads just became a lot more cancerous and have to block it. despite the shortcomings of the FBI, even they advise to use adblockers.

  though I guess I just have to suck it up and donate once in a while as well.

  a nuclear passion. I like that. surprised I never came across this phrase before lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  but it's icky to say its name 🥺🥺🥺

  joking aside, I'd wager it's reddit

  i still have a 808 Pureview. needs a new battery but otherwise I could flash a CFW for it to keep using it as a point and shoot camera lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I was smart going back to a video that featured two USB C cable testers. I onky watched the video and didnt check or paid attention what the brand was.

  They are, in fact, these exact two brands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. Starting easy is fine. At least I now have a place to start from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don't see much from the comms I follow (and it's a lot thanks to piefed topics), and when I do browse all, if I find a post from a comm that allows them, I either ignore it or block the comm, for example a genAI art comms.

  Idk, lemmy, mbin, piefed, etc isn't reddit with algorithms so it's kind of on the user if they see a lot of it, IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of those use AI as a way to filter and group information

  Is there any resource I can read on or start from that's useful for the average person? Just pointers so I don't go on slop rabbit holes which I'm sure there are a lot of.

  such a bad moment to have eyes and can read

  It makes shareholders feel a simulacra of emotion for a brief moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh that's pretty neat. I'll have to see how to set up listenbrainz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah I knew of last.fm but haven't checked it out in years. Pretty sure I checked Spotify to scrobble to it.

  Have to see how to scrobble to last.fm when I cut out Spotify and idk play local music on my phone and computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bandcamp and SoundCloud does sound better for smaller artists as I understand. Alas I still listen to big artists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What's the difference between musicbrainz and listenbrainz?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely counts for me. I'm deep up to my eyes into vtubers and that's why I use YouTube for theor originals and covers. Some of the indie ones can't/ won't put their originals on Spotify or other major music platform and just YouTube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy a few if it comes my way but it's not really my wheelhouse. Thanks for the suggestion!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any suggestions?

  I'll be on Linux Soon™️ so I'll check that out when I cross the bridge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, will check it out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really should step into a library again. Last I went to one is during college 10 or more years ago lol.

  Good suggestion on local community radio. I'll have to see if there's one in my country/state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish the bigger international bands i listen to would come to my country often. But then it would cost a lot.

  But I get you though. I am friends with a weekend band that also has friends with other more "serious" underground bands. Been going to more and more gigs and helping out and actually discovered more songs and bands like this.

  DeX for Windows and Linux is gone as far as I understand. DeX is still available if you connect to a monitor though.

  I'm happy to be corrected though. I tried searching it since I recall seeing news of it. and my 5 minutes research did found out its discontinued for Windows and Linux as OneUI 7.

  Probably still do quite a lot. I still have my account there in case there are calls to promote the fediverse.

  They left Digg posts alone for now though. I know it's another boiling pot, dont have to remind me.

  Wear a big scarf ... for guys or girls ... a scarf comes in handy for all kinds of emergencies including using it as something to cover your mouth, dress a wound, tie something or cover something up.

  Everyone should look up what a shemagh is, and all multitude of uses it has. Pretty sure there are plenty of colors that aren't tacticool, which is inevitable when you search for it. If it works for the grunts the US sent to the Middle East, and actual Middle Eastern cultures, it'll work for you. Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy describes how useful it is to carry a towel across the galaxy; this is it.
