@andyy Indeed, it seems it goes out to Pixel devices next week 😁
For some unexplainable reason current Pixel devices can't make use of 5G with just some ISP in Spain with Android 14, but seems to work with Android 15 beta.
I recently switched providers losing 5G in the process. Nonsense.
#Android 15 is out but my Pixel 7 hasn't yet received the update.
Any information on timelines?
EDIT: It seems Pixel devices will get Android 15 on October 15.
🏢 I don't often go to the office. When I do, I use the subway and I always encounter at least one person who enters the train before letting people leave it 😠 🚇

@vetehinen Right, I haven't met that person in a face to face but now that you mentioned a few months back I saw them in another meeting.
With the Vision Pro they look way younger!
First time I see someone using an Apple Vision Pro during a Teams meeting.
Impressive but looks creepy.

Today I used GitHub Copilot to write groundbreaking code to comply with the project's naming convention:
"const myCamelCasedVariable = true"
I highlighted the variable name and told it to: "capitalize and underscore" and in less than a second it generated:
"const MY_CAMEL_CASED_VARIABLE = true"

@sophie One of my life's fear when I wear bluetooth headphones on the street 😔
⚾ I would love to see the new automated ball-strike (ABS) system in action in 2025. To see how this more fair calls change the game.
I've read somewhere it's not clear if it will be ready for the #MLB in '25 or if it will get pushed back to 2026.
@waffles What's better, taking Mondays off or Fridays? :blobfoxthinkanime:

@gneilyo I just switched from Firefox to Vivaldi. So far so good.
@scribbbleanime I love the last part @myska
"[...] I am a bit skeptical about the whole thing."
Then: "8/10" 😁
I'd say it comes very well recommended!
Installing Vivaldi browser, so far importing from Firefox has been easy.
Partner Bookmarks and Speed Dials
When you click on our partners bookmarks and Speed Dials and make a purchase, this can result in Vivaldi earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
@jonpsp Brave seems like a big no-no after that crypto scandal back then.
Vivaldi looks very good.

How do they make money, though? 🤔 Can't find that info on their website

@denschub I did play with GitHub projects (kanban, issues, etc) for personal stuff.
In the end it was too much 😅
@ayo Could be, too bad this dude will always look like Joffrey Baratheon to me.
@book :blobcatgiggle: Yes, indeed!
Re-watching "Batman Begins" and I now realize we see in it one of the most despicable characters from Game of Thrones as an innocent young kid.
Joffrey Baratheon!
@book Argh! 🤦♂️ 🇰🇷
Indeed a waste of resources 🤷
@faisal I would hope not. I did my best to express my dissatisfaction towards the whole process.
The agent signed off with a smile:
"Thank you for contacting us, have a great day!"
Sure, for one euro it's not about the money. But it leaves a bad aftertaste when they would prefer to spend more in transport and processing than simply refunding me 1€.
In the past they gave me a book for free (like 8€) when I wanted to return it when I purchased in the wrong language.
Amazon seems to have changed their policy 📝
I bought an SD card the other day, I picked it up today 📦
The price has dropped -1€ just as I went to pick it up.
Contacted Amazon to ask for a price match refund.
Amazon said no, I need to return it and order it again 😮
They are willing to do the whole return and ship it again (Amazon Prime) for 1€ difference 😲
This is nuts. In the past they did refund me the price difference when this happened 🤷♂️
I suppose my time is not worth 1€.
@scribbbleanime It's a nightmare (in a good way).
You're going to certain place for whatever reason but you get sidetracked for other things you find along the way, this game is madness 😂
@hdv Yeah, read that. Thanks
The thing is I was trying to get rid of some JS from my custom tooltip implementation by using this new API, not add more JS to calculate the position 😁
👨💻 Was excited to try and implemented the new and shiny Popover API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Popover_API
When I couldn't position it relative to my parent element I came across this post from @hdv 👀
https://hidde.blog/positioning-anchored-popovers/
Which very well explains we can't use Popovers as tooltips for now without JS :blobcat_sadlife:
We need to wait until we have Anchor Positioning in CSS in all browsers https://caniuse.com/css-anchor-positioning
I'm very disappointed 😞

If they have tried Linux or MacOS and they have gone back to Windows, I'm intrigued to know why.

I'm three episodes in, so far it has my interest. Let's see where it goes from here. It's never easy doing a good sci-fi series.
@vetehinen I think you're right to be skeptical, we should be. Let's see.
@xabacadabra Thanks, Xab. That's what I do in the moment but I would love to not get sucked into those platforms. The darn algorithm.

@vincent Thank you for the updates, Vincent!
I can't wait to see you do your magic so we can follow any Instagram account.
@BeAware Dissapointed. Thank you for the lengthy update.
I guess I should have known better they would never let us consume their content for free.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fediverse. I dropped my X accounts and moved to my own Mastodon instance.
However, I do miss content. Especially baseball. I would love to get Threads so maybe the Instagram users I want to follow, I could read here.
I would love to drop Instagram too, but I don't want to miss that content.
What's the status of Threads federating? :mastodon:
Haven't read from this for a few months 🤔
Is it still opt-in for them? Meaning, we'll probably never be able to follow those unaware of the switch?

@talksina What I love about the Markdown files is that I don't need to worry about ever exporting in a different format. Surely you can export with WordPress but it would be an extra step, and not as clean as Markdown.
Having to keep both up to date it would be even more hassle for me. I have sites with just WordPress and others with just Markdown 😊
@talksina Do you keep the text files after you publish to WordPress?
@jimniels Looks very tasty, Jim!
I like #blogging with just text files (markdown) for all the reasons (portability, no backend dependency...) but at the same time #WordPress makes it so effortless. One click publish 💜

🆕 Anime Review
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc
With an overrated score of 8/10 on MyAnimeList this season of Kimetsu no Yaiba is the weakest we’ve seen so far. Despite what the fanboys and fangirls tell you, the episodes are boring and this could have been easily cut in half...
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-hashira-training-arc/
@mxbck 😂 Fantastic!
@mxbck every time I see these cool fonts I'm like "I should change my blog's font, again"
The font looks great!
@scribbbleanime some people are very bored and unhappy. Ignoring seems to make the trick with them.
Not surprised.

Ayoama is a piece of shit, and his parents are even worse. Not knowing what’s right and wrong, how much suffering have all three triggered. Despicable.

With such short seasons not much happened in this one, which is a shame. I did like Tomioka's backstory with Sabito.

@scribbbleanime It's very hard to find good content out there. Most of the time I enjoy way more amateur write-ups like yours than paid content creators.
@scribbbleanime Kinda envious of your thunderstorm, and wouldn't mind some rain to cool off a bit. It has come the time to sleep with the fan on most of the night.
@scribbbleanime It's not an everyday thing but it's very good. I mean, deep-frying stuff it almost guarantees tastiness :blobcatgiggle:

I never understood posting on Medium. Own a blog already.
Once I even challenged someone who had a personal blog and would duplicate their content, posting in their blog and medium 🤷 Their answer was they had better reach on Medium.
Have you ever tried the Korean drink Makgeolli? 🇰🇷 🍶
Sparkling rice wine, low alcohol level with a very unique taste.
Accompaning my Korean dumplings, I'm having a sip of it 😊
This is great!
Had a nice greasy Venezuelan empanada filled with "carne mechada", like pulled beef 🇻🇪

This has to be one of the most unexpected anime of this season. A very solid 4-star anime that should not be overlooked if you’re into action shounen.

Like this one from 2023 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/27377 that has never been promoted to a public release. I don't understand.

@myska Hey, I came back yesterday. I was at an event with 0 energy to blog or social media, I'll post some pictures soon.
The experience was overall nice but Athens can be checked off my list. I think if I go back to Greece it will be to visit the small islands.
I used the bus and metro, quite the experience! Google Maps worked very nicely even if the buses were in bad shape.
Thank you for the recommendations nonetheless.
@scribbbleanime Was not bad but not great. I specifically told them "no cheese please"

Finally got to see Suou fight, he was toying with the opponent.
I was about to say "too much dialog" but they fixed it with some better animated scenes towards the end.
@yaoifest Indeed! Overall enjoyable, right? 😊
@yaoifest I have watched the 1st season of the anime
I haven't watched the 2nd because there's a big skip on the story.
First season was good. I recommend both, reading the manga seems like the 1st season is quite loyal to the source material.
@yellowjitsch It's not groundbreaking by any means.
I think it just has all the ingredients to make it enjoyable. The animation is very nice, with modern art, and hero-type characters (protecting the neighborhood)... but not much more.
@ayo Hopefully it will exit peacefully... 💩

Thankfully for my single-user instance, the costs are non-existent as I reuse the VPS I already had.
Any reliable service to follow birdsite (X) accounts from the Fediverse?
I've tried bird.makeup and sportsbots.xyz but doesn't seem to work well for all accounts, just some.
I baseball content on the Fediverse.

"They don't pay me enough to deal with this"
So I guess it's a matter of balance 😁
@scribbbleanime What I saw is that I only have the character slots that come original, less than 5 or something
Wanted to buy more but it's was an insane amount of gems just to get character slots. What? 😂
@scribbbleanime The mounts I got, very cool addition. The rest of the stuff you said doesn't ring a bell. I wasn't very hardcore player.
@scribbbleanime I played both, it has been years since I played GW2 but wanted to get back into it. I read they are working on GW3. GW2 feels very old in 2024.

Here's my long take on this movie, watching while I was in Japan 🇯🇵
Yes, it was bad.
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/haikyu-movie-battle-garbage-dump/
@myska Interesting! I feel we have too many "regular" anime with the classic main character getting stronger and whatnot. I don't want Solo Leveling to be that. I want to see something different, that's why I mentioned the "removal" of characters. Something we don't see in every anime.
Jujutsu Kaisen has very polarized reviews, even if some don't like it I think we can both agree the author is quite brave story-wise.
Thank you for the healthy conversation!
@sophie It's so sad 😢 I thought Mastodon or better said, the Fediverse, was way more mature (compared to the bird site and other social networks).
Luckily for me, the interactions I've had so far here have been (compared to ther places) all much more interesting and polite. Even when we disagree.

🇯🇵 📺 Kaiju No. 8 1x3

Quite a disappointing episode. I kept waiting and hoping he would use somewhat his new power. He didn't. It was boring. We already knew he was not fit for this, he failed multiple times before, and now he's even older.
It was not even funny but sad to see him fail so miserably.
The new woman character is also very annoying.
His childhood friend is not impressed, neither are we.

#RedSox :boston_redsox:
@scribbbleanime Haven't started it yet. Good so far?
⚾ 🧢 Watching live the #RedSox :boston_redsox: take on the #Pirates
More injuries, but let's see if we can take the series sweep 🧹
@chiasm I would have preferred to have a sunny day with blue sky, but wasn't meant to be this time.
I guess I should be greatful I could snap that at least 😅
Thank you, chiasm!
Some more photos from my #Japan2024 🇯🇵 trip.
I've written some thoughts to sum up the trip.
Long story short: Even though it wasn't as great as the 2023 trip... Yes, I'll be back to Japan at some point 🥰
📚 🇯🇵 Is #KyokutoNecromance the new #Bleach?
A #Manga from Fusai Naba.
The drawing style for the monsters look very similar 🤔
Read the first chapter and did not fall in love with it

@scribbbleanime It was 🤤
🍕 Had one of my favourite pizza in Barcelona tonight. NYC style, as the restaurant puts it 😁
Pepperoni, jalapeño, black olives and honey. It just works 🤤

🏸 Finally back to badminton practice after so many weeks ❤️
Not that I can complain as I was in Japan 😂🇯🇵
I brought back a Yonex (Japanese badminton brand) sport t-shirt that has written "Japan" on the back 👕

@scribbbleanime Poor dude! The kids are giving him stomach acid. Kindergarten indeed sometimes.
re: 🇯🇵 📺 Wind Breaker 1x2
@scribbbleanime The first interaction at the bar was gold. When mentioning the hair color: "Is it stress, right?" 😂
@Galley So cool, and cheap!
:boston_redsox: 🎙️ Section 10 Podcast Episode 462
"Red Sox Leading The League In Errors"
The #RedSox are in last place but the show is still entertaining 😁
🇯🇵 📺 Wind Breaker 1x3
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Somewhat disappointed with the short fight between Sakura and Sugishita. It felt a little cheaply animated.
The rest of the episode was ok, Nirei getting a panic attack but all good 😂
@shadow No worries.
Just Spanish and Catalan as far as I know, for this hard cover version.
🇯🇵 📺 Wind Breaker 1x2
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Feeling identified with Sakura! 😅 The new character Nirei is too much 😂
Very loyal to the manga so far, no fights in this one. Let's see how they animate the following episodes.
@shadow Catalan is a language 😁
I did read the ending of the series, somewhat diagonally when it aired. I recognize this is one of the top stories in these past years. Might be worth exploring more slowly through the manga.
This collectors edition looks very well done, I might pull the trigger soon.
Thank you for the recommendation!
@Galley That's awesome, do you usually go to the park?
Are the tickets cheap?
@scribbbleanime Episode 2/3? Haven't watched those. I need to catch up.
📚 🇯🇵 There's a new Catalan collectors edition of #AttackOnTitan
😮 Looks really good. I do not own any #ShingekiNoKyojin manga
:blobfoxthinkanime: Should I consider buying it?
❌ I never finished the anime, but I liked a lot the first part of the story.
Your thoughts?
@myska @scribbbleanime Yep, the posts do not come with you if you migrate to another server/instance.
You do keep the followers and following, though.
@scribbbleanime Not red, though :blobcatgiggle: :boston_redsox:

⚾ 🧢 What an impressive performance by Tanner Houck last night #RedSox :boston_redsox:
I don't recall the last time I saw a game where a pitcher threw it completely. So, cool!
⚾ 🧢 Gets me a smile when the catcher not only helps the pitchers during the game but goes deep with a home run to take the lead. Way to go, Connor Wong.
Watching, after the fact, in a second monitor the game from last night #RedSox :boston_redsox:

@anianimalsmoe @itaakesama People say "student life is the best".

@itaakesama I never did these when I was studying back then.
Do they usually work out, or are they always 15 min? 😁
@scribbbleanime thank you, Bloop 😊
Now I need to try and catch up with all the anime and manga I've missed 😂
@ocdtrekkie @Edent True, the smartwatch is a close cousin.
I guess what we want is an Apple Vision Pro but in regular glasses 😁
@Edent Totally! I never had the chance to try Google Glass but I thought it was groundbreaking.
Looking forward how this tech evolves in different hands.
Jet lag is still hitting me, after being 3 weeks in Japan ⛩️
Yesterday woke up at 4AM, today 5AM 😪
I might need two more days to go back to Barcelona's timezone 😁 ⏰
✈️ It's interesting how easy it is to fallback to home time (flying West). When I fly East to Japan 🇯🇵 or South Korea 🇰🇷 it takes me way longer and hits me way harder 🤔
@bamboombibbitybop Right! More if you hate what you're doing. I would also quit even if that means taking a pay cut in the next job.
Good luck 🤞
@myska looks awesome!
⚾🧢 Embarrassing fielding by the #RedSox :boston_redsox: and we're 4 down this inning against the #Guardians
@waffles Thanks, doesn't seem has an easy way to browse through them. Like swipping horizontally.
Elk seems more focused on Home timeline.
@waffles How does Elk handle lists?
On Desktop I use the out of the box advanced view with 10 columns.
Currently have the same view on Mobile but wondering if there's something better out there.
@scribbbleanime fanservice, much? 🍈 🍈 :blobcateyes:
📚 🇯🇵 There's a new manga out from the creator of #TokyoRevengers Ken Wakui.
"Astro Royale"
Started the first chapter but I find the art style so similar to Tokyo Revengers it's even distracting 😅
@myska Thank you! There were some cold rainy days that were harder to enjoy, but I'm glad I took the trip! 🇯🇵
📍 Barcelona
Made it back home. 14-hour flight from Seoul was very long.
Happy to be back. Family, friends, and my cat 😺
@scribbbleanime it was very good but I was expecting Korean restaurant 😂

Good morning! Watching the #RedSox for a few innings before going to the airport
I fly to Barcelona in a few hours and the #Japan2024 🇯🇵 comes to an end.

During this #Japan2024 🇯🇵 trip the hotel's internet speed has not been great overall.
I think there was just one hotel in which was decent enough to stream video fast and with high quality, the rest have been awful 🐌
Has not been easy watching the #RedSox :boston_redsox:
I miss my home's fiber connection 😁

@scribbbleanime we need names 😁
@chiasm Was the anime loyal to the manga?
@chiasm Don't blame the player 😂
This could have been a closed story in one season but since it has been liked so much, pretty sure they'll do another one. I just hope they don't stretch it unnecessary.
Reading this it seems the anime stopped at volume 8 (out of 12) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Frieren_chapters
I might start the manga to know more 🤔
@chiasm I could tell it's a very different show, very deep. But it left me wanting so much more, I really thought we would get to the final destination in this first season.
📺 🇯🇵 "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" feels very overrated.
I just finished the season and where are the rest of the episodes? 😅 Like, how come it ends like this?
I need to write a longer review, might wait until I'm back from Japan, though.
@chiasm Thank you for reading!

Something I'll miss from Japan is the convenience stores 🇯🇵
They are... well... very convenient. Plus, they're everywhere 🏪
We do have some similar stores in Barcelona but 24 hours just a handful. With the extra pain that usually are more expensive than a regular supermarket 💰
Do you have these in your area?
#Japan2024 🇯🇵
Day 18 #Japan2024 🇯🇵
Very hot day, spent half of it in a small town west of Osaka. Had an early dinner in Osaka before heading back to Kyoto.

@nanikamono @mofumofu Question also is... can they keep this animation up? Or have they burned the budget already in episode 1? 😅
@nanikamono @mofumofu I was expecting way less, I've found the fights to be good. Didn't bother me at all 🙃
Doing the laundry, I should be set until I fly back home by the end of next week.
Machines in the hotel, rather cheap. I appreciate it.

As a manga reader I thought the first episode was very well animated. The rock-style music (Red Hot Chili Peppers much?) was very well placed in the fight scenes.
Voice acting was interesting and seems 100% loyal to the manga.
Your thoughts?
@scribbbleanime Odd Taxi was certainly unique! 😂
@scribbbleanime yeah I have been pushing it down the list but it got recommended to me again so I had to give it a go.
I'm on episode 14 and I don't know it justifies de 9/10 on MAL. It's good but not that good.
Day 15 of the #Japan2024 🇯🇵
Here's today's dose of cherry blossom 🌸 from #KinosakiOnsen and #Kyoto
Thankfully no more rain (for now).

I have been watching #SousouNoFrieren while on the train here in Japan and I have such mixed feelings.
I'm on episode 7 and on one side I despise the main character who has zero empathy for her old party and what it meant to spend 10 years together, every day.
I get that time is relative but...
I'm also sad Himmel isn't there anymore, I would like to see a spin-off of their journey 😂
On the 14th day of #Japan2024 🇯🇵 upon arriving to Kyoto... The cherry blossom 🌸
Finally... Here are a small sample of the photos from today. Rainy but it could be worse!
⚾ 🧢 #RedSox :boston_redsox: to the win column against the #Athletics

📍Kyoto
The train station was absolutely packed. I don't remember being like this last year. I assume last year borders just reopened and we had less of us around here.
Will eat something and go downtown. Hopefully less crowded? 🥲
#Japan2024 🇯🇵
I thought I might get to see Mount Fuji from the bullet train 🗻 even if I couldn't get window seat. But it's so gray and cloudy you can't see very far.
Ye another fail to see the mountain.
#Japan2024 🇯🇵
@scribbbleanime It is... leaving soon for the station, seems like it's already raining in Kyoto. Kill me.
@Edent Congrats, Terence! Major achievement 👏
#Japan2024 🇯🇵 Day 13
Had such bad luck today but the food comforted me. Leaving for Kyoto tomorrow morning ⛩️
Some photos from the city of #Fukushima
@ayo Such a coincidence I just arrived at my hotel (Fukushima) and a woman was playing at it while stepping into the elevator.
I could never be hooked to it. Back when it started the combat mechanic was so bad. Not sure if that has changed.
⚾🧢 Very good to see the #RedSox :boston_redsox: take the first game of the series with the #Athletics
📍 Fukushima
I was sitting the bullet train this morning at 7AM ready to go to Sendai, wanted to see the fish market (auction) but the shinkansen line was stopped ❌
Trains did not go in or out of Fukushima 🚅
Waited for an hour in the train and then left to explore the city 🚶♂️
As I was exiting the station TV crews were preparing for broadcast 📡
This is my 4th trip to Japan and I've already had several train delays cancellations. Never seen before 😮

@myska I'm 100% with you, I don't like when the studios (for the sake of money 99% convinced) make up stuff to they keep releasing anime while the manga doesn't have enough to go on.
Both Jujutsu Kaisen and The Promised Neverland mangas I will get to in this 2024, promise 😂
📍 Fukushima
I wanted to have a quick snack before dinner... Ended up finding this.
Can't complain.

#Japan2024 🇯🇵
@myska Yeah I feel you.
It seems there is more manga material the (unsure if the anime skipped anything up to this point), I haven't caught up to the manga yet (another item on my infinite to-do).
@myska More like in terms of advancing the plot? The story? Or more on the animation?
@myska @scribbbleanime It's on my to-do list, it will come eventually 😂
@myska @scribbbleanime I have not watched the second one as I've been told they skipped content from the manga.
I plan to finish the manga first before watching it.
@myska The opinions are so polarized in this one, right?
Some either love it or hate it, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground.
Day 10, some pictures from Sendai.
I wasn't super impressed with the city itself but had an interesting time visiting the arena from the anime #Haikyuu 🤩

@vascorsd the anime I think would be a bonus but usually the subtitles are done by professionals. No complain :blobcattea:
If your friends have spent years and can't read it still... More the reason to not to. Unless you dedicate lots of time daily/weekly? :blobcatnotlikethis:
@chiasm keep going I shall!
@vascorsd it's a very valid question, thought the same thing.
I think it would take a huge effort though. It doesn't seem worth it just to read manga.

Day 9 #Japan2024 🇯🇵
Went to Yamagata, the trains where not working correctly today (if you can believe that from Japan) so it took me more time.
Started the day with rain but temperatures climbed and could finally take off my jacket for the first time this trip 😂

@trashmuppet Should we be glad he changed genre to sports? 😁
@silver_huskey I will watch it eventually, in a few volumes I think.
@silver_huskey I have been picking up the manga (around volume currently)
I did not know the anime had original content not from the manga. Kind of disappointed. I hoped it would be loyal. I remember watching it years ago and enjoy it.
@trashmuppet that's far away from his work in Haikyuu 🫣
What's the manga name?
@stefan I'd also be interested 💡
I wrote this but wondering if maybe there are more commands that we could add to it to keep it extra lean:
@scribbbleanime It sounds like Naruto, with it's horrible filler you must skip.
It's also hard to get into these old anime late. The art style is so out of date or the quality of the video itself, it's distracting :blobcatnotlikethis:
@scribbbleanime Right!?
I am very slowly digesting the manga. I gotta say I've never watched the anime, just a few episodes.
@scribbbleanime Thank you :blobcatheart:

I can't complain... 👇
@AWanderingSorcerer Well said! So many artists and series have been inspired by his work.
@bernat I would love to know the reason, it's just inexplicable to me 😅
@bernat Probably the same reason Markdown is not supported in Bitbucket's PR description.
Why!?
@bamboombibbitybop Yeah, when I was young I just knew the Catalan translation as it was broadcast on TV.
At some point in later years (teen?) I learned the proper way and started consuming only Japanese with subtitles. I've never gone back
@lonekorean It would be interesting if at some point both candidate and interviewer were using AI for the selection 😂

They burned the season's budget on this one. Great action-packed episode.
Even if I dislike seeing the blond doctor again and losing the Admiral and the kick-ass Spartan...
When they said the suits were gone I felt such a letdown, I was hoping Master Chief and the Spartans would lead all suited up. Not yet, I guess.

I was not as impressed with this episode as I was with the previous ones.
We've got some backstory, which is nice.
The attempt at the infiltration was too good to be true. The dude flying across the air, jumping, evading lasers... Got caught because of a drop of sweat, meh.

@yaoifest Up until episode 6 we've got a fight each week.
Now with the 7.5 recap and 8, I also feel it has slowed down 🫤
@scribbbleanime Halo was definitely a surprise. Not what I was expecting. Might not attract those who want just action. As this story explores less fighting and more about the Spartans and their brainwashing.

Found this episode perhaps to be the weakest so far. We've got no fight and just talking.
It is obvious our main character will have to show off his skills (unintentionally) inside the dungeon and everybody will be speechless.
I thought I recognized the purple hair's voice actor (Haiykuu, My Hero Academia...) https://myanimelist.net/people/1764/Kouki_Uchiyama
@pawelgrzybek For now :blobcatglare:
@boostmarks @macdonst Funny you mention it, I did a re-watch of the anime (the good one, the one true to the manga) like 2-3 months ago.
Excellent anime too.
@macdonst Gotta say, Monster did not make it for me 😅
By the way, Naruto (not Boruto) is ended. Surely it's long (72 volumes) but at least we know what we get into 💰
I was not aware My Hero Academia was set to finish in 2026. I'm glad. I also prefer finished stories.
@macdonst Awesome, My Hero Academia is waiting for me on the shelf. Getting to it slowly. I'm way out of sync with the anime (where I'm up to date).
@macdonst Makes sense then, no blame.
I did enjoy the anime a lot thus started the manga.
Too bad it didn't deliver what I wanted 😢

With the upcoming release #WordPress 6.5 at the end of March and the supposedly support for #AVIF image uploads, I updated my snippet that does bulk-conversion from JPEG to AVIF.
Can't wait to start serving the new and smaller format on the blog.
@lonekorean One of the things that makes me go back to WordPress is having a comment system out of the box.
How do you solve this with a static site generator? I've seen there are many solutions out there, don't feel straightforward.
@lonekorean Very cool project!
I have gone back an forth between #WordPress and #Kekyll and #Hugo (my favorite at the moment).
Currently at WordPress but who knows for how long 😏
@ayo This is awful, I refuse to believe you can't do the presentation and meetings remotely.
@jimniels A shame, really.

@akmur So true about refunds or delivery issues 🔥
My favorite feature has to be the Amazon lockers or counters. I have a store around the corner that can take all my packages. So I don't have to worry about being home. It's so convenient.
Sure, other providers have similar things but they just don't work that well.
The moment you have a hiccup with #Amazon or take their logistics for granted, try buying something anywhere else online.
The experience is so much worse at all levels (the package tracking, the website ease of use, the guaranteed delivery date, the speed of delivery itself... next day delivery is just too fast).

Watched the anime multiple times and I'm currently reading the #manga (I'm at volume 10) and the believable power for everyone (chunin exam arc) is fun to read. I'm enjoying it a lot.

@scribbbleanime good! You can always use the domain for multi purpose (podcasting and blogging) :blobcatfingerguns:
@scribbbleanime Have you considered buying a domain name so it's not ".wodpress.com"? 😎
@scribbbleanime 3 articles in each category looks better to me. Otherwise maybe it's too much information?
@scribbbleanime Looks good on mobile device, on desktop (wider screen) maybe the thumbnails are too small? They are in fact smaller than when shown in mobile.
I can't barely read the text in the thumbnail.
Additionally on desktop there seems to be a lot of empty space under the "latest post". Because of the sidebar that has 3 articles. Maybe just have 2 articles?

@karamergen Oh, you're in for a treat! #Tsurune second season has even better animated scenes 💜
@null Best of luck, stay safe.
@inthew0rld_0f_migi I see, I don't have the details on that scandal. First time I hear about it.
But even if they changed animators, couldn't they have used better ones? Or demand better results? I think we both agree it's not so much about the art but the animation, which is really bad. The character look so different from one scene to the next. It truly distracts me from the story. It's sad.
From what we've seen with the trailer for the the upcoming movie, we should expect something better.
@inthew0rld_0f_migi Yes, my eyes were bleeding the first time I saw it.
The story and voice actors are still very good, but the animation is horrendous. Why change the animation studio? It's not just the art-style but it's just cheaply animated.
The series deserved more, we deserved more.

Great second episode, even if a little bit easy to read what was going to happen.
It was clear they had to bow, it was clear he would be the last man standing either because they all died (or as it happened) fled.
The cliffhanger is major but we can all guess the main character is still alive and he'll be reworded either with power or items.
What's your theory?

@jantzen The web client requires a subscription, right? I don't follow enough content to justify spending on this.
@panda Looks very powerful, for less than 10 podcasts I follow I think Feedly might do just fine in my case.

🇯🇵 📚 Servamp volume 3

I’m continuing to like these long chapters. We haven’t had amazing panels in this volume with Kuro or Mahiru fighting. We’ve got two new characters, so the story moved forward. Not sure what the next volume will bring, as usual, I want more fights.
🇯🇵 📚 Kimetsu no Yaiba volume 3 ✅
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
We had very decent fights here. Not much talking and chapters full of action. We got introduced to a new character, even if so slightly and we got to see Zenitsu’s speed. Now he just needs to be a little bit braver.
I don’t think we will have so much fighting in the next volume. Let’s see!

@yellowjitsch Don't you feel like the anime started super strong and ended feeling it could've been much more?
The last 3 episodes we had to wait a long to watch were very mediocre. Nothing really happened and I would've very much preferred they did 1 episode side quests instead (like the sushi episode)
@yellowjitsch totally with you. Stunning visuals, hard to follow.
I have several manga volumes waiting for me. I did think it would help clarify, but after reading your post I'm not so sure anymore 😅

Very decent volume. Good amount of fighting, and we’ve got insights into many characters from the village and some of the mysterious ones like Gaara and Kabuto.

The series finale was truly awful 💩
There was no fight and barely an explanation of what was going on.
It seems we did a time jump there at the end? No good cliffhanger either. It's not like I would be dying to watch the next one if it was available.
I had such high expectations for the finale. I haven't started the manga yet, is this how the manga goes? I will find out...

I expected so much more from the series. It's a good thing it has an open-ended finale but these 3 last chapters have been garbage.

I'm not sure if this episode deserves 1 star, it was so bad.
I don't know what the author's intention was, honestly. Should we feel sorry for these people who, because they are miserable, want to kill innocent people?
They are scum. If they are so unhappy on this planet, jump off a bridge or ask for help. But to harm innocent people for fun?
I am very disappointed with this series. It started great and went downhill.

I do not understand how things have turned like this. Has Mahito lost now? He was overpowering everyone and someone Todo and Itadori beat him with one or two punches (Black Flash?). I don't know, I'm not convinced. Two episodes ago I couldn't see how could Mahito possibly lose. Is this over?

A little disappointed with this episode. It started great, cool fight on both fronts. Then the flashback was cheaply drawn, in my opinion (was the manga drawn this way? no mouth? simple comical style?).
In the end, they did not even show or animate her face exploding. This begs the question, is she dead? If she is, would've liked a front view not a back with a splash. Maybe she isn't dead?
How will Itadori get out of this one?

@otakubinary such an interesting character, I wish they would give him more spotlight.
@garritfra For now, it's going to be a challenge for the maintainers to keep up. I feel :youtube: YouTube will start pouring more resources into this.

We're riding a train across Spain today 🚄 🇪🇸 I'm leaving Barcelona for Ourense, we have...
@Miro_Collas yes, saw it and just tested it now. The popup is gone today 🤞
@Miro_Collas It's a battle of open source against a giant with limitless resources. I hope we can finish on top...
@screw_dog I'm with you, I manage for now but not willing to eat ads for breakfast.
@CppGuy Interesting, what is this desktop. site? Like a wrapper for YouTube?
@chiasm For my consumption I feel I'd be paying to much.
But I can see how I would lose patience if I had to cast it on the TV where I can't skip ads.
@Flowermob That seems to, for now, be a workaround to the total block. But I'd imagine they'll eventually block not logged in users as well.
@bcharper Good stuff!
That's my setup as well :firefox: Firefox with the settings to the max 😀 a bunch of extensions and a pi-hole in the network.
I've also use DuckDuck Go and I'm with you on the email, I'm in too deep to change.
@richard@walking.masto.host I feel you, I almost never cast it to the TV because of the annoying ads. So far I've enjoyed it via :firefox: Firefox with several ad blockers, pi-hole, etc.
@null thanks, I'll search for it! 😁
@null I am very confused 😂
@zalasur maybe I should also do the effort.
I do visit YouTube daily, unsure if the creators I follow also post the videos in alternative sites 🥲
:youtube: With #YouTube pushing so hard to prevent us from using #AdBlockers
What will you do❓
Some friends are already seeing total blocks while logged in and the only way to see videos is via incognito window 🦹♂️

🇯🇵 📺 Jujutsu Kaisen 37
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Episode 37, one of the best fights this season. Kudos to the animators from MAPPA 💯 👏
I think the story went a little overboard with Itadori being so badly wounded, yet being able to fight until the last moment. Dissapointed we didn't see Sukuna until the end. I guess he'll switch with him now to heal him?
@eric Yeah I'm around 30Gb I want to backup.
I think rsync is the easiest, cheapest solution at the moment.
It's a shame there's no easy way to sudo into the remote server to download to local.
@nanode Might have to end up doing that, thank you!
@glenn Thanks, I'm looking at both commands. Not finding much info about directories that need sudo :blobcatthinking:
@nanode Thank you for the detailed post! I already have a cron for database backup, I'm looking for a single command line solution that can download all the stuff.
The only thing is rsync and rclone will work with directories that need sudo? :blobfoxthinkanime:
@jaytay Thanks, I might try rclone to local instead of to another cloud provider.
@aral Thank you for the tips, Aral! Will check out Syncthing 👌
Those who have #VPS to host your sites or whatnot.
What's your backup strategy?
Backup solutions from hosting providers are usually expensive.
Thinking about just rsync to a local SSD?
Any insights are appreciated!

⭐⭐⭐
🇯🇵 📚 Servamp volume 1 ✅
I like volumes with fat chapters like these, five chapters in one volume. Love it. Lots of content and fewer cliffhangers.
I think this volume was okay, maybe I would liked a little bit more action. They got us hooked in the first and second chapters, but that was it 🥲
What do I look forward to in volume 2?
(yes, I’ve already purchased the second volume 💸)
More action 😁
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
🇯🇵 📚 Naruto volume 6, done! ✅
This volume was very good, it was all action, no talking, I loved it.
We got to see new characters, Orochimaru the villain for this arc I suppose, and just good ninja stuff. The character development was also interesting, perhaps Sakura did the most growing.
Onto the next!
@jantzen Using DuckDuckGo 90% of the time, happy with it.
Thanks!
I hate it, thanks

🇯🇵 📚 Bakuman volume 6 ✅
There was a lot in this one. It took me a long time to finish, compared to others, due to the amount of text
Story I liked a lot in the beginning but it seemed it was all an “ok, we’ve done the drama, back to how things were”. All these chapters in the hospital haven’t changed a thing, we’ve been back to fighting for the charts and being in danger of being canceled.

Great animation in this one!
In the first half, I thought "well animated but boring" but then it picked up, enjoyed a lot the fight with Itadori and Fushiguro, so calm and yet powerful.
A little bit disappointed with Ino, I thought he would be stronger. I hope they show us a comeback in the next one. Or will they kill him?
@blackestclovers I'm also behind on both anime and manga, there's just too much! 😁

@ayo to the better? Have not started yet.
Was not a huge fan of the time jumps but I understand they are necessary for the story. I think it took a long time for the different stories to start converging. Similar to Game of Thrones.
📺 🚀 Foundation Season 1
Late to the party but I've finally managed to finish Season 1 of Foundation, as IMDB puts it the "complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire."
It has been a roller coaster with some episodes being very boring episodes and others stunning.
I wanted to see more of The Empire, and enjoyed very much the previous episodes about the DNA alterations.

@Psychonaut Thanks for the tip, Duncan!

Maybe #Ahsoka chapter one was a little slow?
The action scenes were good, not much world building just yet and I don't feel super connected to the story. Like I need more context on where are we.
I'm not a hardcore #StarWars fan so all the timelines and characters are not on the top of my head.
I will continue watching 😊

@blackestclovers I felt #HouseOfTHeDragon was a far cry from #GameOfThrones
Nowhere near the same quality. Not production but the story itself. It felt just too disconnected. Where Game Of Thrones all the plots with the different characters / stories connected somehow and it was fantastic.

📚 🇯🇵 Tokyo Revengers volume 3! ✅
⭐️⭐️⭐️
This volume was overall a little weak. I think the plot has thickened a lot with this “back to square one” but we have not given many answers. It feels like we know nothing, at the start of volume 3.
Overall I feel the new characters Baji and Kazutora are not well developed. I liked the backstory with the killing of Mikey’s older brother but the hatred they feel for Mikey makes zero sense.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lots of things happened in this second part. Pretty good volume 👌
It feels like we’re back to square one, though. We’re starting over with the same goal, to save them all probably (although I wouldn’t mind not saving Akkun, what an arse). What changed, though, is that Takemichi seems more decided now. I think he has learned and changed a bit, so I expect not to see the same thing again.

📚 #AoAshi #manga volume 7 is done! ✅
It felt a little bit worse maybe because of the overall mood. We see Ashito struggling, people yelling at him, telling him to go home even 🤬
He’s being portrayed as knowing nothing (which could be somewhat true at being a defender) but is it too much? He’s brilliant at times (without realizing it, that’s fine!) but other times is like… “Oh right, I could watch videos and learn from them” 🤦♂️

End of #AoAshi #manga volume 4! ✅
This volume has been very good overall, I think the best so far in terms of drawing.
Such intense panels, it has kept me reading fast. I read the whole volume in one sitting. I usually never do this, as I want to pace myself and enjoy them more. Was hard to stop reading this one. Well done.
@gpage Now, I have even removed all the relays (which has lowered the CPU usage and storage considerably) in favor of https://github.com/g3rv4/GetMoarFediverse
If I started from scratch I would look at the alternatives, no doubt, before committing to a backend.
@gpage Hey Grayson, I stayed with Mastodon because moving the backend to Pleroma or Akkoma seemed very complicated while keeping the same domain. I could not encounter anyone that did it successfully.
I did not want to change the domain (or subdomain) or lose my followers.
After the disk usage issue was resolved, the Mastodon instance got very stable.
Are there even cases when a #CSS implementations of a #JavaScript :javascript: behavior performs worse than JS?

@shanselman Bummer, I would imagine you're entitled to some compensation after landing. In the EU for long hauls, it's at least around 600€, better get informed.
Happened to me a few years back when flying from London to Seoul. I reached them out via social media and British Airways wired me the compensation in a matter of days. Great service.

@Joelysmile Fantastic drawing! 👏
@garritfra Got the same email for a post of mine
@To Same! I enjoy more the break between reading the different stories.
If I read the same story in one go, I don't enjoy it as much. Goes by too fast.
As I go back to work soon and won't be able to go to the library during open hours I went again this morning and got some more #manga
⚽ #AoAshi 1-8 (volume 1 was great)
👊 #TokyoRevengers 1 (did not love the anime but want to give this a try)
👹 #KimetsuNoYaiba 1 (love the anime, how's the manga? If I buy it I shall do in Catalan, not Spanish)
🔪 #Gokushufudo 1 (the anime is so fun!)

Volume 1 of #AoAshi is done! ✅
I've read faster than my usual pace as I want to return them to the library to get a different series before I'm back to work.
This first volume already convinced me to start collecting it. Good stuff!
@macdonst Thank you for the inspiration, stopped by today and left with some manga 😁
Went to the local library and got the first 5 #manga volumes for #AoAshi 💯
If it's as good as the anime, I might purchase it 💰

@ted Oh wow, these look amazing 🤤
⚾ When the #RedSox :boston_redsox: are so bad the most amusing inning is when a position player takes the mound.
Well done.
@macdonst You work fast! 👏
Also thank you for the idea of checking the library see if they have manga I want to read but not collect :ablobcatbongo:
@macdonst You can tell it's a very old manga (more than 20 years old), the drawing style and such.
A friend gave me like 40 volumes so I'll read it, but not sure it's my cup of tea.
Now, on the other hand... #BlueLock or #Haikyu are awesome even if you don't play the sports. The art on Blue Lock is so intense.
Also #Naruto or #MyHeroAcademia are, for me, more entertaining shonen if that's what you're looking for 😎
Caught myself with my mouth open at the last play of the game 😮 Speechless.
The #RedSox :boston_redsox: lose...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⚽ Blue Lock volume 4 is done ✅
Great chapter 31st and fantastic volume overall, the best so far. Such intense drawing and plot 💯
@DrunkCollegeKid Animation is fantastic but the main character is so creepy when his 40 year-old persona surfaces 🤢
I'm about 8 episodes into the first season and it was somewhat funny when he was looking at his mother's breasts... but when he looks at young girls... Not cool.
@blackestclovers Stop it, please :blobcatgiggle:
@blackestclovers @nubesurrealista You manga readers setting the anime-only fans expectations high 😁
The manga is on my to-buy list, but not just yet 💸
@nubesurrealista @blackestclovers I'm still on the fence about "anime of the year" but it's looking very good with just these few episodes 💯
📺 Jujutsu Kaisen 29
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Lots of text and zero action (good animation regardless!) but it was to be expected if we're closing the backstory arc. I was needed to see where they came from.
I look forward to see more of the present with the other characters now.
#Haikyu volume 4 is done! ✅
Good closing chapter and overall great volume, better than the previous one 💯
