I don't know what the reason for downvoting this post is. But mayhaps funneling a few fediverse comments on an official channel will at least put this place on the map, so to speak, for the Japanese language-first media we are fans of?

How long before I can order them and grow my own shoe? Exciting stuff!

The Wisewolf will eventually learn the ways of streaming in the 21st century.

It's the TOHO animation channel though, where they don't have comments turned on.

Until very recently, they even cut short music videos on their channel artificially.

Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.

What better way for Holo to join us in the Reiwa era, than to have her own VTuber model to hawk goods. Episode 1 of Holo the Wisewolf's YouTuber debut!

Some things I learnt from watching the promotional event (restricted to Japan it seems) at Anime Japan. Do correct me if it seems I misunderstood or misremembered some parts of the interview:

• The production crew is making the distinction between the earlier adaptation and the remake by referring to them as 平成版 (Heisei-era version) or 令和版 (Reiwa-era version).

• Koshimizu Ami mentions everyone from novel-only, Heisei-era, to now Reiwa-era enjoyers to find pleasure in the versions they like, without trying to compare which versions are superior.

• Koshimizu Ami expresses that she feels the years in the industry, and just gaining more life experience itself, will allow her to portray a Holo with more maturity with just the right balance of childishness.

• Nakahara Mai is replaying Norah with the idea that this is a different Norah from a different work.

For real, that nostalgia hit slowly crept up on me as I realised what song Fuwamoco was covering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp2f8iIZrdY&t=7705s

Rain. We are saved! MET really accurate with their prediction.

Reminded why I hate commuting to the office. Driving for over an hour just for a one-way trip back home, is absurd. Thank goodness I insist on 99% work from home.

The week's almost over. Hope you are holding up well there.

Remember if it doesn't work out, quitting is always an option.

I read the title as a joke, and the more I read, the more I want it.

Just go all the way and abolish the state. If statists hate states so much just let the anarchists run things already.

There has to be a mod rule against reading things in the most bad faith way.

If an overt call to carve up and eat billionaires is needed, I am most happy to supply my own personal philosophy, that I am vegan except if I get to eat the rich (literally).

The red superchats being paid in 5 figures will probably be a big tell.

Thank you for sharing this talk! Literally sweating as the ramifications started to hit me while watching it. Probably the most profound video I have watched in many years.

Whoa this is awesome! Thanks!

I may be at a loss as to how everything fits together. I was trying to get SD running for months on TW before I gave up. Then just booted Ubuntu and it worked. So I always assumed it was something kernel related since upstream only supports the non-rolling distros.

What I need is probably an up-to-date write-up that is distro specific to TW. Meanwhile, I will probably try to compile ROCm and follow the suggestion in https://slrpnk.net/comment/2780338 and try to get rocm-opencl-runtime working.

Oh neat. Thanks for the clarification. Maybe that's all I need to do to patch my TW system to get it working!

Good point. I will probably buy an ice-cream machine just to do this.

Okay okay so maybe being vegan and being forced to pay like 10 times the price of ice-cream where I live has something to do with it too.

Nice. I am partial towards the rolling-release model so once my new hard drive arrives, I might take the plunge and just do an Arch install. What's the latest no-frills way to go from installation to a working system for Arch Linux derivatives?

Oh yeah. I like Nix. I have nixpkgs running on Tumbleweed too. But yeah, the base OS needs to be stable to be compatible with ROCm stuff, so that's why I have Ubuntu installed in a separate partition.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is getting the ROCm kernels running. I looked into containers for ROCm support and unsurprisingly, my host OS needs it first.

This is the way.

Hope it works out for you! It would be a pain to always have to reload the references and notes for stuff so I'd rather just have it stick around.

Alternatively, you could create a profile, for example name your profile a1111. To summon it run firefox -p a1111 then change the options to always clear the cache, never store cookies, never keep a history, and you have effectively created a private browsing tab.

Or better yet, you have a completely separate profile just for A1111 that will not interfere with your regular browsing.

It should be fairly easy to find the line to launch a browser window in the config then to launch the profile you just created.

If we are treating this like an emergency, imagine if you were a resident of the flooding in Derna, what they would do if they saw the Exxon oil executives dining on the side of a posh cafe in their suits and tie saying the death of everyone in your neighbourhood is just business?

I would very much advocate for beating them up.

Indeed the right philosophy to take if we are to consider ourselves civilised.

I learnt how to use OBS just so I can export my screen to the camera feed because of Zoom's immensely confounding oversight considering their profit.

lol thanks. Some details may differ from what I heard because it was a conversation while on the bus, and it has been a few weeks since that encounter with the bus driver.

Maybe? Who is to say what happened.

These ghosts gotta stop giving kids phobias about going to toilets in the middle of the night.

I didn't think I would be creeped out by such a short story, but colour me mistaken!

It's a remake with the original leads, so basically Evangelion. They must want to change up the pacing and the storytelling to want to redo the whole series rather than continue where they left off. Our comrade over on kbin points out the original series skipped many chapters.

But since the original light novel series is more or less done, we may have a shot at a Fruits Basket-like adaptation of the whole series!

Maintenance is also easier, and construction generally safer compared to the often proposed nuclear option.

I started bingeing even before the final 4 episodes came out. Can confirm it is extremely addictive and bingeable.

Seeing depressed Miorine without any uniforms, it just hits you she is just a kid. A kusogaki who is just slightly more well-informed than everyone else.

My DuraXT cost me like USD70. It's been done before with older stuff for dirt cheap. Plus waterproofing is not necessarily covering all ingress points. It includes a coating on the parts as well.

That's how I can read on my Kobo ereader, spill curry on it, and clean it off at the sink.

I owned a Kyocera DuraXT for a while. Lovely waterproof phone I frequently launched into walls and concrete whenever the iPhone crowd asked me why. Battery easily removable and replaceable. Flip phone. Able to make calls while drowning up to 5 metres underwater.

Only reason I don't use it anymore is I moved back to a country that doesn't support CDMA. Would get another one immediately if it supports Signal.

I know an elderly couple who tried their container farm project seriously. The vegetable was great, but wildly expensive compared to the stuff grown conventionally. The labour and resources involved to make it sustainable would still have to be less than conventional agriculture, as long as we live under market capitalism.
