- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 22 hours ago:
My experience trying to learn other languages has been that it’s a lifelong process.
Japan’s writing system is rather complex. It has three primary forms and mixed together. Your familiarity with Cantonese & Mandarin may help with kanji (but also be a source of confusion, as they share some similarities).
However, their speech has regional dialects and some of their phrases requires an understanding of their history and culture.
The monogatari series has been cited as extremely dense to understand for foreigners, but would be an excellent candidate for practicing your comprehension skills.
Side thought: How do you feel about the dub of this series? It’s often credited as being very high quality.

What’s worse is when the compiler throws a warning you have unused variables. But you know that’s untrue.

If you used a transparent PNG you might be able to make it look like it’s popping out of the UI.

RIP FUNimation you didn’t deserve this.

Wash your hands. Maybe have it checked out at a clinic.
But by the sounds of it you’d really enjoy fermented soy beans and black dragon rolls.

- Comment on So, how's that fight for porn games going? 4 days ago:
My understanding is that itch.io has restored most of them.
CC processors in some countries have still pulled the plug on it.
Seems lobbying groups are now attacking VPN providers.
Valve spoke out against financial censorship.
A bunch of Patreon projects switched over to subscribestar and other means of funding.

For a second I thought you meant bundling pizza with the deal. Which I think would work well. Imagine getting one free dominoes pizza a week with game pass ultimate++. Haha
- Comment on why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime? 6 days ago:
They are about €1 for a small pack. So it’s easier to replace it than to test it directly.
But if you mean to see if it’s the problem without taking it out.
After running the computer for a few hours. Turn it off, unplug it from the mains and disconnect the main battery for 24 hours. Connect the main battery and power it on, go directly to the bios and see if the time and date are still correct.
If they are not, it’s likely a bad CMOS battery.
- Comment on why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime? 1 week ago:
Sounds like a bad CMOS battery. They are typically a small cr2032 battery cell.
Your specific model should hopefully have a technicians manual or iFixit guide you can follow to fix it. If your computer is still under warranty they can fix it for you.
- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 1 week ago:
What helps me is that I try to disengage 10 hours before I need to wake up. Usually takes a couple hours before I’m ready to sleep. So I’ll just lay in bed listening to music or scrolling through Lemmy.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 1 week ago:
They used to make an unleaded monster.
But the flavour profile of most cans is salt water taffies if that helps.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 week ago:
I started cooking for elderly people and I’m not allowed to use salt at all. But I’ll see them dumping salt on it at the table.

It’s not sharp, there’s little plastic beads on the ends.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
If I’m intended to be a part of the conversation (such as a group demonstration) it’s offensive if they don’t make an effort to keep everyone on the same page.
The manager is also potentially concerned that she can’t monitor the chatter for mistakes. (And ego)
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 2 weeks ago:
It would need to be an OLED.
I really like the reviews on this site www.rtings.com

- Comment on Borderlands 4 | Review Thread 3 weeks ago:
For those that have played it. How’s it compare to borderlands 3 and Wonderlands?
I thought the characters and story in 3 was bad but the gameplay was solid.
I also felt wonderlands characters and story was fun but the gameplay kinda meh.

- Comment on What percentage of the world population ages 30+ do you suppose is capable of financially supporting themselves & living & thriving independently? 3 weeks ago:
If you remove thrive from the query I would say most of them.
However once you include thrive as a modifier I’d reckon under 5%.

I recently learned God of War and the Linux kernel developers are having a programming feud.
“…Luck’s patch had achieved its intended purpose; God of War players are now suitably miserable…”

- Comment on Will Lemmy instances be forced to verify users' ~~ages~~ identities? 4 weeks ago:
I love that idea.
If you do, I’d like to know what kind of bandwidth and system usage it demands.
I’ve been wondering if a pi could do this for me and my few friends.
