I like anime and manga.

Gunpla is fun!

Computers are fun too, sometimes.

Video games can entertain…

I blog now!

I can code.

This should be updated further at some point really. Or should it?

So I'm attempting to grow negi. You know that long veggie that :mmiku_waving: Hatsune Miku in Ievan Polka, Farfetch'd, and Sirfetch'd carry?

I've heard it called a lot of names.

What do you call negi in your region? :neocat_confused:

@anianimalsmoe @shinydan I’m aware of green onions, but they are pretty small.

I think it’s a pretty cool thing that I can still learn about new vegetables.

(Also a lot of fruits/vegetables comes from China:))

I’m curious about how people feel about the age of media. Is it being recent important to you? Is it only worth watching a show if you can talk about it with others as new episodes pop up?

Or do you like going back and watching/reading older media? Go back really far?

I’ve noticed that with some media I can go back a long time. Music I can go back really far (the Queen of the night’s aria still kicks), books I can can go back quite far (after a certain age the Swedish/English gets difficult to read). Live action TV? Cuts off pretty quickly. Movies even more so (except Citizen Kane that genuinely was amazing).

But I find that going back with anime and manga is pretty cool. A TV show from ‘78 was genuinely good (Mobile Suit Gundam).

Kinda want to go on a cheesy 80s binge at some point :)

@neatchee I only kinda like musicals, I think the music slows things down a bit too much. Which is why I liked Hazbin as the songs were pretty short and pushed the story forward.

We need more wizards and mages and such. And classical ones. There was so much cool stuff back in the day and I’d love to see it come to life now.

For instance a very high quality TV show version of Terry Pratchett would be amazing. Think one book, one season. And no goofy stuff. Make it really good.

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@neatchee Haven’t seen Going Postal yet. It’s the British two part movie right?

I quite liked Good Omens. I was touched by how it felt like Gaiman wanted to honor his friend and he interpreted Pratchett so well in the adaptation. Season two was also enjoyable, but it became noticeable that Pratchett was the bigger influence and it’s not that easy to emulate his style. Gaiman still did a wonderful job never the less. I don’t think many could have done it that well.

Knew I’d get called out:) What I meant was the low budget, kind of stage play type of goofiness. Similar to how all planets look like Canada in low budget sci-fi.

I would love a how where it actually looks like I’d imagine it. The Fallout and The Last of US instead of the latest Resident Evil or that horrid abomination Monster Hunter “movie”.

Fallout is probably a great example. I want all the fun and cleverness and oddities and fun and social commentary and everything else that comes with Pratchett. Imagine the witches! But packaged up really really nice and neat and professional.

Oh, imagine if they nailed DEATH. Both amusing, comical, yet utterly terrifying in some ways. Or Lord Vetinari. That man is truly frightening. But also so funny :)

Same yon@ as on the other sakurajima:) Going to start moving over my anime posting over here instead. There's a story, but it's boring, and no need to bore people used to such fine arts as manga and anime:)

Watching old anime (pains me when I have to specify, from the mid 80s) is interesting. It’s so different from later anime.

Style wise I could easily see how it’s a lot closer to the west at that point. Well ignoring the ads poorly masquerading as children’s TV in the U.S. :(

I keep wishing there was a really in depth video series on the stylistic evolution of manga and anime. Would required a crazy amount of research and knowledge to make something worth watching though.

Another new Xitter clone by an ex-Xitter exec, Maven, is basically using OpenAI to categorize posts, and using algorithms to generate a feed based on selected topics. So no 'following', just 100% topics based on algo...

In theory it's good, but it'll eventually just feed you mostly ads, because that's the only way to profit off social media. No following means all conversations would be topical instead of community, which is kinda like Deaddit.

@chikorita157 It’s such a baffling not-much-of-a-product.

I mean it looks super cool in Star Trek, but just like Star Trek doors the reason it works is that it’s scripted.

If things like Siri was so good I felt my phone was in the way, then one of these things would be a, well, thing.

But Siri and friends are downright awful. I genuinely would like Apple to make Siri good. I would use it quite a bit more then.

@chikorita157 You were right, looks like the Snapdragon X Elite (stop using X, it’s been swastikad) is both fast and lasts longer (though since it’s actively cooled and I have no idea of what battery was used we’ll have to see about performance per watt).

Would be neat to have it in a Linux laptop. I don’t want an even worse Windows keyboard (the win and menu key was always moronic and inferior to meta, but it’s getting worse now!) though, and Windows with copilot+ is just incredibly super creepy. So maybe someone will finally build an actual Linux laptop with a sensible and useful keyboard.

I don’t even want to know what it’s reporting back on, but nothing you do on your computer would be even remotely a little bit private. That is creepy.

Apple better not be as dumb.

@chikorita157 @anianimalsmoe I wonder if it was Motorola or if it was just a dead end.

I’m still sad 68k died:( I wonder how far they could have gone.

I get why ARM is doing well, it was a really cool architecture from day one. Makes me wonder what would have happened if Amiga, Atari, Apple etc would have jumped on ARM in time.

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 AIX if it’s a must, but boy would one want to get off that. Could run win/mac/linux and cross compile and deploy after all.

I wonder if there’s people out there that can drop $10k on a machine like that just to run Linux because they want a different CPU arch :)

(Disclaimer: I don’t know if these are any fast. No clue there.)

@anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 I’ve read that for a long time. Probably because it’s a “good story”. But at one point as you say pesky things like molecules comes into play.

Which is why we see multi-this and that. Multi cores, wide parallel pipelines, chiplets, etc.

That said, it seems like ARM is less resource intense for the same effect. Rethinking how the resources are used could create better outcomes.

But switching platforms is getting less and less common:( Feels like ARM might be the last one for a long time.

IMHO a lot of it is by far fast enough for me. My issues are power consumption and heat. I want less. It’s getting crazy in same cases. Not old big iron crazy, but still crazy.

I do wonder what it’ll all do to the whole business though. If the pace actually stops.

@chikorita157 @anianimalsmoe Volume is everything.

But I wonder who buys these today. I wonder what the use case is. Not in a dismissive way. I just don’t know.

@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 First of all, the M3 is really fast. Faster than what I need in a laptop, by far.

Also while we are going to see endless amounts of Benchmarks, the Apple SoCs vs others comes with the caveat that it’s only a part of it all. If you want MacOS/iOS/etc there are no alternatives. And if you want Windows/Android/(Linux?) you can’t use Apple SoCs anyways.

(I know they are working on Linux on Apple, but it’s not fully ready yet. Very impressed by their efforts, but I’m realistic.)

So Apple is mostly PR (faster means you need it, right?) plus a smaller number of people who do something intense. They have to appear good.

With non-Apple the question is, what happens to Intel/AMD? You know that story, but I myself see an open race still. Here you could jump hardware platform and continue your software (theoretically).

Biggest issue with jumping to ARM for handheld gaming systems that wants to perform really well is GPU. I still don’t get why AMD doesn’t have an ARM with their GPU in a SoC. Baffles me. Nvidia seems to have gone snowblind with AI:/

Feels like I’m looking at a bunch of puzzle pieces, but nobody seems to connect all needed pieces.

(I still don’t think x86->ARM will be fast enough unless we see hardware dedicated to it in non Apple hardware. And I think getting it recompiled is the way to go. But I could be wrong. If someone tries we’ll know:))

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 I assume so. Who building a new system would go “let’s build it on an obscure OS instead of Linux/Win with massive amounts of support and knowledge”!

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 @anianimalsmoe I also don’t think the volume was there. Plus they seemed to have issues getting new and better versions out. Similar to the 68060 in that sense.

yon,
@yon@sakurajima.moe avatar

@chikorita157 AMD really truly should make SoC/APUs with ARM+Radeon. I can’t come up with a single good reason not to. Which leads me to believe one out of two things.

We’ll get a surprise at some point.

Management failed.

If you want to stay on Windows 10 after 2025, it’s going to cost a lot $61 per PC :leafeonmoney:

Windows 11 isn’t that great, but forced to use it. Thankfully, I use Mac as my main OS as using Windows is painful enough.

@NaraMoore @chikorita157 @Hika I’ve been a Linux user on and off over the years. Both server and desktop.

It is not friendly for average users. There’s attempts, some even kinda successful, but for desktop there’s a fair amount of knowledge needed.

I possess a fair of knowledge, but there are times I just throw my hands in the air and no longer cares.

So, if you aren’t willing to let Linux be at least a minor hobby, it’s not a great idea imho.

(And just because the source is (mostly) out there, doesn’t mean it gives you a chance to easily debug, fix, and send fixes out. Never done it once. I’ve been thinking about trying to, but it’s a pretty big barrier to be honest.)
