So, if you had just a morning to spare in Tokyo or Yokohama, which place would you absolutely visit?

@globalc@chaos.social avatar

@slp +1 on probably just looking up a nice sakura spot, fetching food at a conbini and having a picknick there.
I just checked, but seems like google-maps or yahoo-maps do not easily expose Sakura places. The Yahoo maps mobile app has it, but is in Japanese.

Could you imagine to first just decide the sound of the name of your child, and deciding the glyphs/characters for later?
Totally possible in some languages/writing systems :)

Wenn das hier so weiter geht, dann werde ich mir ein YouTube Filter bauen und alle Toots die eine Link auf YouTube habe nach > /dev/null schieben. Mir geht das Kram auf die Nรผsse!
Versucht mal nachts um 3 Uhr was auf YouTube zu quer zu lesen, wenn das Holdewesen neben euch schlรคft! Ja. Ich Willen lesen! Lesen bildet!

@Ede Hier in Japan gibt es webseiten wie gigazine.net, die Artikel (auch welche mit youtube content) fuer die Leser aufbereiten die im Zug stehend auf dem Handy konsumieren. Ohne andere zu stoeren, und moeglichst auch ohne hoeren zu muessen, also werden oft die videos in ein paar einzelne frames zerlegt und Beschreibungen gebastelt.

Dinge als Video zu praesentieren die ein Blog Artikel sein sollten ist eine Seuche unserer Zeit. :(

globalc,
@globalc@chaos.social avatar

@Ede Beispiel so eines "aufgeteilten und beschriebenen Video": https://gigazine.net/news/20240327-dinosaurs-extinction-deccan-traps/
Das ist aber nicht automatisiert erstellt sondern von Redakteuren.

Noch ein Punkt sein Wissen in Artikel zu tun: besseres Indexieren durch Suchmaschinen.

Ever wondered why generated images do not have the Kanji or letters which were asked for in the prompt?

has vending machines with all kinds of things, but I saw now for the first time selling Omamoli/talisman, at the Shibamata Taishakuten temple.
And they had Ultraman omamoli!

@mike_vlasman Now that's actually also something fun to sell in a vending machine.
Imagining now someone fetching and drinking it..

Do you know a text which you are proud to be able to read in it's native language?
้›จใƒ‹ใƒขใƒžใ‚ฑใ‚บ is a beautiful text. It's now at my place in the office, printed pdf, generated with Kanji in classical vertical style, with .

You can buy Radium...

@benoit I wonder how strong it's radiation is, relative to the bathes here which advertise with radiation.. Seen this first for one of the bathes in Atami: https://www.yukoyuko.net/special/t00225/L05/P15/S150001
