HOWEVER, there’s cases where you do want to be able to like and comment: My main use case for Youtube these days is following crafters, people who make awesome stuff. And i do want to like and comment on those videos, not just for the obvious feedback to them but also to give them a hand in spreading the word of their stuff.
Proton said the Standard Notes app, which is available for both mobile and desktop, will remain “open source, freely available and fully supported”....
Even from the “all your eggs in one basket” kind of perspective it does feel worrisome, not to mention that i am unsure about this dilution of their focus on many apps being helpful, I’d rather have them focus on very few but rock solid and maintained services instead of going with the Google “we do everything” way to do things
Bought by Automattic? After they non-consensually took all of Tumblr and hosted Wordpress to train AI? And after their big boss revealed his transphobia? I guess i’ll skip this one
Had a longer answer that went away for some reason 😭
Your criticism is fair, but:
Using the email as a seed on the generator goes halfway there, here’s an example, although of course it could never change
Centralizing the avatar opens that service up to be grabbed for tracking like Gravatar did, or breaking the security of a site by injecting code without the consent of the site owner. The usual tradeoff between security/privacy and convenience.
Would be good to have a good user-managed way to do the same (well, beyond using an image on your own hosting, i guess)
I understand your position and hate that we live in a shitty world where that choice is forced on people, but from what i see it from here, you guys have a choice between choosing the guy who’s not good but is at least doing some good, and the active fascist idolizing Hitler, with every neutral vote being effectively helping the fascist.
Not much of a choice, yes, but that’s where you are, and any vote not going to the not good guy will help the fascist. So that’s your choice, will you choose to fly over the cliff along with everybody else in the rest of the car or help avoiding that?
Considering the mention of a party being recommended to be at least level 60 before fighting the Dark Lord, plus some of the things that happen on Book 3 without spoiling anything, the original boss-version Yumiella never was close to the level cap, so my guess would be:
Current anime party close to but not up to level 60
Dark Lord at about level 65
Game Yumiella at about level 70
So yeah, Our Yumiella should be able to easily defeat the Dark Lord at this point.
Now, entering Book 3 heavy Spoiler territory (don’t look if you haven’t read it) to further justify these numbers:
spoilerYumiella 2 was the only Boss Yumiella survivor on the multiverse branch beating the Hero party because she used our Yumiella leveling techniques, so she was much stronger than normal boss Yumiella, but was still weaker than OUR Yumiella, so she never broke the level cap. That leaves my estimate of her level on Book 3 at somewhere above level 70 up to 80, maybe something in the lower 80s, but lower than level 90.
Up to book 4 here. I BADLY want the anime to succeed at least enough to let them add two more seasons, JUST so that we see Book 3 adapted. I REALLY wanna see that animated, was my fav of the 4 we have translated so far. And as a bonus, S2 should have an episode where we will see drunk Yumiella, that alone makes it worth adapting the whole thing 😂
Still, until we have word that they have greenlit more seasons i recommend people to go to the books (the manga still hasn’t finished Book 1 so the anime is further ahead).
As Yumiella herself explained i think on episode 1, you can beat the Dark Lord when you’re after certain level with strategy and good playing, but Game Yumiella pretty much needed brute force. This pretty much reflects the experience on many JRPGs (most of my experience on these is with Final Fantasy where it amply applies), you can beat the Final Boss with strategy and the right combination of skills and whatever without needing to grind much, but when there’s a hidden boss you goddamn better grind a lot and level up to even have a remote chance, damn your skills and all that. Game Yumiella seems to be in this exact spot. The things on Book 3 that i mention help in determining the levels but we just don’t know for sure without the author explicitly giving numbers anywhere (anyone around with the right connections wanna ask for us? Pretty please? 😄)
Understandable. If/when we see Season 2, we will have A LOT more on Eleonora, i hope we do.
That’s the problem with ongoing stories, it doesn’t help much the anime-only people when told “Yeah, what you want to see is on Book X which might never be adapted to anime”. And in this case it HAS to be on the books because the manga is behind the anime, the novels are the ones multiple books ahead of both.
I do still recommend going to the books though, up to at least Book 3 which is my favorite of what we have so far.
Heh, i might not be a nut like Yumiella but i do kinda enjoy all that 😄
As for the novels yes, there’s 6 volumes published in Japan and ongoing, the J-Novel Club official translation is up to Book 4, with Book 5 to be released at the end of May. Beware because the book covers and descriptions themselves kinda are spoilers (more the descriptions, the covers are more like intense teasers 😜)
That’s one of the problems of a global communication network. There was a quote i read some years ago (which i wish i could find again) that more or less said that people with some talent who in the past would have been the pride of their village now compete with world class in that skill and now are seen as “average”, yet in reality they’re talented, is just that the bar has been unfairly raised to “Beat the best in the world”.
After episode 12, we’re on chapter 34 of the manga out of 97, on a series with a promised 24 episodes, by Trigger which has never done multiple seasons of any show, and which has adapted the story EXTREMELY close to the source without rushing anything....
On the Reddit thread people, at least one of them tagged as a KDE dev, mentions that widgets NEED to be able to run arbitrary code. I am absolutely baffled by this.
A couple weeks ago Discord announced their plans to go down the IPO route. This means that there is now a ticking clock until the platform goes full-on enshittified like so many others before them....
Let’s see, on one hand we have this list compiled by somebody on Mastodon:
mockup looks like they’re pitching a device.
mockup is missing critical functionality (buttons)
infected with cryptocurrency brainworms
they haven’t decided about open source yet
trash talking existing devices, yet being vaporware itself
grand claims that have no backing in reality (like Epic, Fortnite, Roblox)
And the article itself has this:
Update 13:34 UTC, 19/03/24: One of the videos Playtron supplied to The Verge, showcasing some tech used on mobile in the article linked below, wasn’t even their own and was taken uncredited from another person on YouTube, who hit them with a copyright claim and had it taken down. Not a good look.
I’m betting this is either an outright scam, or some small project by somebody WAAAAY over their head that won’t even see the light of day
A bit late but i love what I’m seeing, specially like not having to resort to external sites for the tiled image view like we had to at Reddit, useful for both pics (more likely wallpapers in my case) and memes (my most common use case :P ). Looking forward to see it grow :D
