Can confirm, can get just about anything unscented in Japan. Thankfully likely due to the general societal norm of not having a strong smell wafting about oneself. Though not all abide, most do.
We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.
Worth mentioning, as someone has for Kakao below, the LINE app has a magnitude or two or three more features than Signal. Beyond chat, the app handles payments including retail via QR, effectively has Instagram and TikTok built in, has an entire news section, and much more.
Heck, LINE the company even has permanent and pop-up merchandise stores in downtown Tokyo (Harajuku) and their own MVNO mobile carrier called LINE Mobile.
Now that said, I loathe LINE, the app. The UX is poor and the app is bloated behind belief. Only use it effectively out of necessity as someone living in Japan. The only alternative communications channel even remotely close in usage is probably Instagram chat.
Have always been curious about AntennaPod. Was about to switch from PocketCasts earlier this year but turns out PocketCasts became open source a little over a year ago, October 2022.
Still curious about AntennaPod but PocketCasts has been and continues to work super well and has a web/desktop (PWA) client so may just stick with it. Mobile app repos below btw.
I think it’s usable for free though I’m not sure to what degree since I picked up a one time payment lifetime plus subscription some years ago. I see it’s sadly now only free or monthly subscription. 😔
People might be hating on Majaro in part because they forgot to renew their SSL certificate at least twice and apparently even recommend users change their computer’s clock as a local hack fix for their lack of ability automate said certificate, a trivial task these days.
Quick search, looks like it expired in at least 2015 and 2022.
Cannot recommend enough having a preconfigured to do list for trip packing that you can quickly make a duplicate of in Google Keep or Apple Notes or wherever you prefer.
Might not always be 100% comprehensive but surely guarantees I have all necessary things such as chargers, documents, and clothing.
As someone who has been living abroad from their home country for over 8 years, it has proved indispensable.
Was about to say as someone who’s been using Ruby for over a decade, 8 of which professionally, I’ve never once come across a for loop. each on the other hand, all day every day.
Backlogs are great. Sometimes while working on prioritized tasks the depriorized backlog tasks are made irrelevant and thus you never have to do them and you don’t waste effort. Call it strategic deprioritization or perhaps even tactical laziness.
Already more or less against meat and eat seldom. Regardless, cannot give up flying or I’ll never see my home country nor family again save for a long af boat ride. 🤷♂️
It is indeed a PWA and really solid one at that. Replying from it now. Speaking of which, they’re working on pushing native builds to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store right now. The speed of development has been absurd, super quick.
I am not much of a microblog user, neither actively engaging nor regularly passively consuming content from the likes of those services. But I like to dabble every now and then.

I, like many gamers, grew up playing Pokémon Red and Nintendo 64 and was obsessed with Nintendo products. I graduated to a PS2 and PS3 and became super into Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty and Fallout. Also spent a ton of time with the Guitar Hero series. I loved the escape gaming brought me and it genuinely helped me relax....
The latest Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, completely reignited my gaming passion. This game is incredible if you enjoy rich world building, exploration and adventure, and puzzle solving.

I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?
