I've used for my day-to-day work for a good 35yrs. I've had a couple of brief clusters of years where I had to use a Windows at work (but still had MacOS at home).

I've installed on many old machines to extend their lives a bit, sorting through distros, finding one that would work on limited resources with good results. Fun stuff.

But I'm curious to ask a QUESTION about new computer purchases…

@ottaross I know the answer is yes because I saw someone listing brand new notebooks here with pre installed Linux distros. But I can’t find the post now 😔

I wonder, how do people manage to preorder figures. Sure, there are sites like AmiAmi that doesn’t have the ability to prepay up at front. Since exchange rates can fluctuate, I would rather pay at front. I have savings to pay up front without getting into massive debt over a hobby. I do track my spending while still contributing to retirement and investing.

However going overboard with not paying preorders can be a dangerous game, especially more so with the Buy Now Pay Later financing, which allows you to split up a purchase into 3-4 payments every two weeks. What is dangerous is that people tend to spend even more, thus get into the debt trap.

I wonder, how to people pay for their anime figure preorders and how people afford to buy releases. To be honest, I haven't been preordering any newest releases lately since not many figures are worth preordering.

@chikorita157 🤔 but you can always decide not to pay your preorder at amiami, if you think that the exchange rate has become to onerous or for any reason. I see that as an advantage of the preorder now/pay later model

I’ve watched several premieres this week and so far the only shows that Ive been able to watch without yawning were Girls Band Cry and Eupho. Gonna catch up with Jellyfish Can’t Swin in the Night later today

    @anianimalsmoe I bought that one years ago for coffee (I think I read about it in a wirecutter article or something like that). Still going strong and reliable: Escali Primo Digital Food Scale. You can still find it in amazon

    Astro Note's art style looks very old-skool.

    @anianimalsmoe what would you consider “old school”?

    The other day I was singing along to the Gorillaz song "Clint Eastwood" and Little MDMRN (14) said that I ruined the song. The real conversation:
    Little MDMRN: Ugh, you know all the words? You're ruining Gorillaz
    Me: I'm ruining Gorillaz?
    LM: Yes.
    Me: I'm ruining a song from a band that came out my senior year of High School?
    LM: Yes.
    Me: Proceeds to sing more and louder

    @mdmrn oh god I read the “Godzilla song” and I was so confused

    It’s funny how even leftists in the united states can’t bring themselves to say (International) Workers Day and instead use euphemisms like May Day 😂

    mofumofu,

    yes, the ‘International’ part is very important too

    looking at Reina ‘getting physical’ with Kumiko got me thinking about every queerbating controversy among american fans. And most of the time the problem is not the media but UScians and their puritanism. Really the protestants screwed them up. Getting touchy with friends, even sometimes with just acquaintance is normal in other cultures… but americans are so traumatized that they make everything about seggs

    Wind Breaker looks very good… except for the fights.. they look clumsy, with little weight and without impact. Instead when it focus on daily character interactions it shines. I’ll have to wait an see how the story develops to decide if its worth watching

    THIS IS HOW YOU DO WEIGHT! Kumiko slamming into Reina has more ‘punch’ than most of the punches and kicks in Wind Breaker

    Eupho has always being great at setting the emotional tone of scenes with body language, but here its great how they do it using environmental factors, like the lights of a passing car. Really smooth

    another episode ending using a similar lighting as the previous one to literally put the spotlight on Oumae-san

    But I realized what bothered me during the first episode is the constant info dumps. So I had mostly issues with the writing of the premier… The design of the animals doesn’t help either and they look out of place… and some secondary character look very flat

    While other games adaptations are mostly ignored by the ‘anime media’, even tho they end up being great. This is unfortunate case of Arknights

    In my tiny stupid brain I always have the idea that every developer cares about security practices as much as they care about their “product”. So I need to remind myself that those are in practice 2 completely different areas and most of the time security is an afterthought. That’s why I find funny to read the FOSS/linux bros so exited for finding malicious code

    Jellyfish was so great last weekend… doing an episode centered in Kano and her relationship with her mother but based only on her emotional reactions to Miiko and her daughter was a great narrative choice #anime #jellyfishcantswiminthenight

    everyone is dunking on tesla for their bad design choices but… I can’t stop thinking… when did we decide it was normal for car to require software updates!?

    I saw this article trending and I think they were right in a way, if you understand that survival means becoming a billion dollar unicorn start up. And that is one of the biggest sins of business/entrepreneurship these days… the relentless pursue of exponential growth at all cost… sustainability be damned…
