When these two characters showed up in the anime I was confused. I thought that perhaps my memory was just really bad

Same.

the changes to the story order and pacing have been big improvements over a straight adaptation.

Not sure I agree. Not saying the anime does it badly, but I liked the slowburn of the manga and now that I'm reading this I'm not sure how I feel about them combining the two arcs into one. It's bound to skip a whooole lot

I'd rather have wireless charging than an audio jack if im going to give up physical space in the phone.

These aren't mutually exclusive though. The Zenfone 10 managed to do it in a way smaller body for example

Yeah I'm not surprised

Yeah, I suppose I don't have more than 100 tabs open

Given some of the Putin bootlickers in the EU parliament though, like Hungary, I wonder if that would've even been possible.

True, they didn't immediately seize all trade, but within a month already imposed sanctions like bans on imports and exports (particularly related to weapons and energy), restricted Russia's access to the EU financial markets, SWIFT bans on several Russian banks (I don't understand why not all of them) and a lot more.

Since the start they've imposed 17 sanction packages. Should they have done more in the 1st month though? Absolutely. I read your comment as if you were saying they did nothing at all, hence my response being what it was. If I read that wrong, I apologize.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying the EU has imposed no sanctions before this? If so, that's objectively false. The EU has imposed many sanctions against Russia already since February 2022 on top of existing sanctions because of Crimea.

imo no. Because:

  • you can't charge at the same time (there are dongles that allow both, but I don't trust those to keep the two signals apart without interference)
  • it's annoying
  • there's more strain on the usb c port. A headphone jack is, in my experience, more sturdy

But I really like how Firefox mobile handles tabs right now..

Misschien een beetje raar specifiek Chinese toeristen te noemen

Ik denk dat het vooral hier in zit. Wat willen ze bereiken door ze specifiek Chinees te maken? De grap werkt even goed als het gewoon toeristen waren.

Echt nieuwswaardig vind ik dit dan weer niet.

Verder wel eens dat de reactie moreel-panisch is.

Maar, op economisch vlak, daar is veel mis mee gegaan.

Helemaal mee eens.

Opzich wel interessante tactiek die je voorlegt.

Rechts klaagt toch al genoeg over links, maar is zelf hypocriet.

Precies, dus wat wint links ermee door hetzelfde te gaan doen? Rechts is al hypocriet en mensen blijven toch zeuren over links. Ik zie niet hoe links iets gaat winnen door zich te gedragen als rechts. De rechtse stemmer krijg meer voer om links te bashen en de linkse stemmer ziet dat hun partij zich gedraagt als rechts en zal wat anders zoeken.

maar dat is voor mij nog geen reden om dan 'sociaal' neoliberalisme voor te staan

Zeker, maar je hoeft toch niet reactionair te zijn om niet neoliberalistisch te zijn?

I'm going to be checking out a pair of 2nd hand Focal Chora 806 tomorrow. There's a good chance I'll buy them, but I need an amp and DAC (preferably integrated) to go with them. Any budget friendly recommendations?

I have a pair of Audio Technica M40x and while I like the sound decently enough, I find the pads very uncomfortable. They hurt after a while and my ears get quite warm. So I'd like to replace the pads. I've seen Brainwavz and Dekoni recommended before, but the former is not available in the EU (for a reasonable price that I can find anyway) and the latter is quite pricy. Are there any other recommendations?

The spoiler tags used in Eternity >!!< don't seem to be compliant with how the majority of Lemmy apps handle spoilers. The web UI for example uses the following:

spoiler

It seems most apps follow this (Voyager for example).

This causes spoiler tags made with Eternity to be ineffective, since they don't show up as spoilers and vice versa. This can become quite annoying in communities discussing movies, tv, anime, books, manga etc

I've been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it's not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I'm struggling to find guides on this and the documentation is quite lacking. I don't know what I'm wrong. Are there certain rules I need to be following in order for Shoko to hash correctly? Does it hash the name? The actual ripped files?

My folder structure is setup in a way that Jellyfin properly recognizes it (without using the Shoko plugin yet), so like so for example:

- Fate/stay night: ubw (2014)
---- Season 01
---------- <episode> S01E01
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2015)
---- Season 01
---------- you get the idea

Since multi season anime often are separate entries, each season is usually its own main folder (which is one of the reasons I wanted to try Shoko to see if I could combine them into one so that I don´t have multiple entries for what is really only 1 anime series).

Anyone here that uses Shoko and have some tips?

EDIT: thanks for the information and tips everyone. Seems like Shoko might not be what I'm actually looking for.

 

This was displayed yesterday in the app when the new chapter was supposed to be uploaded. They even removed it from the library. I can't see it in my MangaPlus library and the Mihon extension says that it's removed. The Japanese version does still exist it seems and properly got the new chapter.

I read some speculation that this might be due to copyright reasons of the translated song lyrics. If that's the case, I don't understand why the Japanese version would still be up, since I assume they use the real lyrics.

Anyway, this is quite sad. I hope it gets resolved soon.
