Just ran into another at least mildly interesting manga in my trawls through the new updates section. "Karei ni Rien Shitemisemasu Wa!" wherein the villainess is entirely 100% honest and open with the other two characters and trying to get them into a position to be together, but they misinterpret her advice as bullying and threats.
@anime (It was actually the light novel for a Manga series you told me about, but it happens so late in the story that it will probably be years before the reveal lands in the manga.)
@anime That they tossed Einstein in reminded me of the end of another light novel series I read, where they ended up trying to annihilate anyone reincarnating into their world because they kept getting people who were trying to take over everything, like Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Hitler, etc. I'm hoping that we get more of the other characters and not Einstein, but I want to read a bit more of it either way.
Ran across another interesting Manga, The Holy Grail of Eris. I think I'll pick up the few volumes that have been released here in the US.
@TechConnectify I've never had a gas stove myself, but as far as boiling over or instantly shutting the heat off, I've always just removed the pot from the hot electric burner when that was necessary. And the preheat time, I just set an alarm on my watch for 10 minutes then do something else, and it's usually boiling by the time the alarm hits. I use a lot of other electric appliances though, Microwave, Air frier/convection oven, rice cooker, instantpot...
Ohh, new random Isekai. "Wise Man's Reincarnation: Five Kingdoms" Only one translated so far though, 2 hours ago.
@rysiek I use Newsblur but I know that's not for everyone. When I don't use newsblur, I dabble with rssowl.
re: Birdsite
@TechConnectify I personally think it was a bad idea for them to restrict free speech in either direction, but it's also a private company so they can *legally* do what they want. I don't find those values in conflict at all, one is what they should do as a person providing a platform, the other is what they're legally allowed to do. Musk is just as bad as the prior version of twitter, and just as legal.
@gamingonlinux Unfortunately, neither of the games I'm playing right now have creators on fediverse, but Disgaea 6 and Pic-a-Pix Pieces 2 are my active games. It would be nice if NISa and Lightwoodgames were on fediverse though.
Enjoying Sora ni Mairu. I've really been in the mood for more SciFi series so this one has been fun.
@anime @DaveyDelimbo @Moon @animeirl I've never been to a hot springs in Ridgway, but it would make sense for one to be around there because of its proximity to other hot springs. Ouray and Glenwood Springs also have good potential for someone to make an Onsen.
@union Sam Bankman-Fried did a Bernie Madoff with it, now we need someone to be the new Elizabeth Holmes.
@anime I doubt it, I'm off here in a corner with only a tiny bit of followers. But I think that right around the time I found it, it popped up on Mangadex "Popular New Titles" list. I probably just stumbled into it at the same time everyone else did.
@anime Hah, now there's 7 translators for 5 episodes... I wonder if the chances of it continuing to get translations are going up.
@Moon @grillchen @kaia @lanodan @sim @newt I wrote programs that worked for years. Some of them were more than simple embedded programs like "neutrons go up, rod goes in, neutrons go low, rod goes out + hysteresis". Stuff like managing railroad signaling and whatnot. Most were in assembly, but they were programs by any definition.
In fact, one of them programs was even an Internet MTA. I know it's impossible today: anything that has any connection to Internet must be kept upgraded constantly. In that case the mitigating factor was the slow pace of change in the ancient Internet, and the underlying network links running UUCP, not SMTP. Also, it was not running on a UNIX. Fun fact, the language of implementation was K&R C, but I completely removed malloc(). The daemon had no dynamic memory allocation whatsoever. This would of course bite later, when someone wanted an RFC-822 header that was longer than 2KB. But it worked! For years even.
At one point in the 90s, I became pointlessly concerned about this: we cannot make computers and their software without other computers anymore. I remember - in my living memory - how I wrote parts of OS in machine code. But that's completely in the past. Now you cannot build a computer from the ground up and make it build its own software from zero. The software stack must be cross-compiled on another, pre-existing computer. In one human's lifespan, it happened.
The next stop in this journey was the systems that cannot boostrap even after they were boostrapped. Android for example, runs on a billion of devices, all networked, and it cannot self-reproduce. You need a Linux for it. And a server.
And now, we're in a situation where you need Internet for any of this. If you power it down, you will not be able to restart it. And, programs on the Internet are forever in a lifecycle, forever updating. Of course they cannot run without a restart for years, and why? Not a design parameter.

@developing_agent IMO, if someone switches to Allowlists/whitelists then it's no longer fediverse, it's another Gab.
