I really love the art parallel’s this manga wears on it’s sleeve. The fact that Coco’s solution to being inadequate compared to others is to embrace the parts of her that make her “unique” and do what she knows in a new and creative way is so apt to the artistic process.

It will show up, eventually. I wouldn’t be surprised if they move it to the start of the next episode as a gag.

Damn,

Someone really wants to know how much K-ON is consumed and by who. It’s the ultimate kompromat – you’ll be too embarrassed to ever admit the truth.

It’s definitely financially motivated. Linus said himself that AI has been very lucrative for Linux as it has expanded investment from companies that normally wouldn’t give a fuck (he name dropped NVidia specifically) on that one LTT video.

Microsoft needs to try to ruin Linux somehow, it can’t just hurt windows 11 with AI slop code, it needs to expand it’s efforts to other systems.

Really love the manga so I was excited for the show.

I’m a bit concerned that the pacing of the TV show is a bit slow and would have preferred that the Mother/Daughter interaction was handled a little bit more abridged compared to the manga. Comic pacing can generally be a bit more punctual despite covering a lot more due to pacing being “flexible” based on reader engagement, if that makes sense.

Overall though a very faithful adaptation. But I do worry that some people might bounce off the show if it doesn’t “get to the point” fast enough, I’ve seen people seemingly thinking this will be a magical girl slice of life show and it definitely isn’t that…

Makes you wonder what they’re going to do with all this hardware they’re buying? I hope that they (the ultra rich) are the ones to hold the bag for once in their lives.

Just kidding, they’ll probably get a bailout from our (US) corrupt government.

Nice, might like to check it out myself now.

Jeans, yes definitely. The material is pretty thick and it’s a good way to ensure it’s clean. Also, it prevents the metal parts from bashing the inside of the washing machine.

I’m not actually positive it’s better for cleaning, but it’s just how my mother taught me how to do laundry when I was a child. :)

How have people felt about this show, long term?

I’ve been putting off watching it because I’m super into the old show and not sure this can live up – but maybe I’m willing to give it a shot as the old show definitely had it’s fair share of problems compared to the original manga release.

“I don’t like crack myself, so I get community concerns around it” – said the local crack dealer, when reached out for comment on the story. “I only profit around the stuff, I wouldn’t want it myself.”

6 year old is a bit of a tough territory here for anime recommendations, stuff like Rumiko Takahashi works (Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha) almost seem like they’d be fine but they probably tackle slightly too mature subject matter and would be better in early teens age.

This is a bit of an old school recommendation, but you might enjoy checking out the original Astroboy, old Tatsunoko shows and stuff like that. The older anime tends to skew a little less “mature”. However, sensibilities of what is ok for kids in America vs Japan always makes this difficult. For example, Detective Conan is a great kids anime by Japanese standards, but talking about murders and kidnappings might be a little much by American standards. So YMMV.

Obviously Pokemon is a good suggestion here. The original Digimon Movies are also pretty good and are done by a great director (Mamoru Hosoda) so you might like to check it out.

This feels like a way for them to say fuck generative AI, but also, hey investors, don’t pull out we can find something else to do with it I guess…

Ultimately, if you’re a publicly traded company, the calls to “use AI and use it now” are too strong for tech companies to completely ignore, so it’s at least good that they’re drawing a line from an ethical and artistic standpoint. Once the bubble pops, they can probably take a “I told you so” victory lap.

Oh man, I loved the opening and ending to Zeta gundam which it turns out he wrote. Rest in peace my friend.

Shouldn’t a wishlist mean that it isn’t shipped at all though? Why would wishlisting expose your home address?

Yeah… As someone who uses fightcade occasionally, moderation on these services when they’re non-federated are a real problem.

No way, not my buddy!

The world’s first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

Cool. Wasn’t sure about the idea of more evangelion but I’ll keep an open mind. It’ll be interesting to see what Tsurumaki has left to say in the Eva universe and it’s definitely very interesting that Yoko Taro is working on the script. So it’s easy to say it beat my expectations.

Wouldn’t it be better to just make downvotes clamp to zero?

I get not liking the rat race of up vs down votes, but the scoring is designed to help spam prevention itself.
