I managed to find this post somehow but I can inform you that there’s a community for Tsukihime that I’ve created early on, it’s on a smaller instance that doesn’t wage defederation wars so it should be accessible to almost anyone.

• !tsukihime@iusearchlinux.fyi

Additionally if you want to appear in our sidebar you can reach out to me over DMs on this account or PM me on mastodon at @Scraft161@tsukihi.me. (this goes for any anime community; discoverability on lemmy is pretty lackluster)

It’s sad that more companies are just willing to screw their customers and squeeze them dry of every last penny just for the sake of profit and infinite growth even though we know infinite growth will never be attainable.

Every corporate entity is willing to forfeit their goals for money, especially if they hold a monopoly in a certain space and when growth slows they will look for other ways to offset that income.

I’ve learned that loyalty means jack shit to the company and it’s just another thing they can exploit you with, I’m not loyal to AMD but right now they’re the least unethical party in this race to the bottom.

NVIDIA finally being the whole bitch it seems, not unexpected when it comes to tech monopolies.

In the words of our lord and savior Linus Torvalds “NVIDIA, fuck you! 🖕”, amen.

In all reality, a lot of individuals aren’t gonna care when it comes to EULA B’s unless they absolutely depend on it and this whole move has me want an AMD gpu even more.

last I heard AMD is working on CUDA working on their GPUs and I saw a post saying it was pretty complete by now (although I myself don’t keep up with that sort of stuff)

Yup, this is the whole point of federation instead of just decentralisation.

This stuff is honestly incredible and the more I learn about it the more there is to appreciate.

Exactly this worked best for me back in the day

Not just you, your brain is wired to pick up language, how did you learn your first one?

I’m German and while we have some mandatory English classes, they’re …well … not good.

I can attest that English classes here aren’t great either (although most people here do speak English as a second or third language)

and at least the teacher I had first also had a VERY thick German accent

This is a known side effect of premature output (writing/speaking before you feel comfortable doing so), you don’t just listen to what’s around you, you primarily listen to yourself and pronunciation differs between languages, this premature output becomes toxic input for your brain which then uses that from then on (you can try and get rid of it; but it is really hard to do)

once I was halfway through the game my brain kinda switched to “English mode” and I actually learned words and grammar in a natural way instead of trying to force myself to understand what the hell a “singular past tense adverb” is.

Yup, that’s natural understanding for you. When you speak a language you don’t care about the rules; you should instinctively know them.

As for my issue with Duolingo: it ignores the amount of time it takes to properly acquire a language, if I were to split up all the time I spent watching english youtube into 5 minute chunks it’d take me well over 15 years (and that’s just accounting for the initial 4 month span; I’ve learned more things after as I naturally used the language). Combine that with the fact it throws established research on this topic to the wayside to push the school-based one which we know goes against the natural way in which we learn. I found a great blog post online about this, while it mostly revolves around learning Japanese; the core principles apply to learning pretty much any language. The beginning of the post does sum the entire thing up pretty well though:

We do not recommend “language learning” apps like Duolingo, Lingodeer, Babbel, and others due to the fact that their methodology conflicts with AJATT’s principles of immersion learning. Such apps do not actually help you with anything. There are no success stories. On the other hand, AJATTers typically reach fluency in just 18 months. The apps prevent you from reading interesting content in your target language, such as manga. And they make you more miserable in the end.

There are some really good parts in that blog that apply to any language; but a lot of it is geared towards Japanese specifically.

If you need a file host see if catbox fits your needs.

The best course of action is to consume as much content in the target language as possible, tv shows, music, YouTube videos… Your brain will eventually pick up on certain parts of the language naturally. Also the best thing you can do is to not force yourself to speak or write in that language until you are comfortable doing so (this is one of the biggest things doulingo does wrong).

I can attest to this method working as I went from barely knowing a couple of English words to speaking it in about 4 months (you could probably do less if you stick to what I outlined above). To back up this method I suggest you look at antimoon which is written by people who have used this to learn English as well.

Hi, it seems like you posted to Lemmy from mastodon, while this is perfectly possible there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. The first line of your toot will be the title, this should be pure text and avoid things like links, emoji, and other text markup as Lemmy doesn’t render those.
2. Lemmy will only ever show the first image on a mastodon toot.
3. Lemmy doesn’t handle image alt text very well, this is not a huge issue and I expect this one to get resolved as time goes on.

Just include their account address, the webui or your app should do the rest if needed.

I really like these ones, they are minimalist yet detailed, the bottom set would be a great pair of app/notification icons.

Maybe have an option in the app itself to change the icon so people can choose to use any icons they prefer.

Pretty sure only Rudeus and Julie spoke beast god in that room, there’s a lot of context the anime skips and it has been a good sec since I read the ln but I do remember it being that way

Eternity sounds good to me, and there’s even a fun reference in it for those who play antimatter dimensions

You don’t know how much I missed this app and how much Lemmy feels like home now

Just use prism, it’s multimc but properly maintained, pro OSS (if you care) and has a built-in curse/modrinth downloader.

As someone who read the source material, this hit way harder in the novels for me, the anime cut out way too much of his internal struggles which are at the forefront of this arc.

I follow quite a few communities across the lemmyverse so it’s not too big of a deal, but I do know that it’s a very large and popular instance (then again, my advice has always been to settle on a smaller instance anyways)

A big part of the fediverse is that it’s decentralized, one server going down doesn’t mean you can’t see anything, the rest of the network still exists and there are still people using that.

If you don’t have to put up with Nvidia and there’s nothing tying you to X11 I recommend making the jump to Wayland, a lot of these sorts of issues have been solved over there
