@Protoman64 Just a test message from friendica please don’t mind 😅
I didn’t knew Friendica could interact with Lemmy. For whatever reason Lemmy and Kbin had been in their own corner of the fediverse.
@Protoman64 Kbin has a separate interface for microblogging and groups, that’s why it’s not that obvious. For Lemmy, well, there’s no type of blogging to begin with.
Friendica really shines in this regard, as it has the ability to interact with both groups and regular people in the same feed, while the posts are also clearly marked as such. 😁
No worries! Also from Friendica
One head off, two new coming. And if we have to send USB Sticks with the stuff! Id rather get Carrier pigeons than stop pirating!
It’s Cubano StreetNet and SneakerNet all over again.
Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.
High latency, low bandwidth and package loss but at least it works.
Where do you see low bandwidth? Maybe over long distances but if I can give a pigeon a 1TiB USB stick and send it to the next city I bet it will be faster than uploading the data. If it arrives that is
Damn you’re right. But still, optic fiber would be faster in most situations.
People seem to always forget, that pigeons only know their way home. So you still need to get your pigeon(s) to the person sending the data with the pigeon back to you, in which case you can just pickup the data now that you’re there yourself.
I mean you have to have a monthly pidgin exchange (maybe tie the pidgins to the last pidgin to reset)
At that point, why waste time with the pigeons? You have to meet anyway, just make it a data exchange instead and skip the pigeons completely. That also eliminates risk of packet loss with pigeons never arriving.
When you can meet once every half year why would you meet monthly or once a week? Also, you can secretly tell the meeting point over pidgin.
At least they didn’t hit keiyoushi.
What’s keiyoushi? Can you use it for anime like Aniyomi.
When Tachiyomi went down I migrate to Aniyomi and have since them enjoyed the anime feature. It’s still working, but it’ll be such a pain to migrate all my anime and manga library.
Extension library for Tachiyomi forks. No idea if it works with Aniyomi.
I don’t get what the manga publishers aim to achieve from this. I’ve bought official translation paper versions of like 20 manga series that I’ve read through scanlations. If I didn’t read the scanlations, there is no way I would ever buy them let alone read them.
There is absolutely no fucking way I would pay per episode like publishers want digitally. They put the dumbest restrictions like I can’t screenshot, I’ll need to pay if I want to access it and all that crap. That’s absolutely not happening. People don’t start reading new manga that way.
It’s probably old farts making decisions based what they learned from “the good old days”. For many Japanese, that was the 80s. This means over-attachment to analog methods and physical objects. It’s cultural inertia that won’t phase out quickly.
That said, I love having the physical paper tankobon or physical figurines! I’ve even bought blu-ray boxes of anime series I love, so that u can actually have/own my own copy of the episodes and support the creators as well!
It may sound strange coming from a programmer and gamer, but streaming or even buying digitally just isn’t the same thing.
Online friends of mine from Japan often feel the same way, too. I really get the feeling that, at least among Japanese otakus, physical copies and merch is still something they value a great deal more than Western otakus/fans.
Absolutely. I love paper books and physical collectibles. The problem I was talking about is being forced to the old methods instead of using modern technologies, like only being able to send an application form by physical mail instead of online.
Hail hydra.
