Btw, I finally decided to commit to learning Japenese since my friend wants to take N4 JLPT. I'm not sure whether I want to take the exam yet but I shouldn't rot for too long so I decided to study together.

I stopped studying Japanese after I started working and thereafter I relied on informal learning but it wasn't moving things fast enough.

Don't worry the bot is still otw o7 ~~i just have a fear of manually testing my own code~~

[-] cendawanita@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Good luck! I'm still learning after decades 😭

[-] Naomikho@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been learning for a long time too lol. I knew the very simple stuff since high school, but I never really learnt much until the past few years.

It's actually pretty hard to learn without an accountability partner. Back when another friend of mine was studying for N4, I was studying too(N5), but I stopped halfway.

Informal learning is also a great way if you're not preparing for JLPT. I can somewhat communicate if I'm not writing in formal Japanese, albeit with very limited prose.

I should revisit akiyama ryohei sensei's videos on Japanese grammar.

[-] cendawanita@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

It's true, you definitely need some kind of partner, I'm mostly stuck at N4 level but it's still annoying that spoken/vernacular Japanese is different enough that my comprehension is worse than French, and I only learned that much later, and written Japanese is generally a challenge because I didn't grow up with Chinese literacy skills lololol. All these years and I still have the real world level of a toddler imo haih

[-] Naomikho@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, written and spoken Japanese are quite different especially if it's among friends. XD I think I'm somewhere around the end of A2 in marugoto. I stopped at A2-4 which is actually halfway of N4, but I've forgotten lots of terms that I normally don't use and informal language doesn't help me with grammar exercises haha

The older I get, the more I appreciate moments of stillness

Oh and the chance for a midday nap too 😴

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

And the silence.

Going through my old stuff and found my ex’s break up letter to me. Legit couldn’t remember anything about it, I think I was too afraid to read it.

I hate how even in the break up letter she managed to gas light me after admitting that she had anger issues and that she hurt me and my family.

In some ways I have also achieved a bit of closure. I was under the impression she’s got zero remorse when she ghosted me 7 years ago. Younger me just didn’t know about my self-worth and didn’t know how to establish boundaries.

Also found some of the gifts that I gave her (she returned it during one of the “breakups”), including a Fujifilm Instax and some film. Wanted to chuck it but I think I could use some cold hard cash by selling it.

Woah, okay, so Mali gov is reclaiming the .ml domain which mean lemmy.ml will be gone as well. I wonder if they can just rehost whatever they have into a new domain

[-] zenyet@mitra.076.moe 2 points 1 year ago

from what I heard, it won't me easy, but it would be one real stress test for federation. hopefully, we don't have to block them out while they're migrating. I wonder if perhaps it would be better for them to just start over with a clean slate.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

It would be hard to restart i believe, they have to rebuild the communities and all that.

[-] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They shouldn't have to. Their server is intact, only the server address is unreachable forever.

Like your house still stands, but your street name is suddenly gone from all street signs and maps.

The problem is for the entire ActivityPub fediverse that identifies instances by domain names. If a server moved their domain they had to have a way to broadcast the name change to all the other instances. Mastodon had a way to this; Lemmy has none.

It's like you getting a new phone number and you have to ask everyone in your contacts to change your number in their address books.

[-] zenyet@mitra.076.moe 2 points 1 year ago

>If a server moved their domain they had to have a way to broadcast the name change to all the other instances.

even if lemmy had a way to do this, doing it for all the users at lemmy.ml would create a large load of federated network traffic between instances, and at the level of a single instance it would cause a lot of database changes (I've heard that the sql schema for lemmy isn't very optimized).

also, as activitypub doesn't prioritize synchronization (unlike git and matrix), there could be a lot of desynchronized state, with the name change of users reaching some instance but not others.

it would be interesting if lemmy.ml really went the clean slate way (and I think the original intention of the devs in running that instance was just to test their code, not to have it become a "flagship" instance), it would sure showcase a valuable lesson in the fediverse…that you shouldn't rely too much on big instances (there is no huge facebook/twitter/reddit-like thing here).

but at the moment it's generating a lot of server load as is, proportional to how many users on .ml instances are subscribed. every time a post is created or a comment added, the server software tries to post updates to the unreachable instances and fails, filling up the error logs.

if an instance migration tool is on the roadmap, now's the best time and use case to re-prioritize and fast track it. any work the lemmy dev's not taking on on this issue would be work for the admins of all the other instances.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

I mean restart in clean slate, but yeah i feels like they won't take that path.

Today's r/place hate for Reddit's CEO is real, especially from r/de

Spez, du Hurensohn!

[-] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

whoa!

It;s not really good idea to go join because reddit is trying to bolster its activity to look good unless you're still holding on to reddit and trying to make it work fuck spez

[-] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

there used to be a giant guillotine chopping off snoo-spez's head on the French flag, but mods of r/place has a super brush tool that constantly erases it.

[-] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

found it

[-] truckdrifter2@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Viva la liberte?

[-] weecious@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Rightfully deserved. We all know this is a PR move to pull people back.

[-] Naomikho@monyet.cc 4 points 1 year ago

How does one stay sane when things are just impossible to finish? I'm tired of getting gaslighted by management.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There there ( ･_･)ﾉ(._.`)

Do your best, because tomorrow saturday haha

[-] Naomikho@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

My brain ady holiday mood weh, past few days OT dy now don't feel like crunching already.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago

Today balik on time and sleep early then. If boss ask just say got dinner, and if he wanna argue, stare at him like this ( ≖_≖)

🙈

[-] Naomikho@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

😂 good idea

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Tell me the result later 🙈

[-] Naomikho@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

Nah I'll prolly just bolt out XD

[-] rakyat@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Sometimes I have more fun from other people giving more reactions when the movie is just ok or bad for me.

Okay, it's an app issue.

[-] zenyet@mitra.076.moe 1 points 1 year ago

@cendawanita not all is well with firefish.

I really hope we do not see a repeat of that phoenix ➡️ firebird ➡️ firefox saga that mozilla had.

[-] cendawanita@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aha! Lol i was reading up on it -- there's some legal leeway imo but otoh one of my fedi mutuals (a futual??) mmg long time low-key sideeye the whole rebranding for management history issues (and tbh they're the only reason I even am this up to speed with the various interplays of the various players)!

It'll be interesting to see what happens next. The biggest booster is a Canadian but he's not actually a dev for this. The actual dev is barely 20 yo tak silap (si kainoa tu). Most of the crew aren't corporate or corporate-trained, so lagilah kalau terkena anything I also dk (eta: like related to when FB approached some of them to berdiskusi pre-Threads launch; most of these guys... tak pernah kena tipu, is all I'll say about it). Hopefully the power and privilege of being European is gonna help somehow.

We should totes recommend ikandipecat tho 😆
