i have never understood why using agab was ever accepted as trans possitive language. like, it's litteraly the type of language transphobes use to categorize us
the whole definition of being trans is that you don't agree with the gender you were asigned at birth!
that one is atrocious but another thing i also find nasty is the amount of disk space new games need. sure, buying more disks is way cheaper than getting more graphical power but downloading +100Gb for a game I might just play once feels like an incredible waste
games should have a lo-fi version where they use lower textures and less graphical features for the people that cannot actually see the difference in graphics after the ps2 era

pretty much every pressident since 1992 has made statements about supporting indigenous people in one way or another just to backstab them with worse reactions. AMLO was specially bad since he did use them as political platform and then continue the common opression every other pressident had done.
Claudia has said many things that sound good in theory but my trust in politicians has complately run dry. this reminds me of the san andres accords, which looked really good but the government decided to betray them bad
will stop seeing posts even if they follow them
wow, is this real? like, what type of social media is it that you can block your own follows without even telling you explicitly. I get the idea of wanting to get automatic block of specific stuff (even if I don't agree) but having blocklists take precedence over something you actively opted in for makes no sense at all
anything with mastodon in it's name tend to be full of twitter users that liked how twitter worked before musk, so it's full of libs everywhere
been watching very few new anime these months so there in not much to write about but i have been reaching a bit into donghuas (chinese animation) and it's honestly quite interesting. will probably try more if i can find something that is not wuxia
Shiguang Dailiren (Link Click) (2020): just an amazing first season. it combines supernatural elements with mystery in daily life events and makes it incredibly interesting. animation is very well done and all the different stories told are very relatable and enjoyable. second season (still hafway through) it's going lots for the "supernatural police mystery" instead, which reduces the relatability of it but it's still quite interesting. have high hopes for this one (there is a 3rd season comming up a some point in the near future)
other animes I'm watching and I'm not sure if I wrote about them on the previous threads:
Ranma 1/2 (2024): everyone is loving the remake except me, by the looks of it. I have a strong connection with this story and I have seen the previous anime and read the manga multiple times so I am heavilly biased. the pacing is my biggest problem with it. i have barely any time to react to any scene since it feels like they adapted the manga panels and just continue with the next one without breathing room. also, the lack of musicalization is very anoying. there is barely music at all so it feels like there is something missing on many scenes. i could probably write a pages-long rant about this but i rather not do it right now
Dandadan (2024): everyone is talking about this one so I feel pressured to say my opinion. i just don't understand why it has soooo much attention (both possitive and negative). it feels very average in many fronts. and while it has good and bad parts, many other anime does it better and worse respectively. maybe I'm burned out of the shounen troupes so I'm missing some readings here and there. musicalization is really good and animation is also good but that is not enough to capture me. i'm slowly watching it so I'm some weeks behind
Dragon Ball Daima (2024): GT2 is fun but reminds me too much of GT (less the latest episodes, but point stands) and I preferred GT over it. I don't really enjoy the new dragon ball but I will continue watching it anyway.
brb, becoming a gamer just to get free estrogen
i have not tried it myself but have you taken a look into zig? it looks alot like go but is lower level. i have heard good things about it and it looks nice. of course the ecosystem is quite limited since it's a quite new language
yearning for a different timeline where this was the actual end of the cold war
decided to try supertuxkart again after dismissing it as a bad game years ago. surprisingly, it's quite entertaining. it still have very rough edges but it's actually fun to play for a bit
i hated them to death while on the school, but my job has been glorified group projects for some years already and i found out the main problem with them was that most people usually cared nothing about the actual project. this alho happens during the work but there people care at least for their individual reviews so it's less painful
been using a kensington one for a couple of years and I don't think i will be able to use a mouse ever again. While this model is not great and it could use some improvements. The whole idea of a trackball is really comfortable
that said, I lost the original ball and it has been incredibly hard to find a proper replacement. we have tried many different ones and they all have downsides that make the experience not great but still better than a mouse
i have been saying this for a while but het people (mostly men) tend to be so far from het that i don't really understand what they stand for anymore
i have a weird thing where even if i have enough time, i just keep finding things that i need to do before leaving. they are usually simple to do but brain defines them as urgent so i cannot just push them for later and they keep me from actually leaving the house until it's late. this becomes worse for things i don't really want to do but have to, so i think it's like a subconcious way i have to cope with the anxiety of leaving or something
it is very funny how gamers were saying that this was the good samurai game because ubisoft went woke and now they are strongly backing away from that because this is also woke...
I had to stop reading manga because my tablet died so I have been unable to continue most of my reads. I have been trying chinese mangha (is the name correct?) and I have been enjoying it more since I'm kind of tired of manga tropes. Regarding anime, with the end of the season and the start of the new one, there is not much to talk about yet. I also got a bit burned out from anime in general so I have not watched as much as I usually do. Some highlights from the old season are:
Dead Demons Dededede Destruction - Amazing show. Engaging in every moment from the beginning to almost the end. Great characters and subtle societal comentary about migration and liberalism. Didn't really like the ending tho. I understand why it went that way but it felt more like a cop out than a proper resolution. I haven't read the manga yet so it might be a presentation problem (why does ep 0 even exist???).
Oshi no Ko 2 - Adaptation of my least liked (debatible) arc from the manga and I enjoyed even then. The anime art decisions were really good and make it more engaging than I can remember feeling when reading the manga. Story is still a mess and I can complain about it a lot but at least it was fun. Also, I was getting very tired of this last manga arc so I'm not really missing it but I have heard good opinions of the last episodes so I might try to start reading again soon
Senpai wa Otokonoko - I really liked the start but I slowly started disliking most things about it. I am aware that expecting good queer representation in anime is hard but even then I got disapointed. Worst part is that I read the manga a couple of years ago and was disapointed even then. I really need to start handling my expectations better.
Old anime I'm watching:
Rockman.EXE - It's a kids anime but it has something that is hard to replicate. The vision of the internet in that era was really fun and interesting. It reminds me a lot about Digimon. I'm enjoying this alot but thinking that it has 5 seasons of ~50 episodes is making me wonder where am I going to stop.
ODDTAXI - Rewatched it recently to watch the live action spinnoff and it's amazing how good it is. Characters are great and their whole interaction is wacky and weird but very enjoyable. Spinoff is simply bad so no comments.
Movies:
Blue Giant - Simple story but amazing concert animations and incredible music. It was probably one of the best animated experiences I have ever had and I loved every single second of it. For whoever enjoys jazz, this is something I would completely recommend
i don't think it's a secret anymore. a big chunk of their personality is just that
i will challenge this idea every time I see it. The benefits that you get with it are good but usually quite overkill for the needs of a home cluster. Services that balances across nodes, no downtime, software defined storage; all of those stuff is nice and fun but most of the home clusters don't really need them.
kubernetes is quite complex and it's very hard to handle when you don't have all the necesary knowledge and experience to do so. it's very easy to misconfigure things and errors are often very hard to find when you don't know where to look. there are other projects that try to have a simpler version of the "cluster orchestration" (nomad, swarm, portainer and others. haven't tried all of them so I might be wrong) but they are also complex on it's own way and have their own share of problems.
my recomendation is that, unles you are planning to work on it and want to get more experience, you should start with smaller things (podman + systemd, regular docker, maybe start managing systems with ansible) and slowly build new things over what you already have. this has the benefit of letting you learn the basics slowly so that if you ever jump to the kubernetes bandwagon you will have more knowledge that will help the experience to be better
