i have a layman’s understanding of AT Proto, but it seems to compartmentalize between different parts of the service. Front ends, databases, and backends can be hosted separately and amalgamate into one, in the abstract.

Practically, however, AT Proto allows account portability, wherein users can swap what instance they use as a frontend on a whim, even if their home instance is down. Usernames are domains instance of username@domain, that are verified by the DNS. But AT Proto seems a lot less flexible than ActivityPub. We’ll have to see when federation is live, but I’m not sure it really suits anything beyond (micro)blogging.

Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).

Goodbye Adobe Acrobat Reader, v1 Nintendo Switches, all home PCs, Android phones, and web browsers,

If you do, I’d be interested to hear results. Deluge’s plugins are nice and it’s easy to make your own. If it wasn’t for the performance issues, I’d likely still be there.

Ya, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I’m on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.

Granted, I’ve not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I’d love to be corrected if so.

uTorrent doesn’t play well in the landscape of the modern bittorrent protocol. It’s also adware, infringes upon your privacy, and is a malware risk.

qBittorrent is my client of choice, but other popular and great clients are Deluge (only up to ~500 torrents), transmission, and rtorrent (on Linux). There’s other clients as well but YMMV, especially if you do any private tracker usage.

I will no longer be moderating this community. Please use !anime@ani.social.

So far, my list is looking like:

Sasaki and Peeps
Tis Time For “Torture,” Princess
Delicious in Dungeon
Solo Leveling
Gushing Over Magical Girls
Mr Villain’s Day Off
7th Time Loop
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic
My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered
Fluffy Paradise

I’ll probably also watch, at the minimum:

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp
Metallic Rouge
Urusei Yatsura S2
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer
Tales of Wedding Rings
A Sign of Affection
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil
Mashle: Magic and Muscles (just need to finish S1 first)

Oh ya, this was amazing tbh. It just kept climbing with all the elements it threw in. In particular, I love the idea of there being two “magic” systems that operate independently in fundamentally distinct ways.

“Cult Apple haters” is a goofy phrase and doesn’t exist. Maybe people who swear off / boycott Apple, but a cult? Goofy.

Try Seven Mortal Sins.

I personally find them both useful. Well, Tiktok specifically not youtube shorts.

My thing with tiktok is that their content recommendation algorithm is best-in-class at knowing what sort of content I want, and it starts edging away from what I want, just marking stuff as “not interested” a few times will bring it back in line. By modulating my behaviours on certain types of content (i.e. making choices over whether to watch or skip, mark as “not interested”, view comments, comment myself), I can customize an algorithmic feed that delivers what I want.

Granted this is quite an amount of work to use a “social media app”, unlike the other platforms, it’s possible and it’s good.

Youtube (long-form) I think is extremely useful when I’m looking for something in-particular, especially if it’s something that doesn’t age very much. Guides and tutorials, let’s plays, retrospectives, etc. They both fit better with the long-form content, and are much easier to find on Youtube than Tiktok.

The content recommendation algorithm of Tiktok is what makes me use it, while the discovery of specific content and access to longer form content is what makes me use Youtube.

Ya, no pirate worth their salt would risk it at this point. It’s so infested with malware, with seemingly no moderation, and no meaningful original releases.

Because I’d rather it be ruined quickly by low quality than ruined over the course of 3 years by a shit release schedule. I’m extremely pessimistic of the anime at this point because of how much they fucked up its ending by calling it Final Season and continuing to push “Final” more and more over 3 years.

At least PN2 was just a few episodes before I realized “oh I don’t really care about this”, rather than my disdain being pulled out of me by whatever idiot decided this was the way.

I literally would have preferred it to be a Promised Neverland Season 2 than this release schedule.

I think the biggest mistake was naming it Final Season to be honest

This is it. They should not have named it final season. Once they named it final season, that was an expectation set, and they keep on changing the expectation in the most annoying way. I would have preferred them cram everything into a terrible final season than edging us like this for 3 years.

I dropped the series at ep 11 of final season when I learned it was gonna have a final season part 2. Maybe in a few years I’ll go back and finish it off, but fuck, this release schedule has really soured me on the series.

I really liked the little idol scene with Filo. I’d love to see more of that between seasons.

I like that the story mixes things up. It never really seems to lean too much into the laid-back chill, the emotional hits, or the action for very long, before proceeding to something else. I think it works really well for the series and continuing to be an increasingly engaging and interesting story.

Is there a part of bluesky that’s under an impermissive license?
