Gintama and City, hopefully 2025 is the return of good anime. Gintama and Nichijou are my only 10/10 anime so hopefully these new titles are really good.

without moe i would have yeeted myself off of building already lol

happy moe day

I have been watching Sayonara Zetsubou sensei lately. Also Pani Poni Dash! is an interesting watch.

• Hidamari Sketch
• Lucky Star
• Non Non Biyori
• Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
• Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
• Tanaka kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

Hidamari Sketch is very underrated and is much less well known than it’s contemporaries like Lucky Star, but it’s basically the comfiest thing ever. Any CGDCT/SOL could work for this (Nichijou, Yuyushiki, Kiniro Mozaiku, K-ON!, …) but I specifically chose shows with a slower tempo.

Man I used to do SketchUp all the time in middle/high school, so nostalgic.

I watched a whole show (shikanoko) this season. So yea banger season, almost never happens lol.

Interesting mix of western and eastern calligraphy in the title. They do connect strokes within characters and also between characters (especially in kana shodo), but those flourishes are definitely western.

Me realizing I will be gin-chan’s age not so far into the future (where did the time go):

Also don’t you dare be single if you are a day older than 25 in anime lol.

I thought so, they are probably just milking the popular title with this new stuff.

Crazy, Fairy Tail above nokotan. Sometimes I forget how action brained the average anime fan is. I watched all of FT before this release and I remember nothing from the last 50% of it. I guess they fought a lot or something lol.

As a slice of life guy I don’t really watch long anime anymore. Years ago, Jojos was the last one over 100 ep that I saw. The longest slice of life anime I have seen is the terrific and absolute classic “Hidamari Sketch” coming in at a bit over 60 eps.

I’m not a thinkpad guy, but I thought one reason for people liking old thinkpads is that the old ones came with cpu’s that predate the intel management engine.

As a “sicko” (lol) I must say I don’t really futz around much if at all anymore. There are some differences but all in all I don’t think the Artix experience is much different from the regular Arch one.

Interesting, I never heard of setting your shell in the emulator config. I just used ‘chsh’ once when I setup the install.

Let’s all love Lain!

The biggest difference will be between binary packages and packages that compile from source. Yes, big binary packages like browsers take longer but it really doesn’t take that long. You should be able to quit the compilation without problems. Only after the compilation is done will the package manager be invoked to install the resulting binary.

Vim uses these commands like di" (delete everything inside “”) instead of chords (holding multiple keys down at once). Both work fine. The reason vim does this is that many regard it as more ergonomic. You don’t stretch your hand/fingers out and you can keep your fingers at homerow. You might have heard about people getting an “Emacs Pinky”. It’s basically down to preference. I don’t use emacs but I know people use vim bindings in emacs (emacs is very scriptable after all). That way you can try or integrate vim like bindings without leaving your comfy emacs.

I use fish abbreviations. Unlike bash/zsh aliases, they expand when you press space or enter. This way you see the original command every time you use the alias, and you can edit as well. This should lighten the concern you have a bit. Your concern is something that sysadmins keep in mind e.g. default vim bindings so you are always comfortable on any server. However for desktop use I don’t think leaving the speed and comfort on table is worth it. Most desktop users only use their own systems anyway.

• set a good tty font (it’s almost all you’re gonna see)
• be comfy with basic core utils (mv, cp, chmod, …)
• choose a shell (bash, fish, …) and set up some useful aliases/abbreviations
• fzf or something similar does wonders (also replaces things like dmenu)
• terminal multiplexers are used instead of window managers
• some applications allow you to do some graphics (like mpv to play video)
• there is more advanced stuff you can do with frame buffers
• there are terminal browsers like w3m or lynx
• a good extensible text editor is essential (vim, nvim, emacs, helix, …)
• research some cli applications for your usecase (cal (calendar), neomutt (email), …)

Over time your collection of aliases and scripts will grow to make common tasks you do easier.

Are universities automatically “elitist brain-rot” when they participate in rankings? When it comes to privilege, yes, rich kids that don’t deserve it are accepted into ivy league universities because of the connections they have. This is not a good thing obviously. Most researchers receive the privilege of working there because of their good research done at other universities. That is why they stay on top: a lot of excellent researchers want to join those universities. Obviously MIT has a very good standing when it comes to CS. The dick-measuring contest is but a small part of the university ecosystem. Also, neo-caste system is a quite strong. Most ivy league researchers are probably not rich or powerful. For that you have to look at our “friends” in the C-suite. I understand the sentiment, but I find “hate”, “elitist brain-rot” and “neo-caste system” way too strong.
