I can't stand dubs, I think that japanese VA are a lot better. Anyway, I have been reading subs since I was 8 years old so I read them so fast that it doesn't bother me.

Israel became worse than Hamas. I'm not saying Hamas are the good guys, both sides have killed civilians.

I know a few Argentinians and since I live in Chile I know a lot about what's going on there. They have a lot of useless ministers for almost everything, at this point the previous government could have easily added the 'ministry of non-important matters' Their state manages the education really bad, many Argentinians complain about that, all those things managed by the state work really bad and are fueled by taxes. I agree that Milei's ideas are crazy, but seeing the options in Argentina, he was the less bad option there.

Imagine a state sucking almost every currency from every citizen just to fuel useless state institutions. I hope Argentina will recover with this change.

Thanks to the damn notifications now I HATE modern phones, I have uninstalled nearly every app from my phone, deleted mail accounts and set some tools to make my phone a normal phone again, nowdays smartphones are just a source of annoying ads. I installed an app (I think the name is minimalist phone) and it has a function to create a "box" for low priority notifications.

I have been using it a lot lately, I did not know about that thanks to Firefox + Ublock

Everytime US users call their country 'America' it sounds weird. America is a continent, not a country.

firefox based browsers, ublock, and I avoid using google accounts.

As the title says. I have been searching for something like Kodi but more focused on an offline library manager for all the media I have. I can just navigate with the file explorer through my folders but it just looks not that pretty. Is there anything like a library manager to display my videos/music in a similar way of big online platforms? Since I have a lot of things to watch on my drive I don't actually use much internet lately and I'm searching for something like a good looking UI, but probably I'm not very good at searching :(

Do you know a anything like that?

My social skills are probably near null, I avoid interaction and just say just the bare minimum of words. And I get talkative then all I speak is about tech, science or history. Edit: And I'm actually fine as single.

If you eat them, how many as a limit per day? I have tried to put a limit of 10 for day but those cookie are just too delicious.

That's why I like old offline games like Skyrim, the only updates I get are mods and when I want. Or I can just turn updates off.

Mine was at the beginning to be able to read Visual Novels, but now is more than that, I like to learn more and there are few sensations like understanding new "symbols" as words.

I have been reading a few VNs since the last years but I have not found any recommendation about a Visual Novel about vampires. If you know a good VN about vampires please recommend me one (I like stories about vampires)

I found about this a few months ago, it's a free tool that makes the task of managing the internet access of programs a easy one. For example, you can select exactly which process can access the internet manually, of course blocking some system things on windows will disable the connection totally until reactivated.

With this I can prevent apps from updating when I don't need it them online.

Each time you execute a new program if it tries to connect to the internet it will be blocked by simplewall and ask you if allow or not.

It is compatible with windows 7 and higher versions.

You should read how to use it and what it does before installing it.

The program is open source and it's on GitHub: https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall

The world failed to take action against climate change, now they're going to be late to take action to the adaptation of civilization to a dangerous environment. Too late to stop climate change, it's time to think about adapting to a new environment.

When I mean learning I do not mean translating big sentences or something like that, I mean things like: "Is this japanese sentence correctly written? 雲の日が好きです" In this example it answered: "

Yes, the Japanese sentence "雲の日が好きです" is correctly written. It translates to "I like cloudy days" in English. Here's a breakdown of the sentence:

  • 雲 (くも/kumo): This means "cloud."
  • の (no): This is a possessive particle that indicates the relationship between "cloud" and "day" in this context.
  • 日 (ひ/hi): This means "day."
  • が (ga): This is a subject marker particle that marks "cloudy day" as the subject of the sentence.
  • 好きです (すきです/suki desu): This means "like" or "to like" and is a polite way of expressing one's preference. The verb 好き (suki) means "to like," and です (desu) is a polite copula used to indicate politeness and formality.

Therefore, the sentence "雲の日が好きです" correctly conveys the meaning "I like cloudy days" in Japanese.

"

Is this correct,do you consider it reliable?

Sometimes I also ask some questions like: "What function does 'こと' grammatically fulfill on this sentence? .... "

(Sorry if my english is wrong)

Hello, I have been learning japanese on my own for a few months now (Reading Genki, WaniKani, PDFs, etc) . My main goal for now is to reach a good level to use Visual novels (In japanese of course) with Yomichan + Textractor to learn new vocab.

I have been reading about this on the internet and many people says that Visual novels often lack normal vocab or they use unusual vocab.
Is there any Visual novel with formal vocabulary and that you would recommend?

Thanks.

We should go and save the useful info to re-post it here, it's a good opportunity to migrate all the information.

I think it would be better to open it for just a few minutes to save all the useful posts and then save them on some cloud, most info is just text, it would be easy to store.
