I don't think flashcards are working for me.
  • Anki works great for me. I bought some kanji books and added Anki collections made from those books.

    Using the book for studying and Anki for reviewing really boosted how much I retained what I learnt, without the hassle of creating cards myself (I'm just lazy)

    Apple Maps launches on the web to challenge Google Maps
  • I didn't know Kagi had a maps functionality. It's interesting, but I couldn't find a way for it to tell me public transportation directions, the only reason I keep using Google Maps...

    Am I the only one whose "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn?
  • This is what I wanted to comment. I added this list and it works like a charm.

    I was getting side tracked by these YouTube shorts all the time and it started becoming an issue. They are too addictive and mostly just void.

    Movie adaptations of your favorite IP
  • I tried watching it as an alternative universe from Halo, but the way they plainly portrayed the fall of Reach was so dull and fast that I had to stop there.

    It was just like whoops, Covenant came, we can't do anything other than a dozen soldiers fighting in the city. Another planet, let's move on 🤷‍♂️

    Voyager for Apple Watch is amazing
  • Sorry for the ignorance, but what kind of uses does it have on a watch?

    Is it for scrolling through your feed in the watch screen? Is it good?

    [Weekly thread] How is your week going? 22-01-2024
  • It was a very good week! I had a session with my psychologist where I got to undersand with her a few aspects about my present life.

    It feels good to actively understand those issues. Now that I'm aware of them, i can start taking some actions.

    Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
  • If you care about installing custom roms, then don't buy a Zenfone yet. Asus has us in the wait for the bootloader unlock tool for a year now, and I lost hope already :/

  • I was just playing around, of course haha

    But it would be good to have a way to develop services like this but don't get corrupted by money so easily

  • Yeah, I was daring my luck, in case someone had enough motivation to implement it technically. With so many good social apps in the fediverse.

    If your only tool is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail

  • I recently moved to a Asus Zenfone 10 from my Google Pixel 6 pro, and Zenfone's size is great.

    I missed having a phone that fits well in my hands and pocket and doesn't feel like carrying a brick.

    I agree that Pixels are great. Good cameras and performance, but 95% of the time outside I just need access to my chats and Google Maps.

    I wished that there were more flagship options that are not so big!

    There's a dish in Japan called 親子丼(おやこどん) which is a chicken + eggs rice bowl. 親子(おやこ) can be translated as parent and child, which was a bit disturbing the first time I knew about it.

    This week, I didn't have chicken to prepare it so I searched for alternatives and found two:

    • 他人丼(たにんどん)which replaces chicken with pork and means strangers haha. Also called 継子丼(ママコどん) meaning stepmom bowl.
    • 開花丼(かいかどん)which is the beef version. Meaning "blooming" bowl.

    Do you know any other interestingly named dishes like this?

    For example in this episode's poem:

    > 天(そら)に響めく(どよめく) まやかしの > > 捉う心(とらうこころ)にはしる旋律(せんりつ)

    For me it's interesting that the kanji used for そら (sky/heaven) is not the usual 空 but 天 which is never read そら, usually read てん, but it conveys the meaning of heaven more than 空.

    I've seen Bleach doing it several times in the poems
