  • I have the same issue with my switch, I usually mash the button for its port on my receiver remote until the other devices give up but about 10% of the time that refuses to work and I have to redock.

    Exploitation rule
  • Burnout is a symptom of exploitation but not all burnout comes from exploitation. You can burn out from non-work activities like caregiving. You can burn out as a business owner or a member of a worker-owned co-op. You can burn out at a job that only expects healthy hours because you're an overachiever who refuses to take time off.

    Favorite Genndy Tartakovsky show?
  • I thought it was pretty good, there's a lot going on in the plot so it takes a little bit to get rolling but it's pretty thought-provoking at times.

    TIL that the trend of anime's signature large eyes started from mangaka Osamu Tezuka's works, who himself was influenced by Disney and Betty Boop cartoons, and fashion designer Jun'ichi Nakahara's wor
  • It's pretty common not to have heard of his works, Astro Boy is the only one that made it over to the West but it's never gotten a ton of attention. I remember the 2003 series got some play on Saturday mornings and Toonami but it was really short-lived.

    Pluto which came out on Netflix late last year is a reinterpretation of an Astro boy arc that's done fairly well.

    MAPPA also made a great anime adaptation of Dororo a few years ago but it mostly flew under the radar.

    Looking for non-isekai reincarnation manga where a boy gets reincarnated as a girl
  • Not quite what you're looking for but Pretty Face is a great "I'm not really trans but I have to be for flimsy excuse" manga.

    It's about a guy who gets in an accident that puts him in a coma for a year and is so badly mangled he needs his whole face rebuilt. The doctor who saves him has no idea what he looked like so he builds him a face based on a photo of his crush that was in his pocket. As it turns out, his crush has a missing twin sister so he decides to impersonate her to keep his crush happy while he searches for her real sister.

    While the MC never explicitly identifies as trans in the text, there's a bunch of supporting subtext for it. He slowly gets more and more used to being seen as a girl and isn't in the biggest rush to get his old face back even after he finds a photo of himself for the doctor to use as a reference.

    UNPRECEDENTED: Aging boomer retires to free up job for someone younger
  • That's pretty fitting with Gen-X's reputation of being the generation that gave up on having influence on the state of the world. As a millennial constantly stressing about the impact I'm having on things, that sometimes sounds like a really sensible choice.

    does anyone use a modern screen-foldable phone as their regular phone?
  • I've been using a z fold3 since it came out. I've had to replace the screen once (under warranty) and replace the stock screen protectors but I still love it and plan to get another foldable whenever it kicks the bucket.

  • the crease is extremely noticeable and is filled with dust and debris

    Your relative needs his screen protector replaced. Some people just take it off and live dangerously.

    Whenever I try to post an image this morning, the upload fails no matter what browser/client/frontend I use with:

    Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out

    Also this shows a popup with SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON but I assume that's a bug with the lemmy frontend since voyager shows the correct error.
