    I don’t know which anime those are, but it’s not only about advertising the manga,

    Anime are made by a production committee, which consists of various companies that put money into it and expect something in return. The source material’s publisher is just one of them, and they’re the only ones interested in boosting the source material. But even they might be doing it for some other purpose, like the author’s next work or a spinoff.


  • Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.

    The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn’t be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.

    While it’s of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it’s not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that’s why antitrust laws only target the big ones.

    I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.



  • For example, I finally learned how something works after months of trying to wrap my head around it. Didn’t end up using it for a few months more, and now I forgot it again. I’m back to square one, trying to relearn things I already learned.

    If this is such a frequent problem, start writing down what you’ve learnt. Get a notetaking app (my personal choice is obsidian) and record any knowledge that took you work to acquire. Then next time you need it you can just check your notes and there it is, instead of having to put all that work into it again.



  • With regular search, I have to look through all kinds of results before I find something, and often I have to adjust my search parameters until the search engine even understands what I’m looking for.

    The AI still needs me to actually confirm what it’s saying, but that’s checking 1-3 links, not entire search result pages.

    It’s also just waaaaay easier to talk to my search engine in natural language than keywords imo. I never know what keywords get me to my intended destination, I guess the difference is less big for people that do.



  • Thing is, as I understand, on kbin, you don’t really get a feed of the people you follow like on mastodon.

    There’s no dedicated follow feed, yeah, but I noticed posts and threads of followed accounts showing up in my subscribed feed, even though they were made in a community I’m not subscribed to. So I think the follow and subscribed feeds are probably just merged together currently, or rather “following” a user is being treated as just a flavor synonym for subscribing to a user.


  • kbin can interact with mastodon freely, so if that’s something you want to be able to do easily, you might want to switch over from lemmy.

    I was thinking you can probably open the user’s profile on lemmy and reply to the post from there, but testing that didn’t seem to work. I assume that’s just federation taking a while though, so I’d say try it anyway. Searching for @name@usersmastodoninstance I mean. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.


  • I still use Reddit, I didn’t move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I’ll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.

    There’s still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I’ll stay on reddit. But I’m doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).
