@codewiz Maybe it needs to pass some manual check from youtube or such, I can not spot it among the comments. 26 comments are listed for me.

@codewiz Sounds like good content for the comment section of the video ;)
I think I saw this before done with an 8086 or such, but IIRC just streamed from a file on a media. When I did the badapple@mp3player animation, I also just streamed from a prepared file as the animation would never change.

Great hack: running youtube on the Commodore Pet:

#japan expects power shortage this summer and asks to save power:
- set aircon to 28deg.
- not keep the fridge door open longer than needed
- not use the dryer
Following TV, people seem to take that call seriously.. but there is much room for improvement in offices. Aircon turned to freeze level, light turned on even when not used.

Fascinating day at a tea farm, most interesting:
- tea plants last ~50 years, so basically one farmer plants them and hands them over to his children
- there are 2 harvests per year
- the rumour that tea from plastic bottles sold at convenience stores/drink machines is from China is not true, that's mostly tea grown in Japan

I'm happy with my Pixel 4a's pictures, but it's also a serious downside so much happens in the (closed) camera app: I moved back from LineageOS because the pictures were so bad..

@dazinism
Thanks for the hint! My experiences were from last year, maybe time to look again.
@tagomago @codewiz

We get a 'recharge day' all 3 month, mine was today. Cycled to the KDDI museum, they are one of the huge communication providers here in Japan.
They are closed on weekends, so today was just right. Very much recommended!

@tagomago Which platform, which kind of floppies?

Japan has shrines in the middle of streets: https://www.spoon-tamago.com/2022/05/20/japan-jijinto-shrines/

I like exploring new super markets, a friend took me today to the Costco wholesaler: one needs to be member there, or existing members bring in a visitor.
A bit like metro in Germany: big packages in general, brands otherwise not seen in Japan, and everything available from food over electronics and clothes.
I got brownies, marshmallows, Nori (dried seaweed), and Hawaii style sweets.

@codewiz No, just knowing you play it and might want to see this. In case you don't see the original post: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/73feb8ef-8b73-49da-b076-ca7bd6f0908b

@bekopharm Wondering if @codewiz approves the setup ;)

Nice idea: sticking neon lights to books to give the impression of an illuminated city:

Wow. Someone considers https://sputniknews.com so evil that blocking DNS is not enough, but null routing is required.. Works from Japan though.

has a great overview of Japans power plants.
Click with left onto the characters saying ここをクリックするとマップを表示します to see the map.

火力 means that coal/gas are burned, Tokyo is surrounded by ~20 of these power plants..

@tagomago
I saw people on twitter approaching that in opening multiple twitter-accounts whom one could follow all together or separated, and just boost topicwise into each of these.
Feels strange though, I would divide my content into 'Japan', 'opensource' and 'other' maybe.

I also see parallels to - - verbose switch of unix tools. The one writing something would have to decide "this is important" or "not", and readers could say "just give me important stuff".
@eriol

@tagomago I might unfollow some (you are one of the more verbose ones, btw ;), and put their updates as rss-feed into my 'tiny tiny rss' instance.
Might be worth trying if the feeds there are easier to read.

@eriol
An other point is that one is not seen as follower. Sometimes follower numbers are interesting to see bot accounts.

Hm.. tinytinyrss might actually have good infrastructure to deal with that. One can do a section with feeds of mastodon users, and also have updates in that section expire/get removed if one did not read them for X days.

I'm actually proud we have these choices - on twitter you can just 'eat it all', all updates from accounts.
@tagomago

@tagomago
Yea.. also the web interface for me always shows latest, so in the morning I scroll back for half a minute, and start reading. I wonder how others cope with this.
The obvious solution is to unfollow least interesting people.
