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)

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...

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.

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 🤷‍♂️

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?

It's ironic how it injected an ad in "ad blocker" in the summary

There is a website I discovered recently for doing text summaries of YouTube videos.

https://www.summarize.tech

This video was also posted on YouTube, so here you can see a summary:

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

How about a fediverse dating service? 😏

I mean yes, it's a way to solve playing offline videos, but it doesn't seem to stop there. I found that codecs for playing videos on Firefox are also missing

I could install Chrome as well or hack my way, but it makes me want to recommend the distro to beginners even less

I just installed fedora a couple of days ago and this happens to me too...

I guess I'll try a different distro 🤷‍♂️ it was being a nice experience until I tried to play a video

 

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
