  • What is your internet White-Whale?

    Jump

  • For years, mine was this gif I saw on UsVsTh3m in 2013. It had no context, and the only hint to its origin was the barely legible "29. 暑〜い!" overlay. I had a guess that this was from a Japanese TV talent show. I wanted to find the original video, but the trail went cold.

    Years later, I don't know how, I heard of a series of Japanese TV specials called Kesou Taishou, known overseas as Masquerade. UsVsTh3m got bought by the Mirror and their post was taken down, but I still had the gif. My Google Translate research skills had improved, so I looked up Masquerade on Japanese Wikipedia and searched all the episode guides for 暑〜い!, and in the shows from 2007, I found it! It was entry 29 in the 78th special, and it won third place there.

    I try not to post things that don't have a legal source, so I quietly updated my blog post and didn't mention it anywhere else. Until...

    Three months ago, my partner started getting YouTube recommendations for this show. I checked, and the show's new official YouTube channel had just uploaded this performance a few days earlier. I made a better gif of it and posted it to [email protected] , and they liked it!

  • Holy crap, that sucks! Why can't those scrapers just scrape each other? I'm sorry, I didn't want to pressure you to open up to that kind of abuse. I want to think of ways to help this situation, but you're probably 10 steps ahead of me. Thank you for trying so hard.

  • 5.71MB is plenty generous. I'd give up 5MB of that if we could have anonymous browsing again. I can't recommend Mbin to people if they have to log in to see anything. Would converting all uploads to WebP lighten the load?

  • I'm on @[email protected] 's cursed Mbin instance, and I can upload GIFs as images. The upload filesize limit here is 6,000,000 bytes with the drawback that I can't upload in better formats like MP4 or WebP.

  • How's my alt text?

    Jump

  • Have vision-impaired users of Lemmy settled on an app or a front-end to use? I'm an Mbin user, so I don't get to mess with those apps very much.

  • How's my alt text?

    Jump

  • Thank you; this is good feedback. Mbin pulled my alt text from my other recent post of this artwork, so it lost where I said this is Summer heat by Wenjun Lin. Sorry about that!

    It took me a little bit to understand this surreal scene, and then to look up the two main characters' names and where they're from. In his descriptions, the artist was mostly concerned with telling us this is a crossover between his own characters and a Tencent mascot. I didn't actually describe them very much, since the real draw here is the strange free-standing block of water with fish inside, and then Little Song swimming even though she isn't visibly in the water herself. Maybe I should describe the situation first, and then the characters in it.

  • How do I survive a work day without caffeine?

    Jump

  • Yes, chocolate, for its caffeine content. The darker, the better.

  • Bubble Show: 60s by ShowKsyu

    Jump

  • I saw ~somewhere~ on her Telegram that the show is 7-10 minutes long, plus 20 minutes of interactive bubble activities. It's only $185 USD, but that's assuming she can get to you from Kaliningrad, Russia.

  • My first thought is that someone else brought the two of us here to kill us. They already got this stranger, and they're coming back to kill me too.

    So, I'd quietly gather some survival supplies and sneak out of the house. Once I can hide far enough away from the house, I'd find a phone and call the police.

    It doesn't even cross my mind that I could be the killer until someone accuses me of it. I've never met that person, so why would I even lay a finger on them? I'd just tell people what I know as accurately as I can. No, I don't know how I got there, honest!

  • Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?

    Jump

  • Whether you decide to fight or flee, I won't judge you. Do what makes sense for you and your loved ones. This is a difficult decision. Don't let Lemmy guilt trip you over it.

    I have a family and kids that need me. I'll support the resistance where I can, but I can't fight on the front lines. I'm lucky I'm not a target of this administration yet, but if we go out and protest, we may become targets.

    In recent years, my family has been getting our passports together and fulfilling requirements to get jobs in another country. If things get violent in my hometown, we can flee across the border. I'll do whatever it takes to keep my family safe.

    If I was alone and no one depended on me, I'd disappear into the resistance. Somewhere, there's a cache of vintage World War II weapons that would love to fight Nazis again. But, I'm honestly not the gun nut type.
