I don’t have a problem with anti cheats. I just hate the ones blocking Linux on purpose.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

no, absolutely not.

Is it normal that some studios draw anime girls without bras so their nipples are visible? This happens mostly with hentai and ecchi, but I’ve seen some that aren’t any of those but still do this. I don’t remember any girls in the streets going out without a bra at least in my real virgin life

Asudox,

It is art.

I visit 4chan a few times a month. The only thing I remember all the time is their soramimi cake 4chan version

I do see it weird but publishing on F-Droid means almost nothing. If you are scared of their pre-built apks, compile from source instead. If Telegram and Signal are bad, use SimpleX.

The NTSYNC driver should be merged for emulating Windows NT synchronization primitives for speeding up Windows games running on Wine / Steam Play (Proton). (Update:) But it looks like so far only the basic NTSYNC driver patches are in char-misc-next and currently not the entire complete series.

Very nice. Gaming on Linux slowly starts to be no problem at least for me.

Well PlayStation staff member, it definitely isn’t having people create another account when they already have a Steam account.

I’m pretty sure that I/someone could just fork this project once it’s done and make a few changes to it to make it a audiovisual content tracker.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

No, have you read the body text? I am planning to create an anime/manga tracker, I’m not looking for one.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll crosspost there later.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Is there a good reason why? Even MAL takes user submissions.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Ok cool, so even when that is out of the way, are the images copyrighted? Because I’d like to download the images and host them on my servers.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Guess I can download and host them in the EU as this project won’t be commercial.

@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I see. I can use the Jikan API to scrape animes and mangas which will take approximately 1-2 days after I get approval then. Oh and I forgot to mention, the federation part isn’t really how people think it will be I guess. The only federation that will be done will be the reviews, threads and the comments in them. With every anime/manga/vn, etc. being a new community which will contain those threads and reviews. And because of that, I don’t really know if this project is something people would want to self host. I guess I could provide full dumps of the database every month or something but I suppose that would be expensive. Then there are images as well, which will take hundreds of GBs easily even in compressed form.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

It is, but I have no choice other than that if I can’t scrape websites.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh sorry.

Asudox, (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, though I am not sure how the federated instance admins would react. I am planning for every anime, manga, vn, etc. to have their own communities. This means about over 100k communities being made in an instant. Maybe instead of creating the communities in an instant, creating them when user activity first happens would be more fit. But this would also restrict other platforms’ users being able to comment on never heard or new anime entries until someone from the anime tracking platform comments or reviews them.

Thanks btw.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

That seems like a good idea. I’ll keep it in mind.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Wouldn’t Internet Archive be a bit slow? And also, I don’t want to stress their servers.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks.

Asudox, (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Correct. I thought there was some way to prevent those duplicates because of the federation, but apparently there’s no such check being done so it’s all duplicates. For that reason I won’t put any effort into making the database federated. Only threads, reviews and comments will be federated. This might change as I make it though. There are also clubs in MAL which I might copy and implement in this project and they could be federated as well.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I can see that being a problem.

Asudox, (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh well, no. The database won’t be decentralized. That just invites chaos. Bookwyrm did that and now there are lots of duplicates in their library, which I definitely want to avoid. The things that will be federated are animes’ forums (as communities in Lemmy for example), and those communities will have threads that will be either a forum thread or a review which others can comment on from any federated platform. Some other things might get federated in the future.

I decided to just scrape either MAL alone or multiple sources.

If you have any ideas on how the database can be decentralized while efficiently avoiding duplicates and spam, please do say it.

What do you mean by “lists in the code”? Which lists and do you mean by “in the code” hardcoded?

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

What? What do you mean full-fledged JSON. I won’t be storing the animes in JSON, but in a PostgreSQL DB. I don’t understand what you mean…

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I see. Ok, I get it now. JSON indeed would be very slow for this project. I also do think of maybe caching some stuff for this reason.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, that’s what I was thinking.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Why not get a new pixel phone? They all support GrapheneOS

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Fairphones then.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe rebuild Windows but open source

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, you can just install another DE on it if the looks is the problem. There’s also System76’s new COSMIC DE coming out somewhere in summer. It should be blazingly responsive as it’s written in Rust and has a GNOME-like UI.

It’s about to get Material You

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

The new client will use Material You.

@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

It does make stuff great. Even Microsoft is trying out Rust in their shit operating system because apparently 30% of all CVEs are related to, you guessed it, memory issues. And Rust will most likely solve them all. Even the Linux kernel has Rust code in it now. If Rust was not of importance, why would the Linux kernel get rusty? Especially Linus Torvalds is very strict about these things. Sure, bad code rewritten in Rust does not make it any better than it originally was. Plus you get C-like speed with good syntax and memory safety, what more could you ask for?

Team Fortress 2 has native support and is very addictive and has a large active community despite the game being over 15 years old now.

…just don’t play in casual servers. It’s filled with bots

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I use it. The linkable proof is in my Lemmy desc for example.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the app. A native app is coming soon
