Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
Btw, I finally decided to commit to learning Japenese since my friend wants to take N4 JLPT. I'm not sure whether I want to take the exam yet but I shouldn't rot for too long so I decided to study together.
I stopped studying Japanese after I started working and thereafter I relied on informal learning but it wasn't moving things fast enough.
Don't worry the bot is still otw o7 ~~i just have a fear of manually testing my own code~~
Good luck! I'm still learning after decades 😭
I've been learning for a long time too lol. I knew the very simple stuff since high school, but I never really learnt much until the past few years.
It's actually pretty hard to learn without an accountability partner. Back when another friend of mine was studying for N4, I was studying too(N5), but I stopped halfway.
Informal learning is also a great way if you're not preparing for JLPT. I can somewhat communicate if I'm not writing in formal Japanese, albeit with very limited prose.
I should revisit akiyama ryohei sensei's videos on Japanese grammar.
How does one stay sane when things are just impossible to finish? I'm tired of getting gaslighted by management.
There there ( ･_･)ﾉ(._.`)
Do your best, because tomorrow saturday haha
My brain ady holiday mood weh, past few days OT dy now don't feel like crunching already.
Today balik on time and sleep early then. If boss ask just say got dinner, and if he wanna argue, stare at him like this ( ≖_≖)
🙈
😂 good idea
Tell me the result later 🙈
Nah I'll prolly just bolt out XD
Rightfully deserved. We all know this is a PR move to pull people back.
whoa!
It;s not really good idea to go join because reddit is trying to bolster its activity to look good unless you're still holding on to reddit and trying to make it work fuck spez
Going through my old stuff and found my ex’s break up letter to me. Legit couldn’t remember anything about it, I think I was too afraid to read it.
I hate how even in the break up letter she managed to gas light me after admitting that she had anger issues and that she hurt me and my family.
In some ways I have also achieved a bit of closure. I was under the impression she’s got zero remorse when she ghosted me 7 years ago. Younger me just didn’t know about my self-worth and didn’t know how to establish boundaries.
Also found some of the gifts that I gave her (she returned it during one of the “breakups”), including a Fujifilm Instax and some film. Wanted to chuck it but I think I could use some cold hard cash by selling it.
Woah, okay, so Mali gov is reclaiming the .ml domain which mean lemmy.ml will be gone as well. I wonder if they can just rehost whatever they have into a new domain
from what I heard, it won't me easy, but it would be one real stress test for federation. hopefully, we don't have to block them out while they're migrating. I wonder if perhaps it would be better for them to just start over with a clean slate.
The millipede is having a gathering 😌
FUCKING GELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Cute what 🙈
Aiyo my mom made an Instagram account
And she just followed me.
What do I do? I don't want her to meddle in stuffs I'm doing. it's young people stuff that doesn't necessarily in line with what they're hoping for in their child.
Time to make another one that's private with less traceability. Even the email you use to make the new one should not be tied to any accounts. Don't link phone number so IG won't use contact list to add you.
After this, pay attention to when you or your friends talk about IG. You don't want friends to mention "that funny story you put up last week" and have your mom hear it only to wonder why she didn't see it.
Move to pixelfed haha.
But yeah gotta have an alt now. One of the reason i quit fb because i have my mom and siblings in my friendlist, and i just doesn't want my personal online life to be seen by my fam lol
Jinx lmao
You're more experience in this and have more detail 🙈
Oh don't worry, it'll be overtaken soon because I'm a technical noob pun hahaha
If you're going to do another alt insta, might as well try another fediverse analogue and get a Pixelfed. At least it's not Facebook who's going to add your new alt and its new alternate email to their profile of you, that will just kantoikan you eventually.
ETA: if you don't want to move, stop posting on main and just use stories and only post to your close friends filter. Or soft block ur mum so she unfollows you
Additional info on Pixelfed - upcoming features is tiered access to your posts; so a bit like fb flist, so if she ever finds u again, you can have real public posts and posts she'll never see
I see. Which community to join in pixelfed?
I would've recommended my instance which is metapixl.com but I'm also shopping around as I'm not sure if I want to stay there, but it's decent enough (having issues with the alt-text character limit but otherwise it's fine). The flagship is pixelfed.social which is huge now but they do get first round of stable releases, but regardless there's a list here https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/list - filter by signups to yes. Most of them are general instances so other than the non-english one I don't think there's a problem to pick. ETA: oh wait! Check their abouts, some of them allow nsfw content (which shouldn't be a problem until u check local feed)
ETA: I would recommend metapixl.com regardless because they offer the cushiest amount (max 20 pix; caption length is max 2k characters; most others will put about 5 pix with max caption of 500 chars)
@cendawanita not all is well with firefish.
I really hope we do not see a repeat of that phoenix ➡️ firebird ➡️ firefox saga that mozilla had.
Lol, that was quick. Should call waterfish instead 🙈
Aha! Lol i was reading up on it -- there's some legal leeway imo but otoh one of my fedi mutuals (a futual??) mmg long time low-key sideeye the whole rebranding for management history issues (and tbh they're the only reason I even am this up to speed with the various interplays of the various players)!
It'll be interesting to see what happens next. The biggest booster is a Canadian but he's not actually a dev for this. The actual dev is barely 20 yo tak silap (si kainoa tu). Most of the crew aren't corporate or corporate-trained, so lagilah kalau terkena anything I also dk (eta: like related to when FB approached some of them to berdiskusi pre-Threads launch; most of these guys... tak pernah kena tipu, is all I'll say about it). Hopefully the power and privilege of being European is gonna help somehow.
We should totes recommend ikandipecat tho 😆
