    Science Saru is a pretty good studio. I'm a huge GiTS fan, happy to see it looks like it landed in competent hands after all this time.

    What do you mean by buggy? Problems more with the site, or with the translations?

    Does anyone have any idea on how different online translation "services" actually rank now? I was thinking about this today (after I saw the TranslateGemma announcement) and realized that I had not really updated my view on translation apps/services in quite a while.

    There is Google Translate, Apple Translate, Kagi Translate, DeepL, etc., but I have no idea how these would rank, especially if it comes to different use-cases.

    I believe it, Microsoft is garbage and their gaming division has been useless since 2009.

    Funny, this was also mentioned in the most recent episode of the Iron Culture podcast.

    Interesting case on what something that may seem to intuitively make sense on the surface (we would think glass bottles would be better than plastic, but guess not) does not actually match up with reality—and to be careful on what we are so certain must be true simply based on intuition.

    Really well put together webpage/piece on how writing styles changes by generations. I don't think the Gen Alpha writing style is that different from millenials, but I do know that for me my writing shifts more towards Gen Z when just trying to write quickly.

    Also, hot take, but cursive sucks. I was taught it in school and never used it outside of those classes. It's awful to read and honestly inefficient.

    It looks absolutely fucking awful. Every announcement coming out of Apple nowadays makes me wonder if it's even worth staying in their "ecosystem" anymore.

    I'm curious on the specific commands for personal requests that get further sequestered. How does that work exactly?

    I feel the more I age, the more life experience I have, the harder the overall story hits and I notice things I never did before.

    An absolutely fantastic movie, and a must watch to anyone. While I would say it's not graphically impressive, the way the animals are anthropomorphized just enough to make a human connection with the viewer, while still retaining all the distinct traits that we think of that can define their species, was a fucking masterclass in storytelling.

    I was not expecting to fall in love with that movie as much as I did.

    Kojima recommendations coming clutch once again.

    Trying to get my Podcast listening off of Spotify because I just hate their player and UX lately. Also, no ability to add feeds by RSS link.

    My daily drivers I spend most of my time on are my iPhone and Macbook Pro. After that, maybe I would listen on my iPad, or my PC that is running both Linux and Windows.

    Never heard of Bear Blog, but really needed something for a professional website right now. I plan to build a static website of my own (and I am going to use 11ty for it) but this can be a good intermediary while I am a bit swamped with life and work right now.

    Thanks for this link.
