Make sure to catch the mid-ending-credits scene. Other than that this episode is about what one would expect, and it gives a descent indication on where this story is going.

Ubuntu used to have an option for that and the screen shot from the site looks quite a bit like the old Ubuntu installer.

Oh, right you are. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi

It even has a wikipedia page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(software)

From the documentation site you linked, Q4OS doesn't run inside Windows. The Q4OS installer runs inside Windows, and it stores the root filesystem for Q4OS as a file inside an existing Windows drive partition. I'm not personally aware of other Linux OS's that do either of these things, nor do I particularly desire a Linux OS that does either of these things. I can see it being useful if you want to keep your Windows installation fully intact. I imagine disk I/O performance takes a small hit.

That was a lame place to end the season, unless the next season picks up again in a few months. Overall I had a nice time with this show.

I didn't know this about bluesky D:, but it makes sense. Thanks for the heads up. The atproto ecosystem seems to have cool features for user empowerment and it seems to work well on the few occasions I've visited atproto sites. I hope they can find an ethical way to persevere, but I can't imagine that being easy.

Venture capital funding. The plan is always to do a rug pull. Though if it properly freely licensed and the code is reasonable enough to be forked, it's less worrying but still risky. It's better to work with honest people.

Completely sealing off every good route for the heroine. 😏

Well now I'm properly excited for this series.

From the title I thought this was going to be about making hats for magicians. I love the world building (A+ so far, though the idea of being able to keep magic secret is little hard to accept. I doubt that the series will focus on that so I think that I can lock in going forward.) and the fascination with the magic system (B to A+, depending on how well it explains advanced magic). The pacing so far is great: fast but doesn't feel rushed. I suspect that this will be my favorite show of the season.

I went back to look at the easy-to-see magic circles. It seems that there is a wide variety of sigils. The signs around the sigils seem to have less variety. And there seems to be some variations on the enclosing circles. The floating carriage and the forbidden spell appear to have 2-levels of nested magic circles. If this was a re-incarnation power-fantasy show, the protagonist would probably immediately aim to create 3+-levels of nested magic circles... but judging from the forbidden spell, 3-levels might have the potential to instantly destroy cities.

How the magic circles function with stone formations is a little bit of a mystery for now, I guess you could just say that there's durable special ink (or whatever the ink's made of) in the cracks.

A developer submitted a PR code change for systemd userdb.

My proposals (that's really what PRs are) are to implement a solution that meets the regulatory requirements in several jurisdictions by providing a way to store a self-reported birthdate locally on the machine. These laws also require that this date is collected during account creation (hence why I made PRs against installers) and you can enter any value here, even January 1st, 1900. There is no proof required, no ID scanning, and no external tracking. Nor do I have any desire for that to ever change.

Apparently the developer is confirmed to be just a regular guy. He thinks it'd be worse if every desktop environment implements their own solution to comply with these laws. He's against the various laws related to this incident.

As a fallout for submitting this pull request, he has been extensively harassed. His personal information being repeatedly posted online; his information used to sign up to a lot of sites, groups, churches, car dealerships, ordering food for him; threats of murder; regular textual harassment.

Catapults? 😞🫸

The show does a good job of making me to want to see the progression of Makio and Asa's relationship (also how Asa's mother changed after separating from Makio). I particularly liked the attorney in this episode. The Shingo-Makio pairing is ridiculously wholesome. Also, it definitely felt like they were planning to do a seamless ED transition.

 

What anime are you looking forward to watching in the Winter 2024 season?

I just finished watching Skip and Loafer, which aired this most recent spring season. I'm here to tell you: you should watch it too!

It's a coming of age story about a girl moving from the countryside to Tokyo to go to a better high school. It's full of heart-warming moments as these kids become friends and try to figure out how they should interact with the world.

The characters, story, animation, and sound are all fantastic. The show brings a comforting warmth, with a little drama to keep things interesting. Don't let this show pass you by!
