I've finished #WaniKani level 23 yesterday. Onto level 24.

I like to follow song lyrics in Japanese as I listen. I'm not able to read everything, but it's still enjoyable and I get an idea of some unknown kanji and their meaning.

When I'm not looking at lyrics, I find it good listening practice (my weakest point for sure).

Just now I was listening to 君に触れるだけで , from るろうに剣心 .

I'm still utterly lagging behind grammar. But hopefully I can change that a bit in the next few days.

Remember, the main reason so many firms push you to use their apps when you can do the same stuff via their websites is that apps typically give them far more insight into your activities on your phone, even often unrelated to that app. So when you can use the websites, it's often best to say NO to the apps.

Here's the absolute weirdest electric vehicle you've ever seen.
It was called the Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway in the UK, and it's an elevated tram which ran on submerged (at high tide) tracks.
It started running in 1896 but was knocked out of action a week later by a storm. It was rebuilt and ran for 5 years, carrying thousands alongside the beach for no immediately obvious reason. 😄
It's long since gone but the fact it actually existed is surreal.

@goncalor If you reverse engineer Lego Loco, do all the trains roll backwards? 🤔

More on the crisis in open-source maintenance as exemplified by libxml2: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1025971/73f269ad3695186d/

Some money *has* to start flowing into this community or the foundations we all rely on will start rotting away. Given the many-billions-per-quarter in Big Tech profits and the trillion-dollar valuations, it is insulting and absurd to claim a lack of budget for these companies to do the equivalent of keeping their car tires inflated.
