I remember the "Best view in Chrome" notices that I get today browsing Japanese web sites. It is already a problem and I have to spoof the browser agent for some web sites to get around Javascript blocks that only allow Chrome through.

I'm working on Umamo(https://www.umamo.org/)! It's FOSS cross-platform rigging editor for 2D puppet animation built as a drop-in replacement for the Live2D Cubism Editor. It's fully compatible with Live2D's CMO3 and MOC3 file formats so it works within the existing Cubism market share.

Live2D is the company that makes the editor and runtime for many game and vtuber(virtual YouTuber) applications. They have a monopoly on the market and I want to change that. Their application is slow, buggy, and a monthly paid subscription to keep using it along with perpetual licensing costs to use the runtime.

Umamo is in the early alpha stage right now, but I'm planning for a Christmas release of an end user workable experience.

I'm preparing the v0.3.0 release today. It's a big release that adds the full pipeline for ingesting layered artwork, texture atlas packing and editing, and more.

Working for Wikimedia would make me actually consider moving back to the USA for the opportunity.(I'm in Japan for reference.) I previous contributed to Mediawiki and the extensions ecosystem for about a decade.

Blatant about what? I actually own this tablet and I bought it for reading sheet music and doodling.(Also for Android development for a project that I'm working on.)

The Eva interface is pretty cool, but it is not worth what I paid for it. I would recommend people look for other options or maybe wait for something better to come out.

I own this tablet: For the Japanese price, it is worth it to buy it for the bundled accessories.

The tablet itself: Other than the screen and APU being good, it is a heavily stripped down tablet missing a lot of the features that other tablets in its price range or even cheap tablets will have. No haptics, biometrics, and so on. It is very focused on the screen interaction experience and that is basically it.

> Most Linux package managers cannot separate user-installed packages from system packages.

And because of pinning versions to LTS releases on certain Linux distributions many times those packages stay out of date for years. Which is quite annoying.

My use cases:

* Replacement controller for my UFO Catcher - It has WiFi, easy to update, and I can operate the machine remotely with it. It's bolted to the back of small touchscreen that lets me change the machine settings as well.

* Remote printer access - I can monitor from the USB cameras and gather statistics about the prints.(I suspect a lot of 3D printing enthusiasts use them for this purpose.)

Having a small low power computer has been useful for me in those instances.

Change the audio language to "English descriptive".

The font size on this site is massive and zooming out causes the font to resize back to the same massive font size.

Why?! ;_;

I have four Prusa printers for my business with thousands of hours of print time. The worst issue that I have had is a finicky filament sensor that I temporarily disabled until I could fix it.

I see it as buying printers design for industrial usage versus printers for hobby. Prusa is selling me a tool that just works every time.

> I don't see any "Issues" on your GH...

Issues and PRs are available to open.(I just have not gotten any yet.)

> Any idea why your script does not seem to flag as a valid greasemonkey script when I try to use it in the Falkon (KDE) browser?

Honestly, no idea. I have only tested it with Tampermonkey on Firefox. Manually installing it should still work.

Add Mailchimp in there as well. I have never gotten an email from someone using Mailchimp that was not spam.

I have compensated hundreds to thousands of dollars to content creators to promote my products and have had content creators ask for thousands up front. It really depends on channel size and market. It also depends on what deliverables are being asked for. Logo on screen, 30 second advertisement reading, link in description, pinned comments, accompanying social media post, etc. Some content creators will haggle on all the pieces while others will accept a flat rate for a typical package deal of deliverables.
