I never realised (partly because of their name), but CD Japan cdjapan.co.jp is actually pretty good for physical books in Japanese .
Today I bought three Japanese paperbacks and it came to just over £16, and that's including delivery to the UK! The cheapest and slowest mode of delivery (air mail), but if you're not in a hurry...

Found a gem for YouTube (V3 extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/v3-get-old-youtube-layout/) — which brings the old interface (from the start of XXI century) back. It is more clean, if it is even possible to say "clean" about YouTube interface, and also it is faster as hell than the "modern" one.
On the my box (Thinkpad X220 with i7, 16 Gb of RAM) the usual YouTube lags as hell, even while I'm scrolling. The old interface — works almost instantly, lol.

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...

🤔 Friends, I have told you all for a decade+ that mocking is never the answer...
Today, I am sad to report that we ran into the one use case where mocking is the right solution. 🍿

@evanEvan Prodromou isn’t an URI scheme the way that would offer fastest compatibility? after all it’s been around forever, most browsers just let the OS handle it and even apps like zoom and iTunes have successfully implemented it for their service 🤔
@ricferrerRicardo Ferrer Rivero🇪🇺 @julian @rimu We already have an URI scheme for ActivityPub objects; it's https: .

My take? We're in for a wild ride of low quality software over the next couple of years.
It really doesn't matter if the agents are up to the task if the people driving them keep pretending their skills/experience aren't part of the equation.

To follow up on my #ActivityPub C2S post from a few days ago, I wrote a blog article on my thoughts about improving the C2S protocol and a description of some related experimentation I've been doing.

@steveSteve Bate (how) can I test Flowz?
I would love to implement C2S in WordPress and need a test client 🤭 😊

I also mention a bunch awesome Fediverse projects which have developed their own API, no shade on them, the spec imho is incredibly bare. I quote 
@GargronEugen Rochko on that one.
I end the talk with an invitation for devs and non-developers alike to submit some user-stories about what they would want from a general AP client

It’s really surprising to me that the #fediverse hasn’t agreed on a standardized way to open cross-instance #activitypub objects and instead relies on links that open in the browser. #urischeme
I found this proposal and what’s thinking… https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/07d7/fep-07d7.md Which one would be your favorite?
(If anyone has updates on the progress, feel free to point me in the right direction)
