Japan's Diet has enacted a bill into law that paves the way for divorced parents to share custody of their children. The current system allows only either of the couple to exercise parental rights.
The SDP factory produces LCD panels for televisions, and its suspension will mean Japan no longer has the capacity to produce large panels.
In 2021, the government panel presented the proposals, which call for allowing female members to retain their Imperial Family status after marriage and for allowing male members in the paternal line of former Imperial Family branches to be adopted into the Imperial Family.

Could be just licensing dispute between the right-holders, but since there’s nothing said officially we don’t really know and the situation is worrying.
All traces of a massive pop star once dubbed the “Japanese Madonna” are being scrubbed from the internet, some five years after she retired from public life at the age of 40. (snip) Now, after five years of absolute silence, fans have noticed an even more extreme update: Amuro’s official YouTube channel, housing all her dozens of music videos has been deleted. All of her solo music has also been wiped from streaming services: Search “Namie Amuro” on Spotify or Apple Music, and you’ll see just a handful of her collaborations with other artists, with no sign of anything from the dozen albums she released through her career.
A rise in the antics of nuisance influencers in Japan, who are accused of duping train ticket collectors and pretending to be homeless to get cash, has caused consternation in the country as tourism number near their pre-pandemic levels. A railway company in Japan is investigating allegations that a group of four popular foreign YouTubers had travelled long distances by train without paying. One of the suspected fare dodgers posted a video to his 2.38 million subscribers over the weekend showing him and three others evading rail staff and blagging free food.

The AMD devs must have experimented with injection and test played with the new drivers before release. I wonder why this wasn't caught by Valve then.
I thought what should have happened was either the dev would get banned, or contacted by Valve and get told they technique should not be used, before driver release, and they could have worked with Valve to fix their code and/or VAC.

I think at least some people do not watch every episode that is released ASAP, so having multiple threads for multiple episodes that are released at once is useful for not spoiling the latter episodes, so that's not spamming IMO.
That said, even on Reddit where there were more users, those multiple-episode-at-once (or whole series-at-once like netflix) animes tends to get lower discussion participation, especially the episodes in the middle so I understand where you are coming from.

How about a way to request the bot to create a post if it stopped (e.g. due to no one participating in previous episodes)? It would both lower the barrier of entry for people who want to talk about an episode and keep the post format consistent.

I felt slightly frustrated when I tried some Lemmy apps and they only offer a few largest instances in the initial setup and leave people to discover/find smaller instances by themselves.
It is understandable that they don't want to present a thousand choices and confuse people, or get people to sign up for an instance that disappears a week later. Also, larger instances tend to get a snowball effect by receiving more donations / volunteers and scale better, other nodes are also more likely to help them if there are e.g. federation problems.
However this effectively promotes an centralized ecosystem that both depends on and burdens a small number of key instances.

@woelkchen For lemmy.ml it was a configuration issue specific to their instance.
@Xathonn @cnk Finally someone was able to get hold of lemmy.ml's admins and they fixed the block. https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/173366/lemmy-ml-is-no-longer-shadowbanning-kbin

What happens with magazines that don't have tags set, like kbinMeta? It seems that kbin people can select a magazine when they make a new post but (I don't have a Mastodon account) do people from Mastodon have some way to make their post show up in kbinMeta's microblog section or follow kbinMeta's thread/microblog contents?
1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi 1y ago • 100%
Thank you for looking into it. I tried subscribing again and it went through, and several threads just got through to kbinMeta over there, so I'll cautiously say it seems to be fixed now.
Glad to hear federation is being worked on, it does feel it needs to be more robust to live up to the promise that one gets the same experience no matter which instance (local or remote) one view a magazine from. (I'm not being critical, interoperability is always a hard problem no matter which stage of development it is)
Again, thanks for the good work and for bringing kbin to us!

It didn't log me out but when I submit a thread or comment sometimes the "Add comment" button doesn't "catch" the first time and I have to press it again. It gives me anxiety that it's being submitted twice, fortunately so far that has not happened yet.
1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi 1y ago • 100%
Yes I did that to try out the apps too. wefwef/Voyager is very nice and is being updated frequently and getting new features. Memmy is pretty good too. Lemmy.world was a bit sluggish before they fixed it that’s why I was trying out a less busy instance.
When Artemis for kbin comes out I’d like to check it out too.

I haven’t looked at microblogs much, perhaps someone else can give you an answer here.

That’s my impression as well.
The admins probably has a lot on their hands but I hope they get around to fixing federation.

Thanks for the verification. Is your node working well federating with Lemmy/kbin instances other than kbin.social?
I ask because I made an account on [https://lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip) and the kbin.social magazines there seems to have incomplete contents. e.g. [kbinMeta@kbin.social there](https://lemmy.zip/c/kbinMeta@kbin.social) only have one thread from 25 days ago. RedditMigration@kbin.social there seemed more up-to-date but number of comments are still less than what I can see directly on kbin.social. Another indication of trouble is that when I try to subscribe to a kbin.social magazine (like kbinMeta@kbin.social) it is stuck on Subscribe Pending seemingly forever and does not transition to subscribed/joined status. At first I thought it is a configuration problem on lemmy.zip or some recent version Lemmy incompatibility with kbin, but I was able to subscribe to fedia@fedia.io there fine and it seems to be getting updated contents. So somehow traffic is not flowing smoothly between kbin.social and lemmy.zip. [@ernest](https://kbin.social/u/ernest), I hate to bother you but are you seeing something like this with other instances?
