The GitHub page says it’s no longer developed to protest Google’s decision against unverified app installs on Android (that has since been backtracked into a “mere” dark pattern but most likely will be reintroduced at a better time in the news cycle).

Since Kotatsu is a scraper that manga hosters don’t actively support (they would rather you use the bloated webpage or their app with ads), it’s likely that most sources will change their API or website layout enough to break it in a couple of years.

Look up “homemade Dubai lamps” or as Big Clive likes to call them, “Dooby lamps”. Basically decrease the power by 30% or more by replacing or removing one of current-sense resistors to get a many times longer lifespan. Very easy with lamps that have a linear regulator on the LED board; ones that have a switching regulator inside need to be disassembled further than just popping off the plastic globe (preferrably by milling into the housing from the SMD side of the board because that doesn’t disrupt the thermal design of the LED board). With the latter approach, I can also fix another common issue: the input inductor going open circuit, usually indicated by flashing and a burned-out bypass resistor (most often 4k7 or “472”) − I just short it, I don’t care about the little extra interference if it mskes the bulb work again.

Get the Kotatsu app for Android (via F-Droid) while it’s still working for best experience. Webtoon view recommended for this one.

I first thought this was really fucked up. Then I realized it’s not about the yuri part of the yuri.

More like books. You can’t have phones for most of the day in most psych wards so you better use that time well (ordering more printed yuri manga, perhaps).

Find a stick for life

Me to pay? It’s a hard sell even the other way around.

I always hover over the email address if there is one as a mailto: link. Occasionally, I’ll see it pointing to another person, whoever helped them set up their inbox without explaining hyperlinks.

Cop RP counts in a pinch

Yup, real, except Kiribati is many more islands. Specifically, this is the island Kiritimati.

Username does not check out

And this is why ultra short throw projectors have such weird lenses and mirrors − what they’re projecting is nothing like a rectangle.

Most sane WWA plot point

Idk what fedi platform fops.cloud is, but it ain’t Lemmy

Exactly, it is just taken into account in their evaluation. A person respecting consent will just reevaluate that relationship opportunity as 0 and move on to the next candidate or stay alone.

The 37% is a great reference for math nerds! It’s ⅟𝑒, the number of candidates one should sample before waiting for a better one to maximize the chances of picking the best one in a pick-or-pass scenario. See Secretary problem on Wikipedia

She ain’t posting on X, she’s completely Fedi-pilled

I mean have you seen her profile?!

Omg, OOP is going to 39C3. Thanks for the warning, I’m leaving my network gear and Nintendo at home.

(Just kidding, I’ll bring an OLED one to install a modchip on during the soldering workshop. The switch is too heavy and low-performance though.)

The former, presumably. She lost an eye at least 6 years ago, which I assume was the injury and reason she became captive. By 2025, any infections would have healed and she’d have learned what she can and can’t do safely, and the staff must have protected her from external harm.

OP is sharing some insider information because I haven’t been able to find recent info on Harriett, not even by looking up the collage or quote from the press statement in this post.

Annoyingly, they are also called “cob lights”.

Not to be confused with COB technology (blue/UV LED chips directly bonded to the board rather than the usual plastic or ceramic package and poured over with protective and phosphorous resin, usually used for high power density thanks to better heat dissipation):

Technically, filament bulbs are also COB (the filaments are tiny PCBs, rigid or flexible):

Also, some bulbs are both cob and COB:
