Wild FeedIn Japan, there’s a tradition of publishing “graduation anthologies” (or graduation albums) at elementary and junior high school graduations, featuring essays and photographs.
Graduation and Entrance Ceremonies in Japan: How They Differ From Overseas | Japaniche
These anthologies have long been criticized for their high resale value (including essays from Haruki Murakami’s childhood and images of actresses in their youth) and their indiscriminate use in crime reporting as “student images” of perpetrators.
Currently, these anthologies are being used as unaltered, clean “material” for deepnude learning, leading to increasing discussion about their need for abolition.
In short, even generations who lived before the age of social media are at increased risk of becoming victims of deepnude through the resale of these publications.
I believe the era of publishing personal information on paper, like gentlemen’s directories or phone books, is over.
The culture of graduation anthologies and their accompanying photographs, which even have the potential to be altered for child pornography, should end with this generation.

Imagine a court hearing being filled with Super Mario sound effects, laughter, and commentary like a sports broadcast.
That’s exactly what news programs that use music, sound effects, and commentators who are little more than gawkers are doing.
That’s not reporting; it’s merely a show that looks like it, a desecration of reality.
That’s why I prefer the old-fashioned form of media news, using text and images.
Of course, this also involves arbitrary intentions and editing, but the problems are far less severe than with video.

Ask LemmyI haven’t eaten a huge variety of hamburgers, but I particularly liked the “Tobikiri Cheese” burger (now discontinued) from the Japanese hamburger chain Mos Burger.
Mos Burger emphasizes using “domestically sourced” ingredients, and among the many foreign-owned burger chains in Japan, it particularly pursues a taste tailored to Japanese palates.
Furthermore, this hamburger chain stands out among Japanese hamburger chains, having been the first to sell the “Teriyaki Burger” (also known as the Samurai Burger).
Unfortunately, this favorite menu item is no longer available, but I like the overall flavor direction of this brand, so I’m thinking of going back again.
TechnologyWhat I’m particularly concerned about lately is the growing share of online forums that don’t even publish their content on the web.
The most famous example of this type of forum is probably Discord.
As those of you on Lemmy know, many people chose Discord as an alternative after Reddit’s deterioration.
Hasn’t this problem already escalated to the point where access to content isn’t guaranteed not only to some bots but even to individuals without accounts?
Shouldn’t those who love the web be extremely wary of online communities that don’t even try to be based on the web?
That’s what I think.
If search engines truly only show the “existence” of forums, then the open web is truly over.
Yes, I know about it. My specialty is personal websites in the Japanese-speaking world, which is my native language, and some of the website creators occasionally use this service.
For example, DJ Telematic Visions does.
Music. Because it’s sound, even when I’m at my most lethargic, depressed, and too exhausted to do anything, I can enjoy it just by feeling its vibrations in my body.
Collecting rare and high-quality pages on the internet, especially personal websites. In this age of social media where information flow is manipulated by algorithms, the culture of personal link collections is all the more necessary.
In an article written in Japanese, the author points out the differences in maliciousness between Bluesky and other Fediverse services.
For example, while Mastodon administrators can access blocking lists that include federated users, Bluesky’s access is not limited to administrators and is publicly available as a fully public API not found in the official app.

Both Mastodon and Bluesky fail to implement measures such as notifying users of this fact when they make their first reaction, but Bluesky’s particular maliciousness lies in its excessive disclosure of API permissions.
At least I believe Bluesky should have limited its API permissions to the same level as Mastodon.
I am adding this comment as related information has come to light.
In March of this year, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with a representative of Palantir Technologies.
On Japanese social media, there are voices speculating that this relationship between Palantir and Japan may have led to the introduction of this bill.

FediverseThis news reminds us that solar power has been chosen as an alternative energy source amid the power crisis in Myanmar during the civil war.
“It is not like we are using them for clean energy or for some environmental reasons. We are a country with civil war. We are just using them out of necessity,” said a resident in the Bago region.

This is a security issue, not a content issue.
There is nothing wrong with universities posting pornography.
This is evident from the fact that Japanese universities research traditional pornographic art from that country.

Lately, I’ve been listening to “British jazz” in a broad sense, from the 1920s to the start of WWII, and my favorite track was a recording by this Toronto band.

I hope to launch it sometime this year.
I also maintain a link blog on Mastodon and Bluesky, focusing on personal websites, news, and academic research.
This blog includes some of the results from my aforementioned website.
