Himotou! Umaru-chan was a good anime. I enjoyed the titular character's multiple personas and it reminded me of how I was really lazy in school but still managed to be an honor student. I think that much cola would hurt my teeth, though.

Q: How old is Marguerite?

As far as I checked in Google, there is no direct reference for the age of Marguerite - she was one of the female tribe members on Amazon Lily who've found Luffy. Her age is ambiguous at best, as everything seems to qualify between 14 and 24 - or even beyond, knowing the way Oda handles age. Is...

bragon doll

my phone kept restarting and shutting down and I googled how to figure out what was causing it

turns out there's no easy way

tanks, quality advice

I looked at the running processes and there was some bullshit going on

and it turns out there's also no easy way to prevent apps from doing that shit all the time when I don't even need them

some recommendations include using custom process managers to forcibly disable apps, revoke their autorun and backgroud process autostart permissions, but to run them normally you have to manually re-enable all that again

but that's just bullshit

imagine having more than a few apps, and they all wanna do whatever they do at the same time

I thought google had that under control

I was hoping there would be a checkbox for "don't do anything until I run this app"

but it's called "uninstall app"

yea

and I don't wanna go through all of them to dis/re-enable each time

that should be a built-in feature

Killua

That's kind of the world of Android. The OS is more permissible with its actions so that you can get better background services. If I had to manually run every app that I let run in the background, I'd go insane.

Hakase

since I don't use any of those apps often enough I just deleted them all

first and foremost I don't want the phone to reboot all the time and then shut down after a while

good night

@Tosh @MadaraUchiha can we link to or advise to google subtitle files for probably unofficial releases?

that one punch man q above could be solved by googling "one punch man english subtitles" really

arda

@Hakase tech gore. absolutely nsfl.

@Hakase imo it should be ok (as in legally ok) ALA you don't link to a version that is embedded in vid (horrible etc)

Hakase

I mean the guy was clearly only asking about the sub only

idk if it's okay to do, but I do know it's a shitty question for our site

Taisho

кяαzєя

07:36

@Hakase technically subs are copyrighted content, especially official ones. Fansubbed subtitles are a grey area.

arda

ah my bad

it should fall under fair use in US, but animes use japanese copyright laws

кяαzєя

A fair use argument could theoretically be made, but I don't think there's been an actual court case over it, so I would put any such argument in the "dubious" category

Hakase

so no, I won't link it

кяαzєя

But in practice, most publishing companies don't care; in some cases they will even support your actions. The only exception is when the original text is the work in and of itself, such as with translating novels

Legal threats have been thrown around in that case, particularly in the case of American companies licensing foreign works and then threatening fan translators who had been working on translations independently (see the "Support JAST USA's official localizations of Nitro+ games!" fiasco in which many translation groups were sent takedown notices)

@arda Licensed anime falls under the copyright law of the country it was licensed in.

That's pretty much the only case in which legal threats fly around period, as such companies view fan translations as a threat to their profits, while the original company who made w/e series would love for more people to buy it, regardless of the language in which it is purchased

Toshinou Kyouko

08:07

I would count it as equal to linking streams/torrents tbh

Hakase

in any case we're not a "google for me pls" site

Toshinou Kyouko

there are several sites that got shutdown for copyright infringement which were subs only

too true

Hakase

it's literally "download subtitles <anime name>"

I was just curious about the cases when linking to subs for proof could be useful

Toshinou Kyouko

quoting pieces of subs should be fine

Memor-X

@Killua hope you've been fitting anime in that

i did ask about translations for Drama CD's once and @LoganM pointed out on the question that they are copyrighted content. i asked on the meta about it and from what i understood what @ToshinouKyouko posted using scripts for reference is ok but requesting isn't

subtitles can be seen as a digital version of a script which is formatted to work with a second visual media. also you shouldn't really be having the subtitle file separate from the anime while not having the anime itself since officially there's only 2 sources for subtitles, streaming sites and disks. and i'm quite sure sites like Crunchyroll have you agree not to download any portion of the anime you watch when you use their site

fan subs are a bit iffy. in theory you could get just the fan sub file and buy the anime from japan and put the 2 together yourself.....but in theory communism works

i doubt that even if there was an option to get fan sub files and a program to rip and patch japanese disks with the sub file, most of those who would get the subfile would go for just downloading the anime itself like the one-eyed sea lovers they are

Memor-X

@Hakase fixed

@Dragon "i don't know where the question is coming" my impression from the question was that it was hinting that since the island are devoid of men how do new Norma come to be. your answer is one way, that they are born off the island to regular parents

the other is how we explain how Northern-hime exists if there are no ship girls who were that young to have been sunken and become an Abyssal.....one of the Abyssals is a futa. thus if 2 Norma have a child one of them is a futa

also @JNat did you guys add in a new editing update system where posts refresh on their own when an edit has been made?

hello

@Memor-X i have added the link in now

@Dragon yeh that's fine. generally if you quote something from another site you could also include a link so we can see where it came from. just a little bit of evidence to show you didn't make it all up and claim it's on the wiki

once i returned to a page and suddenly the answer changed showing the "edited # minutes ago" thing and i wasn't sure if Chrome was doing some weird auto-refresh or if some new functionality was added to have posts refresh when they are edited without the need to refresh the page or click any links

I wonder how discussion forums pick their moderators

I don't think SE's way of picking the most active and acting according to the rules users can work at all

reading some stuff about reddit and it's pretty unclear to me

if we can just take some top (by rep or edits) 10 users from any site and there's a high chance they'll be good mods, I don't even know what criteria to look at on discussion forums

@JNat do you have any ideas on that?

I'm thinking about this coz I'd like to eventually have some community formed around my game (which I'm still making) and I don't know if I want to have much direct control over what happens on its subreddit or some other forum/discussion site, and so I'd like to know how I could pick the best moderator candidates, but I'm drawing a blank here

from what I know, every top game company hires moderators and community managers to do mod work

they somehow find suitable for-free moderators from the most prominent community members

that is all very vague magic to me

Quill

there's probably blog posts on how SE chooses protems

Hakase

right, but SE is fundamentally different from random topic discussion forums

where there are clear-cut criteria such as high rep, many good edits, activity on meta, badges, etc, I don't even know what to look for on forums

Quill

know the system, not highprofile trouble maker, decent contributor, seems like you care about the community, active, know how to use the tools, activity and badges

I bet it takes a lot of time browsing through people's posts to figure out whether they could contribute by fishing out bad content

if so, I don't think I wanna have a part in that process

@CuddleBunny i kept looking around because the ebay item i saw was the last one. apparently the initial version has a glitch when you fight some guy name Volt and after you defeat him you have to hit 3 switches for you to progress and the game locks up if you walk behind him.

but i kept reading messages stating that the 2.5 is the PSP firmware install but mix messages that the glitch is on the UMD which is fixed with copies shipped with the 2.5 firmware update

was hoping you knew anything about it
