While the code has (thankfully) iterated a few times, the principles of KanjiBox remain the same: spaced-repetition system, with fully algorithmic (no AI) selection of similar/confusing answers to make the drills harder. (full disclosure: I *do* use agentic AI in my IDE, but not vibe-code slop)

"Is KanjiBox an AI-based language app?" The first version of KanjiBox was written as a "Facebook app" (remember those?!) 19 years ago. Yes, that's a `1` and a `9`… I think we can safely say it is AI slop-free. 😉 #kanjibox #kanji #japanese

She was then equally shocked when I told her it was a one-time payment. "What do you mean, you pay once and even the updates are free?" Yup 😁

KanjiBox is and will always remain a *one-time* payment app. Subscription pricing is a great way for publishers to charge a lot more, while simultaneously appearing cheaper. Companies and VCs love that model. As a user, I thoroughly despise it. And have no intention to ever move KanjiBox to it.

This is, unironically, what my auntie Patricia said to my mum on the occasion of her eighth pregnancy, which was probably fair enough.

I've read eight Japanese books this year, more than last year in total (I was very burned out). It's a pretty good dent in the pile of books I put aside to read but I also got ten new books 😅

I feel the main point of video games right now is that if I catch myself scrolling too much on social media I can say to myself, "if I'm gonna waste my time I'd might as well be playing a video game, which would actually be fun." It's hard to argue with that logic

Live in an hour! Today we're starting our first set of bibingkub-requested research topics with Australian Aboriginal Dot Painting! Let's look at one of the oldest continuous cultures in the world and their amazing contemporary art! 🎨

the story is: they didn’t like each other until they both started struggling with mental health. they got closer and after the pandemic left the convent. but for financial reasons they moved in together (lol) and fell in love

this might be the best headline i’ve ever read

Glittering Sea, Hiroshi Yoshida circa 1920 The sun doesn't appear anywhere in this print, and yet the entire composition is somehow about the sun. The corridor of light it creates through the inland sea, and the two boats it's indirectly compelling across it.

数人の友達が「トモダチコレクション」で俺を作ったらしいのです。ほんで、奇跡が起きたわけ。 さすが、バナナ王子様や！！🍌✨ Some friends have put me into their Tomodachi Life game and turned me into a character. Recently, in one of their games, a miracle occurred! The Banana Prince (as approved (?) by Nintendo!) 🍌✨

I've been fighting to open this jar for 4 days now and I need to vent my frustrations somewhere. I'm so mad, I need the internet to permanently record know how mad I've been about this.

Inviting me to your wedding, when you use AI-art or anything, is at your own risk. I can't guarantee I'll be a pleasant guest.

可愛いゾ〜‼️‼️

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Goodnight from Guy Tovey, desperately flicking through the Yellow Pages in hope of finding a 24-hour spirit banishing service. Goodnight from Wendy Cooper, hoping her new witchcraft correspondence course will include sections on anti-landlord magic. Goodnight from Hookland.

A thank you note/love letter/commentary on art for anyone interested

Someone introduced me to this old-school grammar guide (similar to Take Kim's guide) today and it looks good! sakubi.neocities.org

I found an old blog of mine as a teen with a post from when I read Brave New World for the first time in my life! I'm glad I recorded this feeling cause it's coming right back to me again!! <3

@lancha.bsky.social You're not going to believe what I found, Lancha lol. I found an old blog of mine and look! anba-len.livejournal.com/25486.html I KNEW IT!! I remember this very well!!

Sometimes I’ve got so many thoughts I genuinely can’t be bothered with them so I carry on and assume that they’ll stick around if they’re important enough (usually they don’t). 😌👍🏼

電車止まってるなぁ。結構した遅れで時間はあるっちゃあるねんけど、本日のアポって緊張まみれやからはよ動いたらいいな。そんなこんな、本を読んでしばらく別世界に現実逃避しよっか。

Another service became package deal subscription based. Ugh… Swear, they’re going to make my bed & desk a subscription. My apartment already technically is. So nothing is actually mine… If THEY own everything and can take it away… then aren’t they owning ME? 😭
