@JonathanMBR A cat's tongue is also rough, is this the case for all felines?

@kaidamitsuki Maybe it's a very (not so) subtle hint that your handwriting might need some work? 😋 (I kid, I kid. Unless it's true, of course!)

Yeah, but imagine scanning your receipts? I think it's probably more useful for that use case, people who want to do paperless administration? I can see uses for this. I don't do it, however, so thankfully I don't need it. But I can see people who'd like this feature.

@kaidamitsuki I'm reading tofugu.com/learn-japanese/ which has (extremely silly) mnemonic stories. I remember the stories more than the actual drawings. 😂 But it does help!

I use their review site as well, which is pretty good for reviewing afterwards. I also have 3 apps on my phone which teaches me how to draw and to remember what those drawings look like. Every bit helps.

I think I'm sticking with those those 30 letters for now until I'm really familiar with them, especially the last 10 I'm extremely shaky on right now. If I /see/ them I'd recognize them, but if you tell me 'ho' or 'na' I will have to think real hard what the symbols are like. I still need to make a comfortable two way street in my brain.

The only disadvantage here is that it's impossible for me to learn how they're pronounced. So I can't really rely on that mnemonic very well 'hey, this is a SIGN but it sounds like SA!'.... I really have to memorize that seperately.

Plus English isn't my native language.... so a 'NU' for NOODLE I really have to remember that the English just cannot spell phonetically. 😋

@chrism Oh... that's always hard to see when the game's already underway... Is there an easy way to spot which way it goes?

In that case I'd do 18->13. Then 8->4.

18 would be safe, one less casualty potential for you. And 8 could be the start of a new dam.

@fribbledom That's why I usually read like 10-20 pages of a book just before zzz. It does help to put your mind away of the current events.

@freemo Same with 'into oblivion'! Let's cut up those carrots into oblivion, alright? ;)

@lupyuen I can totally relate right there. But isn't this the case for about everybody anyway?

@TheBuilder Why? Do you disagree? BRIGHT CONTRASTING COLORS are actually pretty distracting.
@lupyuen

@chrism Mrm. I might go from 13 to 18, and then 24 to 4. That way the amount of lone blues will stay the same and the danger is a bit minimized? What's also possible is 6 to 11 and 24 to 4. 18 to 22 is also doable, mrm. Uhh lessee...

18 to 22, 6 to 11.

@kaidamitsuki Well, at least it does aid with the memorization process like 'wait, that was that one symbol that I had to write in that order'. :P

Remembering 20 hiragana letters now!

Just don't ask me how to spell them. It'll go like this 'That is the cross with a 9 dangling on it. And that one is like a a key. That one would be a lone sideways u.' etc. :P (I'm talking about the su, ki, and tsu here. :P)

@kaidamitsuki Hehehehe, I've never used Evernote that seriously back then. Granted, the OCR part of it is handy, but then so can Google iirc? But I wanted something that could be synced with my NextCloud instead. :)

@DavidBond Depends on the platform. If it's Android, I can recommend Fedilab or Tusky.

@DavidBond You can block the domain botsin.space, then more than half the bots are gone. It helps. :)

For the rest, block block block.

@FailForward NextCloud (self-hosted) & Web, Android, and preferably a Windows desktop version too. Markdown is fine, should be able to have images embedded too.
