As an audio engineer, I was very confused about what this had to do with Direct Injection for a second.

That seems really exciting! But don’t services like Discord forbid third party clients?

My general approach is to use Anki as my primary resource with the addition of the Genki textbook, video lectures and grammar videos on YouTube (Toki ni Andy, Game Gengo, Livakivi, etc.), and immersion content (Manga, anime, YouTube). I use Anki because I believe it’s the most effective method for me having used it previously to learn Esperanto; although I believe that you should use whatever method is the most fun for you, whatever will keep you coming back for daily work is good. Don’t fall for the “Bro Science” language learning people who promise quick shortcuts, there are none, these people are usually trying to sell you something.

My daily study consists of about 40 minutes of Anki per day. I split my time between two decks, which is suboptimal in terms of occasionally containing duplicates, but I like it as it serves as a method of chunking my study out throughout the day and as a way to recognize the same Kanji in different contexts. These two decks are the KanjiTransistion and Core 2.3k decks. I do four new cards from the KanjiTransistion deck and three new cards from the 2.3k deck. Following that if I’m in the mood I’ll return to reviewing my Hiragana and Katakana decks (you should do this first if you haven’t already!). I also use the Review Heatmap plugin to see my streak, which helps me stay focused on goals and milestones.

You should form your own opinion about what method of learning works best for you, but don’t fall victim to spending time strategizing and figuring out the scientifically perfect way to learn the language, there isn’t one. If you’re spending time planning how you’re going to learn the language, you’re spending less time actually learning. The only way to get good at a language is to literally be exposed to it and learning it for 1000+ hours.

100 days of studying Japanese every day

I do think that the 4e DMG had a lot of practical DMing “advice” that got dropped for the 5e one sadly. Stuff about how to tell a fun story and organize a full campaign.

I will say unlike Reddit I find the best experience on here tends to be sorting posts by newest comments so that way discussion pushes things to the front of my page. There’s still too little content for sorting things by Top in various different communities to be worth the time. I suppose this turns it into more of an old-school forum homepage in a way.

I definitely really like the quality of discussion on Lemmy, it makes me feel like it’s actually worthwhile to comment and discuss things again. It feels like how it felt when I started using reddit back in 2012 or so.

I’m definitely excited to switch to Wayland properly whenever I build my next machine and escape from my GTX 1060.

I like browsing it! You always find interesting people and writings about a wide variety of topics. It’s got enough users to have variety but not so many that it feels in any way corporate. It’s very much in line with the idea that limitations breed creativity. I’d highly recommend everyone download a decent browser and look around it a bit.

My only worry is that the Google Gemini AI thing will quickly suck all the air out of that name.

Literally backed by Jack Dorsey and crypto bullshit. Fuck off.

And with it dying I think that’s probably the last time I’ll look at Twitter. If something isn’t publicly available on something like Mastodon it isn’t worth making an account to see.

Just watched Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, it was quite enjoyable.

One of my favourite videos I’ve watched recently. The sheer skill to beat Binding of Issac and explain an entire lecture’s worth of info about science communication is great.

Hi! I’m trans. If you’re looking to change your mind about that I’m happy to chat! Otherwise I suggest you look to get out of here as soon as possible.

With how little it’s rained here in the past month I’m definitely quite concerned

Reddit has a longstanding reputation for being a hive of scum and villainy (like hosting the_donald for years, or kotakuinaction, etc). I really hope that Lemmy keeps with the general left-leaning vibes of the fediverse overall, hopefully being a good space for queer people, women, people of colour, etc.
