Hmm interesting to see the #Misskey instance nijimiss.moe doing a full #fediblock against our instance. I was trying to fetch this Chen fanart but it was failing for some reason. I thought at first that we blocked them due to the Japanese spam, but turns out it was them blocking us. I thought about contacting them but it seems like they aren't targetting us but rather they're just blocking everything not based in #Japan (I see mastodon.social, shonk.social, mastodon.art, heck even tilde.zone getting blocked too by this instance). :sagume_think:

Oh well, I guess Japanese admins are really just very careful about the #GDPR or whatever... :cirnoShrug: I just wanted my #touhou #fanart in my TL, goddammit #EU :cirno_cry:

Japan's "Moon Sniper" spacecraft will attempt a historic touchdown on the lunar surface this weekend using pinpoint technology the country hopes will lead to success where many have failed.

A bit related to the original post, regarding Japanese-made #fediverse software/platform.

If I am not mistaken, #Pleroma is also a Fediverse software from #Japan by a #Japanese developer.

UPDATE (2024-01-07 19:37 UTC+8): I was indeed mistaken. The dev is German, a country from Europe that has given us a lot of new science and technologies. ^_^

Thank you @-mima@makai.chaotic.ninja for the information!

Extra:

Pleroma itself also have a lot of forks, though not as much as #Misskey and #Mastodon. One such is #Rebased.

You can give the Rebased fork a try over at https://c.wtf featuring the #Soapbox frontend. (#DidYouKnow that the Soapbox frontend originally started as a custom frontend for Mastodon?)

It looks like the #Japanese made #ActivityPub platform #Misskey is soon to take over #Mastodon in the number of forks.

As an #Asian myself, I'm happy to see that ideas, developers, and software from #Japan are going mainstream. There are a lot of things the West, and the world for that matter, can learn from Japan.

Not only from the Japanese, to be exact, even from #Korean made software. I talked about last year how #Korea created its own Internet culture that not even #Google and #Microsoft can compete with. (See: #Naver's amazing interconnected platforms; what Google would have been if they had a vision.)

World's first cow dung rocket gets ready to blast off in Hokkaido
https://newsonjapan.com/html/newsdesk/article/139925.php #japan #CowDung #rocket #YesBS #Hokkaido #ZERO,

Japan’s robotic SLIM moon lander has entered lunar orbit on Christmas Day, taking a crucial step toward pulling off the country’s first-ever moon landing on Jan. 19, 2024. The project is meant to test technology that allows for more precise landings in space, paving the way for more targeted explorations in the future. Read more from Space.com.

Another thing I like about #Misskey's custom emoji reactions is that I can get the gist of what a post written in a language I do not understand is saying via the reactions being given by the cool people of misskey.io. So even if #DeepL is not giving me translations that don't make sense, I can tell for example that @syuilo@misskey.io is hungry from the numerous pizza emojis being given :blobcatnompizza: and give a ":yuyuko_corndog:" :koakuma_giggle:

So thanks #Japan for Misskey and #emoji! :cirno_thumbs_up:

"Asagaya B-Sides"

Adding on to last week’s set from Asagaya (阿佐ヶ谷) in western Tokyo, here's four more shots, mostly from the evening part of the same walk.

1. Light afternoon traffic along Star Road

2. Dusk at Star Road

3. Evening Restaurant Exterior

4. The Good Life

All photos shot with Mamiya 6 and 50mm f/4 lens on Kodak Portra 800 (images 2-4) / Kodak Portra 400 (1st image) medium-format film.

I got a rather special gift today from the Japanese team: the first phone shipping with Opera in Japan, which was also the first phone in Japan to ship with a full Internet browser.

The Kyocere AH-K3001V.

People were in line to buy the phone, with the line going far into the street. This was in 2004, so long before the iPhone was launched.

The phone had a special Opera button and there were billboards on the local trains marketing the phone as the first phone to provide full Internet access.

This is part of the special relationship we have with Japan and still have, but now with Vivaldi.

Four shots from Asagaya (阿佐ヶ谷) in western Tokyo. This area boosts quite a few theater spaces, and many pubs and eateries.

1. Pubs along Star Road at dusk
2. Restaurant Corner
3. Evening Izakaya Scene
4. Cafe Entrance

All photos shot with Mamiya 6 and 50mm f/4 lens on Kodak Portra 800 (images 1-3) and Kodak Portra 400 (4th image) medium-format film.
