Nice. We're this close to Rebellion territory.

That's actually kinda interesting considering that the date on one of the last pages suggests this manga came out a fair bit earlier than Rebellion.

Well sir

Ma'am/miss/something like that*

P.S: There will be mistakes since this will be my first time typesetting. And they might get past the deadline too. So please go easy on me.

This is actually my first time so I wouldn't be the best judge but you can post your work in the thread for the chapter asking for feedback from the QCers. I'll email you the fonts and such so you can give it a try.

I can help in cleaning and proof reading sections too. I can remove text from the bubbles and check spelling and grammer of the translation.

Cleaning is the one place we really don't need help. I joined to clean then someone else joined a little later to help clean later on. Then fairly recently we had another person offer to help clean too though we suggested they try Kase-san instead. What we really need is typesetters. I'm currently the only one typesetting (since the person who had volunteered to do the typesetting failed to ever get in contact with me then apparently stopped coming to Dynasty) which is why this is taking so long. I've never actually typeset before and I'm just finding it very tedious and completely unenjoyable. (Typesetting a page takes me longer than cleaning it by a fair bit on average.) We've already got chapter 8 and the next extra cleaned but I only fairly recently got started on the typesetting for chapter 8.

Far as I know, Tranquil Spring folded and left a number of unfinished projects behind. We did upload pretty much everything they had available at one point, but I don't know if anyone followed up to see if any of their projects got picked up by others.

Fair enough, I didn't look into their actual reason so that bit was a bit of a guess. My real point in that was just to point out that BakaBT's torrent was a rip of an actually published version of the manga rather than a scanlated version. And as far as I know, that's not the kind that Dynasty tends to upload.

The version on Dynasty was by Tranquil Spring. They most likely cancelled their work on it when JManga published their version.

As for root being able to do everything, it's a blessing and a curse. Because some things, you can't undo.

Yeah, and if you do something that screws up your system then that's all on you. If I really want to do that however the most that the operating system should do is go "yo, are you sure you wanna do that? It's a pretty bad idea." then when I say "yeah, just fuck my shit up" it should go "alright, your funeral" not "sorry but I can't do that". It's my system and I should be the one in control even if my decisions regarding that system result in it becoming unusable.

Nya-chan posted:

I disagree. Windows 7 is very easy to use, very stable, very fast and everything works on it out of the box if your hardware is reasonably standard. You don't control much, but you don't need to.

For Linux, you get only the impression you control everything.

But as soon as you try something different than what the distro cooked for you, you are in for a world of pain with a shitty package & dependencies management which always end up destroying your system.

I don't disagree that Windows 7 is actually good, I'd argue it's the best OS they've shat out actually. But you do have to fight it with some things. Most notably Windows' permissions system is utter garbage. I can't tell you just how many times I've been unable to modify or delete a file because Windows claimed I didn't have permissions despite being the system's administrator and couldn't actually get it to give me permissions. In Linux when you do something as root you can be guaranteed that it doesn't tell you that you can't do that.

You don't control much, but you don't need to.

Says who? You? Who are you to decide this for me? This is the same sort of mindset Microsoft seems to have with Windows 10 (and Google seems to have with Chrome too). You don't need to do something so you can't regardless of whether you actually do need or want to. It's my computer so I don't see how anyone, even Microsoft or Google, has the right to make that decision for me.

takachi posted:

Just out of curiosity, why Linux? Is it cause it's free or is it cause it's not "spying" on you? Or any other reasons?

Better control over your operating system (you don't have to fight it constantly like you do with Windows), a better alternative for people who disagree with Microsoft's business practices or are worried about privacy invasion, since things on Linux tend to be open sourced then if you're a programmer you can customize those programs to your own needs if you need.

Personally I've been using Windows since DOS. I was fine with it up to 7 but 8 and, especially 10, have made a lot of choices that make the downsides to using Windows an even bigger problem for me and I really disagree with Microsoft's pushing Win10 as hard as they have as well as their lack of transparency when it comes to all this privacy stuff. (And something like OSX is not a choice for me because I'm apparently cursed when it comes to using Macs. If I use one there's a very high chance that it's going to completely shit itself even though I'm doing nothing more than opening a program and using it normally.)

I'd have switched over to Linux earlier simply out of principal (plus it's free) if it weren't for the fact that up until fairly recently it just wasn't really as usable as Windows right out of the box. I prefer my system to just work without me having to do any extra work then if I feel it necessary I can go customize options and such later on.

Basically you write things in conky's little configuration language, which can evaluate shell scripts as well (which is what allows you to display essentially anything). So it could be hard if you're not comfortable with that, but there are a lot of premade snippets and conkyrc on the web.

It's probably no worse than Rainmeter's language. Here is an example of the code for one of my skins. (Some of that is extremely hacky though. Ie this line:

IfEqualAction=[!UpdateMeasure "MeasureTitle"][!UpdateMeter "MeterTitle"][!RainmeterRedraw][!Refresh][!Update][!Redraw]    

shouldn't need all of those actions and will constantly refresh for the first 3-4 seconds after a track change but without even one of those it will sporadically fail to update on track change at all.)

spacepowers posted:

You can set up Conky to display info from any command line program pretty easily. I've seen people put weather forecasts in it, all kindsa silly stuff. Then just tie it in with lm-sensors which gives you CPU temp.

Sounds like it actually would be an adequate substitute then. Do you have any idea how simple it is to make your own custom skins for it? Cause while most of my Rainmeter skins use other ones as a base (except the one partially covering the MSI Afterburner skin, that one's completely from scratch) they're mostly fairly heavily modified from their original versions.

Wine works mostly, but it requires a fair amount of tweaking to get it to do what you want. And even then you're still likely to have weird glitches.

Ah, so sort of like a lot of console emulators used to be.

Well, Gimp is basically Photoshop with a manual transmission, and for simpler graphic manipulation there are other apps like Pinta that do the job very well. The others I'm not too familiar with, honestly. Conky seems to do at least some of the stuff Rainmeter does, at least.

I really can't stand Gimp. I think comparing it to manual transmissions is an oversimplification cause manuals are actually quite easy in my experience. (Personally I prefer them in fact.) With Photoshop actually doing what you're trying to do is straight forward whereas just about anything in Gimp seems to require a bunch of completely unnecessary extra work. It's bad enough that before getting Photoshop I preferred Paint.net despite it being so much simpler simply because it was actually usable. I'd actually put forth Gimp as a shining example of the biggest issue with Linux for most people. They tend to put a focus on what it does with little to no regard for how the end user accomplishes that function.

And that Conky deal does look to do most of what I use Rainmeter for.

This is my Rainmeter layout. Out of the stuff Conky looks to be missing it's mostly the cpu temp and graphics card information. Both of which are things that actually require other software even for Rainmeter in the first place.

Eh, Wine is a pain. It works okay, but it can be a pain in the ass. Although I did play the entirety of Skyrim through it so these things are possible. I've pretty much gone the "No Tux, no bux" route these days, reserving Wine for stuff that'll definitely not get ported, like the older Avernum games or Legend of Grimrock 2.

There's a lot of pretty high profile games getting ported lately though. Alien Isolation, Civ V and BE, Rocket League is due in Q2, Company of Heroes, and so forth. Adding Vulkan into the mix will change a lot, given that some devs are saying it's on equal footing with DirectX 12. If that holds true, you'll be seeing even more games on the platform.

Given that games are one of the primary things that hole people back from switching (that and fear of command line, which really isn't that big a deal these days), I think it'll trigger a shift over the next decade or so.

I haven't actually bothered messing with Wine since I still predominantly use Windows. Too bad they couldn't find a way to make it simpler. It probably has similar issues that a lot of Linux stuff has. Stuff tends not to be as straight forward and simple as it would be on another operating system. Even a lot of people who have the experience required to utilize it just don't want to because it's still a bigger hassle.

Given that games are one of the primary things that hole people back from switching (that and fear of command line, which really isn't that big a deal these days), I think it'll trigger a shift over the next decade or so.

For me games are less of a concern than other software since I actually don't play a whole lot anymore. Photoshop being a fairly major one. I don't think there's a Rainmeter equivalent on Linux either and I know there's no Linux version of DisplayFusion. And the alternatives to DisplayFusion all look to only deal with the multimonitor wallpapers part of things too when there's a lot more to the program than that.

It occurs to me that this is off-topic as hell, so I started a new thread. You can reply over there.

Haha, that's probably a good idea. We've even gotten way off-topic from the already off-topic discussion that was going on.

Nezchan posted:

Yes, I am missing out, thanks for confirming that. There is hope, though. If it depends on Windows sales then it's pretty much a shoo-in, since SV is a hot property right now.

Still, it's not like there's a shortage of good stuff to play under Linux, what with almost 2,000 compatible games on Steam, and more on places like GOG. And from what I hear, replacing OpenGL with the Vulkan should make cross-platform stuff a LOT easier.

Oh yeah, if that's all it's depending on I really don't think you've got anything to worry about. Just might takes some time while ConcernedApe is still releasing important fixes for the game. Only real complaint I have with the game is that movement speed is absurdly slow. Though that's very easily fixable with mods. And the modding scene is already quite active.

And I don't know a whole lot about Vulkan but that's what I've heard too. It's apparently a bit more difficult to get setup than OpenGL but once you get it setup it's easier to use and is easier to get working on multiple platforms.

Also according to this (this is the Steam version's info page, first one is Gog) page it looks like the game should work pretty well with Wine if you set that up. Might consider giving that a try if you don't feel like waiting.

Nezchan posted:

Windows 7 was pretty much the best version they did. The prospect of having no choice but to move on to Windows 10 was what finally made the decision for me to move on to Ubuntu instead. And other than a few games (still waiting on Undertale, but there's a chance at Stardew Valley), it's been a pretty good experience.

If you're not worried about security updates you could just update to the final update before the upgrade stuff and then disable Windows update. And I prefer Mint over Ubuntu personally, feels a lot better to me. I still don't intend to switch over from Windows though because the only decent alternative to Photoshop is Gimp and that's just an unusable mess.

Also Stardew Valley is great, you're missing out if you can't play it. I don't play much games anymore but I've sunk a good 30 hours into it rather than working on typesetting since it released. Even for games I enjoy I rarely start them up a second time.

And that, my friend, is one of the reasons I'm still running Windows 7 despite the many popup windows telling me to upgrade to windows 10 for free.

Frankly Windows 10 is a pile of crap in my experience. This is already my second install of it as it is because the first one completely broke somehow. The only thing I'll actually miss about it is the start screen. That actually saw a decent amount of use unlike 7's start menu for me. Actually on second thought there's also the quick access deal in Windows exploder but that one is a completely moot point since Windows 7 doesn't have an arbitrary limit of like 10 pinned files/folders for any program pinned to your taskbar.

Past that literally nothing comes to mind. They replaced stuff like Windows image viewer with some shitty app that takes forever to start up and doesn't even have the same functions (thus finally forcing me to switch over to IrfanView) and calculator's replacement is literally the same thing but with a worse layout and worse startup times too. And that's not to touch on any of the stupid privacy settings which are spread out all over the place, like to reset themselves during updates, and in one case require you to change a setting on Microsoft's site rather than a setting in the operating system itself.

After having used it since release I really don't get all these people I see all over the place acting like it's the best thing ever. Only reason I've used it this long was simply due to laziness. (That ended up being a bit of a rant, lol.)

Nevri posted:

Yea, that is main reason I'm reluctant to do it ;/

I know the feeling. I've been procrastinating on the same thing myself for months. I hate having to set aside the better part of a day just to reinstall Windows and get everything setup again.

I might have to give in and just get it done myself soon though. Firefox has been having issues for me which persisted even after a full reinstall of it and which don't seem to be issues with the browser itself either. I've been having sporadic issues with Windows since I first upgraded to Windows 10 anyways though so it was only a matter of time.

Nevri posted:

Sorry after my laptop had random blue screen error around week ago it keeps on lagging ultra hard like first 15 minutes after turning it on. I couldn't find the reason, but it showed me few times that some plug in wasn't working properly and was slowing down everything, but I couldn't check what it was. But last time it happened I could confirm that indeed Thingifier crashed because it become disabled after i turned off the plug in. I turned it off after to see if it helps, but there is no much difference. I thought posting it without fully confirming it was ok since it definitely seemed like a port of problem, but now I'm not sure. It could easily just be a side effect of something not working properly on my laptop and crashing of Thingifier could be cased by it, not Thingifier itself.

Alright, that definitely sounds like it's probably an issue with your OS rather than the script itself then. Hopefully you can get that sorted out fairly quickly. (Though it sounds like you might need to reinstall Windows which is always a pain in the ass.)

That's strange, I'm not having any issues with it at all. You might try reinstalling the script. If that doesn't work could you open the console (ctrl+shift+k on Firefox and ctrl+shift+j on Chrome) and let me know if it shows anything there? Chrome seems to have more issues with the script than Firefox does so the recent update to Chrome may have broken something.

There's a few comments back to 2013 in the anthology discussion.
