Works in Japan, too. Gives ¥500 extra.

On the latest build here, but it’s been happening for a while now. There is no rhyme or reason, but now and then the default option reverts to all instead of my selection of subscribed. Not a huge issue but just putting it out there. Thanks for the great app!

Also for SEO when they are online.

Thanks for making this app.

The bar at the bottom seems to scroll up before being hidden when scrolling. I’ll attach a video in a moment to illustrate this.

Also I only noticed this after upgrading to ios18 last night.

Thanks for. All the hard work which you’re putting into the app. It is my favorite!

I was greeted with a beta expired message today.

Should I just start using the AppStore version? Will I lose any settings if I install it over the beta?

Thanks in advance

It’s not about losing face. It is the fact that seishain, or permanent employees are very hard to fire. The company needs to keep a record of the employee’s failures.

In addition, the company needs to implement and execute improvement plans. The results of those need to be reviewed. The next plan has to be implemented. And so on.

Only when they fail to show improvement a certain number of times (I don’t know exactly) can they be legally fired. You can’t just fire someone like in the U.S. style of at will employment. That would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

So it is easier and cheaper to “persuade” the employee to resign.

However, this terrible behavior is considered to be power harassment, and all large companies now have ethics hotlines. Also, companies have to provide annual trainings on issues like this. So, I hope this practice is decreasing.

Has anyone else noticed that alarms and timers don’t reduce in volume if you are using the device, or when you pick up the device and it recognises you with Face ID anymore?

It’s really annoying to get a full volume alarm when you’re using the device.

iPhone 13 if it matters. Toggled attention aware on and off and also restarted the phone without luck.

Hi there, thanks for the great software. Currently on 0.4.1 (4), but I’ve noticed the bug on a few previous versions.

When viewing saved comments under the user profile, everything appears fine. However, if you try to scroll it instantly crashes back to the springboard. I have a suspicion that it is something to do with the fact that I have saved many comments which include YouTube links. Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: switched to another account to play around, and I could replicate the crash just by saving a comment which contained an embedded picture.

A Japanese high court ruled Thursday that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and called for urgent government action to address the lack of any law allowing for such unions.

The court does not have the power to overturn the current marriage law, which has been interpreted to restrict marriage as between a man and a woman. Government offices may continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the existing law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples, or a new law is enacted that allows for other types of unions.

First, thank you for building this wonderful app.

This is my favorite feature of the app: the ability to return to the previous post by swiping from right to left.

With the latest TestFlight version, I noticed a new bug: the text size on the returning post is set to the system size, and once complete open, switches to the user’s choice of text size. The result is a little jarring.

To replicate, set the text time to something other than the system size. View a post, go back. And then swipe across to return to the post. You should be able to see the effect.

All airplanes are still using leaded fuels

Jet fuel doesn’t contain lead. Only the avgas used by smaller planes with piston engines.

Still, it’s unbelievable that this fuel is still being used in 2024!

tatemae is the romanisation. It is your public attitude, which may be different to your real attitude (hon’ne).

I’m a permanent resident of Japan and am raising a family here. I think you would get better responses if you posed more specific questions, or provided examples of what kind of misunderstandings people have experienced and posted about online.

I find Japan a pleasant place to live, but it is far from perfect, just like any society. The cost of living is quite reasonable compared to many other countries, which makes the lower salaries go further.

People are generally friendly, but you sometimes have to read between the lines, as people tend to be less direct so as to avoid confrontation (“It is a little difficult” is a polite way to say “No!” for example).

Anyway, if you have any other questions I’ll be around.

Where I live,the majority of exhaust vents are placed on exterior walls. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for you. Just be sure to have some kind of weather guard on there to stop rain getting in (basically, the slats on the vent cover should point downwards).

A group of Japanese citizens, including a man of Pakistani descent, is suing the country’s police, accusing authorities of racial profiling and discrimination.

Wow, what a scam!

I thought the seemingly constant requests to update or verify your information was supposed to stop this!

It is surprising to realise that this is not more common. In Japan, basically every home and apartment comes with rooftop antennas and coaxial connections in multiple rooms. No need to pay for cable TV (BS and CS) unless you want to get more channels.

Rental companies should try putting some stickers inside the vehicle which indicate where the manual door release is. It wouldn’t cost much and would at least save people unfamiliar with Teslas from getting trapped like this.

On TestFlight. iPhone 8. Cancel buttons (ie on comment screen) and (x) buttons (ie share as image screen) don’t work. Can only dismiss by swiping down.

There have been numerous ddos attacks etc on the site recently. Rudd, the operator has been very forthcoming with information.
