#Japan is becoming increasingly #vegetarian-friendly.
Here in #Hiroshima, while walking from the hotel to a nearby #vegan teppanyaki place, we stumbled into a vegan Vietnamese restaurant with a long line outside and even an Izakaya with lots of vegan dishes on the menu.

The Counter in Tokyo Midtown is a chain originally from LA serving custom burgers, including this #vegetarian, low-carbs double cheese burger sitting on top of a fancy kale salad. We spit it between 2 people, and it was probably large enough to feed 3 😋

@nprofile…le8n Indeed. Lots of new Amiga-related projects are derived from the AROS codebase, but somehow AROS itself never managed to replace the proginal AmigaOS.

I'm thinking of getting a Z3660 accelerator for my recently restored #Amiga 4000, which feels a bit sluggish with its original 68040 running at 25 MHz.
I've seen one of these at #AmiWest 2024 with the Z-turn FPGA daughter board, and the owner told me it can use one of its fast ARM cores to emulate a 68040 at crazy speed.

White sesame #vegan tantan-men 😋
This variant uses konnyaku ramen, which contributes almost 0 calories, bringing the total from 634 kcal to a modest 310 kcal.
Yes, regular ramen tastes better, but would you rather have a half-sized bowl?

I'm riding a Seibu-sen "rapid express" (快速急行, kaisoku kyuukou), which makes more stops than a "limited express" (特急, tokkyuu).
Both are faster than "express train" (急行列車, kyuukou ressha) and "local train" (普通列車, futsuu ressha).
Clear? 😆

Kudos to Lucas Rooyakkers for coming to #HOPE with a specially crafted slide that (sort of) hacked the projector 😂

I've always remapped the useless Caps Lock key to CTRL key. There's a setting for it on both X11 and Wayland.
Some #vim users remap it to ESC, another frequently used key that's hard to reach from the home row.
So why can't we have both? Caps Lock can act as ESC when pressed alone, or CTRL when pressed in combination with another key.
Turns out multiple people already thought about this. Here's a simple Python script that does this:

@npub1r37…xrlz Perhaps I ran into this AmiUpdate issue:
https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=9250
When I was still using AmigaOS daily, there were *no* system updaters! You had to notice new releases, download the archive, unpack it and either run the Installer, or manually copy the files in the right places.
Usually I'd go with the latter option out of fear that installer scripts could carelessly overwrite my patched libs 😅
