Help your friends

Seriously though, Japan has the best toilet infrastructure in the world as far as I can tell, in terms of maintenance and quantity. Tourists don’t shit in people’s gardens in other countries as much, or at least it doesn’t get scandalized. I assume it doesn’t happen all that often here either, probably those were 1-2 cases that get hyped up. But toilet infrastructure is really the last thing you have to worry about.

Also, it’s not like all of a sudden 1000 people spawn in the same spot and all have to take a shit within the next 2 minutes. I expect tourists, especially adults, to be able to plan their dumping schedule at least 10 minutes ahead in regular times. If there are a few emergencies, the Japanese toilet infrastructure can accomodate for them. There are not 1000 emergencies at the same time. Just walk for 2 minutes or across the street to the next convenience store and take a shit there.

Other than that, the star architect toilet tour through tokyo is one of my recommendations for friends coming to visit. It’s really an experience!

Bro has never been here and thinks he can make a reasonable argument

I agree that most people wouldn’t opt for that, but most tourists also don’t behave like that. The vast majority behaves very well, they are somewhat aware of Japanese manners and try to adapt (sometimes in sweet, dorky ways, but who am I to judge, I probably look the same).

There are a few people who do this and they ruin the image for everyone.

The issue is not the infrastructure, really. It is excellent and in excellent condition, across the country.

Imagine you have perfect toilets, some even designed by star architects, free to use for everyone and clean. And some fucker just decides to take a dump in someone’s garden, for whatever reason. Is that the problem of the infrastructure?

My impression overall here is that most tourists try to behave very well. I see people from my home country offer gentle gestures like carrying an elderly person’s bag up the stairs that they would not do at home.

The problem are the 3 fuckers among 10000 who behave like shit, and the fact that there are so many tourists especially in high season.

You have never been to Japan, have you? If any country in the world has excellent public bathroom infrastructure, it’s Japan. Always clean, generally free, and within 1-2 minutes walking range.

This is not last time when we said we’d roll back Recall and then put it back in anyway. This time we’ll roll back Recall (and, eventually, put it back in but please don’t leave our platform!)

Are Bandcamp still the good guys? I thought they were bought by the big capital and now went down the drain. Artists’ opinions especially welcome

Nice, make space for better people!

It is terrible indeed, but I’d rather say that is because linux development is not focused enough on the desktop. KDE does a decent job out of the box, but still cracks in too many corners (still, after so many years…). GNOME looks cool but has terrible usability. People praise it for its design, but none of those people are designers or have any idea about design beyond color combinations. I know, your obscure other window manager is great and I will try it out soon.

I’m a bit optimistic that things will get better eventually. We have a decent service manager now and half-standardized packaging solutions. It also seems like the biggest pain with X vs. Wayland is over. Things kind of work, but it’s far from a good desktop experience.

Terrible still, but dude I’m happy I’m over here and not in one of the other camps right now.
