You DEFINITELY need to post all your Mic merch!!!!! 🤩

The Mic and Aizawa collections.

I think this is everything but there's a chance I've still forgotten something. Best thing is obviously the Ichiban Kuji Mic figure.l

I got a second keyboard and used a combination lua macros and autohotkey to make it so that I can type a bunch of non-qwerty keys using that second keyboard: one of the characters that was the onus for me getting that keyboard was I really wanted to be able to just type – instead of having to rigamarol a copy past.

And now in addition to having immediate access to – and —, I can just type ä, æ, ö, ü, ß, é, ñ, þ, ‚ (for 'commas' in tumblr tags), ‽, –, —,℉, ¡, ¿, ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰ (for citations /footnotes), and a bunch of other characters which have... varying degrees of usefulness, all set up in such a way that if ever I want to change the set up it's as easy as look up the unicode index for the character, and put it into a text doc on which ever line represents the key I want it to correspond to.

My current keyboard looks like this (one physical 8x6 keyboard with three modifiers):

I wholeheartedly reccommend that anyone who semi-regularly needs one or more characters not in their standard keyboard's layout bother with setting up a custom auxilary keyboard.

A pet peeve of mine, as many others, is when the dialogues format is a fucking horrible mess. But my first language is not english, so I can get over the comma being out the quotation marks instead of in, for example. But also, as many americans, I also do not like the „“. However, I can get over it too because that's just a cultural difference, being the German way of writing it. (Though I think other languages also do that, but don't remember the list.)

Now. Cultural difference is one thing. Using whatever the fuck you want because (general) you can not even phantom the idea of searching the correct punctuation mark is another thing.

My language used em dashes. And sometimes people just use everything but em dashes. I have seen people using the hyphen, the minus sign, and even the underscore. The damn underscore. I want to cry when I see the underscore in what is supposed to be dialogues.

Meta wants to train its AI with your data. How to object

For all those who - like me - have not noticed it yet: Starting tomorrow (May 27, 2025) Meta will use all data from users of Instagram and Facebook to improve the company's own generative AI.

This only applies to European users. In the US, user data is already being used and processed by Meta's AI. At the launch in Europe, Meta announced in March that Meta AI had not been trained on the basis of data from European users of Meta platforms. This was preceded by a lengthy dispute between the EU and Meta, as the company had already presented its AI in 2023 and subsequently launched it in the USA. Last year, Meta also wanted to use content from European users for AI training, but the Irish data protection authority stopped this. In protest at the European stop, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, among others, wrote in an open letter that Europe was refusing to make progress.

Long story short: If you are from europe and have an Instagram and/or Facebook account, today is the last day to object. For users in Europe (in the USA, for example, there is no option to object), this can be done via an online form. An objection is possible at any time, but as of 27 May, Meta may have already evaluated its own data; once data has been used for training, it cannot be removed from the AI.

The objection must be submitted individually on each platform, but if you have linked several accounts, once per platform is sufficient. You can find the forms under the following links:
