A census is supposed to be about gathering information. If you link it to immigration compliance you risk driving non-participation in the census and then your census is worthless.

The &#34;half&#34; community is distinct from foreign nationals. Each community has its own challenges that the other doesn&#39;t fully understand. Japan accepts members of the &#34;half&#34; community into politics and public life in ways it never would with other foreign nationals, but the idea that she can represent the interest of everyone who isn&#39;t Japanese is flawed.) 2025-11-27T11:21:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq8avkn92msls3nlyy8p6y0fa2g3wkhmwrqf4cg9j0cazctfjd04szyqct7y35k5vgdnujfdhwmeh02zxne28dzlcjmze4tjv6jcpl2l53yesqsln Worth a watch if you&#39;re interested in spending time in Japan.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GKmqa4cWj4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GKmqa4cWj4</a> 2025-11-27T11:17:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsprypgenrhszlky8h32n67rsytflwt3lux9uwt4x73y3k0pxmageszyqct7y35k5vgdnujfdhwmeh02zxne28dzlcjmze4tjv6jcpl2l53yc4c4z6 #SoftBank is really negligent at addressing #spam. <br/><br/>After missing an important message from my landlord&#39;s management agency because it was in a sea of spam and I hadn&#39;t been able to turn on notifications due to that, I finally managed to get the spam filter set up in a way that works for me.<br/><br/>But I was still left with over 18 months of up to 20 phishing messages a day that could very, very easily have been identified and filtered by SoftBank. It&#39;s mindblowing they&#39;re allowed to let that happen. 2025-11-15T06:37:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszelg9v84vm6tglwlt3rpfaykdhgvsh0qfg2vkyfxny8cf27tnp9gzyqct7y35k5vgdnujfdhwmeh02zxne28dzlcjmze4tjv6jcpl2l53yg7wqz4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9688y6lgsj5m9cf4u6zczxa6mvgn9avv3v3k2jc3rkg42mj4thrszla8nd'>nevent1q…a8nd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>People need to justify themselves?

Their Instagram channel carries multiple new stories every hour of the day. It&#39;s insane.

In fact, hardly any widgets seem to be available these days — I guess because most people don&#39;t code their own html pages anymore.<br/><br/>Depressing. Html is really straightward. That everyone has the ability to craft an internet presence is essential to democratizing our online existence. We&#39;ve let tech bros appoint themselves gatekeepers by convincing us basic markup is hard. 2025-09-20T05:41:06Z
