Went to a french comic shop and Diamond in the Rough was among the titles recommended by the booksellers :)

The series is so underrated to it made me really happy!!!!

Text says: “A magic system based on stones, and that sparkles!

A big adventure with a beautiful master-apprentice relationship.”

Also 2 of my usual bookstores also recommended Diamond in the Rough. One of them pointed at the beautiful drawings too.

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

God the entire idea of an "attention economy" is so fucking dystopian, but that's exactly what it is and it pains me

After a little research, it appears you can hide/block the “for you” section in the search results with any adblocker that lets you custom the filters.

Here’s how:

  • Open your adblock settings
  • Go to “filters”. On Ublock Origins on Firefox, it looks like this:

  • Add www.youtube.com##.ytd-shelf-renderer.style-scope:matches-path(/results) as a new filter
  • Save
  • Reload the Youtube Search results page. The “for you”-like blocks should be replaced by a small line.

(he filter syntax might be a little different depending on the adblocker you use)

Without the filter:

With the filter on: (note: the “Mes amis” videos are normal. The song is part of the same album as the music I’m searching. Still better than random suggestions)

Notice the line between the videos on the screen with the filter on is the same as the ones around the “for you” blocks.

Edit: It seems the filter messed with the Subscriptions page since it was applied on all Youtube pages.

I've edited it so it works only on the search results page.

I got tired of the “shorts section” in search results too so here’s the code to hide it too:

##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer.ytd-item-section-renderer.style-scope

I haven’t tested it on other Youtube pages but so far it works just fine.

Reblogging this because I found a new bug on the filter to remove the “for you” blocks.

Basically, the filter removed the part that displays the newest videos on search results when you search for a channel.

Now, I’m probably the only person who doesn’t subscribe to each channel I watch regularly so you all shouldn’t see a difference.

But in case someone is like me:

www.youtube.com##.ytd-shelf-renderer.style-scope:matches-path(/results) 

This is the filter you need to replace.

www.youtube.com## ytd-app > div > ytd-page-manager > ytd-search > div > ytd-two-column-search-results-renderer > div > ytd-section-list-renderer > div > ytd-item-section-renderer > div > ytd-shelf-renderer > div > div > div > h2 > span:has-text(For you):nth-ancestor(5):matches-path(/results)

And the new version.

Replace the “For you” in span:has-text(For you) by the title of the section in your language (for example, my Youtube is in French so I put span:has-text(Pour vous) since “Pour vous” is the French translation of “For you”).

I’m not sure a lot of adblockers let you do this though but Ublock Origins does.

/!\ Note that this filter will probably stop working in the future /!\

(Of course I’ll update it if it does as long as I need it)

Let’s take a look at how the filter is written to understand why:

Found some old drawings, in the order:

  1. Watson from Yurei Deco in maneki-neko mode (dunno why)
  2. a concept art I did for last year Neshiki Week probably. The idea was home clothing/comfy clothes that Shiki would wear (maybe) and a large poncho looked like a good pick (didn’t turn great so I posted something else)
  3. a cat inspired by someone’s emoji cat on Twitch (only the bottom of the page was blank)
Ah yes. I really appreciate the fact that we who are reading Super Smartphone on MangaPlus, the only way for us living outside or Japan to have access to this manga legally without buying the japanese tankobon, won’t get the end at all.
If you don’t...

Ah yes. I really appreciate the fact that we who are reading Super Smartphone on MangaPlus, the only way for us living outside or Japan to have access to this manga legally without buying the japanese tankobon, won’t get the end at all.

If you don’t plan to release it to the end in English on MangaPlus, why translating it in the first place?

I hope that I’m wrong and that we’ll get the true final chapter one day.
