is there some sort of anime subbing culture but for french cartoons, where they will release episodes that they make an english subtitle track for? I'm trying to find the latest seasons of wakfu and totally spies for archival reasons.

Try Nyaa.si, they'll be in torrent form but I just checked and they have all four seasons of Wakfu translated in either English or French with English subtitles available.

I couldn't find Totally Spies on there but there's an official YT channel though that has full episodes of S1-S5 in English. Opensubtitles.org also has the English subs mostly available for up to S6, this WCO anime streaming site has S6 dubbed, and this user on Bilibili has most of S7 in both English or French with English subtitles.

Are these French shows counted as cartoons or anime? I considered them cartoons and put them under my Sonarr instance for shows and cartoons, but should I have instead put them under the anime Sonarr instance?

For those two I'd say they're more cartoons than anime. But Nyaa.si mainly focuses on anime and it's there so who knows.

Why wouldn’t you just get an iPad Mini and one of those phone controllers? Build your own Switch/Steam Deck, and RetroArch or Steam Link to play the games.

The Android handhelds have the advantage of being more portable and supporting more emulators than Apple allows. iPads are so locked down that if you want a bigger screen for games, you should go with one of the good Android mini tablets, like the previously mentioned Galaxy Tab A, some of Alldocube's offerings, or the higher end Lenovo ones if you want to go all out.

At the cost of getting a much worse processor and a highly unpolished operating system. Apple doesn’t allow JIT on the App Store, but all that means is you need to download RetroArch cores for consoles like the PS2 separately. It’s fairly simple to do, no more difficult than downloading the ROMs in the first place.
Also iPad gets Procreate and the Pencil, which turns it into the best drawing tablet on the market, and is incredibly convenient for taking notes, you can literally just start writing on the screen and it will go into the Notes app. Invaluable tool for work or studies. I wouldn’t even consider an Android tablet, even if Lenovo ones do have a better camera. Who uses a tablet for photography?

I thought that the cores for Retroarch weren't that great for things like Dolphin and PS2? Not to mention Switch emulation if you go for a really high end tablet.

Having used both the pro pen and a few andoid wacom pens (including the Spen) the gap between both for drawing is close enough that the only deciding factors at this point are "do you want procrate?" or "do you own a PC and have other wacom drawing products?" or even "do you want the Pen included without paying an extra 120 bucks?"
all modern android pens use EMR tech made by Wacom, they've been making drawing tablets far longer than apple, the fact that I can just pick up a Wacom one pen, and it works on any EMR tablet screen
without having to ever charge it, and it having over 4k levels of pressure and pen tilt is a solid standard for what you're paying for. which is still a lot less than the Pro Pen itself.

I can already use my Wacom tablet's nibs on their pens that they made for android, plus the one included with any samsung tablet doesn't even need a screen protector to draw on, the tip is textured and has a nice soft drag to it out of the box, the moment people are able to use Wacom's new pen 3 on android tablets is when there will be zero discission on pen hardware compared to apple.

on software procreate does some really annoying things like a hard limit on layers, and the app only rendering what's on the canvas, meaning if you crop a drawing off screen, it just deletes it.
Compared to desktop drawing apps. the only thing procreate does really well is having a simple UI, and well thought-out gestures for mobile. and all that falls apart when someone just goes "I'm just going to use this cheap bluetooth keypad for everything" which is what anyone who's used photoshop, CSP, Krita, sai, ECT will do.

Tablets are at a point where they can stop being a tablet, and actually start being a small desktop that happens to be touchscreen.
seeing samsung play with this idea on their newest tabs, just makes me want the option to use Windows for my desktop programs I use. including emulation to be on topic
apple's best $1200+ tablet giving you a fucking M4, and not allowing you to actually utilize it and run desktop apps and other third party stuff is crazy to me.

Imagine paying for a 4090, and all you can do with it is whatever is available on google playstore and nothing more.
that's what it feels like to buy apple's Best tablet.

You are a complete and utter faggot for posting this in the piracy thread. Lmao
 
I've been an iPad user for years and occasionally look into different Android tablets. What's been keeping me from buying one is that Android apps tend to be poorly optimized for bigger screens, and iPad apps tend to be more polished overall than Android apps. I also use several music production apps on my iPad, and most of them aren't available on Android. As far as drawing goes, Procreate has a nice UI, but also has some annoying quirks. I use ArtStudio Pro as well, which is more like Photoshop when it comes to its UI and brush engine. I'm not sure what the best drawing/painting apps for Android are. Infinite Painter and CSP look pretty nice though.

There are entire movies and documentaries that have been filmed using iPhones and iPads. I'm not up to speed on how good the cameras are in some of the Android tablets, or if Android has apps on par with some of the video recording apps iOS/iPadOS has, but I would assume they've been used similarly.

I dislike how locked down iPadOS is. I had an Android phone that was more flexible despite not being rooted. Apple will put these desktop class chips into their iPads, yet the OS doesn't really take advantage of the power. The extra power is really only a benefit if you're doing a lot of video editing/rendering, or working on music that makes use of a lot of plugins that eat up CPU.

I've been a CSP user for years for Desktop, and the first time I opened up their mobile app for my S10+ and it's just the full desktop app with the option to have a simple UI like procreate I knew I made the right choice sticking to both hardware I know, and a program I'm already comfortable with.
the only things I can say bad about CSP is their brush engine doesn't use GPU on desktop, so no abusing giant brushes on 500+DPI with out lagging
and they changed their payment from paying once, to this shit:

you will own nothing.png
those two aspects aside, CSP is just so customizable to where I can have complete control over brush size, brush opacity, edge control, spray control, all in one hand with no UI, while I'm switching from like 8 brushes back to back with hot keys. and I'm moving from different layers without ever looking at UI also on the same one hand.
fuck gestures, it looks nice and stylish, but when I want a specific brush, at 30 opacity, with a firm edge. while I use the smudge tool, and nudge it with the push tool, I want it NOW, I don't want to twirl my hands across the screen to fiddle with UI when I'm working.

at the end of the day you should stick with what you know for tools,
unlearning years of what you've used is suffering, nothing is worse than fighting with your own hardware.
that being said, until the day either apple or Android will just go "fuck it, you can use desktop apps if your hardware is good enough" they're both just gimped versions of the real deal desktop apps CSP being the one exception and it's on both

or just pick what's easier to play pirated shit on lol
 
Does anyone know where or how I can find foreign shows or movies to watch? Hard to find some movies or cartoons that aren't in my regular visits.

I know a place. Can't give it away, but if you tell me what you need, I can look in there and if they have it, fetch it for you.
