The only correction i’d do to this message is to stop calling this person “Zuck”, Mark Zuckerberg IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, stop calling these fucking bastards cutesy friend names or on a first name basis (like “Elon”, Zuck" and others like this) , they DO NOT deserve them and they WANT to be called that

At this point we have some things established:

  • MC is very much a Ciaphas Cain/Lightspeed Masayuki style character, does not want absolutely anything with the hero thing but is pushed to it by external circumstances AND must act like it because the consequences of the whole thing ending would be BAD, i utterly love this
  • Narrative Causality itself is having an absolute blast making everything the MC does look like he’s a super-competent hero, when in reality he’s just messing around and trying to NOT be a hero
  • There’s too much fanservice around Tino, and doesn’t look like it’s gonna stop
  • The abusive relationship between Tino and her sensei Liz seems to be played for laughs but is rather offputing

Both very good and very bad things about this series, i think the good are worth remaining but that might change

Actually felt bad about that poor robot, no one deserves being the target of these jerks 😂

He’s the duct tape that keeps the story together, without him there would be no story, and if he were to disappear it would dissipate into nothing, plus he serves as our audience proxy. Also i just cannot get enough of him and Licia interacting, they’re too damn adorable!

And that’s one of the many reasons why we want private communications, we want no creepy megacorp listening in

It’s Firefox, with the Firefox branding and some questionable decisions like the AI chatbot sidebar and a few others removed

I will defend the Free Software movement, but Stallman? Nah

In case someone affiliated with the project is around, saw this feature request from last year to integrate Standard Ebooks as an additional source to Myne, an Android app to download and read Project Gutenberg ebooks on the device, but the dev failed to find a way to programatically get the books and closed the ticket, and i too failed to find an API or something similar when i checked. Is there such a thing? In theory you could do it with web scraping, but that’s a tool of last resort in my opinion, and it’s far better to have an API or a similar feature.
