  • I wouldn’t say it’s wrong but Suisei doesn’t want to be seen as ‘the sexy one’ so she tries to keep fan service to an absolute minimum.

    Ironically that is probably also the main reason she gets so much lewd art.

    I can see why given that seeing lewd art of her might be seen as disrespectful but iirc (and don’t quote me on that I might be confusing her with another talent here) she said it’s fine to draw so long as she isn’t tagged (which rarely happens anyway unless the talent asks for it)




  • I am not surprised in the slightest.

    On a little tangent: my work laptop recently updated and the entire thing was going swimmingly (well aside from the fact Windows needs to restart 3 times in order to “Update and Shutdown” but eh) up until it got to 100%. The time it took to get from 0% to 100% was less than from 100% to actually finishing. I had enough time to hypothesize they let AI change something in the update process and one condition was to not increase how long it took to “complete” the update, ie get to 100%.


  • I wouldn’t say demand is high I would say demand is glitched and infinite. The AI bubble has gotten to such a scale where all the existing parts are already sold but even further they have sold parts that don’t even exist yet for datacenters which haven’t even started construction yet in order to satisfy a projected demand curve the sales people dreamed up in order to somehow promise a slight profitability of this entire mess.


  • I mean the issue at hand is discord enshittifying, TeamSpeak has been around for a lot longer and didn’t do that (even when they were in discords position market wise) which also mlght be because their funding model is actually sustainable.

    Sure they might enshittify later down the line anway but it’s an alternative that’s here now and solves the ossue at hand



  • Do note that Root seems to be VC funded just like discord so that might just be the same thing happening later down the line.

    Stoat isn’t federated so they also have the issue of running costs but they do seem to have that figured out already (currently donation funded, apparently some user friendly plans on how to deal with costs should they exceed the incoming donation)

    Mich verletzt die Grammatik in deinem Kommentar, löschst du den deswegen jetzt auch oder was?

    Ich kann verstehen, dass ein Begriff traumatisieren kann, aber die Lösung ist auch dafür nicht das Verbot des Begriffs aus der Öffentlichkeit sondern Therapie für den/die Betroffene/n.

    Die Zensur eines Wortes ist, meiner Meinung und Erfahrung nach, nichts weiter als hohle Symbolpolitik die keinerlei Einfluss auf die alltägliche Realität der Betroffenen hat. Rassisten werden bei “Verbot” eines Wortes sich entweder gar nicht daran halten, oder ein alternatives Wort finden, welchem sie dann die genau gleichen negativen Konnotationen auflegen wie dem ursprünglichen Wort (siehe die abwertende Verwendung von “colored” im Englischen, die effektiv das N-Wort fast vollumfänglich ersetzt hat). Im Resultat steht der Wortschatz also mit einem Wort weniger da, ohne den Rassismus effektiv bekämpft zu haben.

    Ich würde sogar soweit gehen zu sagen, dass viele die Zensur der Wörter fordern dies nur tun, um sich nicht mit wirklich tiefer gehend mit Rassismus beschäftigen zu müssen, sondern um bequem sagen zu können “Das Wort [xyz] wird nicht mehr verwendet, es gibt keinen Rassismus mehr”.


  • There should be case studies about the ineptitude of competing stores. A small handful aside who have found a niche and serve it well (itch.io and GOG come to mind) the other stores just dish out a store front that is under-cooked for what is there and lacking features beyond that and then are surprised when people prefer Steam.

    For example I’m not aware of a Workshop style system in any other store, so any game that features community made content will be a better experience on Steam.






  • Forget other EU countries and laws, the German constitution guarantees private postal and remote communications for every citizen. It’s also why Germany has historically never (that I know of) voted in favor of this bullshit: it violates the Briefgeheimnis (article 10 of the German constitution)

    If they hadn’t rejected it the federal constitutional court in Karlsruhe would have sacked every single proposal on how to implement it, a process our current coalition is very familiar with from multiple attempts at trying to push preemptive collection of unencrypted data. They knew it wouldn’t pass here anyway and likely just waited on an opportune time to profit off the inevitable denial. Although I’ll give them that: some parts of the coalition were rather eager to meet the judges in Karlsruhe again anyway so it wasn’t a 100% guaranteed rejection either.
