Speak for yourself.

I don’t even pretend.

You’ve forgotten an important point: the price gap between apple and windows machines has closed significantly. A similarly-performing windows machine is now a similar price, if not more expensive, than the equivalent mac.

We’re talking about substantial hardware differences, though, which are substantially more expensive to maintain than simple region locking.

I don’t mind paying for an app, but fuck subscriptions. It’s dirt cheap and all, but I still won’t pay for it.

I’ll have a look at Organic though, that sounds right up my alley. If it’s open source, I can even have a look at raising a PR or two to pay them back.

Because the EU is such a massive market, EU law tends to bleed out. It’s expensive to keep different SKUs for different regions, so compliance tends to seep out.

I’d expect at least some of this to have an impact outside the EU.

Mastodon, however, might end up in a bad place.

Imagine you owned a library. That library is in principle open, anyone can go in and read books, browse the web, wank in the toilets, etc. It’s a good place and it takes you some doing to keep it so.

Now imagine a bus full of book-hating pyromaniacs parks outside (in this metaphor, there is such a thing as book-specific pyromaniacs, just for the sake of illustration).

Surely you’d hang up a “no pyromaniacs” sign?

Sounds to me like you’ve been watching too much shounen and need to move on to seinen.

Have a search!

Also attack on titan, still a shounen, makes pretty much zero use of hyperbolic drawing IIRC.

Wow that’s such a strange thing to get hung up on, hahaha

Honest question, do you just dislike hyperbole in general? If you’re reading a book and it reads something like ‘she felt tiny next to him, as if he could pick her up and throw her across the ship’, do you also dislike it?

Because in general anime uses that effect to convey feelings, which are hard to convey without making the characters spill out entire essays on their innermost demons, which in turn is boring as fuck.

But that requires effort on my part!

Don’t you know that women can’t be electricians? It messes with the ovaries.

(Very big /S just in case someone isn’t paying attention)

Wait, isn’t that the actual dude that slammed a plane into a mountain somewhere?
