This advice is not directly related to that, this is the same advice given by security-oriented organizations all over to compensate with people being people

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!

Watched it too, don’t feel it’s going specially slow as the characters focus has been strong. Saw the peeps on the opening and i too hope they have time to showcase them.

Also i must say, the Ars and Licia couple is so goddamned adorable! Love seeing those two together! 😄

I like Snikket as a solution to this

About Appraisal Isekai Season 2, been following the manga, and we’re about to enter the actual succession war, so here’s where both most characters will shine, and where it will go most Suikoden with the recruiting people thing, high hopes here

Snikket is an attempt to solve the XMPP issues, or at least to reduce them, single all-in-one XMPP server distro and clients across platforms, and since it’s self-hosted no one should get their hands on your data (in normal circumstances).

That said, the saying goes “Perfect is the enemy of Good”. Just because a solution is not perfect doesn’t make it unusable, any of those options you mention full of problems are a helluva better than FB Messenger or plain SMS for example. Depending on your threat model they might be more than enough.

This episode was very touching!

They do, one with them at the top

Youtube and Amazon/Audible are already having a monopoly there, they’re gonna get squashed like a bug

Noted, thanks!

Wait, Bofuri S2 was inferior to the novels? Oh man, then the novels must be freaking awesome! Gotta get to that! Any details of from where to where is adapted from the novels to the anime?

They bought an ads company AFTER this person took the reins

Not customers, users, otherwise they’ll start paywalling features

Only 42?

As somebody that might be changing phone sometime this year and to cover all the possibilities, do we have a recent comparison of all these projects?

This series continues being adorable
