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'll try it out for a month, see how the results "feel" compared to Kagi (I fully agree with the points against Kagi mentioned in the article, especially on the focus they seem completely lost recently). So long as I sort of find what I need I'll probably move over, if only because it's supporting a European business.
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.
They can and they do, it's called selling a license to watch. If the platform loses their license to redistribute you may still hold that license to watch with them but since they now are not allowed to show it to you anymore that license is worth nothing anymore. Now if what you "bought" ever enters their platform again your license should still be valid, however often they weasel around this by licensing a "remaster" or other slightly modified version so they can argue it's a different work.
I truly feel sorry for everyone affected but it's also important to draw firm conclusions from this happening to oneself.
I've had this happen to me once, bought myself an Album on Amazon Music, back then the Amazon Music App was rather unusable so I just downloaded the MP3, years later I wanted to redownload some of the "worse" songs from this album I had deleted/lost over the years. Gone, the entire thing gone. Still there in my purchase history, unavailable anywhere else. Best part: the album itself was still on Amazon so I could have bought it again.
I drew my conclusion: Never buy with DRM. Always download the files, even if I don't need them.
And just to be sure make a digital copy of those so you have at least 2 versions available should either version degrade.
In some jurisdiction bypassing the DRM for strictly personal use is even legal, in those where it's not: if you don't share your private copy can anyone even prove you bypassed it?
which was there so Sony could sell their console with a lower tax rate in some countries because it qualified as a "Personal Computer" due to Linux being available, whereas without they would have needed to sell it as "Entertainment Media"
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".
Naja da gibt's jetzt die einfache Erklärung, dass die offiziellen Petitionsseiten einfach nicht so bekannt sind und Petitionssteller dies dadurch nicht benutzen.
Und dann gibt es die Aluhut Erklärung, dass solche Petitionen frühzeitig von der betroffenen Seite auf nicht bindenden Seiten in Umlauf gebracht werden um eventuell später eingereichten Petitionen auf bindenden Seiten Wind zu nehmen.
Gluabe das ist 99% der Zeit ersteres aber komisch ist es trotzdem irgendwie
Sounds nice, ideally they'd just support drop in Wireguard configurations so you can use the VPN of your choice rather than being forced to use whatever Mozilla is offering.

If you create an account it is "preloaded" with one day for free
Shouldn't be but better safe than sorry. Plus accidents happen.
Runs you the risk of getting caught plus is more work if you need a specific version rather than just a version.
I am not surprised in the slightest.

Apparently that's already in the backend since december, they're just getting their infrastructure up to snuff before they enable it

I'll take rough around the edges over potential ID theft tbh

Ja, aber die Anhörung ist wenigstens bindend, das hat man bei anderen Platformen nicht
