The way I see it the point where it becomes too negative would also be the point where several laws would crack down on it anway (ie the game would be shut down for inciting violence) it's rare for an actual hate mob to skirt the line between "legally hateful" and "illegally hateful" for long so in that sense the problem would regulate itself

Ich gehe sehr stark davon aus, dass TSMC hier versuchen wird nicht mal Ost-Gehälter zu zahlen sondern noch weiter darunter. Genauso gehe ich davon aus, dass jegliche Anmutung der Belegschaft eine Gewerkschaft einzubringen illegal unterbunden werden wird.

This is going faster than I expected tbh. Gotta check whether the vote history is available so I can make some "fancy" graphs about the rate of votes/day.

Knowing Catholic run schools this might as well have been last week.

As the other commenter already said it's an abundance of caution. GItea is already moving in the direction of SaaS and an easily self-hostable solution runs counter to that plan (Gitea is already offering a managed Cloud so this is not a hypothetical). One thing that has already happened is Gitea introducing a Contributor License Agreement, effectively allowing them to change the license of the code at any time.

I'll be that guy: Use forgejo instead, its main contributor is a Non-Profit compared to Gitea's For-Profit owners

Du bringst doch schon den Grund warum nichts gemacht wird: militärische Intervention für politischen Wandel hat in Afghanistan mal so überhaupt nicht funktioniert. Die dort aufgebaute "Demokratie" ist schlussendlich in dem Moment kollabiert in dem die Nato sich zurückgezogen hat. Angesichts dessen sehe ich keinen Grund die Leben von Nato Soldaten für eine höchstwahrscheinlich nur temporäre Verbesserung der Lage dort zu verheizen. Sollte da politisch Druck gemacht werden? Ja, aber das hat mit der Nato nichts zu tun.

Well in that context yeah the only reason to get upset about this is if you have a problem with the mechanic itself, otherwise they should and would have started protesting a while ago.

As for your question: Yes absolutely. Such is the consequence of freedom of speech: people will have opinions you dislike. This isn't some serious irl matter, it's about features in a video game so let them have whatever they want. In fact forcing inclusivity might be the least inclusive thing one can do. Sure voice your dislike if you see a group playing a game you don't like. That is your right. But it is also their right to play that game (and voice their dislike at your voiced dislike).

Well the contents of this particular change aside I could see someone upset over the principle of it. I'm not familiar with old-school runescape but if the salespitch really was "no changes unless the community approves them in a poll" then this marks a breach of "contract" (I doubt them only ever adding stuff after polls was ever contractually agreed on) on the developers part. Now that door is open so what else are they going to change without a poll? Is this going to be a one off or will this now become a regular occurence where the developers go over the communities wishes?

So, again, the politics of this particular change aside I can absolutely see why a player would be upset by this change, it's not the change itself that is worrying but rather what that means for the future, if players were sold the idea of control this change robbed them of that control they were sold. But again I have no clue about old-school runescape so I don't know if the community just took the status-quo as granted and never had any promises made to them that only polled changesmwould happen.

It's a trope way too many mangaka follow, no creativity on where to carry the story after the confession. Give us the awkward first dates, the misunderstandings from jealousy, I have to see all of that before my thirst for romance sugar is sated. There is so much to be explored within a relationship yet it just gets left on the table unused and up for grabs. I sincerely hope this story continues for a while yet because these two can lead us to so many wonderful stories still, and from when this happened I feel like the mangaka plans on writing more of this story, there is far too much unresolved plot to end this anytime soon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I have to be perfectly honest, I did not see that coming this soon. I fully expected the Mangaka to drag this confession out another 50 chapters or so, glad I was proven wrong though.

Begs the question where this is going to go now, obviously there is now the plot thread of Gojou being absolutely jealous but I sincerely hope we get to see more of their relationship after that. I'd hate to see another manga end with the couple getting together, seeing what happens after is also a lot of fun.

Before I get into this I apologize for giving you all a heart attack. Actually no, I know what I am doing with that title, suffer!

Unfortunately the main story of Ascendance of a Bookworm released its last Pre-Pub chapter last week and with it a stop to the very regular weekly discussion threads. Obviously we will have Side Stories to look forward to, however those won't provide nearly the same regularity as the main story did.

Up until now the Pre-Pub threads have been the main driver behind activity on the instance and the closure of the story then opens the question of what will happen to this place going forward. First of all this instance will likely not be disappearing. I have my only active lemmy account on here and since I have 0 real hosting costs I have no problem keeping this going indefinitely, I also think it might be an opportunity to change things up a bit. However first and foremost this is a place for you all, not for me alone, so your opinion about what should or should not happen to this instance weigh a bit more than my own. As such I (with input from ludrol, btw thanks for always being there for me to push decisions onto) have compiled a survey about that topic. Do feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments as well though.

With that out of the way I'd like to express a sincere thanks for all the fun discussions we've had here so far, I genuinely enjoyed every moment of them and look forward to more of them.

Trivia for anyone interested: they announced German licensing for Spice and Wolf as well as my Quiet Life as a Blacksmith (1st Parts alrewdy available)

 

Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan't be named now got removed for "linking to instance featuring pedo content".

Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM's would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

 

The initial hiccups with Federation seem to be resolved with 0.19.1-rc.1. Since I also managed to test the new Version of the Mestionora Bot (it should now actually post Part 2 and Part 3 Manga discussions in parallel instead of only Part 3, hooray) I will update the instance after PrePub discussions die down a bit.

Expected Timeframe is Wednesday 16:00 UTC - Wednesday 18:00 UTC.

During the Update changes to the expected downtime can be checked on status.bookwormstory.social.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask away.
