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

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).

Yeah calling this official support isn’t quite what is actually happening. “Windows works now on the SteamDeck OLED” on the other hand doesn’t generate as many clicks…

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.

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.

Seems like everyone around them is shipping those two. Though I doubt Shrimp’s dream of more Urumin hardcore fans will become true given the other ultras consciously steer clear of her so the ship can sail

Danmachi (Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon - blame the editor for the title, the author originally wanted one matching the story more closely) comes to mind, that series has been going on for over a decade now and, at least for me, it has been getting better and better with every volume. It’s got its problems (mostly certain characters being overly annoying) but it’s awesome nonetheless. Even now (I’ve read up to and including Volume 17) there are still questions open from the first Volume with most plot developments only deepening existing plot threads instead of opening up new ones.

Disclaimer: Danmachi is also the story that made me start reading Light Novels so my take on it is bound to be extremely biased.

Surprisingly I could see that being a worthwhile thing for a lot of people I know

Can’t speak for where you live but if the optician is being a, excuse the expression, little bitch about it then that is poor behaviour on their part. I have never heard of an optician refusing to hand out the measurements here.

On a slightly related note: Opticians often get the glasses made elsewhere and simply install them into the frames (at huge markup), you could try locating a glass supplier and have your glasses made by them directly (saves you a bunch of money, speaking from experience). Assuming they offer individual glasses of course.

Bro really just vanished without providing the sauce

Had the pleasure of watching the first episode last week and it’s gonna be great. I really can’t wait for this to finally start airing

Unfortunately I don’t know, I only heard about the support duration from one of our systems IT guys. Even if it isn’t more expensive (or even if it’s cheaper) companies will prefer the longer license because IT staff migrating these machines costs a lot of money (and sometimes the migration isn’t without problems which costs even more) so they try to minimize the frequeny of migrations as much as possible.

I feel like we’ll get weekly updates just from countries reaching the threshold.

Win 10 LTS is a 10 year license, Win 11 LTS 5 years. There’s your answer.

At least it’s not a termination again but I suppose we’ll see a lot more of these going forward, being a VTuber isn’t exactly the easiest job plus it can be considerably restrictive on the talent’s private life.

Nothing to do but to wish her the best for whatever she has planned for after Hololive.
