Crossposting apparently buries the rest of the post. Here’s what I wrote.

“Girl’s Frontline is not a story about AIs learning to love, it’s about AIs learning to hate. And we are excellent teachers.” - The Anime Detective

The best way to experience the story is the game, but if you need an easier on-ramp, the manga is better than the anime.

Best I could find, they reposted an animation @gianmarcogg03 made using their software:

kenmei.co does this.

It lets you know whenever a new chapter’s out for something on your list, and clicking on the title takes you to whatever platform you picked for that manga.

They only have something like a dozen sites or so, but it beats having your list break when a site goes down.

How it sounds in my head:

[T]he reason why people care so much about Twitter and finding a good replacement is not because of total user numbers: Twitter was always the smallest of the Big Tech platforms after all. Twitter and X matter because of its unparalleled ability to generate culture and shape politics. Twitter and X are the places where elite consensus is formed. It is the dominant platform for shaping our collective understanding of the world. That’s why control over X’s algorithm (and chatbot) is so valuable: it is not about telling individuals what is correct, but it is about influencing what people think about what other people think.

So Twitter/X is where people higher in the hierarchy go to publicly perform their opinions, while people lower in the hierarchy sort themselves into their teams.

That sounds like the classical Greek democracy I remember from school.

But hearing it laid out like this (“elite consensus”) sounds instinctively gross.

In two years, only these two guys thought of buying more shampoo.

Your Honor, I rest this guy’s case.

I think it’s normal to not be into stuff.

Hating stuff that you have the option to not interact with seems like extra work.

Yea, sacred was an odd word choice. I’ve met at least one trans person who was actively unholy.

What you do is you go into the tumblr mines to screenshot someone else’s considered takes, and then be the first to post it somewhere else.

I would go broader and say that the privilege of wealth is freedom from consequences.

You can sell me on Piefed without trying to cancel Lemmy out of nowhere.

How does it compare to mbin as a Lemmy alternative?

I use Caesium for image compression.

Not shilling, since both seem to be free and open-source image compressors.

How’s MAZANOKE different?

It sounds like a protection racket.

“Sure would be a shame if your package arrived in… less than ideal condition.”

Where is the person I’m talking to?

Where is the person/thing I’m talking about?

I’m sure there are grammar rules for when to use which, but anyone who speaks English could tell you that’s neither here nor there.

Testing testing…

It works when I use the direct link (https://postimg.cc/RN0r6qp8).

When I use the regular link (https://i.postimg.cc/15GydqG9/Image-20250602-145924.jpg), it says failed to load in Voyager.

Patreon dropped them.

Also, not necessarily on the verge anymore.

o7 to the developers, but I can’t help but think the Venn Diagram of people who would pay for this is incredibly small.
