Sally the Witch? It’s clear whomever the musicians are, they haven’t seen much anime and voted for the songs of animes they recognize (I also recognize Sally the Witch having seen that as a child in the '80s, but it definitively doesn’t belong to any ranking of the best anime songs).
Plain wireguard. Or maybe Pangolin?
Lemmy isn’t social media? Given that it is mostly a federated reddit clone, I would argue it is. Probably even more social than reddit considering that reddit has now more bots than people, unlike Lemmy (at least for now), and I think that a platform full of bots talking among themselves is not really “social”.
That’s why I said less negative impact.
And we can’t change human nature, but we can force social media companies to change.
This. Pre-2010 social media, which basically showed a feed with the posts of the people you followed, had a lot less negative impact on people. The engagement maximization strategy multiplies “negative” news, because outrage apparently engages more than good news. And current algorithmic feeds like TikTok destroy attention span and make people dumber.
And while we’re at it, ban (or at least heavily regulate) dating apps, the only business where the companies sell the opposite product of what they supposedly offer. If people find long-term partners through the apps they would stop using them, so the companies are incentivized to help you not find love and real relationships.
I stopped reading the light novel because of that.
The power scale rised continuously and too quickly, up until what would be the 4th or so season in the anime, where the author introduced divine mechas from space (or something like that, I don’t care enough to remember), which of course could only be piloted by Yuuta.:::
Not that I don’t agree with your sentiment, but patents (technical methods to build machines, do stuff, etc.) are different from copyright (stories, characters, etc… the one Disney has exploited for decades).
And additionally, China takes advantage and the EU starts doing more business with them.
China tried to keep itself very neutral in the Ukraine/Russia war (at least on the outside), and it even distanced itself from Putin in the last months. It would be a perfect chance for them to strengthen their economic ties with the EU.
Trump has really freaked up the soft power balance of the world. It was slowly decaying before, but he really pushed the Turbo button.
They’re really speedrunning the story. We’ll see how that goes.
