@volpeon really gotta love the fact they *refuse* to sell you a V2 license by now as well. High Seas maybe?

creative-space really enshittyfied itself ey? But I guess there were enough warnings this would happens and stuff... Hope you find a solution for yourself

@eefi I blame the british

@desea pretty surely you can get real books for cheaper (even free!)

I would not be surprised though that for most people it just goes as shallow as "It looks better when that space is filled"

Imagine having space on a shelf left for that!

@Paradox @desea meanwhile... my bookshelves (digital and real) are just stuffed mostly with entertainment literature.

But sure looks smart

@desea If you wanted to be charitable you could say its just to fill up "yet not filled with books"-space so it looks better (maybe).

I do have bookshelfs here and they do be filled with books (partly). Though most are books I already and I am not one to read books multiple times.

Certainly has a different vibe than a digital collection.

If you want the less favorable outcome. Fuck these people only having fake books. Not real bookworms!

@desea That said as you say a male person usually and in general has it better than most women.

Though for the single person I guess if they know or not will depend on their knowledge of these things. I guess it also comes into play here that most mangaka of these are male.

But yeah its a fantasy there is no space for critique on society. If its in there than you are certainly not reading a harem-story.

@eefi Some words are really just horrible to pronounce tbh

@desea You have to consider that this stuff is often written by male mangaka for a male audience. Your typical Shonen (the non-action variant) stuff.

That does change somewhat when you look at works from female mangaka. Though there you *can* have the opposite stuff happen.

Though that said I think the female MCs are usually better. They are not as dense.

Then there is also the typical rom-com elements which break a lot of series. but tbh I am not too much into SoL.

But yeah the whole "lets both be so dense we not talk about we like each other for 1000+ chapters" is a thing. But still better than your typical harem-stuff

Sim Racing can be so fun and silly.

I had some fun for some hours hotlapping the famous M3 Touring 24h round the Nürburgring. Way too much fun. Still hella slow doing a 9:13 on the Endurance Layout.

A wagon being a GT3 basically still is way to silly but fun.

IRL with proper drivers its a proper GT3 car with the times to match

@quad dunno did you play SAO Fractured Daydream or not?

They did add a mode to it to play in singleplayer now as well. You will still need to connect to the server though. and rewards are not that high as in Multiplayer and you can't get stuff of a certain rarity.

But it certainly leaves the door open to them patching the game fully single player when its EOL

@quad sums up my ideas fairly well. Though I use mine often enough that a daily charge was needed on the FP3

@quad I mean e/OS is fine as you say. And my phone usage comes down to the basics anyway. but having a microG-option instead of needing the full google suite is a nice bonus.

I don't really care all to much if its "fully" degoogled or not. Hell I still use a Google account over microG for simpler downloading of apps over those alt-playstores.

it is nice that e does include a proper tracking and ad-blocker system-wide. For web-browsers I could use fennec (thank you uBlock Origin the GOAT!) and the rest of my apps is more likely then net foss. Some apps had ads though when I did not have root.

It is though quite nice that e has safety net patches included as well if one really needs them.

I was bigger into tinkering with android like 10+ years ago but nowadays I prefer stuff to just work OOTB. Just not wanting to spend the time on that anymore really.

So yeah I took e/OS and also installed another launcher and called it a day really. The FP6 does work better with it than my FP3 with microG that had some smaller issues. Like GPS taking fucking ages to locate. FP6 seems fine in that way.

Other than that I can atleast (hopefully) count on e to get my updates in a regular shedule and use the FP6 for a long time. Maybe someday postmarket also gets more stable on it. Would be cool.

e/OS has me kinda frustrated right now.

Like they patched out a basic function from android way back and never added it back it in again after stuff changed.

I mean come one accent color customization is a thing since Android 12.

e/OS does not have it. they did not add it back yet.

Seemingly they removed it for reasons of looking ugly sometimes back in the day when apps don't adhere to it.

So basically: You can get any color you want as long as its blue.

@puniko hewwo puni

hello from the fairphone 6

@quad fun indeed. I do not particularly for that right now Android 15 will be fine

@quad just need to find that FP6 android 16 image

@quad yeah having nicer phone that does not do that surely is a great thing....

ah yes the best android experience there is.

Get Fairphone 6
turn it on.
Update the software on it to Android 16
Install e/OS using the web installer.

*looks inside*

Its android 15

*bootloops*

Oh fun times so now I am download an Android 15 stock rom and e/OS and flash all the shit manually.

never the automatons! (or I need to be less dumb lol)

@fristi nice now you made @rick wanna have a cup as well
