With all problems at the border, in public education, debt and so on they chose to take on porn sites? Why?
Blaming someone else and using the "think of the children line", has worked previously in deflecting from the real issues.
The main one I can think of was the third-party clients. Were there other points of note?
There is a lot of NSFW content on Reddit, and for that I am happy. If they did anything to start becoming puritan to satisfy their new shareholders, then I feel they'd be damaging the brand.
Where the hell do you think they make their billions on Fortnite but by exploiting children?
Fair point. I was thinking of the manufacturing side.
Apple being shitty for a good number of things, does not invalidate Epic for being shitty in other ways.
I may not think highly of Epic, but when were they caught exploiting children?
Also France has actively collaborated with Japanese manga studios. Consider "Ulysses 31" (1981) and "The Mysterious Cities of Gold" (1982)., as examples. All this to say the French have had a relationship with anime and manga going back at least 40 years.
Would you fly a plane if a pilot wasn't using a checklist? You'll find that checklists are critical tools in many operations. It both provides a guide and a memory tool. Sometimes when system become too complex forgetfulness or over-confidence can get in the way.
I’d see it more as a collection of web servers that host the PDF and an associated metadata file, that mirror their data. I suppose something like the way DNS operates? Each one would also have a basic REST API (standardised via RFC) on how to query the data.
You’d then have a front ends that leverage that data for discovery.
We’d always probably want to make it so anyone could make a clone , via torrent or rsync. This way we wouldn’t be vulnerable to a single point of failure.
Previously I’ve considered the idea of academic and reasearcg research institutions hosting their own PDFs in a form that facilitates publishing and replication.
If you get away what main stream US media wants to portray, then youâ(TM)ll find anime and manga covers as a wide range of subject as live action Hollywood films.
There is something for everyone and it covers all age ranges and interests. Of course there is stuff that is clearly 18+, whether in terms of sexuality or other content matter. Yes, there are animeâ(TM)s and mangas that go a little over the top with âoefan serviceâ.
If you want to explore anime again, then starting with the films from studio Ghibli are a good start. Many consider them in the same category as classic Disney, but so much better and thoughtful (at least I do).
BTW âoeGrave of the Firefliesâ is another good film to watch, but it will leave you traumatised.
Where are you getting your data from to make that conclusion and are you based in the US?
For example, I can tell you manga is very popular in France. According to this article manga represented 55% of the comic book market in France:
What technology did you have in mind?
We have far better control systems and radios and things, but making rockets that don't
blow themselves to kingdom come if you look at them the wrong way is as hard in 2024 as it was in 1977. Or
for that matter, 1969.

Ion engines and derivatives, for propulsion. Improved cameras, computing and radio. Probably some new sensor types too, maybe for sampling any amount of gas that might be in the zone beyond the solar system ?
Given today's technology, I am curious how long it would take another space probe to reach the same point in space? It would be also be interesting what extra science it could do along the way?
When it comes to Epic vs Apple, I have little sympathy for either.
At the same time, if as a business, one of my business partners or customers signed a contract only to ignore it or spit in my face, repeatedly, then Iâ(TM)d be loath to trust them and the ability to see any value in their signature
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
