Bummer, but I'll keep mailbox.org in mind.

Praise Jesus! (I guess I'm only half joking)

I have mixed feelings because I think anime has been going through a bit of a minor renaissance the last few years with some excellent studios and new movie / tv show productions. However, I would definitely say that anime is becoming really safe in the decision making when it comes to "big budget" anime.

I really respect Rintaro though after having only just recently watched Galaxy Express 999 movie 1 & 2 and Metropolis, all three of which are noteworthy productions.

It's worth noting that Rintaro has announced he is writing for a new Galaxy Express movie after nearly 30 years since the last one, so he's probably thinking a lot about some of the themes of that movie series and the roll that reboots have on society as part of this process. And, also, our current "content" focused society.

I should have known that DFO was an AI project. I did pop up at the height of this AI RE stuff.

Greenlight had its problems but I see what you mean.

Interesting thoughts on this.

I think it's only natural as part of cultural transferral, as you mentioned, but would agree that games hit a little differently than films in this regard. I think this probably has more to do with Youtube's ability to transfer feelings of nostalgia around subjects in ways that previous generations didn't have moreso than gaming being different fundamentally.

It's certainly interesting times. When people younger than the games express nostalgia for games they didn't even play, it's always a bit of a double take. I would argue this is happening more with films as well, with things like Jurassic Park.

Does Tuta work with external mail clients like Thunderbird and all that? How does that work vis-a-vis encryption?

I dodged a bullet on proton, but this is something I'd like to know eventually as I feel like changing away from gmail is an inevitability.

I agree but the silver lining here is that more geeks finally see what artists, writers and musicians had been complaining about for years. It took sucking the soul out of gaming and games preservation to finally convince a specific subset of the nerddom that, no, AI actually fucking sucks.

They'd still do this even if they had the opportunity to not do it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again-- the only thing AI is good at is defrauding others. It's literally what it is trained to do.

It probably depends on what state or country you live in. Mine was also boring and mostly factual.

"fake" news eh? Hmm, we'll see about that I guess.
