I don't think it's intentional, but this show kinda promotes the idea that software whose code is freely (as in freedom) available is much better than proprietary ones.
After the "seed" code was released, better and more secure games were created, the VR technology also improved to not be deathly and you can move freely from one game to another like distro hopping.

@hfaust @dolus so when's the systemd arc
-
@hfaust wtf i love sao/linux now
-
@dolus @hfaust it's like poettering
-
@hakui I know I'm stretching the background and I'm biased, but the show does acknowledge that since the seed code is freely (as in freedom) available, VR games improved.
Who would've thought SAO was the show that promoted free software principles?
-
@hfaust same, quite surprised to hear that
-
@hfaust it's like me and wixoss, i guess
i don't even children's card games but the show is the one i'm excited about the most this season w

@dolus @hfaust more reason to go to bed early

@guizzy @hfaust thank you for your continued patronage of the timeline curation service. with effect from last week we have concluded our service. we are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused.

@hfaust life's too short to care about unpleasant things that also don't pose a threat, mm
hence i stopped trying to finish mises' book
-
@hfaust will you ever write your own detective story though?
i pondered about the idea several times but it's like putting on a full magic show and i don't think i'm cut out for that
-
@hfaust otagai ni zoizoi!
-
@hfaust i think getting just the right amount of clue dropping is the hardest part; too much and everyone solves it immediately, too little and the reader feels cheated

"I suppose the principal dilemma of the traditional or classic or straight-deductive or logic—and—deduction novel of detection is that for any approach to perfection it demands a combination of qualities not found in the same mind. The cool-headed constructionist does not also come across with lively characters, sharp dialogue, a sense of pace and an acute use of observed detail. The grim logician has as much atmosphere as a drawing-board. The scientific sleuth has a nice new shiny laboratory, but I’m sorry I can’t remember the face. The fellow who can write you a vivid and colorful prose simply won’t be bothered with the coolie labor of breaking down unbreakable alibis. The master of rare knowledge is living psychologically in the age of the hoop skirt. If you know all you should know about ceramics and Egyptian needlework, you don’t know anything at all about the police. If you know that platinum won’t melt under about 2800 degrees F. by itself, but will melt at the glance of a pair of deep blue eyes when put close to a bar of lead, then you don’t know how men make love in the twentieth century. And if you know enough about the elegant flânerie of the pre-war French Riviera to lay your story in that locale, you don’t know that a couple of capsules of barbital small enough to be swallowed will not only not kill a man—they will not even put him to sleep, if he fights against them."
well put

"If the situation is false, you cannot even accept it as a light novel, for there is no story for the light novel to be about."

"I think what was really gnawing at her mind was the slow realization that her kind of detective story was an arid formula which could not even satisfy its own implications. It was second-grade literature because it was not about the things that could make first-grade literature. If it started out to be about real people (and she could write about them–her minor nor characters show that), they must very soon do unreal things in order to form the artificial pattern required by the plot. When they did unreal things, they ceased to be real themselves. They became puppets and cardboard lovers and papier mâché villains and detectives of exquisite and impossible gentility. The only kind of writer who could be happy with these properties was the one who did not know what reality was."
-
@hfaust i guess the other way is to churn out huge volumes of work in the hope that several of them would be decent
