  • I've had the opposite experience with their cloud services in a professional context. My biggest gripe is with United Internet, the monopolistic company that owns IONOS, 1&1 (an ISP) as well as the ad-ridden, flaming pile of garbage that are GMX and WEB.DE, two of the most popular email service providers in Germany as well as a constant source of pain for anyone operating an Email server. They will ignore common industry standards and best-practices, silently block your mailserver for absolutely no reason, not respond to inquiries and just generally make the internet a slightly worse place for small to medium sized businesses and selfhosters.

  • There's a link for alternate packings on that page, where you can see older versions, some with more aesthetically pleasing patterns of minimal tilted squares or symmetry. All of them use a larger value for s though and it's hard to tell where your version would fit in.

  • Die Schuld für diesen Blödsinn trägt ja wohl weiterhin die US Regierung und deren Lakaien. Natürlich ist das aktuell eine grundsätzlich schlechte Idee dort einzureisen, aber ich habe wenig Verständnis für die Kommentare die hier großkotzig ihren Empathiemangel in die Welt tragen, nur weil sie selber keinerlei bestehende Beziehungen zu diesem Land haben. Man könnte meinen der Umgang der USA mit ausländischen Staatsbürgern sei so gerechtfertigt: "trifft ja eh nur die Idioten" denkt sich so jemand vielleicht...

  • Wow, einfach Freunde in einem Land mit einer problematischen Regierung besucht und dann auch noch versucht einen Geburtstag zu feiern. Ganz schön frech! Da hat sie wirklich alles verdient was ihr passiert und ist definitiv auch selbst schuld daran.

  • There is definitely more overhead involved (mostly due to proton) but not as much as you might think. The Plasma session has no performance impact, because it isn't running when you're not in desktop mode. Being a "full Linix distro" really doesn't affect the gaming performance.

  • Frieren is the obvious recommendation, with character-driven storytelling focused on philosophical themes. It is genuinely one of the best shows I've seen and it's rare that my expectations for a manga adaptation are blown out of the water so completely. Delicious in Dungeon is also excellent and has more of a focus on little details and creatures (and food, of course) with a very different approach to storytelling and a smaller scope.

    I'm a big fan of the comedy and character design in Helck, even if the production quality of the anime can't quite match up to my other recs. The manga is definitely visually superior. The contrast between the darker aspects of the story and the comedic delivery is pretty unique as well.

    Mushishi is an episodic seinen anime focused on mythology and has some of the most beautiful background art, though it has more of a historical setting with supernatural fantasy elements. If virtual fantasy settings are allowed, then I recommend Shangri-La Frontier, which looks like Isekai at first glance, but thankfully is not. It's also by far the most shonen anime on this list, but very entertaining.

    Those are what comes to mind, but I'm sure I'm missing some obvious picks.

  • Campfire cooking in another world and Welcome to demon school, Iruma-kun! are my main recommendations. There's also some trash that would fit your criteria, but I wouldn't recommend watching that (like that one slime tamer anime I can't recall the title of). Also a dozen or so otome villainess reincarnation anime should fit your criteria, those are getting pretty popular now, though I haven't watched any of the anime yet. Also some older stuff like Inuyasha might be up your alley, but honestly it's been too long since I've seen them in their entirety, so I can't really remember. Obviously Isekai is by far the most fan service-y theme in every possible way since most of it leans into power fantasy aspects to flatter the target demographic. In fact, if this was an actual honest question, I would recommend looking at the broader fantasy category, where there is a lot more variety and quality to be found.

  • They do have free will but where have you seen any depiction of morality as humans understand it? You also need to understand that a characters thoughts and actions are up to your own interpretation and do not necessarily reflect the authors opinions. Even if I were to disagree with Frieren the character as strongly as you seem to, then it still wouldn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. I don't need my entertainment to regurgitate my own morals to me.

  • Why is that sad? The depiction of demons as creatures that are incapable of empathy and exploit human compassion as an evolutionary strategy is interesting and makes for good drama and moral conflicts in the show. I'm honestly tired of the standard plot about demons just being misunderstood poor little babies that humans bully for seemingly no reason. I understand why that is a popular theme - it resonates with most of our own history after all, but it's been done to absolute death.
