sysklogd is still around as well.

We've already seen that Gnosia can voluntarily out themselves. I don't really see much difference between that and betraying a teammate, but then a lot of the "rules" in this show don't hold together when you look at them closely from the outside, anyway.
To be exact, there is a noun "affect" whose plural would presumably be "affects", but it's a term of art in psychology and absolutely not the word that is wanted here.
It seems unlikely that keeping this service would make a significant dent in their bottom line, so why?
Next up was one that I noticed back when it was first shown, but had since forgotten about and just happened to stumble across a couple of weeks ago - Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? I thoroughly enjoyed it and especially liked the way they expanded such a simple concept into such an enormous and convoluted plot, but that enormous and convoluted plot was, as I began to suspect about halfway through, sort of a problem. It’s one of those light novel series adaptations that takes the route of telling its story in detail rather than condensing it, and that meant that it didn’t really manage to finish anything before it ran out of episodes. It even ended on multiple cliffhangers. I’m tempted to read the LN, just because I really did like the story and the worldbuilding, but unfortunately it’s probably more likely that I’ll just forget about it again.
I've read part of it—not to the end, but well past the point that the anime got to. It just gets more convoluted, and the focus shifts away from Everyone's Favourite Spider to a more ensemble-y situation, or at least that was my impression at the time. (We do find out why she ended up as a spider, specifically, though—it wasn't random.)

It's been a while, but I think this was the story where a bunch of the characters were fighting an elf in a mecha at the point I left off, if that gives you some idea of the level of insanity involved.
Because they fired the QA department years ago, in favour of non-rigorous testing by users crazy enough to run whatever Microsoft's version of a nightly build is. Because there's no testing plan, some sets of conditions never do get tested.
If Bing's database isn't good enough for you, Startpage supposedly uses Google's database and doesn't shoehorn AI into the results. You'll want an adblocker, though. (My usual order of query is Duckduckgo, then Startpage, then Mojeek if the other two didn't find anything useful.)
Yeah, I'm told by someone with some understanding of the billing system that it is weird (like, the number of hours doctors are allowed to bill for has only a loose relationship with the number of hours actually worked). If the system makes no sense to begin with, it's no surprise that the numbers look awfully strange.
My guess would be that there is a problem, but it's smaller than it initially appears.
The "O" word, actually: oligarchs (or their relatives or best buddies). Chances are that at least some of them are under sanction in more civilized countries.
Fuyumura's "what the heck are you going on about? What's wrong with you? Give me back my friend!" experience is one regrettably familiar to many aro-aces. 🫤
And apparently, if there's such a thing as Evil!Santa, he dresses like he works for the Mafia.
You don't, really, although "crime spree traced to out-of-work voice actor!" sounds like a plot from a Saturday morning cartoon several decades ago.
