  • This is a good point. I assumed here that FS advocates will be basically opposed to a technology that serves to incorporate their code into software that does not provide the fundamental freedoms to end users, more than those who license their work permissively. But yes you could imagine an FS advocate who is quite happy to use the tech themselves and churn out code with GPL attached.























  • I mean, maybe? But what does the revolution even want? Stable non-creepy jobs and 40 hours a week subtracted from their outies’ lives so they can progress their office romance during breaks?

    I’m leaning towards some goal that’s more specific to Helena’s situation. Since her father has taken an interest in her innie behaviour it’s likely that she’ll get to continue as Helly R in some capacity but who even knows what his goals are at this point.


  • I’m cautiously optimistic there’s something else Helly R and Mark S can do (or think they can do) and we just don’t know where they’re running to yet. Mark S knows his work is done, especially after what he did to Drummond, regardless of what he thinks about his outie’s motivations. If you were at that exit stairwell (can he even use it? Helly couldn’t 🤷) and you knew that life inside was 100% hopeless then surely you’d take your chances with your outie’s reintegration.

    OTC was a convenient plot development for making the situation more flexible and it wouldn’t surprise me if we see another.
