35 pages of intermission. Act 7's length is yet unknown.

Caliborn's preview had all 8 humans. It's just the trolls that are conceivably at risk.

Ubuntu doesn't even require you to know how to use the command line, so it's what I'd recommend. I'm sure there are many other distros that are the same. Fixing Linux is a slight pain in the ass if you've never used a command line or anything like that, but the basics are straightforward to pick up, and as long as you don't do anything weird and nothing goes wrong in a particularly weird way, that should be enough. Half the time when things are at their worst, you'll just be copying arcane commands off of a shady Russian web forum, anyway - and getting there's a matter of Google.

EDIT: In case I jumped too far ahead, a distribution, or "distro", is a particular type of Linux. The thing that's actually Linux is just a small thing at the core of the OS, and distros are built around it to the tastes of the developers. Ubuntu is a very popular distro, with tons of information available online for getting it up and running if something goes wrong with the user-friendly installation process.

There is absolutely no way it's worth that much per person. Presumably they expect it to be worth that much in aggregate, but it's worth noting that besides the obvious "We're gonna sell your shit to advertisers" motive, they expect a return in intuitively-designed software interfaces outcompeting other vendors who don't have access to that data, plus reduced tech support costs as they're able to shift resources according to which problems are the most common and severe, plus the ability to manage desktops remotely to reduce the ability of user ineptitude to fuck things up catastrophically, plus whatever other value they can extract that's not even occurring to me right now. Remember, for most of the world, ease of use is king - privacy, security, and whatever else you might care about doesn't even come close.

EDIT: Ninja'd

Cellulose is specifically what cows' gut bacteria are evolved to do to enable them to digest it.

Could be that it's still timeline-changing clusterfuckery like always, with Dirk-got-shot being a doomed one.

Looked to me like Roxy got punched, not chokeheld. At any rate, Jane might not be dead, but she might be. I feel like the exact specifics of the techniques involved aren't actually relevant - one punch/kick/chokehold/whatever isn't equivalent to another.

Also, the Condesce is confirmed for having Life powers as of Act 5. She extends the Ψiioniic's life while he's serving as her helmsman.

Unless I've somehow missed it every time, Dirk never got revived by Life powers - depending on which direction in time Dave traveled, there may be shenanigans available. I got nothing for Jane, though.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot those were things. We Intermission now, but we still have no clue how long Act 7 is, is my point.

Also, there's only about 40 pages of Homestuck left in Act 7. I'm having a hard time to believe that even Hussie could resolve all of the remaining plot points (and there are QUITE A LOT OF THEM) within such small space.
We still Act 6. 40 pages left of that, and then all of Act 7 (of undisclosed length) on 4/13. At least according to the current news post.

I've had a low-productivity day, but it was one of maximum recharging, and I still made good on the obligations I set for myself, more or less. Keeping up! The post above mine is good gravy on an already good day :)
