Jesus fucking hell. You really can only partially fault Melon Husk or Trumpeteer for this shit, I mean people seem to actively want to get exploited, hard.

It's like always with these right-wingers: The louder they yell, the more you know they're guilty. In particular any time one of them cries "Protect the children", you should just cut their dick off right then and there.

Other way around. Open Library is part of the internet archive. Given it's also vastly superior in quality and has tools to maintain and administrate the data, I very much prefer it over alternative offerings. If Bookwyrm at least had a curation/maintainence team or support group or something, and not everyone could just nilly-willy add duplicates of existing entries, then I could see more use for it.

But like others have said, it's also a bit of a different use case. If you want to pull data, definitely do it from OL. They're the same source Bookwyrm uses for its main data import, after all.

Considering who is behind it, I just use Open Library. In particular because like you say, their actual data is much more useful.

No that's just a typo, it's a big ass-fuck SUV actually.

Bold of you to assume the current administration will let you vote, except maybe as for where specifically the concentration camps for LGBTQ people will be built.

"Open the door to Chinese EVs" isn't a simple solution because it has wider reaches than restricting Tesla-imports. There's a reason Germany just effected tariffs on chinese EVs, namely because they are arguing that as china subsidizes their EVs, naturally non-subsidized local companies could never be price-competitive.

I don't know how that situation is in canada, but I bet similar things have to be looked at.

I like the solution, but it's not a simple one.

The last thing I want is for big corporations - independent of whether they're phone making or telecommunications companies - to decide "the future of eSIM".

Much like USB-C in the 🇪🇺 , this needs to be enforced as a standard via law!

Yeah same, also I don't usually need a year to think that. The next day often works. 😅

Oh I think you misunderstand me.

I'm not criticising who disagree with both parties, just those that did not vote and now want to pretend that didn't have an effect largely the same as a vote. Most voting systems cannot model non-voting, and hence it ends up being a vote in effect, and for whom is something you let somebody else decide then. It's silly to pretend otherwise. Abstaining means giving a vote to someone who you know won't win, that's the only way sadly.

To make abstaining visible you'd have to say, directly assign seats if the house to parties including that the percentage of non-voters forces seats to be left vacant or such. But I'm not sure anybody uses something like that, don't think so.

 

Here's a summary of my take on this situation: 🤬

Reminds me of seeing how long it has been (a bit over 4 years) since a good friend of mine was last online in Steam. Died suddenly before christmas. RIP. :'(

 

From Admiral Cloudberg's air crash series, of course.

On the 19th of May 2016, an Airbus A320 en route from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar at cruising altitude over the Mediterranean Sea, spiraling to its doom from 37,000 feet until it was dashed against the night-black water. What caused the loss of the EgyptAir flight and its 66 occupants should have been uncovered by a straightforward inquiry, but instead, the case quickly evolved into one of the more unnerving and unnecessary mysteries of 21st century aviation. The problem wasn’t that investigators couldn’t find the cause — it was that not all of them seemingly wanted to.

 

The big highlights:

  • New DoH/DoL quests in Wachumeqimeqi
  • Inconceivably further Hildibrand adventures!
  • New custom deliveries NPC

Chaotic Alliance raids arrives in one week, on the 24th (which is a weird date for new content, I'll be honest).

 

As we can see, there is a small performance hit with NVIDIA App. However, it’s nowhere close to what has been reported. On our PC system, it’s around 4-6%. And that’s mostly in CPU-bound areas. For instance, in Indiana Jones which is a GPU-bound game with Path Tracing, there isn’t any performance hit at all.

Ridiculous that this was even a discussion.

 

But don't let her hear I said that, she's 12 and obviously the youngest kitten possible! (she's not tiny, the bed is just oversized)

 

Not sure how particulary I think about it.

I kinda agree though because, honestly, I genuinely like prodding at RL-issues in my video games, but if the best the writers can do is some MCU-level shit that I would expect in Forspoken or Fortnite, then I really wish they'd not. It just feels like making fun of transgender people with how terrible the scene's dialogue is (there's a video in the article).

Plus, as the update says, they couldn't even be arsed to search through the previous games for whether this was already talked about.

Sigh.

Still, the game is far better than I expected it to be, so this isn't just a rant, but I wish the dialogue in particular had decent writing behind it, it breaks immersion near-constantly even if the general scene and story were done well.
