This is the best summary I could come up with: It's "members of Congress, conservative activists and wealthy tech investors."

Who are all these extremist wackos who don't already want to abolish capitalism?

When I played it the answer was to run "SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" instead of whatever stupid launcher it tries to load by default.

You might think that things have changed over the years, but I was around in 1995 and I can assure you this looked exactly as ridiculous then as it does now.

AI that is used to monitor cameras and identify our faces to track everywhere everyone goes: Why would that concern you? Do you have something to hide, citizen?

AI that might be used to generate agitprop, competing with conventional advertising: HOLY SHIT we need a new international treaty right away!

He's wrong on both points.

I thought the plan was immediate violent revenge? Gaza has been under siege since 2007 and if it ever seemed likely that it was all part of a grand strategy that could some day end in peace, that time is long past.

vastly expands the pool of potential victims

I'm not brave enough at the moment to say it isn't some kind of crime, but creating such images (as opposed to spamming them everywhere, using them for blackmail, or whatever) doesn't seem to be a crime that involves any victims.

Not sure if it's from an alternate universe or from our own future, but somewhere there is a version of this article that's like "Today, the market for Mastodon alternatives is a crowded one to say the least. There are numerous services for consumers to try, including the open-source based Misskey, smaller startups like Pleroma, plus the Elon Musk-based product formerly known as Twitter."

 

Mozilla seems to be asleep at the wheel, when it once drove online activity and communications. We have some suggestions where it could go.

 

Steve talks about the critical importance of product content and the role it plays in whether consumers abandon their shopping carts, make a purchase, or return a product. In fact, 70% of online shoppers say product content can make or break a sale.

 

I like small mods that make a big difference. It's simply a better Magelight that comes in various colours. If you've got lighting mods that make dark places really dark, it's all the more useful. I like the red one, since it looks okay and a backyard astronomer long ago told me that red is the colour to use to avoid spoiling your night vision.

It may require a bug fix or two if you want to put down large numbers of lights everywhere, such as along the roads as you travel at night in the fog at new moon. I think it was possibly the Community Shaders "light limit fix" which made that work for me.

But even without that, it's nice to be able to stick a few long-lasting colourful lights on the ceiling in the course of a dungeon crawl to light up a big area when your cover is blown and you want to see what's going on, and to mark where you've been. Or depending on other lighting settings, just make it possible to see who you're talking to in the Ragged Flagon. It changed Magelight from something I never bothered using to one of my most-used spells.

 

I've installed a dozen more mods and am starting out in Skyrim once again. I can't remember any other one that's made a bigger difference than this. Finally my personal version of Skyrim has forests that feel like real forests, where you can't see all that far a lot of the time and it'd be easy to get lost if you didn't have a compass.

Sure, that is achieved by making the trees fantastically big and closer together than you'd expect for such giants, but it makes sense to me and it looks great from ground level when you're in the woods. There's obviously less gravity on Nirn judging from how high I can jump carrying a 200kg backpack, so why shouldn't the trees grow bigger? The only problem I've seen so far is that wild animals occasionally have trouble navigating, such as an elk that just ran headfirst into a tree instead of going anywhere. But they do that kind of thing sometimes in pure vanilla Skyrim as well.

It's just beautiful. I prefer "mythic" mode. It's what I always wanted in a video game forest.

 

I never did get any of the DLC when I played it on the PS3. Finally I will get to experience the horse armor.
