Yeah, real shame Maemo never got anywhere. I really liked the idea.

Atop being so negative about slavery, because we want to bring it back.

All these tech giants have their own area where they are the absolute worst, and other areas where they’re not as bad as some of the others.

Apple sucks on app store restrictions, but on the desktop OS, the respect user privacy more than Google and MS do. Google is the absolute worst on ads, tracking and using search to leverage their monopoly, but they’ve also made a ton of cool stuff, including Android. MS makes the worst piece of shit OS and forces everybody to use it while they make it worse, but I’m sure there’s also something they do right.

I like the idea, but I’m annoyed by the inconsistency.

The þ is the th sound in “both”, but not the th sound in “the”; that’s a ð.

Ðough, ðat, ðere

Þorough, boþ, þree

Dude, if you’re going to do this, you should really be spelling ‘that’ like ðat.

Why?

This is exactly it. It has always been up to the browser to decide how to render a website. There have always been differences. The idea that a browser can honour or ignore parts of the content has always been part of it.

If anything should be illegal, it should be websites 's constant attempts to bypass user preferences. Some of that shit is plain malware.

I don’t think any CRPG is RP heavy. I don’t think it’s possible for a computer game to roleplay. Well, maybe if they integrate LLMs? But generally, any RP happens entirely in the player’s head.

I think CRPGs that are sometimes seen as RP heavy, are just very well written. That’s not the same thing, although I suppose it’s possible for good writing to inspire RP in the player. But that depends as much on the player as it depends on the writing.

I enjoyed the original VTMB a lot, mostly because of its excellent atmosphere.

Return them. Give someone else the chance to enjoy them too.

My library doesn’t charge late fees for children’s books, but does for other books.

Your argument is that Russian state media is more reliable than a truly independent and thoroughly sources platform with a stellar reputation for quality and accuracy? That is what you want us to believe?

Because nobody is going to believe that.

I’ve got to upvote you for “climate couscous”. Sounds delicious.

I only got my driver’s license because my wife insisted on it. She didn’t want to be the only one to shuttle the kids around. So I got my license and shuttle them around on my cargo bike, and then teach them to ride their own bike. I still rarely use the car. When we go anywhere by car, she insists on driving.

I would really love to see one, but there is none. The Greens and Libertarians aren’t it, and the America Party certainly isn’t it.

There should be a broad party with just these four issues:

• Fix the broken electoral system
• Fight government corruption
• Restore the rule of law (hold powerful criminals accountable)
• Healthcare

Run good, credible candidates for every seat on every level, and I don’t see how you can lose.

Well, unless the media ignores you, which will probably happen.

Republicans rarely have a majority of the congressional votes. They get their majority in Congress from uneven representation and gerrymandering. In proportional representation, they’d lose their majority.

It is different, and I would indeed argue it’s better. And let’s face it, you are mostly voting for parties anyway. How many independents are there really?

But if you want to have district representatives, you could do a hybrid system where half the seats are assigned by district, and the other half are assigned from a national list to fill out the proportionality.

Republicans would be getting most of their seats from districts, Greens and Libertarians would get them entirely from the national list, but at least they’d get representation.

Anything to punish pregnant women.

In fact, the US actively opposes the ICC and has made Microsoft block the chief prosecutor’s email

Very well documented is the fact that in the 1980s, Israel supported Hamas to undermine the PLO, because the PLO wanted a two-state solution and Hamas and Israel did not. Hamas has long provided Israel with the excuse to keep escalating.

Star Wars being incredibly prescient.

Get rid of districts and fill Congress through proportional representation. That solves so many problems.
