I don’t usually like Disney but I’m already loving that blue mutilated snake. Bring it on.

Has anyone here read/played Metro 2033 and beyond?

Gen AI should be an optional tool to help us improve our work and life, not an unavoidable subscription service that makes it all worse and makes us dumber in the process.

The entire world needs European services at this point.

Was about to comment that. I’m never trusting dual boot with Windows installed.

Yeah, Sean Penn is fucking amazing. 🫶

We could more or less camouflage it under some kind of hardcore, daring and unflinching vibe. Show empathy and tolerance, but make it look like we’re a fearless Sean Penn and couldn’t give less of a fuck.

Thank you.

They won’t. These people wouldn’t care if they were burning alive as long as it meant whoever they hate was suffering even more.

The point, I believe, wasn’t about spam but likely got derailed. It was probably about the phone number requirement being unnecessary. I’ll just add that even if it is, it’s a measure geared towards common users that often need to recover access to their accounts through means they’re already familiar with, as is a verification SMS. It’s not the safest nor the most private, but it’s easier to deal with for most people. Whoever wants something that doesn’t depend on a SIM or eSIM should try Briar and SimpleX. None of these will be a perfect solution for every single person though.

At this rate future generations will be entirely made of plastic.

I’d make backups of my purchases and share them with love for preservation and promotion of their authors hard work. “Piracy” was already shown to increase sales, not reduce them. If you really want to do something against an artist you no longer align with, dont consume their products. Don’t purchase, don’t download and don’t share their stuff. Just look around for other artists you do align with, get hooked to their art and support them instead.

None. I dislike some actors, but so many other people pour part of themselves into these things and influence each other when developing them that it’s impossible for me to not have at least some curiosity.

Your instincts are probably well placed. Obviously different people will have different preferences and reactions in this regard, but you’re better off getting to know people in a friendly manner than just for the sake of finding a partner. Learning how to strike up conversations with strangers and leave them wanting for more is useful, but that’s about all I’d say your parents are right about.

Important to note Aaron was helping democratize information while companies like Meta, Amazon, Google and Microsoft just centralize, twist and redact information to monetize access to a dumbed down and censored version of it.
