Ah yes, good old E2E AWA3E.
“End to end, and we are also an end”.

Theoretically, you can check the code actually running on the Signal servers is the code they publish under a free and open source licence, using the hardware-based TEE attestations the servers will return
Someone more knowledgeable than me may have managed to do so, I haven’t.

The Saturn version has a whole short film that serves as intro to the game too, with similar themes.

Possibly even more disturbing than the infamous Xbox 360 version.

Saturn Bomberman has a fun campaign you can play with a friend too.
- Comment on Ska ftw 5 weeks ago:
AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.

- Comment on Bread mold 2 months ago:
I think one theory is that it was central Asian horse-riding societies who started carrying milk on horseback, in saddlebags made out of animal bladders. The motion of the riding and the rennet left in the bladders churned the milk and turned it into cheese.
I remember also reading on a science magazine’s site this possibility that the first cheese made by humans was more of yeast-based preparation, without animal milk, but i can’t find the article mentioning that anymore.

Wtf, no, if you distribute you get the same result:
2 + 5(8 - 5) =
2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) =
2 + (40) + (-25) =
2 + 40 - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17

The panic felt by some sad men at the idea of failing some shittily defined masculinity test and the ways enterprising grifters cultivate and exploit that for influence and gain. Yay.

Thanks for this.
It really misses the point of why you’d want Jellyfin in the first place. Share a link to a film and give people the optionoption to watch it? Read something about a film before deciding toto watch it? Start watching something on Kodi then finish it later on your laptop?
How would mpv answer any of these…?

Ah ha, exactly

The future we hoped for: Dyson sphere, free unlimited energy
The future silicon valley shitlords are hoping for: let us sell you sunlight (or maybe lack thereof, wink wink)

Also, what’s international law like, in space? What consequences would be if you just shot down one of their satellites? (I say this with zero knowledge of how practical this even is)

Here’s a similar perspective: as a vegetarian, seeing advertisement selling meat is good: it means the animal exploitation industry is struggling and needs to promote their “product” which need nearly no advertising for years if not decades.
It’s very similar here: the advertising (in the form of putting it where you can’t miss it, in the tools you use everyday) is trying to convince you to use something many people are apparently just not that interested in.

There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that “white” as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as “tall” or “small hands”, ie: none.
We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.

That looks like a great reinterpretation of the character. Thanks for pointing this out!

Absolutely this. This is crucial to resisting fascism in its various forms: dehumanising is an extremely dangerous slope and used to prepare people to accept unacceptable things.
TERFs are people. Nazis are people. Murderers and rapists are people. Fans of Asmongold are people.
It may be hard to accept, and tempting to dehumanise, but please don’t.

Controlled by whom? For whose benefit?
This bit, on which a lot of the argument hinges, seems rather rose-tinted. An alarming number of women report being coerced into doing more than they agreed to, once on set.

Lobste.rs is probably even more on the “engineers talking to engineers” side of things. I’ve not visited in a while and am not sure what people there think of (the current crop of gen)AI.
