Well… Piracy it is, then.

You can literally get that sleek glassy look on Linux too.

Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.

Steam engines.

The vast majority of our power comes from making something really hot and boiling water. Coal plant? Oil plant? Gas plant? Nuclear fission plant? Geothermal plant? The grand holy grail of energy production that would be a nuclear fusion plant? All steam engines.

Yes, unbeknownst to everyone, this is what a steampunk society realistically looks like.

The rest of this month.

I know. I like online content as well. Some of the games I spent the most hours in (Warframe, Helldivers 2) are these kinds of games. But if a corpo lobbying group is forcing the choice between “Enshittified always online” or “never any online content ever anymore” I’ll choose the latter.

Yeah, that’s weird. They should be written in Klingonese.

… as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist…

There are third party options for this.

… and would leave rights holders liable.

Liable for what? A service everyone knows they’re no longer providing? Are car manufacturers still liable for 50 year old rusty cars people still drive? Can Apple today be held liable for a software vulnerability in the Lisa or the Mac II?

In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

Then don’t design games that way. Don’t make games like these. This is good news, actually.

Very unlikely. He hasn’t made any content covering the initiative yet.

They were still alive?

We’ve done nothing and already completely ran out of ideas!

An ezel. You know, the kind that artists use to put their cavvas on.

I’m a digital artist, so I have a display drawing tablet. Eventually having the tablet completely horizontally flat got annoying to draw on. I ended up sitting cross-legged and awkwardly perching the table on the edge of my desk on my lap to get some sort of comfortable angle on it. However that was annoying too.

I went and looked what a tablet stand costed for my tablet model and… It damn near costed the same as my tablet! The. I had an idea. There’s this cheap ass hardware store called Harald Nyborg in Denmark, maybe they have cheap ezel?

Lo and behold they do. Made from the crappiest cheap wood available, it serves its purpose perfectly! I’ve had it for a few years now and never needed to think about getting that dedicated stand for my tablet.

Hey, man! A kid sneezing is very serious fucking business! What if the kid sneezes a second time? What then, huh!?

Not even close.

Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.

I really don’t think a president of the United States is all that powerful. Trump can’t pull off anything if his party is against him, or if he doesn’t have any powerful friends.

I don’t get why people in America hype up the role of president so much.

Sanders hardly got any publicity. And like Sanders, I thi i This Guy gets some publicity now, but eventually the media will stop caring.

The only kinds of publicity that keeps going in the American media are extreme “America first! America number one!” type rhetoric, or the kind that’s easily demonised.

Stuff that makes too much sense never lasts long.

But New York is probably the most world-wide well known city, and he’s running for mayor in it with some rather European-left sentiments. That’s no small thing.
