What the actual fuck is wrong with admins of SJW?

Please direct any seething that you may wish to do to the struggle session that's well underway over here.

Thought this instance puts things to vote so yeah, duck you too, goodbye.

I'm not judging someone who read the entire series or those who did it multiple times. People are free to enjoy what they want. Regardless of that, doing 8 months multiplied by even 2-3 times is a considerable chunk of a human lifespan. It explains takes like "I don't like the adaptation because it made too many changes" and it needs to be put into perspective. I've elaborated more on this in my other comment.

"This series is 1:1 replica of a book" and "this series is only taking a passing inspiration from original books" are merely facts and a starting point to set expectations before moving on to describe and judge an adaptation. It's okay to judge by comparing original to adaptation but "this is not a faithful adaptation, therefore it is bad" does not help in evaluating quality of derived work.

I guess it was up to e-scooter renting companies to come up with some kind of geofencing of reasonable parking but they failed to self-regulate which led to everyone being pissed off about them. If those companies were concerned about the spaces they littered they'd probably be still in business.

It's a good sign that abusing good faith is punished with such severity.

I agree that it's more cybersecruity related but given that this incident led to a food product recall there is a bit of a more broad appeal so I think fits this community.

No idea, I tried out Bean while it was in open test flight and was confused when the app dev went ahead with advertising this feature once it went paid. It's definitely a standout among other Lemmy clients but unfortunately it's half baked. I remained subscribed to this community to keep an eye out for when it is properly implemented.

It doesn't work and it's rather misleading to have as a paid feature until it does.

I don't believe critique of JK Rowling is left wing extremism although book burning as a form of consumer boycott seems to be rather counterproductive.

How about banning public book burning in general? Not a lot of good memories related to that.

Want to keep burning books? Have waste collection services provide a pickup point. Then they can do it in some industrial incinerator so you'll have your book burned but without providing media with an easy outrage (unless you wanted outrage?).

Book burning seems to be a tool of right wing extremism, even when it's used against right wing extremists of some other kind, there's very little benefit to the society.

Also obligatory, fuck organized religion.

Yeah, it's surprising since it should have lower CPU overhead. Here's Digital Foundry analysis: https://youtu.be/V9Kc8025H7U

9/6 is the PS5 date. Still no word from Larian on the Mac date - the last I heard was when they originally announced it would be delayed, and that they didn't want to give a date and not meet it.

I just checked Wikipedia which I think I got it from and it states 9/6 but the link cited as source doesn't state it anywhere.

grumble
