I know Ainz Ooal Gown when I see him...

The heroes by Joe Abercrombie By all means not a nieche author. Goddamn he makes the fights seem so tense and exciting, with just enough involvement/information for you to not pick sides before the fight happens, but still be very excited about the outcome.

I would be very worried if this was 'final, and now we will do it as written' but it seems to be just another iteration.the critique is great and I just hope they listen.

I am not shocked, but i'd save disappointed for when they try to do it and noone uses it because of these reasons.

Gut aber auch irgendwie beunruhigend. Das hört sich so an als hätten sie gemerkt dass es nicht durch geht und indem sie es vertagen ersparen sie sich ein definitives 'nein'.

Mal sehen, aber ich glaube wir werden bald wieder was hören.

As someone who sees these articles, who should I not vote for? Is there some ranking for 'most asshole-ish politician' regarding the EU? I know every politician has somewhat dirt on them but I'd love to know what to avoid since apparently some of those turds are worse than others.

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a ~~beamer~~ projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of 'always on' machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though something like popcorn time would also be nice, though that's also something that I would only use behind a vpn for obvious reasons.

I have a pi5 or and some older NUCs hanging around that run well with Ubuntu. I know that something like kodi does not play nice with Netflix (iirc because of drm).

Should I use the pi? Or better an Ubuntu and do the power management best I can myself?

What would you guys say is a good way to try this out?

Edit: TIL I thought beamer is a word that German borrows from English, so I assumed it's the same. Nope, in German 'beamer' has very weird roots (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videoprojektor) so Germany stole an English word 'beam' but it meant project... Weird

In general the article seems to be a summary of current legislative actions that are ongoing between big tech and EU. Though in the article it's worded with the much more fitting 'game of chicken between EU and Big Tech' rather than something like the title, but I guess "drop dead has a better ring to it"...

I general the article has a lightly optimistic tone, which I very deeply hope holds true.

[...]Plants vs. Zombies Jordan Adams, and Director Partnerships at EAX Matthew Angeleri.

Adams would also send female coworkers pornographic videos and even reference them in EA Slack conversations

While that seemed like an act of goodwill, Angeleri privately sexually harassed said female coworkers and even followed it up with videos of himself having lewd acts performed on himself.

Why the article can't just state what the allegations are and at whom is just annoying, so here you go.

What confuses me a bit is the sentence just before the allegations to Angeleri:

As for Matthew Angeleri, he invited his female coworkers to stay at his home with his wife while visiting Vegas where they were given free room and lodging. While that seemed like an act of goodwill, Angeleri privately sexually harassed said female coworkers and even followed it up with videos of himself having lewd acts performed on himself.

Like... What? What is the logical connection between these two sentences? There could be months or years between those two events? How do these two relate? This reads as two completely separate events. So one could just be an act of goodwill and afterwards he decided to be a prick. Or, first the was a prick and then felt bad and offered the coworker a place to stay?

And if the two events were concurrent that makes it immensely more creepy.

Am I too European / social health care to understand? /s

In all seriousness, as a European it's unimaginable to force myself to work for a week, just to get everyone else sick and cause way more loss than if I had just stayed home...

Unless you're self employed, then you might be fucked.

This seems to be posted on this forum with that title solely for rage-bait.

She clearly just-for-fun redesigned Wikipedia as if a modern company got a hold of it. Yes of course this would drive people in this forum up a wall, but that's just not the point. This is also not about programming at all?

Don't go around looking for content of other creators just to take it out of context and then bash it.

This is like you watched "we made marvel r-rated" from corridor digital (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=k5-3eujJyZE) and then post about it, being pissed how they destroyed a superhero fantasy aimed at a wide audience and children and how noone would ever want something like that.

Calling her a bad designer just because you disagree with her design decisions is just mean. This entire post just makes it seem like you are specifically looking for things to hate...

I really like reading these kinds of optimizing posts, it's usually a quite thankless task but really amazing

[-] zweieuro@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago

I really think it's disgusting to boldly claim this is just to protect children. Then get the proposal denied with very valid reasoning that everyone's privacy would be compromised.

And then, a few months later, they have the exact same argument again with the same proposal as before... This seems deeply disrespectful of the subject matter

It feels like a someone is trying to steal a cookie from a cookie jar, but when mum said no you just try again the exact same way...

Hi! With all the stuff going on I want to switch to Firefox. I got incredibly used to the sidebar in Opera Though and really want something similar.

E.g. Having WhatsApp in the side tab and not in the header tabs (so I can't close it accidently) or different t workspaces for different projects has proven incredibly helpful. Also on opera I can open 2 Windows with the same workspace and get different tabs making it really useful for programming.

I've looked around for plugin like that but could only find one where the tabs were also shown on the side and the top.

If anyone could help me here that would be great, I am really on the fence of switching to way land and ff on my machine.
