I’d honestly suggest using your ears and deciding if you can tell the difference. My music library is under 20GB so I do not fuss too much, but I am not truly sure I can tell the difference.

You can get extensions which make the homepage redirect to your subscriptions page. Lifesaver imo.

I’ve got a Switch and a Deck, and I can’t fathom all these replies saying the Deck is just as good for Switch. It’s not, and it’s not worth playing games at 90 or 95% performance when you want 100% performance. “Playable” to “native performance” is such a big step. Plus, it costs more.

Subscribe to Disney Plus and also trial Anystream. So long as the service has dubs, you can pick and choose what gets embedded in your download (720p max). You will need a license for a show that long, but the trial can prove it works on a few episodes.

You can download the books you buy with credits, and also anything currently in the Plus catalogue. I’ve found this very helpful as they remove things from the Plus catalog with very short notice periods, so you may not get to finish books you start. (And I remember stuff like how Salman Rushdie books were removed when he was in the news from the assassination attempt. Maybe that was publishers seeing dollar signs not Amazon, idk, but it was gross. Same when Sean Lock died.)

Yeah, if people are taking falls, Baldwin needs to take one. I am shocked that Halls got 6 mo suspended, too, as he was previously fired after another unexpected discharge among other complaints.

Yes, I know the list of things that kinda-sorta-shoulda happened. That’s really my point, though. How can a production big enough to star Alec Baldwin and other union actors be able to run with non-union armory and such piss poor procedures?

We know that the whole safety procedures from top to bottom were rotten. So putting criminal blame on one person doesn’t ring honest. How can we know the whole story if everyone is trying to cover their tracks to not land in prison? The people with meaningful authority on set failed, and I’m not convinced that this armorer truly had the authority to shut down production on safety grounds.

Procedural changes might be mandating that productions need armorers who are then protected from dismissal if things get dangerous, so they can stop productions etc. But nothing will change this time, since we have found someone to blame.

There’s a bunch of things that should never happen. No real guns on set. No live ammo ever near those guns. No removing guns from set. No pointing guns at people. All the procedures getting skipped when a new person holds a prop.

By blaming a person and one element of it, we leave everything else as it was and more accidents will eventually happen. Sooner or later a studio will want a non-union armorer that they can boss around again, who won’t have the authority to push back on things, and if we don’t learn now then it can all repeat.

You actually play as 17th century witch hunters, the box art is a metaphor.

This is dumb. Learn like airlines do; only prosecute for malicious intent. In all other cases, learn. Create procedures that make this situation impossible, and make certain that all major productions follow them.

Saying it’s X or Y person’s fault absolves any systemic issues. What training should an armorer have? Can we avoid a single point of failure that results in live ammo on set? Etc etc.

Edit: thank you Lemmy for positive votes. The Reddit threads are absolutely bloodthirsty in comparison. Good change in pace here.

Weird, I have permanent access to Samurai Champloo on my Jellyfin server. I would have paid given the option, but, y’know, they wouldn’t sell this kind of service.

Our customer support is full of (older) people buying stuff from us. Not everyone likes using websites when a phone will work!

Cheers for the citation

I guess it’s the one I care least about that I listed. Substitute in the overtly racist subreddits, if you wish, as they surely didn’t deserve a platform.

The myth of Aaron Swartz continues…

He was a big proponent of free speech absolutism. He’d have been more than happy with the jailbait subs, watchpeopledie, fatpeoplehate etc. I really don’t think he deserves a free pass just because Reddit wasn’t enshittifying while he was around, as it was in a growth phase. It had other problems which needed resolution.

Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.

I’m enjoying it so far :)

Someone spent a while telling me Nier Automata was great, and it took a couple years before I got independently interested. My punishment is the same fate, of telling others it’s great, and no-one trying it.

Same with Return of the Obra Dinn, which has a niche art style but a captivating set of mysteries.

If I’m taking one thing from this thread, it’s that I’m most likely to click on something called “Desiny Potato”.

Kind of nice to see NFTs breaking through the floor at the trough of disillusionment, never to return.
