I saw right when I was going to post this that someone else had already posted something similar, but I thought I'll go ahead and post it anyway as an alternative....
This feels like a massive overreaction by the journalist
Any server that doesn't provide good reasoning for paywalling channels will die if they try to abuse that shit
I really like Trilium Notes as a Joplin/Obsidian alternative!
I don't know if this really is as harmful an enshiftification as we've come to expect from other projects, it mainly seems to be allowing you to have a "patreon" or "gumroad" type project tied to your actual community. There's an argument that the centralization is harmful in the long run when everything goes belly-up but this move in a vacuum seems like a logical next step for Discord itself
Advertisers are likely to be much more willing to bank their ad dollars with Zuckerberg than smaller rivals.
I'm fine with any most thing that shows you cannot enable harm-to-discourse as much as Musk has. I would sooner them come to Zuckerberg than crawling back to Twitter because it didn't have an alternative. Twitter is very much a walking corpse right now, but something else coming along to snatch the could-be advertisers secure that it can stay in its fucking pit. (unless various sus governments still somehow see use in keeping it propped up)
Well I think it's kinda hard to imagine a free service that doesn't do either data collection or advertising or both (read: you are the product), it makes sense through openly being a field that has a lot of money circulating around it
The only other viable model I can personally think of is subscriptions, I find it hard to imagine that only forcing big corporations to pay to use your service, or that having it be donationbased would work with the amount of manpower and serverspace these products from within Silicon Valley typically host where they need millions maybe billions every month until they stop existing
You've heard of Gell-Mann amnesia, though you might not remember the actual name the video will quickly remind you, we trust everything we read, except the things we're experts on....
They are asking ISPs to lay out their best justification so that they can decide whether it's valid or not. Judging by their wording, they want a good explanation. It's good to gain understanding of something before we gut it and who better to ask for the 'best argument for' than those who enforce it?
"it's difficult because we are working on a continuation on FF7R"
well.. Maybe in 10 years I guess.
Though I do look forward to the FF7R games, Remake was a real joy
Yeah, also love the band to be honest 😂... but sure, if it was said in context of a social media networks convesation, I'd get what you're trying to say... or at least ask "not the band, right", lol 😂.
it was deadass on /r/technology my bad /r/worldnews when people were talking about twitter alternatives
I don't even know why I got so many upvotes considering nobody ever corrected them
Nah, there's nothing for them to be a hypocrite about. It just struck me as 'hmm' that someone with so few comments could judge that, but the social anxiety bit might also clue in that they've done a lot of reading on here in general as well, and probably are also taking into account a lot of other people's in-depth discussions in their anecdote
Agriculture is like top 5 biggest ghg emissioning industry though.
I don't disagree that they should also go after the others but from what I'm aware, they are.
I disagree with assigning blame to the current German government for that. Scholz has been fighting to keep the remaining ones up. It's not really his fault that there is a big base of anti-nuclear sentiment in Germany.
Coal has essentially only been used as a means of emergency by Scholz's government in order to sustain Germany while they were trying to survive the strain that Russia's cutoff gave, and in general we've seen the EU move way waayy into green energy as an alternative since the Ukraine war started.
Denmark (partnering with Germany, Netherlands and others I forget but I read it in some other article a long time ago) are currently in the works to make an artificial island with as many windmills as efficient on them to hopefully be able to be the sole source of electricity for 35 million homes
just today the legal framework for the development of renewable energy in Europe has made it so that 100GW (read: basically 100 million homes' worth) of renewable energy will be made a year, and as it says at the bottom of the article, they tried as best as possible last year to remove as much of the bureaucracy as possible
While the 1999 version has the old aesthetic that you say you like, I would recommend the 2011 version due to a lot of times just presenting individual scenes so well, the team really came together to make dramatic when it counted, and it also goes further into one of the best arcs of HxH
Nippon Animation did 1999, while MADHOUSE did 2011 if that says anything to you
Patlabor, specifically "Patlabor ON TELEVISION" and "Patlabor New Files" (sometimes called New OVA) are takes place in a very comfy near-future environment and is about a group of policemembers who are under the division for dealing with any mech incidents, meaning giant robot fights will happen in a very down-to-earth setting
I also recommend the movies if you enjoy the GITS movie as it's the same director and he likes exploring a various amount of social commentary, from criticism of institutional inefficiency to existential reflections, (just dont watch the 3rd movie, it has nothing to do with anyone who made the original Patlabor)
There's also the original Patlabor OVA, but I personally didn't enjoy that nearly as much as the tv anime, and some of the characters act a little different, so it might be jarring if you watch that before the tv anime despite it being chronologically made first
It ends in a way where I would say theres no conflict that hasnt had its end tied, though according to manga readers I've talked with, the manga goes on to finish Gon's story, and the story has well moved on from him to cover other people in the universe
I would say watching the things made before the movie gives you a better grasp of who the characters are and feel more attached to what's going on, though the movies are very different from the OVA and tv show in terms of vibe, the characters act a lot more like how you would expect having watched the tv show. And I should also warn, the movies have very minimal mech fighting!
I was trolling through Crunchyroll for new anime to watch and I came upon Heroic Age, a space opera genre anime from 2002. Nothing ground breaking, but the artwork looks good to me, has a consistent storyline and I've enjoyed watching the first 4 - 5 episodes so far.
another obscure one is 'Soreyuku! Uchuu Senkan Yamamoto Yohko' the 1999 tv anime, directed by Shinbo
it's..
It's an anime about 20th century high school students fighting in spaceship battle contests in 2999

Brussels is well on the way to losing rural Europe — and it only has itself to blame.
So I don't keep up with seasonal so can't participate in those discussions. So want to recommend me some anime instead?
I've liked Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassination Classroom. Cool with any genre you guys have to recommend, since I enjoyed stuff like Zombieland Saga too.
