djsoren19 , 3 months ago to Technology in Exclusive: ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say

I'm very surprised by this. I'd figured ByteDance had a final trick up their sleeve, some unscrupulous billionaire like Bobby Kotick who they could technically "divest" to while maintaining functional independence. Either they're incredibly confident in their legal team, or they're betting on popular protest to overturn the government's decision in the next year. Unfortunately for them, there's a global crisis currently ongoing that is a liiiittle bit more important to protest, and they might have to wait awhile.

This is two back to back huge wins for Biden, and honestly for all people who understand that corporate regulation is the only way we're crawling out of our boring dystopia. Killing non-competes AND restoring net neutrality in the same week is massive for Americans.

Thanks for the diligence, but it was honestly unnecessary. You could have just said that it was an American media organization reporting on pop science, and I'd have known it was riddled with inaccuracies and errors. It's a real shame that journalists aren't interested in accurate reporting of science, but then again the public isn't interested in hearing accurate reports either.

Look, if your friends don't think the bourgeoise deserve to choke on the money they've stolen from the proletariats' pockets, they're not your friends.

Is anyone seriously surprised? What Unity did was tantamount to business suicide, but these things move slowly. Expect to see more and more out of Godot in the coming months, as projects that were nascent when Unity tried their greedy power play will finally start to get teased.

The horniest card game more complicated than MTG!

I would honestly rather they play any other hotter furbait card. If OP's allowed Stasis I want Crucible of World and Strip Mine.

Truly a race between snails.

EA has been shitty nearly forever, even when every game started with "Its in the game!" You probably just didn't realize it because you were a kid, but they've been hacking out shitty games and shuttering great studios for decades. They were never a mark of quality, they were the mark on the games you could find in the bargain bin at Walmart.

djsoren19 , 4 months ago to 196 in 196 stands with palestine

This really shouldn't be such a controversial take. Every side of this conflict fucking sucks, and they've all sucked for decades. Israel sucks for electing a fascist, Palestine sucks due to being religious fundamentalists, the U.S. sucks for doing all this in the first place and building Israel up as a superpower in the region, and all the surrounding Middle Eastern powers suck because they claim a Free Palestine is a priority while doing fuck-all to support it. Even if a miracle ceasefire is called, there is no geopolitical will for a Free Palestine, so Israel will just do this again in 10 years once their stockpiles are replenished.

Hilariously, getting better for both of them. Pathfinder has a lot of third party developers already, and gained some after the big D&D debacle when Wizards tried to update the OGL and kill third-party. Linux is still slow going, especially on the gaming side, but a number of FOSS companies and Valve have done a lot of work to legitimize Linux as a personal computing platform.

The FTC has at least been going after companies again, but their targeting priorities seem very strange. They seem to like picking impossible fights they can't win, rather than cases like these.

It would show your ability to frame, your linework, depending on the scene your ability to demonstrate action...

It sounds like you have literally no concept of how animation works at an enterprise level. It often is several different people working on individual scenes that are then stitched together at the end.

So don't use water? I mean, don't use water in basically any situation regarding a fire anyway, it's a last resort, but if you don't have a fire extinguisher in your home you're asking for trouble eventually.

It's the outfit. Her proportions aren't that insane, but she has like a playboy bunny suit drawn on the front.

Edit: to clarify, I only mean her chest proportions. Her legs are comically long.
