Lula just vetoed Nicarágua and Venezuela in BRICS. I am very curious about how he intends to be independent of the imperialist core while following the core's booklet.
I see a lot of Millennials using G-drive instead of torrent, actually.
Sorry, little experience with immutable systems, I didn't know they could update without a password.
Summer Eternal is a brand new project in collective art-making, developing counter-cultural computer role-playing games with a commitment to worker co-ownership and artistic integrity.
It remains to be seen if this creativity will produce a good spiritual continuation for Disco Elysium.

If Linux was everyday-usable they’d have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it’s been over two decades

conflicting canon
There is no such thing as a "canon", generally speaking. There are several stories in which part of what makes them good is how well they connect with each other, for example, the books by Tolkien or Asimov, but, to cite another example, the viewer of Doctor Who has to turn a blind eye to the immense amount of contradictory events that confront each other over the course of 60 years. Which is not to say that there is no problem in writing something that decharacterizes the character or universe of the story (Doctor Who's Timeless Children, Zack Snyder's Batman, etc.), or that compromises the logic that the author himself chose to follow throughout the story (Star Wars's Sequels), but, objectively speaking, the only problem this produces is poorly written shit, because, realizing that there is no canon, the next person to write something has complete freedom to ignore the past shit.
I think it sucks that the ZA/UM people split up the way they did, but if each of these studios wants to make their own sequel to Disco Elysium, whether it's spiritual or not, I can and will appreciate them individually and with the relationship they want to establish with Disco Elysium, there being no need for them to be coherent with each other.
I commented having only read the headline. Too bad it's a VM, Android could have a sort of reverse Waydroid.

The first time that throwing paint on something really did something about the situation.
The problem is when your boss believes in hype and makes layoffs (already happenning)
Maybe the Captain America from the first comics, but the good stories of Captain America are good precisely because they show Captain America realizing that the "American Dream" he is supposed to represent is really just a dream and does not exist in reality.
I think that precisely what makes TAS good - and the good Batman stories in general - is how, at least in characters' first appearances, it seems that the idea is to show how social problems have driven these "villains" crazy, and the objective is always, with some exceptions (i.e. Red Claw), to make the audience sympathize with them, producing social awareness of this problems in the audience. Unfortunately, as the characters are reused, they are reduced to caricatured villains and the incentive to sympathize with them fades. For example, Two-Face appears as an antagonist in 6 episodes and only in the stories Two-Face and Second Chance is he depicted as a human being. And this only gets worse in the sequel: The New Batman Adventures.
I actually think it's a good thing that, despite generally showing some sympathy, Batman always opposes his antagonists when they reach a point of social rupture: Batman is not a revolutionary, because Bruce Wayne could never be a revolutionary. Batman not being exactly on the side I would be on is not a problem: it gives the cartoon a verisimilitude.
Now, regarding "the hero we need" and other ideas of the sort, present in Nolan's films and Miller's comics, they are radically fascist, there's nothing to discuss.
What I'm pretty sure that happens: The witch kidnaps the boy's romantic interest, turns a frog into a copy of the girl (who engages in suspicious behavior, such as eating flies), to trick the boy who invaded the witch's castle to rescue the romantic interest.
What I'm not so sure that happens: I believe that is explicit that the whole situation is happening in the boy's imagination, in a Mona: The Vampire style. I believe the boy's relationship with the girl is platonic.
I cannot remembers if is a short or long movie, or an episode from a series.
I watched it dubbed into Portuguese, between 2006-2011, replayed a few times, on one of the following Brazilian television networks: TV Cultura, TV Escola or TV Futura. From my memory, the animation style was Western, but it could be an Anime. It is possibly a European animation and more possibly from Eastern Europe, because at this time TV Cultura showed a lot of animations from the 80s from those places. I find it difficult to be American because of my difficulty in finding anything about it and because American animations were not common on these channels at that time.
I'm just not laughing out loud because millions of people are going to get fired by bosses who think this kind of shit is going to replace their employees.

When you responded to @SlothMama@lemmy.world, you said that you were against all porn.
Yes, and I also didn't suggest banning pornography or anything like that. If you think that my statement alone that I am against pornography threatens pornography as a whole, you are greatly overestimating my influence.
You simply generalized all sex work as harmful to the worker/performer.
It is a convention, at least as I understand it, that when we are talking colloquially about a phenomenon, we are talking about how that phenomenon generally happens, even if we don't use the word "generally" or something equivalent, since it is common sense that for everything there is at least one exception. If you feel like your case doesn't fit into any of the issues I've outlined, with all honesty in my heart: good for you. However, most cases are not that lucky. Exception, instead of contradicting the rule, proves it, otherwise, it would not be an exception, it would be the rule itself.

Funded by big oil, they go around vandalizing and causing trouble for working class people while claiming to be "fighting climate change". Compare that to serious people, like the Houthi: deep unserious people.
There's nothing more to say. It's literally the r/neoliberal post from a week ago, with some more edition because lemmy libs apparently are dumber and can't understand something unless it's spelled to them.
Really surprised by this LTT video. They were direct on the points that lately, in the mainstream, there has only been rubbish.
It is hilarious that liberals have actually appropriated the rhetoric that saying "actually, both sides are wrong" ends up favouring the "evil" side, but they continue to apply this maxim to the USSR and Nazi Germany. An inability to realize that what makes this maxim ridiculous, in the latter case, is that, in fact, it was the Soviet Union that ended fascist barbarism, while the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two cogs in the same bellicose, anti-democratic, imperialist machine. As long as the choice is reduced to "blue vs. red" (a fake contradiction), the freedom of the human race will remain, at best, a distant dream.
But perhaps what irritates me the most is the overly pedantic use of Jim and Pam memes.
I don't know if you know, but the current Hammer and Sickle is from the Khrushchev era, which is considered revisionist for any communist who values Comrade Stalin's contributions. I think it is worth changing to maintain aesthetic cohesion, as it seems to be the general line of the instance and the community.
