Density saves nature
  • Yea, everything is pretty full here. We have plenty of nature, but there's always traces of civilization.

    I often miss the vastness of nature. Been to Alaska some years ago and being in nature is an entirely different feeling.

    Brazil judge withdraws $3.3 million from Musk's Starlink and X to pay for social media fines
  • There's a bit more nuance to it, as he seized assets of an unrelated(?) company.

    I mean, the relation is obvious, but in legal terms they are unrelated.

    Fuck Elon though, wished they seized more.

    #StopKillingGames Update: Netherlands passes threshold
  • Multiple ways.

    Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

    Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

    Of course good things can come from this, but I've read here several times that this just isn't a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

    I need more vegans in my life
  • Statements like this are loosely playing with the term "vegan" I feel.

    Lots of people follow a vegan diet, but aren't vegan in the strict sense.

    You won't see those people in communities like these.

  • Or kill it completely. The only reason I've held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I'd rather not see that.

    Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?
  • You're using a purposely convoluted example from the spec. And I think it shows exactly how TOML is better than JSON for creating config files.

    The TOML file is a lot easier to scan than the hopelessly messy json file. The mix of indentation and symbols used in JSON really does not do well in bigger configuration files.

    Where to find FLAC music?
  • Another way that needs a credit card:

    Make a disposable e-mail, sign up for a month trial for Qobuz or Tidal and use a program like StreamRip to just download high-quality music straight from the platform.

    When the trial ends, just make a new e-mail and repeat.

    Someone mentioned Lucida here, which is more straightforward, but I found it slow and often failing. Once you're signed up, downloading is easy and it's the easiest way to get more obscure stuff in high quality.

    Kids Are Working in America’s Meatpacking Plants
  • Tyson Foods, the company mentioned in the article, also has plant-based brands under its wing.

    So no, it won't make a difference in this case.

  • The judge also blocked all bank accounts for Starlink, a different company.

    While I think the ban is justified, the power the judge has is definitely fishy too.

  • Seems they updated the article title, which now says the exact opposite of your post title.

    Unsure if you can edit. Here's the new title:
