So Cohn did mention comprehensive privacy laws and the ability to leave platforms. These are absolutely things that need to happen.

However as an individual there are still things you can do. Cohn mentions Bluesky because it has no algorithm (except the “Discovery” feed). Cohn also mentions (in the video) Mastodon. And the truth is you don’t need to switch fully, just don’t only slurp down the concentrated hate machine(s).

Look at Lemmy. Reddit decided to be pricks and a bunch of individuals jumped over here to create what I think is a pretty good community. That doesn’t mean the problem is solved. That doesn’t mean Reddit isn’t still a problem. That doesn’t mean Lemmy is perfect. But that is a win and something individuals can do.

Additionally, those are things you can do now. You don’t need to wait for some law to be passed to fix things. You can make the move now. (While still advocating for laws to fix things.)

I also use Debian Testing with GNOME and it works perfectly fine.

Think of Ubuntu as a supported version of Debian Testing.

If you’re going to build on top of something, it’s helpful to build on top of something that is supported and tested.

(FWIW I also run Debian Testing.)

I mean it’s not a carbon copy of Dragon Quest Builders 2, but it’s made by the same team/company and has obvious overlap. They definitely took DQB2 as a starting point and made it Pokemon themed.

He’s pretty playful in “Attack of the Clones” when Kenobi is looking for Kamino. “Master Kenobi has lost a planet, how embarrassing” or something along those lines.

He’s also teaching Younglings in this scene, so being more playful is fitting.

Most of the time we see Yoda he is at the council or doing war things, so you can’t really be a silly goblin in those cases.

We’re on Minecraft 26.

You can install Debian on your Chromebook like you would any app, which I feel makes it a bit less controlling since you have access to a complete Debian install and all the benefits that provides.

Windows also has WSL, which gives you Ubuntu, although that process isn’t quite as user friendly.

Matt Berry as Big the Cat?

Is Tic-Tac-Toe a good game? I know people who played it a lot at one time. Does it hold up?

If you had fun playing it, it was a good game.

Fruit Ninja? Doodle Jump? Angry Birds?

Games take a simple concept, possibly copied from elsewhere, possibly a mash up of others, possibly original ideas, and of it’s fun, it’s good.

Now was the hype over Flappy Bird strange and over the top? Probably. But remember fidget spinners? Yo-yos? Sometimes trends/fads happen.

Voting ended about two weeks ago, and Chalemet’s recent comments that caused negative press were about a week ago. So no, I don’t think they caused him issues.

The film itself is just fine. It is well acted, so maybe best actor, but Michael B Jordan and Leo both have him beat.

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin

Mats Steen, a Norwegian man born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, becomes increasingly unable to participate in everyday activities. As a result, he spends most of his time playing video games, particularly World of Warcraft. His parents worry that he will miss out on life, unaware of what he does in the game.

It’s a tearjerker and ultimately beautiful story of the Internet and friendship.

Wart!

But that means he isn’t a dream. The lore!

When I first played Skyrim it was the “complete” edition with all the DLC. The game starts fun enough, I complete the intro, wander around a bit and find an interesting quest that takes me to a big city.

Immediately two vampires attack me. I know now this is the start of a plot hook for one of the DLCs, but it was so confusing. Suddenly I was forced to do a whole vampire side plot because every time I ignored it more vampires showed up.

I hope DLCs have improved since then because it was a terrible introduction to the game.

Exactly. This is Sony declaring victory in the console wars. You could argue “But Nintendo”, but Nintendo was never playing the same game as Sony & Microsoft. You want to play Nintendo games, you buy a Nintendo. You want to play Sony games, Sony says you have to buy a Sony PlayStation.

I’m not a fan, but it could work.

I agree with everything about this article except the title.

For me this film is at its best after the vampire reveal and ends when most of the vampires are killed. The intro is fine but goes on a little long and while I’m always a fan of killing Klansman it feels like an unnecessary action scene after the climax of the film.

My vote is for One Battle After Another. It could be argued it starts slow as well, but once it gets going it is paved perfectly.

Hacks is excellent. The Last of Us is excellent. Although both of those are preparing for their final season.

Euphoria is excellent, although I expect season 3 to be their last.

That leaves The White Lotus which is also excellent.

I’ve also heard IT Welcome to Derry is excellent, but I haven’t seen it.

That being said they’ve been trying to get Dune as a series, Prophecy is getting a second season but I’m not sure the first season really worked.

We also have the whole of DC Studios. I agree it’s possible Gunn departs if the deal goes through, which would cause some major quality issues.

But there is the golden goose that is Harry Potter. It’s probably going to have a shit ton of people watching it.

So for big existing franchises, they’ll probably be ok, and GOT fits in there. But for original stuff, I agree they have fewer options.

stop selling the item until the incorrect price is corrected

Not a lawyer but couldn’t they just refuse to sell it to you? We all know it would be bullshit but couldn’t a company say “Oh that minimum wage clerk made a mistake, but don’t blame them, just an honest mistake.”

Or is the law, if it’s on the shelf, it must be honored?

It’s not House of the Dragon, I just mean “Aegon’s Dream” was referenced in HOTD.

The specifics of Aegon’s Conquest aren’t known, just the big highlights. There isn’t likely to be a lot of background scheming and politics, because generally Aegon just shows up with a dragon and the enemy either agrees to Aegon’s demands (because dragon) or they don’t, dragon happens, and then someone else agrees.

There are bits that are interesting, but not many (which probably works fine for a film).

An “Aegon’s Conquest” film is probably the best way to tell the story. It’s not a particularly interesting story since it’s just man (and sister-wives) steamroll Westeros with dragons.

I’m sure you could spice it up a bit, but also Aegon is a conqueror and kind of a “bad guy” in that sense. He’s just chilling at Dragonstone and Westeros is mostly just chilling doing their own thing, and he just decides naw… it’s mine now. I’m guessing they’ll add some prophecy to give him reason, we saw this touched on in season 1 of HOTD. Basically there must be a Targaryen on the throne in order to stop the white walkers. Although GOT season 8 sorta disproved that, which I guess makes the whole of Targaryen rule and Aegon’s Conquest moot. So…

Either way, could be fun, but I don’t expect a lot from it.

which show runner

Beau Willimon, who created and wrote the majority of the first two seasons of House of Cards. (As well as the opening and closers of season three and four.) (Also the sixth season is like Game of Thrones season 8 bad, the difference is that no one watched it.)

I didn’t find it disappointing, but it does feel like three films smashed together of varying quality. The opening of the film that sets up the background of our characters is good, as soon as the vampires show up and through the evening and their death is absolutely fantastic, and then there is the bit at the end that wraps things up, but is just good.

If the whole film could have been as good at the middle part, then it’s an easy winner.

When we’re looking at films that are as good at the beginning, middle and end, then One Battle After Another is the clear winner.

In terms of just acting, perhaps Michael B Jordan did a better job than Leo DiCaprio. That’s a tough call.
