Not really interested in any of the upcoming stuff this summer besides the Horimiya spinoff tbh. Besides, I have a lot of catching up to do on the current seasonals. In the fall, I'll probably want to see Spy X Family and Frieren.

I own an Android, and I was not aware of this feature. I checked my settings, and it appears that the countdown was turned off by default. Does that mean the SOS feature was disabled, or that it would activate instantly with no countdown? Because the latter would definitely increase the risk of false alarms.

Lately, I've been obsessed with Into The Breach, a mecha vs kaiju strategy game bythe developers of FTL. It's surprisingly challenging, and more similar to chess than any other strategy computer game I've played before.

She does not have a shot at running for president lmao.

I think somewhere in the ballpark of 10-20 years is probably enough to reward creators. Anything significantly longer than that, and it just incentivizes them to milk their creations forever, and punishes other creators who might otherwise make novel derivative works.

I am also of the belief that intellectual property in general (copyrights and patents) should be subject to eminent domain in the same way that physical private property is, i.e. it should be possible to force the creator to sell it to the public (with fair compensation) in cases where it would be an invaluable public good.

It's also a great feed reader.

I would encourage you to stay as far away from Raddle as possible. It has an incredibly toxic site-wide culture, and some serious security problems.

Reddit’s plans—driven by an urge to make the company more profitable as it inches toward going public

Correction: Reddit's plan is driven by an urge to make the company profitable.

There are three farm stands within cycling distance of my house (I believe one is technically in another town, but that doesn't matter), plus the seasonal farmers' market.

The Westport Independent is a censorship simulator, in which you play as the editor of a newspaper, choosing which stories to run and how to edit them in order to avoid angering both the authoritarian government and political radicals who want to take them down, while also appeasing your journalists, who may get angry and quit if you censor their stories too much.

yup

It's wack how the internet seems to have collectively forgotten about this technology over the past decade, despite it not being the least bit obsolete.

Be Captain Kirk, and die.

I mainly use DDG, including bangs to search other sites, but I occasionally still use Google if I'm having trouble finding something.
