Hi-Fi Rush

Pure joy and happiness from start to finish.

Admitting the genocide part out loud… and there will still be no consequences for Israel’s bloodthirsty terrorist government.

I am getting really tired of these right-wing dictatorships trying to play the “discrimination” card whenever their governments are criticized for their heinous actions.

…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Nah, BDSM is all about consent. I don’t think he requested that consent before inflicting that amount of widespread pain.

Monstrous right wing imbecile is right wing monster, imbecile. Full story at 11.

Every time I see that phrase it makes my eye twitch. ALL pricing is artificial. Always. No exceptions.

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.

Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.

Are you implying that there is anything else that matters?

Likud - like any right wing movement - has a vested interest in ensuring that terror continues. Fear is the only way they can possibly stay in power.

Jetbrains IDEs have “Live Templates” that I use extensively.

For little notes and snippets (especially CLI snippets) I use an app called Stashpad, which I LOVE.

I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢

Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.

Use Firefox.

Persona 5 Royal

Right-wingers are masters of both escalation and creating long-term, multi-generational consequences.

What is so hard to understand about “murder bad, apartheid bad”?

Mostly. Actors will now get residuals based on performance metrics of their shows, rather than based on the subscriber counts of the service itself (which is what the guild was originally fighting for). I think that’s fair and good for everyone - actors, studios/services, and customers. Actors get rewarded for successful shows, studios will not have to choose between deleting an existing show from existence or cover residuals that are more than the show is worth, and customers lose less content as a result.

Once of the reasons so many shows have disappeared lately is because a “royalties based on service subscribers” provision existed since the last strike, meaning even shows that aren’t successful can cost a service a lot of money to keep around. So instead, they just remove them from existence.

To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country. This is the origin of nationalism. Besides, the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time inside and outside. In the U.S., a prominent instance of the plot obsession is to be found in Pat Robertson’s The New World Order, but, as we have recently seen, there are many others.

Umberto Eco, “Ur-Fascism”

There is definitely a giant radioactive lizard emerging at that location.

And coffee. And avocado toast. And wokeness.

I hope to god they get hit with false police report charges.
