You’ll get your rent when you fix this ****** door.

Someone’s not going to college.

Probably trying to paint a narrative that Zelensky is undemocratic and corrupt, which some people in the US might believe.

I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I’d suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn’t a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.

I hope this is real. If you look into it and find it isn’t real, don’t tell me.

Yeah I don’t get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.

I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.

It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.

To the Max!

That’s the dangerous aspect of capitalism. The best thing for a business is to have no competition, but the best thing for us is fierce competition. Take the internet. ISPs fought hard early on to get regional monopolies which they exploit today. Nobody can compete with Comcast where I live because Comcast will just use their market position to price them out. Is it really a free market if one company is completely invulnerable? Comcast might be free, but are its competitors or customers free? Free market needs to be redefined. Our government has the power to fix this, they just don’t feel like it.

Precisely because it knows where it isn’t!

We forgot them, and now Hong Kong is just as repressed as the rest of China.

I neeeeeed it.

I’d like to hear the story of how we found out.

This could be so much longer.

Killing children, class systems, so many programming language names, the ridiculous ways equality and order-of-operations are done sometimes. Plenty of recursion jokes to be made. Big O notation. Any other ideas?

I was so confused, I thought that said ‘overcomplicated Borg’ and thought I was on Risa.

Obligatory I am not a lawyer, this is just my opinion.

A let’s play is a derivative work. You can claim fair use, but that’s hard to do. Fair use often boils down to a question of ‘does the derivative work compete with the original enough to cause a loss in sales?’ Think of when people film themselves watching a movie for YouTube, without cutting anything out and barely commentating over anything, meaning that someone could watch their video instead of the movie and get almost the same content.

In this case, he filmed himself playing the entirety of a visual novel. I think it’s fair to say that for a lot of people, his let’s play could absolutely substitute for playing the game, thus losing sales for the developer.

Can you elaborate on what that means? “Universe is not locally real”? How do we know what is real? What precisely does ‘local’ mean? Real relative to what?

I need to go to bed, I misread that as “Ahsoka is simultaneously the northernmost, westernmost, *and” easternmost US state."

37 minutes later…still here.

You should try Space Engine. It’s a program to explore the universe, based on real telescope data. It also has the ability to procedurally generate galaxies, planets, and stars in unobserved parts of the universe.
