Andor especially so, and in the best ways!

Wish it wasn’t so relevant tho.

Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes is a supremely good book to start with for an absolute beginner, and I would recommend it over Automate the boring stuff (that would be a great followup though!).

It assumes absolutely no prior knowledge, explains concepts extremely clearly, never presents too much to overwhelm and frustrate beginners, and includes a good range of projects that should interest any perspective programmer.

You’re welcome! :D

Having such a clear example from history of how these things play out might give us an advantage they didn’t have. I hope so, anyway.

Glad you found it helpful! It’s a shame that PFAS isn’t going to be banned for general purpose uses anytime soon, it’s so damn dangerous for the benefits it brings.

Reminder to sign Ross Scott’s StopKillingGames EU Citizens Intitiative (which carries legal weight if it reaches 1 million) if you’re an EU Citizen! Ubisoft killing The Crew is what kicked the whole thing off.

Just to clarify, I did not post this as an allegory for the election loss, we don’t need any myths to soothe our conscience. It just popped up in my subscriptions and thought it was interesting enough to post.

If anything, I think its conclusion about feelings and beliefs ultimately trumping objective truth is quite applicable to MAGA.

Maybe I misinterpreted what Feral was getting at, but at least from my reading of it, he’s saying the myth was ‘half-true’ in the sense that that propaganda was effectively sold to the lowly enlisted/conscripted men to give them self-justification to fight. Whereas the truth was indeed that the whole thing was just for slavery. The myth then became even more useful after defeat to help them accept it ‘honorably’. His conclusion about what people believe and feel ultimately having a larger impact than the actual truth seems to confirm that reading, but I could be wrong.

A deeply unfortunate choice of sponsor.

I personally always enjoy Meta update posts on other instances to see what they’re up to, how they handled a particular problem, or offer help if they need it, and welcome the same on the meta posts on my own community from non-members.

But that’s just me.

Honestly, I’d recommend just changing the title to something less inflammatory than Veritasium’s chosen title, like “How Approval Voting is the only type that encourages democracy” or whatever you can think of, because his title is just going to get people downvoting it by assuming it encourages not voting.

FreeTube is a client that runs on your own computer, it’s not a host I can link to like Invidious was, because google effectively killed that method.

Sorry to hear his humor wasn’t to your liking.

I think it’s more for the neat factor than anything. It’d be a cool spice rack if mounted on a wall in a pantry.

“Ugh, get off my back, mom! I’ll figure out ethics by myself! Jeez…”

Ahh, Kotor 2, my first morally ambiguous RPG that made me question if it was wrong to help homeless people due to unforseen consequences as a 12 year old (which, BTW Kreia, it IS good to help homeless people who are starving, wtf dude)

That was a well done little compass thing, and a lovely trip down memory lane. Thanks for the share Jesus!

Interesting article! It’s a shame the documentation is lacking :(

Oh, and as for the different sorting options:

• Hot sorts by the number of upvotes and how recent the post itself is
• Active sorts by number of upvotes and how many recent comments a post has (lively discussion ranks higher)
• Scaled sorts like Hit, but tries to prioritize or give more weight to smaller communities
• Controversial sorts by giving comments or posts a higher rank if they have an even mix of down votes and upvotes

Sorry to hear things are rough for you. I hope whatever is causing it improves!

Mine is an odd choice, or maybe not, but its the first thing that came to mind: Night in The Woods

It’s about a girl that comes home from college to her old dying town. I know that doesn’t sound terribly uplifting, and there’s some downer stories mixed in there, but overall I found it a very heartfelt and uplifting game, because the main character’s friends are the most wonderful bunch of people, and you hang out with them and go on little adventures throughout. It’s got a cool creepy mystery story going on, but the game is mostly about deep friendship, family, and overcoming struggles with their help, and I found that very uplifting and worthwhile.

You can sideload the google camera app and restrict any online access to it on graphene.

As a massive Ross Scott fan and Stop Killing Games advocate, this was absolutely hilarious, top tier 10/10, have been fully converted and now see the light, please don’t trap me in my house.
