What browser are you talking about here?

Gotta agree here with you. Yeah theoretically maybe someone really just needs a text editor with absolutely no additional convenient features (maybe the older versions of Notepad allowing different fonts and word wrap was too much for someone as well?). But this is such an objective improvement in 95% of usecases it's kind of ridiculous to complain about it.

Kind of, yeah. An another comment mentions Kinkade, that's IMO creepy too. And a lot of anime has a creepy style if you're not used to it.

It's spontaneously pleasant to see for most people, and I believe that's why it was favoured in the training process of the various image generators.

High tech with a 19th century sense of style? I'm sold!

Lots of people would like to "leave politics", as they find themselves under "vicious and unethical attacks" by politicians. However, those people's political existence was forced upon them, they didn't want to be a "political" object, especially not in the current landscape.

Musk instead took up his political role consciously, and used it to further attack and harm many who would prefer to be left in peace. He had the luxury to activate himself, commit far worse violence upon the people than he has been subjected to by the people, and when he realises he doesn't really like it, even though the issues he's facing are probably comparatively trivial, he (believes he) has the luxury to return to a more secluded, safe position.

It's really quite disgusting. And I fear he'll get away with it. But I am at least satisfied that his story (a supposed tech guru with his marketing bullshit and his comically immature behaviour) has damaged much of the aura of the modern technocapitalist elite.

Oh yeah, the death of an 88-year-old man who has been suffering from serious medical issues for months is so odd and unexpected that it is more reasonable to propose that the vice-president of the US personally killed him.

If you find any on archive.org, they're likely to be only for "loaning", i.e. you need a profile and can only view them within your browser, because they're still under copyright so they limit their distribution.

I'm not linking a workaround for that.

P.S. The JPEGs are better than PDF, the latter have some compression that's really bad on images.

Tbh I find that they were always surprisingly lenient on piracy. There are multiple subreddits about piracy websites, some of which had their Telegram channels blocked multiple times in the last year or two, while having no issues on reddit, and even some subreddits where people directly link to pirated content.

This is a great article, thank you

Right, you the hero would cuff yourself to Garcia. Then the guards would simply stop you (possibly before you'd even manage to do it), unlock or cut the handcuffs if needed, forbid you from entering the country ever again if not outright prosecute you, and possibly put Garcia under even stricter control and isolation, to, you know, prevent having people try to get him out.

Because realistically considering the consequences is... liberal.

Wow you're so cool and edgy

 
 
 

I've recently opened a community for discussing Heroes of Might and Magic series (discussion of related games is welcome too: Might and Magic RPGs, etc.).

The community is here: !homm@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Of course, the current hot topic is the upcoming new installment in the series... well not that much of a hot topic yet, since the comm has just 5 subscribers for now, but you can help with that! :D
