Anyone have a recommended app for messaging that is actually encrypted? I certainly don't trust WhatsApp.

I do not fall under any of the demographics that will be targeted under Trumps regime, other than being a registered Democrat, I guess. But I'm still fucking terrified. Economic disparity is going to skyrocket. The environment is toast. We may see military or militarized police knocking down doors. This is a nightmare.

This looks great! I will probably play either way, but does this have puzzles? I do like the puzzle aspects of the Prime series as much as the combat and platforming.

Like some other posts say, no idea if OP wrote this, but if the author is looking here, I want to offer constructive criticism.

There are a truly uncountable number of unjust things going on right now. There are possible solutions to many if not all those problems that exist. But no one has enough time I'm their life to fight every single injustice going on.

Do you still eat eat chocolate? A lot of chocolate is still produced with what is practically or entirely slave labor. Do you eat almonds? Those are using enormous amounts of water in California, which is already facing a mega-drought. China still has horrible labor practices in manufacturing. Most Americans still have to drive cars and that's destroying the environment. I could go on for hours.

The point is, no one can possibly fight for every cause. Even the most dedicated, well meaning person will have to (indirectly) participate in some injustice. It's honestly better for people to pick their battles. Find something you might have the power to change and focus your energy on that injustice.

But don't lash out at people who are already overburdened by late-stage capitalism and don't have the knowledge or energy to fight the same fight you are.

 

Horimiya was one of my favorite animes in recent years, and I'm very excited for the new season thats coming out.

But for anyone who hasn't checked it out yet, the second season is titled, "The Missing Pieces." Becuase the manga ends in the same place season 1 did. Season two will just be some of the stories and bits that were left out from Season 1 to fit everything in a 13 episode anime. Obviously Horimiya was popular enough the studio knew people would want more, even in this awkward manner.

For anyone who was aware of all that...any idea where the new episodes slot in? Was that announced anywhere? I'd like to rewatch the whole thing and just bounce back and forth as the new episodes release.

So...let me get this straight. The "commons" here is the potential profit of AI. And the "tragedy" is that google isn't hoarding it and open source folks that are doing all the innovation are content to not make massive profits from their work?

If thats what this means, then I hope whatever their plan is to gain power or control over new AI tech fails. I hope the folks working on open source AI can separate their work from Meta's original work enough that Meta no longer has any claim to it.
