This is one of those situations where it once again shows that:

1. Private equity stakes in companies are bullshit and at the very least need to be utterly regulated to hell and back.
2. More specifically, it should not be allowed to buy a company “on debt”. If you want to buy somebody, you need cash-on-hand to do that. That’s the only allowed form.

That is amazing!

Uuuh, what is that example supposed to show me exactly? That the chat got moved to a new one?

Well, we can’t know what you got banned for, and we only got your (naturally very biased) perspective. So from all we can tell, yes, you were banned for harassment.

It’s also important to consider that not only isn’t this about quitting entirely, it’s also specifically about beef (or other comparable meat). White meats in particular are still not good for the environment, but already like an order of magnitude better.

It’s just that beef in particular - also a type of meat that is frankly not even that good if I’m being honest, we’re all just used to considering it the best 🤷 - is absolutely horrible for the environment.

That’s meee! ✋

I still eat meat, but quite little, and quite rarely. There’s the odd salami at home, or every few months some ham for carbonara when I get guests over, or something like that. But it’s such a small percentage of what I consume now, I feel like I’m effectively vegetarian, anyways.

And yeah for most things I use alternatives because it turns out they’re often easier to handle. The Barista This Isn’t Milk is nice because it foams more reliably than actual milk and lasts much longer which is important as a single household.

That’s a bit of a shame, but tbh I was not expecting another re-implementation like for System Shock 1, anyways.

Which, if anyone here is still on the fence, is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!

Yeah that’s how I understand it, too. They’ll do turn-based, but probably not in their “biggest” outings as they know action-based tends to (usually) sell better.

I wouldn’t exactly call it an MMO? I mean I get it for marketing purposes, sure, but it feels more like Valheim or so to me?

I mean that guy was a dickcheese even before he tried to torpedo this initiative. But wow did he add to his pile of stink.

I mean as they say it’s unclear whether it was a joke or not, but with this administration, it’s not like “joke”, “trolling” and “serious” are any difference in form or function. 😑

Imagine if we had ever discovered a device for doing that. 📷

Tired of winning yet, americans?

Good riddance I say.

WTF.

Matt and Nicole are huge losses already, Nicole’s investigate stuff for example was amazing. Did you not read Polygun much in years?

Florida

Uh oh…

Plan to replace migrant workers

Ah that’s entire expected. :'(

with children

THE FUCK?!

What the fuck is wrong with people in Florida. How do people own guns and let these deranged lunatics in suits parade around for even a single day?!

Not bad for an early engine test demo for a game to be released in 2005. Impressive in fact!

I mean if never want one, but in an engineering level this site looks fascinating.

Go into politics.

Aww, I was so hoping I’d get another assistant like thing, Google definitely needs more of those.

Other way around. Open Library is part of the internet archive. Given it’s also vastly superior in quality and has tools to maintain and administrate the data, I very much prefer it over alternative offerings. If Bookwyrm at least had a curation/maintainence team or support group or something, and not everyone could just nilly-willy add duplicates of existing entries, then I could see more use for it.

But like others have said, it’s also a bit of a different use case. If you want to pull data, definitely do it from OL. They’re the same source Bookwyrm uses for its main data import, after all.
