How often do you hear about Nepal in any context? Most people can’t even point to it on a map and keep asking me how my time was in Tibet.

They have a whole history exhibit in the old Kathmandu palace that talks about the Maoist insurgency and their role in dismantling the monarchy prior to the royal massaacre.

Even so, the current government has been so ineffectual in some areas that some protestors have demonstrated to have the monarchy back. Part of this is because the Maoists and other communist groups lost their fangs when they started these coalitions and the government gets into standstills where nothing gets accomplished except the continual repaving of the roads to and from the airport whenever a foreign diplomat is due.

This is cool and good news.

I’m literally just talking about how I wouldn’t feel anything at all if things turned out differently. I hope you put as much effort toward your grassroots campaigns as you do chastizing people online about making fun of fascists.

At what point does someone calling for and causing harm to people you care about sufficient before you lose all empathy for them? How come politicians can literally get away with poisoning people’s water like in Flint, couping foreign governments, and contributing to the deaths of thousands or even millions but I can’t post memes when they die or else I’m worse than them by some brainworm logic? It’s so hypocritical the way they go unscathed because they didn’t put a gun to someone’s head directly. Now every milquetoast senator is sending well wishes to someone who would rather see them dead or deported. People should act in a way deserving of that empathy and maybe people would show it.

Personally I envision a future where most people don’t even need desktops at home and if they don’t need a dedicated laptop either will just dock their phone when they get home as their primary device and take it with them when they leave.

And for continuing below subpar performance compared to every other brand if the trend continues from the Tensor G1 to now. Which there’s no indication of that stopping.

This is a solvable problem but requires thinking about anything but profits for a minute. Require accounts and ban them permanently from all comment sections. They only won’t do this because it means that person might unsubscribe.

Reading a summary the other day, it looks like most of Dev team got hired at Oneplus a few years back and left. Then they had several false starts with new teams until most recently where they’re working on getting things running on Android 14.

It does exactly what you’re asking. Its like Nvidia Shadow Play or OBS. Constantly records so you can hit a button to save things as they happen.

That’s the funny thing is that they don’t have to. They just sign a form that affirms their strongly held conviction. No explanation necessary, because otherwise school admins would have the messy job of ruling on what is and isn’t legitimate belief. Just have to hope more states follow suit.

As someone who isn’t a fan of ARPGs at all, the two biggest problems I have are that click to move feels significantly worse than using a controller in something like Diablo 3/4 or even Dark Alliance like 20 years ago. It’s a convention that I feel is representative of the genre in that most of the big games use it, but that its also an unnecessary limitation in the same way as Real Time with Pause (a design choice) and the DOTA 2 camera unable to zoom out further (a self-imposed technical limitation). I started getting wrist pain after playing like 20 hours of Grim Dawn.

The other issue is that the builds are never very exciting. They all seem to be very focused on theorycrafting which skills combine best with which gear, but games like Grim Dawn and Titan Quest, which are admittedly older, boil down to picking the best 2 or 3 skills and stacking passives that make them super powerful. So then you end up mashing one button the majority of the game.

If there are ARPGs out there that want to attract a new audience of people like me, like Monster Hunter with World, those are the two biggest pain points to correct. A better control scheme and more interesting buttons to press.

I’m definitely open to any that already do this, but I’m not familiar with them outside of Diablo.

Cosmos Server, Yunohost, CasaOS, Tipi, TrueNAS. There’s projects like this that have ‘app stores’ that are just an interface for you to enter parameters for a Docker compose file (or something similar) like the default username and password, etc. They aren’t flawless but flawless is an unrealistic standard for things with so many config options.

Because they’re asking you to use a source that isn’t an Alex Jones analogue? Lol. Someone linked the UN report above. Go read it.

Its not okay, but do they also warn about how much data Facebook, X, etc collect and share willingly with the US Govt? That’s the problem with most of these stories is people only care when its China specifically. As if the US doesn’t have a greater ability to destroy Canada if it ever had the incentive to do so. The framing is never ‘spy apps are bad’, just ‘this one spy app is bad’ when its the government saying it.

They’ve gotten several schools to reduce or sever their relationships to companies that directly fund and supply Israel. Its not going to have an immediate impact like withholding a cheque, but it does affect them.

I think you are a deeply unserious person who idolizes poverty by saying vegans making the choice are bad and people forced into are good. I also think, based on this conversation, that you hold no strong convictions that can’t be shaken out of you with a little bit of hardship and can’t contextualize any amount of self-sacrifice because of your obsession with veganism being a privileged position. I already told you that people who have no other option are not a target of criticism, but people like you who who use others as a scapegoat certainly are. I’m blocking you now though because this is going nowhere.

You literally asked me the question and are now chastising me for my answer. This is the “how do you know someone is vegan” joke. I pointed out self-preservation to point out that vegans don’t go around attacking poor people and don’t expect people to keep their principles in those situations. I made a choice I don’t expect other people to make. I point my criticisms at the people I know in real life who shop at the exact same stores I do and make similar amounts of money, but still use poor people as an excuse not to change their own behavior.

Yes and yes because I’ve been there.

Everyone is more privileged than someone. It’s obviously more privileged to be able to eat fresh vegetables vs. people having to eat bark in occupied countries. But most serious vegans will also tell you that if you’re on a desert island and your only way to survive is to kill and eat a pig (as ridiculous as the scenario is), you should do it, because we acknowledge self-preservation is real and valid.

Am I privileged if I can afford to eat Beyond Burgers every night but I eat rice and beans instead? What if I can’t afford those things, still eat rice and beans, but I tell people I’m vegan to avoid awkward social interactions? You’re making up a caricature of vegans in your head, comparing them to poor people who happen to not be able to afford meat, and then saying the latter is somehow a better person.

The option you presented is a poor non-vegan person vs. a wealthier vegan person. There are people in between these two things.

People aren’t vegan through limited choice. It’s a conscious decision. You might eat a plant-based diet because you can’t afford meat, but that doesn’t make you the same as someone who is choosing not to eat meat on purpose. You’re comparing someone who wants to be vegan with someone who doesn’t and saying one is superior/less annoying. They’re two different people.
