Great to see, as it helps with one of the main sources of friction with third-party libraries on the Deck.

ainahan se Naton uskottavuus on riippunut täysin siitä onko uskottavaa, että muut mukaanlukien Yhdysvallat on valmiita tulemaan kovan paikan tullen apuun. Se ei vaan ole koskaan aiemmin ole ollut näin epävarmalla pohjalla.

I don’t think it’s exactly that. With normal administrations you can usually believe then when they say they’re in talks and close to reaching an agreement. Here it should be very clear by this point to even the most gullible that Trump is just lying about it constantly. Someone suggested it’s algorithmic trading looking at news articles that still tend to present Trump’s every proclamation as serious at play

I’d suggest NeoDB too. It is great for keeping track of not just movies but also books, video games, music and books. https://eggplant.place/ is one of the main instances.

For getting recommendations and looking at ratings I do also like Movielens.

Most people weren’t even on the internet yet in the mid-90s so I’m curious about what kind of enshittification of IMDB did you see in the late 90s? That’s the time I remember it being good still but I don’t really recall when the horrible redesigns started occurring.

I doubt the first poster who mentioned was talking about that. It’s a pretty common misconception about the Budapest memorandum.

they’re not really breaking Budapest memorandum (not that they wouldn’t break any treaty in a heartbeat) because it did not say the other signatories would have to defend Ukraine from anyone else. It’s still a bad precedent for nuclear disarmament of course but then again the Trump administration has done every fucking thing they can to make literally every country in the world want nuclear weapons now because they’ve completely broken the old order where countries had at least some faith in USA mostly upholding and abiding by international law and supporting their supposed allies.

Been broken all day

Finally more on this. Very interested in how well they’re able to implement auto-spatialization.

En usko että tässä on kyse Trumpista tai geopolitiikasta. Vastaavia rajoituksiahan on Yhdysvalloissakin lukuisat osavaltiot ottaneet käyttöön tai puuhaamassa. Ymmärtääkseni tässä on aika voimakasta lobbausta lastensuojelujärjestöiltä taustalla.

I don’t know about that. I think they were pretty unapologetic about and certainly provided (bad but clear) ideological reasons for all the murdering they did, even making them official government projects. Don’t remember reading much about handwaving except in the context of certain types of salutes.

Nowhere in that comment was I equivocating the two. It’s not like the only two options are “USA bad, Iran good” or “USA bad, Iran bad”. That’s just a false dichotomy and more of the kind of black and white thinking I was criticizing. I also don’t have to find ways to not feel uncomfortable about it simply because I am not an American.

Yes, Nazis famously made nuanced moral judgements and never sought to demonize or thought certain groups were unequivocally bad at all. LMFAO.

Ah yes, if only we’d let moral absolutists like you take the wheel, we’d finally have a world where every conflict is solved by pointing at the other side and yelling “No, you’re the baddie!”

Heaven forbid anyone try to classify things at a level above a kindergarten playground.

It’s not naive, it’s absolutely essential that one is able to assess differences even between two bad actors. What I would suggest is naive is to deny this. Coincidentally such thinking also played a part in electing Trump instead of Kamala because people suggested there was no difference.

worth noting this was apparently a Leopard 1 which is from the era of German tank design where it was thought it’s pointless to have lots of armor because it would be penetrated by anti-tank weapons if hit anyway.

As I said. “Analysis” only based on a theoretical framework with zero supporting facts is not analysis, it’s dogma.

I don’t think there was much shovelware at all, mostly it was indies who were passionate about VR trying to make games with their limited skillset that get derided with that term. The userbase to support the unrealistic expectations of AAA gaming just has never been there but I think we have seen a lot of amazing stuff if not trapped in that mindset of nothing other than traditonal big gaming industry mattering.

And FB/Meta did pour a lot of money into making those near-AAA games too. People just didn’t like that they did it while trying to ensure they got some benefit from it so it never caught on and then the pivot to standalone came…

Sorry but colonialism being to blame here seems like an a priori assumption with you and not anything that you’ve actually factually established.

I certainly don’t have a problem with the idea of colonialism or other parts of history having very long lasting and diverse effects but it’s just not the case that we can say it is the root cause of any given issue absent of any real evidence for such a claim.

No doubt it and many other historical events will affect many things later on but it’s still not really a reasonable position to assume that has to be it even with lots of evidence that makes it seem unlikely in a particular case. Colonialism did not introduce anti-homosexual attitudes to the African continent. Islam, which arrived before the western colonialists also has them but wasn’t the first appearance of that there either.
