Calling Arcane “pleasant enough” is wild. Personally, I rank it as one of the best shows of all time, not just animation. The second season suffers a bit from wanting to do too much in too little time but it’s still incredible nonetheless.
(I still have to watch Pantheon. I keep forgetting about it.)
Given that the Soviet occupation ended 35 years ago and that Russia certainly has become less popular since its invasion of Ukraine, I would have expected the use of the Russian language to decrease instead of increase. Can anyone shed some light on this development?
It looks ridiculous. Should at least have been a smart watch. But I guess you can’t demand a six-figure price without making it an analog watch — no matter if it fits the design.
Vim is actually highly ergonomic; you can do everything with a minimum of keystrokes without moving a hand away to a mouse or touchpad or oven the arrow keys. If that’s worth the time investment to learn it, is a highly subjective question. But I’d say it’s a lot easier than many people think.
One game that might fit the bill or at least serve as a good base for a homebrew is East Texas University. It’s heavily inspired by BtVS and uses the generic Savage Worlds system, which should make it easy to adapt, possibly making use of the Horror, Fantasy, and Super Powers Companions. I haven’t played ETU yet but Savage Worlds as a system delivers pulp action with a good bit of crunch, especially for fights — somewhere in the middle between GURPS and Fate, I’d say.
If you have your (encrypted) password manager file backed up to one or more otherwise unencrypted media, then remembering your master password will be enough in a pinch. But yes, for day to day password handling you’d want to have a few more memorized, e.g. the ones you’ve mentioned. As those are passwords you enter daily, it’s usually not much of a problem, especially if you use memorization techniques.
You do realize that you don’t have to read a documentation from beginning to end, don’t you? But for that specific feature you need and don’t know how to use—RTFM!
PSA: GrapheneOS is not affected by this, one of many good reasons to use it.
uBlock Origin works fine with Firefox but it’s not better. Brave Shield is basically UBO rewritten in Rust and integrated directly in the browser code so it isn’t limited by the extension API and works more efficiently.
This! I never understand people who recommend Librewolf or other forks over Firefox just because some default settings are better.
I trust Vanadium but it’s not the best if you like your web ad-free.
It depends. The artist being a bad person doesn’t automatically make the art bad. But I also don’t want to support bad people. So, relevant questions to me are: Is the artist still alive? Do they profit from my consuming their work? Do I promote them perhaps indirectly? The answers will be different for e.g. Lovecraft vs. Rowling, or rereading a book I already own vs. convincing my book club to buy new copies.
Getting downvoted in a What’s your most controversial opinion? thread is just funny.
Having children in general is selfish and immoral. People shouldn’t be forced into existence to give their parents’ life meaning, take care of them, and/or keep civilization going.
Actually, yes! What is “important” in a general sense is a similar question to that of the meaning of life. In the end there is no external, absolute rule of nature that decides this for us but we must create our own values. And privacy is such a value. In part you can derive it from others like personal freedom but that only moves the question. Different opinions on what our values should be and how to resolve conflicting ones in specific situations is the subject of ethics and has been debated since humans could debate.

Because knowledge is power and most people don’t like giving whomever power over them for no reason. Also, it shouldn’t matter why privacy is important to people, the fact that it is should suffice to protect it.
I’ve been using the pro version, Moon+ Reader Pro, for years. It’s great for reading EPUBs, which I either buy DRM-free or, if that’s not possible, in any format and then download a “liberated” copy from Anna’s Archive.
Pineapple on pizza is great once in a while. I like to pair it with jalapeños.
I’d say the problem with season 2 is that they just had too much plot. I assume they learned that they wouldn’t get a third season and tried to cram two seasons worth of plot into one. It’s still phenomenal and I recommend to watch it but it suffers from its fast pacing that leaves little room for the characters to breathe and some side plots underdeveloped.
