We’ve been debating whether someone remembering a birthday is a reflection of how much they care or not.

 

I had a discussion recently with someone about this. Since we don’t really celebrated our birthdays we weren’t sure what’s “normal “.

I hope Loops becomes good. It's too soon to tell if it will ever be ready. It's good that they have a working alpha-release in app stores that people can download on their devices, but they have a long, long way to go.

I thought that was Nana Visitor in the picture but I was wrong. Damn, I was enthusiastic there for a moment!

This used to be a great feature for vintage computers. If the machine had internet, you could search with HTTP site instead of HTTPS.

The alternatives listed here might not require JS, but most if not all of them require SSL. Vintage computers struggle to support that. Anyway, Google is best avoided when possible so hopefully an alternative surfaces .

The words “ceasefire” and “Israel” are oxymorons. The blood lust must be satiated one way or another.

USA deserve no credit for a ceasefire to a massacre they’ve pumped billions of $ worth of weapons into.

I'm crying (deservedly) in iOS

I doubt the person who wrote that snark knows this, but Irish culture has been decimated since the English language was forced on the place. It remains a fire hose of Anglo culture that has risen rapidly generation by generation.

This service requires no account and is instead ad supported. I've linked directly to Alice, one of my favourite sci-fi shows that I discovered on this platform.

The few shows I've watched had high production standards. I don't mind reading subtitles and it's great to escape the American stuff. For example: there is very little gun violence and the action and plots are more creative compared to the Anglo stuff we're used to.

I can't really comment on the acting. It looks good to me but I'm not a native to these places. Anyway, I recommend this site.

 

Several movie and TV sites have come and go where you can just visit and watch without even creating an account. Quality might not be as good as a paid service and they are no doubt in the grey-to-red zone legally. I don't see the same service for music.

Why do you think is there such a difference in trends?

I also expect an intensification of propoganda, disinformation and general online discord via bots and sockpuppet accounts. I wouldn't be surprised if far-right agitators get indirectly funded that way too.

 

I just leared about this documentary. They managed to get most if not all of the people you'd want to hear from. Although a huge fan, I'm not sure I can watch 5 hours of this all at once, but I'll definitely make my way through it gradually.

Seems to be people from any walk of life and any age can just get reduced to a paperweight by this thing. Very sad and we have no substantial supports for them.

 

Three men fishing on a naomhóg, one of them crowns himself king, the other two execute a clever revenge.

 

After seeing the various Commodore keyboards in Alien: Romulus I'm wondering if these ones from Silo existed in the past too.

 

I've only found this on amazon.de and they have no stock. Doing a web search turns up nothing. It's like it never existed, but the listing on amazon.de says it was released on January 31st 2023. Can anyone help?

The authors (according to the listing) are Crewman Daniels, Rick Sternbach, Michael Okuda, Trevor Gleeson, Mike Smith, David Ultra, Susan McNichols. But it's independently published which makes no sense. Maybe it's a scam. Here's the Amazon link https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0BTKSP6QF/?coliid=I1TE4A8V7P0RQ3&colid=2P50FYXVDWCJ8&psc=0&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it
