Even more aggregious is the EU’s audacity to declare that tech companies must be horizontally integrated. What’s next, are they going to go after Nintendo?

I know right? Paying $5/year for a hobby that I get tons of enjoyment out of is ridiculous. How dare they make money off of their work!

I’m just here to say that bards are awesome.

If you go with Bard, eloquence is the power build, but Valor might be more syngergistic if you still want to get in melee. You get medium armor proficiency, shields, all the spell casting goodness of bard, plus extra attack at level 6.

how does bg3 play on a non-pro/max machine? Is it doable?

I feel like conversatives just learn first principals and stop there. It’s kinda sad. The FCC, FTC, etc exist in order to keep our markets fair and consumer friendly.

This weird, free-trade utopia that they dream about does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist. Instead when you remove all the regulation, you get anarchy like we see today in many 3rd world countries.

I would love to see our government get more efficient and targetted with its regulation, but to simply argue against it is extremely naive.

Thanks for this! I’m excited to check it out.

But now I’m curious. Is there a tool, template, or some software that everyone’s using to make their PDFs? They all have the same font, theme, format, etc.

It had all kinds of rendering bugs on the iPad

I think when Apple announces battery life for watches, the measurement is for the current watch on the current software. Over time, yes your battery holds less charge, but also, the software gets new features that the newer hardware handles just fine, but the older hardware starts to struggle with. Apple doesn’t provide data for newer software on older devices. There’s no spec sheet from Apple saying, “if you upgrade your series 5/6 to WatchOS 9, you should expect this new, lower battery life.”

But we all know newer, better features are going to use more compute - that’s just how technology works. So you either 1) cut off older devices from the newer features, which users get grumpy about, 2) provide the new features but don’t say anything about the impact or 3) provide new features but say how it impacts older devices and maybe provide toggles and system controls to enable/disable. I don’t think #3 is really in Apple’s DNA - that’s more of a Microsoft approach.

Mine is cooler than the iPhone 13 mini that it replaced, if my one data point makes any difference.

I don’t think we’ll see it for a few years, but I feel like Apple has laid out their plans for this when they announced the VisionPro. It runs iPhone and iPad apps in Stage Manager. So does the iPad Pro. And I can definitely see that it’s a possibility for the phones in the future.

Now the chips in the phones aren’t M-series, so it might be a while until we’ve got the horsepower, and I’m sure there’s some developer-changes necessary as well, but it doesn’t seem out of the question.

So just get a terminal app lol. Try blink.

If you use an iPad Pro, the overcast layout is just stilly looking. I switched back to the Podcasts app. I heard he’s working on updating the UI, and I’ll try it again when it’s redone.

I’m happy to see a list there Curse of Strahd isn’t #1. Maybe it was my DM (he tried his best), but I thought it was just okay and nothing special.

I feel like VTTs surged during the pandemic (not that it’s over) and now a lot of people went back to playing in person

No true Scotsman, as they say

As a hard core liberal, I promptly uninstalled that shit as soon as I saw my first Chinese military propaganda.

No, they want to train AI models. They don’t give a shit about taking over ActivityPub.

I tried to upvote this, but wefwef lost connection and wouldn’t let me.

The problem is that the courts are creating a two-tier society. One for non-religious people, and another for people who don’t want to be nice because their in-group says they don’t have to be.
