Why would there be a sequel? It's based on a light novel they butchered, they already implemented all the content of the light novel while changing almost all of it, there's no more original content.

It's not a bad film, I just hate that it was somewhat advertised as the adaptation of "all you need is kill" and as decent of a movie as it is, it's a piss poor adaptation.

I feel like rogues will get more excited to avoid a nat 1 than eating it, given that they have a trait specifically to avoid it.

It's not about being super stealthy, it's about having a trait that effectively doesn't let you roll less than a 10 in any trained/expertised skill iirc. They are not just good, they are reliably good.

fushuan ,

it's a reference to elden ring. That's Tanith and Rickard/the serpent.

They are comparing them because Russia's justification for the war was that Ukraine is full of fascists and Russia isn't (bs). We should be able to criticise bad stuff without comparing it however.

Does it help if someone forces you to do the thing or is is better to give time and space until you decide to do it? Asking for a friend.

Im sorry for anyone not saying their parents, it's kind of their job.

I did create one in the nsfw instance and it has the same username as this one, but it's not been used since it was created mostly, so just one.

And xenophobia is apparently a subset of racism, since it's discrimination based on place of origin, and regardless of what the name implies, racism also accounts for place of origin alongside ethnicity so... Yeah, it's racism.

When you think about it, low humms sound soothing so... I guess he was right? I do enjoy humming to myself sometimes.

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

fushuan ,

but... this is not the math you see at STEM, this is the math you see at high school at best. There's no deeper meaning in actual STEM math problems, they are way too abstract or specific. There's no watermelons, it's just some a, b, n1, nk... maybe some physics formulas that apply to velocity, mass... I read 0 problems in my uni math and physics courses where they used real world examples.

I see your point but that's for high schoolers, not STEM students or alumnus.

fushuan ,

Your case would apply for the legitimate use of streamio, where you can log into all the services and you can watch whatever through that service's credentials.

fushuan ,

I have never used the intended features (torrentio ftw) but in this page they have a stack of app icons. There's prime video, netflix, HBO, disney...

fushuan ,

Worse actually, since we usually visit a subset of the web, and by "fake clicking" all the ads of all the websites we visit, we actually give google a pretty good profile of the websites we visit, and that's bad. Fake clicking is not as private as people think it is.

fushuan ,

It still only clicks ads of the webpages you visit, which again is a pretty good tracking pattern. I prefer to be tracked as "blocks all of them" than "clicks all the ads of these webpages, which are about XYZ, so they must have interests in XZY, which is actually true since I did visit those websites".

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Tidal is the only one for me since it's the only one with an unofficial HiFi Linux client, which is a wrapper around the web version but with HiFi enabled.

I'm happy reading that they are decent on pay for artists.

fushuan ,

Idk what the other two are saying because Tidal HiFi is an unofficial client that let's you reproduce high quality music, being basically the only one that let's you do it on Linux. Yeah it's a web wrapper but with HiFi enabled or whatever, I don't really remember but the default web version doesn't have HiFi and the app does and it's noticeable.

https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi?tab=readme-ov-file#features

fushuan ,

If you are talking about Tidal HiFi, the UI might be similar to the web version but apparently itbruns on a modified version of chrome that allows HiFi music? I did test it some months ago and the quality difference is noticeable.

fushuan ,

Check this web player wrapper, it allows for high and Max quality

https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi?tab=readme-ov-file#features

fushuan , (edited )

Most of them, honestly. Idk where you looked but Tidal, Amazon music, apple music, dezeer or however it's pronounced, all were available in Spain. I stocked with Tidal because of the Linux client but apparently theybalso pay artists the most so yay.

As an edit, you mentioned metal, I listen to lots of mainstream metal bands (powerwolf, system of a dawn, dragonforce, sonar arctica, blind guardian...), some other maybe not so well known ones (tyr, alestorm, korpiklaani), and some local ones that are more rock than metal (vendetta, su ta gar, kaotiko, la polla records).

fushuan ,

According to another commenter chromium on Linux is hard capped on quality, so although it's noticeable vs the web version, it's not actual Max quality. I haven't noticed it although my headphones should be able to show the difference (sony MDR 7506, I know, yes, for everything, people say that it doesn't sound nice, I don't care I love it) so idk.

fushuan ,

100% agree, it's better than all the other music services in quality on linux just because it (3rd party) offers something that has somewhat better sound quality than the basic video version of any other one, and Spotify being the only other one that has an unendorsed official native client (done by the devs in their spare time without any official support offered) is pointless because their best audio quality is trash.

fushuan ,

It's encrypted though?

You are trusting their server security and them as a company, sure, but it is encrypted against the server for sure.

It's not as good as ir could be but that's no reason to spread misinformation.

fushuan ,

And it infuriates me to no end. It's one thing to trust them and their servers and it's another thing altogether to send actual plaintext data around the net, that's crazy and it's what people are implying.

For the record, until WhatsApp implemented e2e their messages were indeed fucking plaintext, and it took a while before they were pressured into e2e. It helps for them that their platform is very mobile based vs telegram, where the service is more server based. Telegram did have enough time to implement a server based e2e 0 knowledge encryption protocol though, it's not really rocket science at this point.

fushuan ,

Tegram stores all the conversation in their servers, since you don't need to be connected in the phone or have the phone witchednon if you want to chat in the pc, or in another phone. This means that the authority is the server. WhatsApp it's not like that, if you delete a shared photo after a while it will be cached out and you will lost access to it, meaning that they don't store that stuff. The same thing happens with WhatsApp desktop or web, they stay in an infinite loading icon until you twitch on the phone or sometimes even unlock it.

This means that whatever telegram develops must not only keep the group chat encrypted in the server, but any valid client of a user must be able to decipher the content, so every client must somehow have the key to unlock the content. One way of doing it would be for every client of a single user to generate keys (which I'm sure they already do) and reform a key exchange between them, to share that way a single shared key, which is what identifies your account. Then toy could use that shared key to decipher the group chat shared key which telegram can store on their server or do whatever is done in those cases, I'm not that well versed.

The problem here lies in what happens when you delete and/or logout of all the accounts, currently you can login into the server again, because telegram has all the info required, but if they store the "shared key" then it's all moot, I guess they could store a user identifying key pair, with the private key encrypted with a password, so that it can be accessed from wherever. They should as always offer MFA and passkey alternatives to be able to identify as yourself every time you want to log into a new client, without requiring the password and so on.

This is some roughly designed idea I just had that should theoretically work, but I'm sure that there's more elegant ways to go about this.

It's work for sure to implement all of this in a secure way, provided that you have to somehow merge everything that already exists into the new encryption model, make everyone create a password and yada yada while making sure that it's as seamless as possible for users. However, I feel like it's been quite a while and that if they did not do it already, theybjist won't, we either trust them with our data or search for an alternative, and sadly there's no alternative that has all the fuzz right now.

fushuan ,

I wasn't talking about situations with compromised accounts, I was talking about legitimate accounts that were created in a typical way being converted to a zero knowledge encryption method, I was aknowledging that it's hard doing that conversion when a user might have several clients logged on (2 phones, 6 computers...).

My point was that if they have not put any motivation in the transition, they never will because the bigger the userbase, the harder for them to manage the transition. Also, I find that sad because they should have invested more effort in that instead of all the features we are getting, but whatever.

If you found the technical terms confusing, public/private keys are some sort of asymmetric "passwords" used in cryptography that secure messages, and shared keys would be symmetrical passwords. The theory between key exchanges and all around those protocols are taught in introductory courses to cryptography in bachelors and masters, and I'm sorry to say that I don't have the energy to explain more but feel free to read about the terms if you feel like it.

If you however found it confusing because I write like crap, I'm sorry for potentially offending you with the above paragraph and I'll blame my phone keyboard about it :)

fushuan ,

You can have synced authentication right now on their password manager, so unless they remove features I don't think they will remove the waybto export codes from bw.

fushuan ,

No shit, but that is not a neurodivergent issue. If I'm viving in a given lighting and someone changes the lighting without proper warning I'm gonna get pissed.

As always, this is a boundaries, respect and communication issue.

Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles ( www.polygon.com )

Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim...

fushuan ,

Yeah, it's bizarre reading people say they want physical games because if it's not physical steam might remove it. Bro just download it and don't delete it from your device, steam is offering a re-download service but nothing is stopping users from just downloading the game and keeping it in their disks.

it's not about the damage the throw does, it's the prepared delayed attack that the thrown one does
