  • To be fair, Mika Aaltola is known in Finland as a noted populist and doomsayer that has a flair for the dramatic. His foreign policy predictions have also been pretty much all wrong since before the start of war in Ukraine.

    I'd take anything he says or leaks with a big spoon of salt.

  • Tried it with a Nvidia card. The graphics were oddly blurry and grainy, especially anything in shadows, no matter the settings. Couldnt get past that. I'm not going to play potentially dozens of hours of nausea simulator.

  • Interesting. In finnish the word for art is 'taide'. It's etymological root word is 'taito', which means skill.

  • Well to be honest FUCK YOU! Many thousands of horses died defending Finland from Russian aggression, so fuck you. Many of the not killed horses also returned to their previous owners in Finnish farms, traumatized. Those horses were also called War Veterans, but also War Victims.

    Leave animals out of the evil humans do. They havent decided to be there. FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE.

  • Was same in Finland, we also nowdays just apply a income dependant tax here.

  • I'd fund a tv series about Rendevouz with Rama -book series. Yes, the whole series, even the crappy, goofy books not written by Clarke. Though I'd probably try to tone down the incest that goes on in some of those sequels.

  • At least thats what I've always heard from various sources during my 40'sh years on this earth (beginning from our english teacher while I was around 9 years old).

  • Niven in general is an excellent writer and a great worldbuilder, I highly recommend pretty much all of his works.

  • Also to add to this comment: as a general reminder to those not in the know, Filterlists exists. It contains useful different filterlists for different use cases, for many adblocking software (but of course Ublock origin is the best).

  • Nah, just a list of fighter parts one can try to find to build your own starship in the base game. Hadnt played the game for years, and well... It seems it clicked again. My rat brain wants to build my own perfect ship, way too bad.

  • Or carry your phone in a faraday-pouch when you're in a area where you dont wanna be known to be. You can make one yourself pretty easily. Just unbag to ping it in a plausible area.

  • Hey thanks! Synthpop might be the closest genre - I started checking youtube with keywords you provided, and adding french to it; eg. "french synthpop , french synthwave". Those started giving results that I percieve to be similar to the two examples.

    Maybe its a sound in franchophone world or the language itself that creates the mood. Thank you!

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    What is this genre/type of music called?
