Best cat ever

Compulsory licensing for streaming should be a thing. It exists for radio, why not video? Let services get 1-2 years of exclusivity. After that it's fair game for any streaming service to stream it. All services pay into a pool that gets refistributed to the rights holders. We have been doing that for decades for radio, for the EU blank media tax, etc. It's a solved problem.

Courts have often agreed with shareholders in shareholder lawsuits about such things

The rule is so that you can see what part of the fee is mandated by the government and what part is charged by the ISP. The ISPs are trying to blame price increases on the government. This will show they are lying.

Seems to be just for this weekend. If you want to play after that, you need to buy it

On kbin you can block domains. It's the next best thing.

IIRC it's being worked on. I think they're working on builing a case.

I think Lemmy and Kbin publicly publish a page of blocked instances

Exactly. They can say whatever the hell they want. In the end only the ToS matters. If the ToS says they can, then they will.

True, but swords (including longswords) are largely a backup weapon or ceremonial too. A sword doesn't do much against maille or plate armour.

I have fought with many kinds of European blades, from longswords to zweihanders to sabres and foils. Some of these can be very light and thin. In fact, the average longsword weighs the same as the average katana: between 1.1 and 1.5 kg. But I'll take the length, cross guard and double edge of a longsword over a katana every day.

No, like the original poster says, the fancy Japanese folding technique is just a way to make a decent blade from shitty impure steel. Once that is done, you have better steel. That's all it does.

Probably still worse. European swordmaking is also very good. But since the european swords tend to be thicker and harder they will probably still beat katanas, all other things considered equal

I have an Acer Nitro 5 too and I would recommend against it on fan noise alone. Saying that it's very loud is an understatement. It's absurd how loud it is even under light loads. It's like sitting in a jet on take-off.

My wife has an Asus ROG and it is much, much quieter when gaming than mine is when idling. So, I'd say get the ROG, not the Nitro.

Source? I didn't see that yet
