Choosing to produce generic and soulless music for profit isn't a good reason to dislike a band?

At all?? They don't even have paper bags?

Hopefully this is just a meme because if you actually do this it's more wasteful than just using a disposable bag once and bringing your reusable ones next time.

Yeah man, pull that ladder up behind you!

Except what he actually wants is for AI companies to be free to slurp whatever they want, but for average joes to still have the book thrown at them for pirating the Adobe suite.

Aren't there already pretty specific laws about what amount of a work can be copied before it's plagiarism?

Sure, I'm not saying they're not good to watch for adults, but we're talking about a kid with a declared aversion to media targeted at children. The aesthetics of both shows scream "kid's show" regardless of the textual content.

These both definitely present as "made for children".

Li'l

Yeah this is a big reason why I'm not trying to get back into software dev. It seems like every job not already threatened or eliminated by AI is training or using it.

To be clear, at this point BattleEye requires no effort from the devs to get working on Linux. On the contrary, the EFT devs have gone out of their way to ensure it does not run on Linux, and have deleted forum posts requesting a change in this policy.

The EFT devs have their heads very far up their asses when it comes to Linux. They specifically banned the platform and have deleted forum posts about the topic. Fuck em, there are better games in the genre by this point (Hunt Showdown runs great on Linux for example...)

Have you tried recently? We've been pretty much at parity for years now. Almost every game that doesn't run is because the devs are choosing to make it that way.

Depending on how willing you are to set things up for her, you might want to take a second look at either the Voyager, or any other QMK-compatible keyboard. It's incredibly flexible firmware that lets you define fully custom layouts. If she's doing a lot of typing, it might be worth the effort to make (and adjust to) a custom layout with quick access to her most used modifiers and symbols.

I've got the Ergodox, so my recommendation is entirely off the strength of that product. If I were buying from them today, I'd probably get the Moonlander, but that's because I use my keyboard with my home desktop 99%+ of the time. If you plan to travel, commute, or otherwise use your keyboard in multiple places, I think the low profile keys will be perfect for that.

As for add-ons, there isn't really anything to add for the Voyager. If you're considering the Moonlander, I would be tempted by The Platform. It's a full third of the already hefty price of the keyboard, but it looks like the dream tilt solution. The legs on the Ergodox, which look to be the same legs as on the Voyager, are serviceable, but the interface that keeps them in place can wear out needing replacement, and they can only tilt so much (the Voyager has less I believe, so you can still tilt it but at less esoteric angles). The platform will let you get nearly vertical with each hand if you want, which is kind of the ergonomic dream. Although, tbf, after using my Ergodox for a couple years, I rarely tilt it at all and just use it flat on the desk along with the included wrist/palm supports

Yeah fair, most of the more granular systems go that way. I know Pathfinder fights can take a minute as well.

Combat can be fun, but DnD in particular reeaaally drags sometimes. An excellent DM helps, but even Dimension 20 takes a full session for a big combat encounter, which is usually just exhausting IMO. I much prefer systems like PBTA that keep combat pretty breezy and improv-friendly.

I think we all know this, but it's the exact same argument for Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Getting off centralized, corporate, for-profit cloud services should be a priority for anyone who is philosophically aligned with FOSS.

The books are way better if you care to try.

ZSA Voyager is great, but it's ergo so neither ISO nor ANSI.
