My favorite part of this is that with some of the non-movie (and still canon) content it creates a sort of through line of rebellious Jedi to Anakin. Most of this comes from the Clone Wars CG series.

Yoda trained Dooku, who felt that the Jedi had a bigger purpose in protecting freedom and left the Jedi to lead the separatist movement against the Republic until he got manipulated into the dark side by Sidious.

Dooku trained Qui-Gon, who very flagrantly followed his own code within the Jedi but pushing against the edges.

Qui-Gon trained Obi-Wan, who appears very traditional in the movies, but really only when put against Anakin's rebelliousness. He fell in love with a Mandalorian diplomat (during their brief period of pacifism) and says he would have left the order for her, had she but asked. There's also evidence that he knew of Anakin and Padme's relationship far earlier than when everything goes to shit, and just... let it happen to a certain degree.

Through to Anakin, who has elements of all of them including Dooku's feeling that Jedi needed to do more in the galaxy.

It's good enough for corporate (with multiple other lines of defense).

There's also a decent amount of college and independent stations (not IHeartRadio, etc owned) that broadcast online, so location isn't an issue.

I know OP is trying to go for single purpose devices, but RadioDroid on F-Droid is great for listening to internet radio and has a built in station list.

Sure, but I've also seen plenty of content that is along the lines of "dog level of intelligence in caked up human body" (see: that slimy fucking "dog girlfriend" comic the one person posts to the comics community about once a week) and content that is "lets leave the anthro aspects on the shelf today" (Let me check my tag blacklist... pretty sure it's tagged as "feral" on boorus).

Maybe this guy is talking about anthro stuff, or even catgirls, and is just pearl clutching. But there are also some quite concerning subgroups under the furry umbrella (much like many large groups). Just saying.

And you just lost the game

I couldn't believe how much of a dump the place was honestly. Shit is being held together with duct tape, zip ties, and free veteran labor.

And the DOGE boys will see that and use it as evidence they deserve even less, ratger than seeing that's what things have been reduced to due to budget cuts.

for whatever reasons

Until recently, one man, who ran from the sinking ship of Yahoo search into Google's marketing/ads group. He bullied the former head of search out when they refused to make search worse in order to boost the ad click through rates. He then became head of search himself until fairly recently.

In depth writeup here, and there's a link to the same story as a podcast at the top.

This is entirely on brand for him. Entirely. It's kind of frustrating that somehow his idiotic business decisions managed to keep his terrible beliefs out of the public discussion. Did you think he was so into Mars colonization and space travel on a lark?

Sounds like a good case for brute forcing the filenames. Just do the proper thing and don't leave your cloud storage publicly accessible.

I don't like subscription based software, and a subscription based game launcher is even more ridiculous. Especially when there are already free open source alternatives.

With the subscription aspect in mind, this reads to me like an advertisement rather than news. Probably because you just pasted in their literal ad copy instead of giving us any of your own thoughts about it whatsoever.

A big part of why I'm on lemmy is to get away from the "natural engagement" ad posts, so in short this sort of post isn't something I want to welcome or encourage.

Personally, this post would have come across a lot differently if it was just the link to their site/blog post and even a few sentences about your personal thoughts on it. This comes across as a poorly done ad.

You didn't "just share news". You just shared an ad with effectively no further context.

 

We've heard the anguished screams of the Funhole community for an alternative to the Funhole Times. For a hard hitting publication unafraid to dig deep, unrestrained by concepts like "common sense", "integrity", "anti-treason laws", "libel lawsuits", and "basic measures of competence".

We're proud to bring you a snippet of the inaugural issue of the Funhole Gazette, and we hope some competition will drive us all to make even better content in the new year!

We also vigorously deny any allegations of sabotage of the Funhole Times facilities.

 

New Ed! Not much particularly new info, just a general lament and summary of the state of tech and how much has been pinned on magical thinking. Has some wonderfully quotable sections.

What if what we're seeing today isn't a glimpse of the future, but the new terms of the present? What if artificial intelligence isn't actually capable of doing much more than what we're seeing today, and what if there's no clear timeline when it'll be able to do more? What if this entire hype cycle has been built, goosed by a compliant media ready and willing to take career-embellishers at their word?

Please forgive my addition to the title, as it's meant to be a play on "Waiting for Godot", not a comment on the Godot game engine. Wanted to make that more clear than the title alone would.

 

Like all the best technology departments, I'm a one man army rockstar. That's a problem when I'm a bottle of everclear deep into my holiday plans, and I don't think I can get away with hiding another replacement cellphone in the budget if I throw mine in the lake again.

So how do you guys keep everything running while you're out?

 

This old youtube poop has ruined Le Mis for me. Sends me into the giggles. Can't believe this poop is 11 years old. An absolute classic from DaThings.

Prisoner 24602064^5^1! You're no one. Lol. Your time is up ^and your time is up^ and I'm Javert! You know what that means.

It means I'm free~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e.

No.

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

Yoko Taro is the creative director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, and he has released a lot of supplemental material across a variety of mediums over the years in Japan. Accord's Library is a site that is dedicated to finding this material, archiving it, and translating it.

Today, in Accord's Library Discord, they announced that they received a Cease and Desist from Square-Enix, and on Oct 31, the Library and Gallery sections of the site will be closed and taken offline.

Announcement TextDearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

If anyone is skilled with backing up sites, any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it's just to point at the right tool for the job (been almost a decade since I've backed up part of a site).

Shoutout to !helloharu@lemmy.world making the original post.

Now that romhacking.net is (effectively) dead, what sites are everyone using to keep up with new releases?

Have any of the fan continuation projects really risen beyond simply rehosting the DB that was put up on archive.org?
