I never realised. And I still like the original better.

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. Truly magnificent, just like the movie by Tarkovsky.

In parallel to that I went also down the rabbit hole about what cybernetics was and what happened to it.

I am not a peasant. I don’t play with controllers.

Given I am a patient gamer who has some nostalgia for some older titles and loves mostly artsy indie games, my shift to GOG this year, as a new Linux gamer, after having been on Steam from day one, was painless.

I want to become a supporter of the GOG Preservation Program, but the fact that I will be missing on some of the perks if not all due to them being on Discord makes me abstain for now.

What should we suggest to developers and gamers communities as an alternative?

I mean, I have a bed sofa. Dunno about refugee status, but this is some Carrie’s mom-level stuff.

That really happens there? My god. Well, after all priests come in many different uniforms. Sometimes even sounding like a screeching cabinet like RFK Jr.

I wonder how many of the people who downvote me have people in their family who will be sent to die in Iran for the lunacy of a bunch of Christians excited for Armageddon.

People who believe in any religion are the same as dormant terrorist cells. One can have perfectly formal relationships with them on a daily basis, but given the right conditions, they become a huge, possibly lethal, risk.

I like to point out that he is Swiss-Italian, not Italian. Also, feeling sorry for the nice people of Lebanon having to share citizenship with this toilet seat of a man.

What do you mean by pets?

Thank you for your answer. From what I can understand, the Stream settings in NPM do not allow for the function performed by ssl_preread_server_name. That means I would have to modify things in the NPM container itself, right?

I literally look for live performances on YouTube and then look for similar recommendations or, if the artist did it, their list of recommended channels on their own channel.

I work listening to ambient, which is a terrible minefield for AI, but having discovered Martin Stûrtzer led me to discover a bunch of new no AI instrumental and electronic (mostly modular analog synth) music artists.

I either say dormant terrorists or “the crazy lady in The Mist”.

Potato, Potato.

I treat religious people as dormant terrorists. They may be a good neighbor, a fun sex partner (although rarely for my standards) or even a loving SO, but deep inside they all made a compromise with non rational arguments and that will come up at different stages of stress.

The people you are describing have that threshold very low, but you are no different than them to me.

Calibre is a program for Windows/Linux. To be able to export books (and deDRM them) there are different plugins, but I never heard about one for Google Play Books.

Cannot say. I had a very old Kindle and all my books on device.

I deleted my Amazon account last month. No more Goodreads and IMDb is just another plus.

Extracted my ebooks from my Kindle with Calibre, so I am fine.

Feeling good and less targeted and bombarded.

If you are 58 meters tall it’s a breeze to walk that much. Please relate to the rest of us!

There are several tipping points that are worth calculating abd having a proper measurements of the levers in one’s body allows for proper ranking of the possible movements/exercises.

But yeah, there are general rules one can look at, like when you see Phelps with a 2 meters arm aperture that makes him very fit for swimming.
