I’m curious about that book ever since reading “The Book Thief” (about 65% in). But it also feels odd and betrayal to read it for some reason.

Is this even legal? I mean people paid for the lifetime version.

I think another good example would be Cyberpunk 2077. Its release was insanely horrible but it seems they managed to solve it somehow.

Haven’t really followed the gaming news regards this game though. However, I hope they manage to find a solution. The Ori games were truly masterpieces (in my opinion).

I’m not an American and I don’t live in America. I don’t have much knowledge in this but, I’m quite pessimistic on that regard.

Have you seen other countries? Fascism, hatred and racism are unfortunately on the rise. To name a few; Israel, India, Germany, The Netherlands and Italy (I think it was Italy that had a year* ago or something, bunch of Nazis in standing ovation with their hand ups for their “fallen comrade”);

Wish DS2 would directly also be released on Steam but unfortunately… I have read it would not be. Correct me if I’m wrong, make me happy.

They had a whole stupid argument about… Cheese. It went from small arguing to actual conflict.

Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.

Yeah, your right. uBlock Origin block advertisement on the browser. However, Spicetify blocks advertisement within the desktop app and allows for multiple add-ons/ extension plus customizing your entire app.

  • Windows; Specitify.
  • Android; ReVanced.

There’s no reason to waste your time on ads.

That’s what you say now because you are not in that situation. But I’m quite certain you would not. Because if you know, you used to have for example 500k salary and suddenly it would be 250k, you would refuse and want the full 500k. No matter whether you produce “slob”.

I certainly would not be okay with getting my salary suddenly halved. No matter what kind of work or salary it first was.

I sort of find it funny and sad that some people expect another person to do the same work (or similar) for half the salary. While most of us would not do that if it wasn’t needed. Sure, he’s rich but money is money.

Would you do the same work you’re currently doing for half the salary when you know, you can get the same or better salary elsewhere? I don’t think so.

Renner went on to suggest that the proposed lower salary was a result of his near-fatal 2023

Though his take on this is.. well, odd.

“This is not Marvel, mind you. This is like, just Disney, not even really Disney. It’s just the penny pinchers, the accountants. I told them to go fly a kite. I mean, just at the at the insult offer. So we didn’t see eye to eye on it,”

It’s sad that he became arrogant. He could’ve just let it at “no, I will not do it”.

Anyone watched this show and could tell if it’s worth to watch?

[–] ModernRisk 10 points 3 months ago (8 children)

Can you explain? I thought Proton was a good service due to their VPN and such.

 

I’m heavily debating which of the two, I should purchase.

I love cats and both are about cats but can only afford one unfortunately.

If anyone here have read one or both of them - which of the two do you recommend?

 

Question to the physical book readers here, what do you use as bookmark?

I currently got a paper bookmark but don’t like it to be honest.

 

Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?

It genuinely bothers me that Apple doesn’t allow this.

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go. Their dedicated Reddit is on private due to the fiasco.

I’m watching “Mr.Robot” and pretty often an extra letter with the subtitles comes, shows as [P].

I added a screenshot of what, I meant.

Does anyone knows what this means?

PS: I recommend this show!

I know this is the TestFlight version, so bugs to be expected however…

Is it me or have there been a bit more bugs lately? Perhaps I’m just unlucky.

The issues I have encountered:

  • Sudden crashes
  • Sudden freezes
  • Some subscriptions disappearing
  • Laggy with scrolling
  • Notifications does not work
 

I played GoT on release and right after Sekiro, thinking it would be A similar game.

It certainly wasn’t and thus didn’t really enjoy it, although the gameplay was alright. Also played on a pod TV which wasn’t able to do 4K.

Now I’m curious if it is worth it to replay the game on PS5 with a 4K TV.

I remember the story was about honor, dignity, revenge and not to be ‘enslaved’ by it. However the gameplay was similar to Assassin Creed kind and a bit lackluster.

Would you recommend the game again or rather try another game?

 

So my brother loves the Gundam Wing series and he really wants me to watch with him the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway”.

However, I have never really watched the Gundam series as - I was never really into Mecha besides a few animes.

Thus my question is: Can I watch the Hathaway movie without knowing anything about the anime series?

 

So recently learnt about Mastodon, thought I will just try it!

However, I have never used Twitter (ahem, sorry. “X”). I don’t really understand how it all works.

I have followed a few communities/people but all I see is single chat-messages with no replies beneath it and couldn’t really see about what it is unless it’s specific said in the sentence.

Could someone try to explain it a bit, a shorty summary or redirect me to somewhere it is already explained?

Note: I’m using Mammoth app for iOS, for Mastodon.

For the digital readers, on which platform do you read and why?

Phone, eReader, tablet, iPad etc.

I personally have been reading on my iPhone but it feels a bit.. off lately. Can’t pinpoint what exactly it is.

Was thinking to purchase a tablet or eReader but uncertain which one and if they’re worth to get for only reading.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses! I’ll look into them all!

 

I would like to ask if it possible to have Face ID lock and the show the display name.

So not the name you made when making an account but the second one, to show. Currently (at least for me), it shows the account name instead of display name.

Would also like to ask is there any way to donate a few bucks to you? This app has been insanely good and I’m assuming, you’re making this in your free time without anything in return.

Question about FHMY (self.piracy)
submitted 2 years ago by ModernRisk to c/piracy
 

So, I’m bit out of the loop.

FHMY went down due to the ML domain (right?) and it seems they went to Calckey.

I was wondering whether FHMY will return to Lemmy sooner or later.

I was not sure where to post this, apologies if this t the right place to do so.

Was not sure where to post/ask this. Apologies of this is the wrong place to do so.

Is there any federated Pinterest alternative which isn’t bombarded with advertisements?
