Everspace 2 is really close in terms of combat and overall gameplay, but it lacks the immersive simulation aspects. Freelancers idle radio chatter did some heavy lifting back in the day.

Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.

There’s the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.

You can probably (never used proton) set up a filter on the new address to mark or move stuff that was originally sent to gmail, too. Helps visualize the accounts you need to migrate/update.

I went through my stored logins to migrate the vast majority of my accounts one by one (and deleted quite a few old and forgotten ones in the process). Took a couple of hours, but went mostly well.

For everything that I might have missed, I have gmail set up to forward everything to my new address. The new address (I went with posteo myself) has a filter that automatically moves stuff addressed to gmail to a separate folder. Whenever something ends up in there, I go and migrate or delete the account.

Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

Isn’t the master branch the submissive one? Always behind, getting force fed content from the other branches.

If the IT departments of any major corp allows anyone within their network to enable this feature, they and everyone the work for need a permanent waning label for idiocy and utter incompetence attached to their resume.

The catalogue seems largely identical to Spotify, but Tidal has higher quality music (I recently found an album in Dolby Atmos).

I also found their app to be more intuitive (which is not exactly a high bar compared to Spotify).

Most importantly though, Tidal has better rates for the artists instead of paying Joe Rogan.

They did a video about alternatives to Adobe a while back. And while they generally liked and praised programs such as Affinity, they did conclude that as a company, even minor losses in productivity (e.g. for their editors) quickly add up.

So yeah, it would not be the first time they present and praise alternatives even of they don’t end up using them.

The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.

• The return of Bridge 4.

• The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down the mountain side from the sky.

• “You cannot have my pain”

“I build for China”

There’s a video about a rail replacement helicopter in which Tim states that Tom wanted to do a video about it. But he was busy at the time, so they sent the tip to Tim instead.

A lot of newer shows cannot be watched randomly though because the episodes actually build upon each other.

If you take older shows like TNG or X files: you could easily jump back in after missing half a season. The episodes were written to be mostly self-contained, because missing an episode or two because of life was very very common. Season finales were often a major exception, and were therefore also majority advertised so people knew to plan around them.

If you write a show for streaming, however, there is no concept of “missing an episode”. So the writers are freed from that constraint, and subsequently write shows that are only meant to be watched in their entirety, in order.

Not unknowingly. The hacker turned on obvious cheats (wallhack, aimbot) during their matches. Both players reacted immediately, clearly stating that they have hacks on in voice chat. One of them then left the match, the other player continued, but stopped shooting.

Which only works when timezones exist. Without timezones, the question would need to be “what time of day is it in ?”, and you’d get “morning” or “afternoon”. Any answer to that question is inherently more fuzzy than 8:25 or 17:16.

They’re also hosted entirely in Germany, and really transparent about how many government requests they receive, most of which they outright deny.

Also, you can pay by literally mailing them cash, which I find mostly funny, but it does allow for true anonymity.

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.

Not to mention the two sequels World without End and A Column of Fire, set in the 1400s and 1600s, respectively, and the prequel Kingsbridge set around the year 1000.

Then there’s the century trilogy which takes place in the 20th century, and a whole lot of smaller works like A Dangerous Fortune, which manages to make you care for some bankers in 19th century London.
