This is a fair point. If people demanded their money back when a film has bad audio, I wonder if that might incentivise the industry to care more about this.

This is a real pet annoyance of mine, and I have seeing apologist posts on the internet about it.
If the actors cant enunciate properly except when they’re shouting, that’s not adding realism, they’re doing bad acting.
If the sound engineers can’t get a good audio balance for anything except the loudest moment in a film, that’s not a limitation of technology/sound physics, they’re bad at mixing.
If the director can’t keep all of this in check and make a film that people can actually enjoy, that’s not artistic choice, they’ve made a bad film.
I’m surprised VLC fares that badly with CCs encoded this way. Usually it’s pretty good. I’m also now wondering if ffmpeg also shares the same problem
For a brief brief moment I was elated when I parsed the title as ‘Palantir says it has given up on AI’. Then I read the article and was left dejected.
Adjusted to the initial sale value of the car - Less easy to cheat by not declaring income, and bigger cars (likely more expensive) that take up more space, pay more.
You’ve actually seen trans people, in person, threaten to burn down a surgery building? I doubt this.
As for people being suicidal, that’s a known problem which happens as a result of being trans in a country that wants to deny them support, which is exactly why trans people are trying to get recognition in the first place. Denying that isn’t exactly going to make their mental health any better, and they can’t be blamed for that.
(aside: I keep messing up with parsing the acronyms ECHR and EHRC.)
I doubt this will lead to anything positive, possibly even starmer aping conservative’s desire to leave human rights bodies altogether, but I wish them luck all the same.
Absolutely. Screenshots of 3d desktop cube on ubuntu more than a decade ago is what taught me linux existed. It’s an absolutely terrible and inefficient way to run desktop workspaces, but it hooked me all the same.
Users need to know what this dot means, and some like children or the elderly will likely not understand the ramifications
No job, grind away the entire waking day with a low paying zero hours contract while filing job applications, No videogames, no relaxation, more stress, costs healthcare providers more

Yet another case where if the politician seriously thought about the issue for just half a minute they’d realise their attitude makes no sense.
I’m not sure if centre-right is a characterisation you can make of ferengi politics in this way.
I usually associate the left/right distinction as an indicator of mainly economic policy. We know that things like unions, worker rights, etc (leftist economic ideals) have never been big on fereginar. I don’t think there’s been that big a shift even with union man Rom at the helm.
I think that attitudes towards social issues like women’s rights are completely orthogonal to economic ones. It’s easy looking at current human political tribalism to group everyone on a left/right binary, but consider that during DS9 Rom, the economic leftist, did not at all like his mother wearing clothes and being open. If anything, the economically right leaning quark was less bothered by it.
those kanji in that order are read as “kawaii”

This clever pricing system is only available on Itch.io, […] It is also on sale on Steam until March 7, but that price doesn’t fluctuate.
I thought steam had some sort of t&c agreement where you had to price all copies of a game the same no matter the store they were on. surely this would violate those rules. or am I misremembering that?
“Key franchises”? And they don’t think WW is a key franchise? Out of all their films from the past few years, the WW ones have been some of the best. If they don’t want to do anything with it, they don’t deserve the IP.
There’s no need to be concerned because they’re never going to build 100,000 new homes, never mind the 1.5M target. Building enough homes to house people would cause supply to meet demand and make the housing market “crash”. And Labour will never upset those who’ve been tricked into thinking that home property is an investment.
In fairness, if you let the average cat out into nature it would be fine. Dump the average libertarian into nature and they wont last the night.
