No, I hate DST. Getting up an hour earlier sucks. I also prefer the darker season in general because I feel like I sleep better.

The Silmarillion is one of my favourite books, but I totally get this. Unless you’re really into Tolkien’s world as well as this style of book it’s not a fun read.

I guess the level of scariness is subjective, at least from what I’ve read not everyone seems to agree that it’s very mild :P But I’ll definitely play it eventually, the base game is one of the best games I’ve ever played.

My backlog and my library are huge so I’ll choose a few (in no particular order):

• Baldur’s Gate 3
• Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
• Inscryption
• Hades
• Hollow Knight
• Outer Wilds DLC (I’ve been putting it off because it’s supposedly scary)
• Stray
• Little Kitty, Big City
• Monster Train
• Moonstone Island

I’ve never used Twitter a lot and I’ve mostly stopped using it, but Mastodon is just not a viable alternative for most people. I used Twitter to keep up with things. I made a Mastodon account like two years ago, but almost none of the people or organisations I care about are on there. And most of the ones that are on it aren’t posting. So I’m basically never using it. The same is true for Bluesky. Threads may be better but I’d rather avoid anything from Facebook.

Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

Note that MAUI doesn’t officially support Linux.

But there are third party alternatives like Uno Platform or Avalonia UI that do.

I haven’t used Python since around the time when type hints first became a thing so I might be completely wrong here, but isn’t this because Python just generally ignores type hints? If you ran a static type checker like mypy over this it would complain right?

Also, if you actually did anything with the list that you couldn’t do with a bool (e.g. len(value)), it would throw an error too because Python is actually pretty strict about types, just only at runtime. That’s why it’s usually considered to be strongly typed, although people don’t seem to agree what exactly that’s supposed to mean.

Isn’t Python already strongly typed?

Obligatory individuals don’t evolve, populations do.

I know it’s just a silly meme but misconceptions about evolution unfortunately seem to be pretty widespread.

I’ve found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn’t work well is one you play a lot. For me it’s Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn’t with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.

I rarely check people’s bookshelves but my experience has also been that people either don’t even know what it’s really about or they absolutely love it.

But I guess it’s possible that some people buy it after reading LotR expecting more of the same and then give up after reading the first few pages of the Ainulindalë.

For a few seconds I was extremely confused why one would need a tool like this for the game Celeste.

Slay the Spire is a great game that works well on mobile and has no microtransactions. I’ve played it for 400 hours (on PC) and I’m still not tired of it.

Edge also uses Chromium. If you want to avoid that then Firefox (including derivatives like LibreWolf, Waterfox or SeaMonkey) and Safari are pretty much your only options.

Raddle is not federated as far as I know. It seems to be using Postmill which uses the permissive zlib License.

In addition to sustainability concerns others have mentioned, capitalism is also inherently unjust. You earn money by having money and many of those who work the hardest are also the poorest.

Mlem supports this on iOS. Voyager does as well, it’s a progressive web app, so it works almost everywhere.

First off, I’m not the arbiter of what does and doesn’t belong to a certain genre. That’s, to a certain extent, subjective and people don’t always agree. However, there usually is at least some consensus in the community, otherwise the genre names would be useless.

That said, I personally wouldn’t call this melodic death metal either. Most of the song is just clean singing and clean guitars, both of which are sometimes used in melodeath, but they’re not a defining aspect of it. And even the parts with harsh vocals and distorted guitars are missing the riffs that are typical for the genre. It’s closer to a progressive death metal or groove metal sound similar to Gojira or Opeth.

Overall Jinjer are also definitely not a melodeath band, they’re metalcore, which is often seen as a subgenre of hardcore, not metal, although there are bands that are more on the metal side.

As I said, I’m not the genre police, this is just my opinion. But I think (sub)genre definitions are useful when talking about music and if we start using them too loosely, they lose their meaning and as a result, their utility.

This is a cool song but it has nothing to do with melodic death metal. That would be bands like (old) In Flames, At the Gates, Amon Amarth or Dark Tranquillity.
