Old Town Prague is one of the most beautiful city areas in the world. It must cost a fortune to keep that place constantly clean and free of graffiti, but it’s money well spent.

Everquest II was released in 2004. It is pretty crazy that they are still releasing expansions for it. And it’s kinda crazy that I played it for at least a hundred hours earlier this year during a nostalgia binge.
Everquest was released in 1999
Laws need to be enforced, not just created. The article seems to imply that it’s up to individual exploited workers to file official complaints, but many of the exploited workers are illegal aliens or feel way to vulnerable to ‘rock the boat’. Essentially, government should enforce these laws, and be functional. Expecting super poor people living in fear to suddenly fight back one at a time, or expecting them to even find out about new laws that get passed, is very unrealistic.
Indeed. This article is nonsense. Germany should declare the climate crises an emergency. And if they don’t like the debt limit rule they passed a few years ago, they can change it. Calling it a ‘budget crisis’ is overblown. It seems that the main problem is that their political parties are currently not working together well. That is not exactly some existential problem at this point. The German economy is way too large to consider a 60 billion euro problem a ‘crisis’.
It’s mostly a solo game. You explore, build bases, buy and upgrade ships and tools/weapons, and other assorted stuff. More than anything else, it’s a cool random planet generator, so you travel around checking out planets until eventually that gets boring, which might happen soon, of after a couple hundred hours.
And Apple customers were doing this a decade or more ago. They bought into an entire ecosystem, and became APPLE_PEOPLE, for better or worse. And the companies that sell stuff on e.g. itunes are the rent-paying serfs, paying Apple to be vassals and do business. The people with Apple products are maybe a bit more like farm animals…they just get fleeced over and over. They don’t have much input into anything, unless they make a serious break and quit using Apple stuff.
I’ll check out revolt.chat. Thanks for the suggestion!
Well, this seems like powerful motivation for me to eventually find a free open source positive alternative to Discord, while ignoring Discord in the meantime. I would love to bypass their enshittification phase entirely.
Most people really take for granted that their meal is going to obey the normal laws of space and time. Then, when something like this occurs, it’s quite a shock.
Great song. Powerful strategic use of dropping the f-bomb, and just an emotionally powerful song overall. It didn’t dramatically change the world, but it got plenty of airplay and it made it’s point.
