No, but the power to make laws lies in the senate / congress. If they are also in republican hands then together they could possibly change the laws to enact a dictatorship.

From the OP’s comment history it looks like they are from Sweden.

That’s slowly changing though, as the enschittification of windows continues. They may not care to know about the details, but all of those points do fall under the “it just works” catagory. And they do care about that.

I believe so. Tbh it feels a little like the NASA version of “look at this cool rock I found!”

The point is that we were able to detect the planet at all. That’s interesting enough in itself, and at no point is the article insinuating anything spectacular about the planet itself.

You should, it’s amazing for gaming. Especially steam, everything just works.

Also a great idea, I didn’t know that.

Obsidian is awesome, and obsidian publish costs money but it’s very easy to use.

Meh, close enough.

Are you physically active? If no, then I’d suggest taking up a sport. Whether alone or with others, physical activity is extremely important, and it can be a rewarding hobby.

If that’s already covered, then I’d ask: would you prefer to have a hobby that you do alone, or with a group?

For group hobbies, you can browse meetup.com, that’s how I found my table-top RPG group, and we’ve been having loads of fun together for…about 15 years now.

(TTRPGs are my favorite, pathfinder 2e is the best ever)

For alone hobbies, I’d say the most important aspect is stay away from the screen. Music is a common one, or another type of art. Painting can be extremely rewarding, even if you have no talent.

I like to do MOC lego projects. (basically, use legos to make your own creations) I build mecha out of lego technic and bionicle/star wars parts.

I’ve been meaning to try this out. As a big fan of the neverwinter nights community, and someone who played rhe original WAY to much, it’s just to tantalizing.

Edit: I mean the original Morrowind.

I agree with you. I just felt it necessary to inform those that read comments and not the article itself. Especially because (here’s my opinion) I feel that if you don’t pay for a product, then you ARE the product. Even if Kagi isn’t perfect, the payment model should be supported to foster this kind of internet.

I read the article, and nothing in there seems to be a valid criticism of Kagi as a search engine. It’s all about the founder not understood GDPR, or how Kagi wasted money on free t-shirts, or the writers personal opinion on AI.

This is largely an opinion piece. It has merit as such, but please don’t take this article as factual journalism.

Pcloud, NordVPN, Tidal, reMarkable sync

I’d use Obsidian Sync too if I used Obsidian across devices. I just back my vaults up in the cloud.

It’s also why I love it here. Actual discourse without (much) shouting mindlessly at each other.

This is going to be a departure from the rest of this thread.

I saw Emmanuelle when I was 10 or so, and man did that movie change me. Some scenes still pop into my head, clear as when I first saw them.

I’m talking about AI. However, the statement I made wasn’t very well informed. Others have shared with me how the printing press did indeed give rise to fears about piracy, and create entirely new discussions & problems related to intellectual property.

Thanks for sharing, those are indeed sources that I’ve never encountered before.

From what I understood, the fears surrounding the printing press (as well as other advancements throughout history related to information, text, & writing) were more about people being overloaded with information both false and/or true, or people becoming less studious/disciplined.

You will need to learn at least a little German. There are definitely prospects though, the country is trying to attract more immigrants.
