To me, that hesitation seemed more like a pause at the end of a paragraph, and the second salute, if it was so, less confident than the first (esspecially given that he bent his arm the second time). I’m not confident it wasn’t an intentional Nazi salute, but I’m also not confident it was, which is why I err on the side of caution. I believe we should assume innocence unless guilt can be proven.

That said, this is why I felt the need to include the second paragraph. We shouldn’t be focused on the time Elon did something wrong with plausible deniability nor should we be particularly concerned that others aren’t more upset. Our focus should instead be on the fact that he has made numerous statements and taken actions that support racism, sexism, classism, misinformation and conspiracy theories, ect. and supported others who represent these values. Our fury should be at the people who ignored these far more direct and unambiguous statements, and have continued to ignore them for over a decade.

Honestly, I’m not entirely convinced it was a Nazi salute. I think, given how stupid and akward he is, and the fact that the salute was so off-angle, it could have actually been an akward “my heart goes out to you” gesture.

That said, focusing on this possible red flag is stupid and honestly makes light of the situation, when looking at Elon Musk’s history and past statements is like standing in the Red Square on parade day. The bigger and more undeniable red flags are all throughout his past, and continued after the salute, such as his refusal to apologize. I guess its good that people are finally putting their foot down, but the appropriate time was a decade ago at least.

IANAL but from my understanding, colour of the UI can’t be copyrighted, but the design of the UI as a whole can be. Colour can be a significant factor of the design, but its rarely going to be enough to have enforcable copyright on alone.

Trademark can cover a specific colour, but thats more limitted, generally, and likely wouldn’t cover the colour of a game UI unless its a definining part of the appearance of the game.

Lemmy is generally very downvote-happy compared to Reddit or other sites. I’d guess its be because of the cinical, pessimistic attitude of a lot of the people here. Unfortunately, its something you’ll have to get used to here. On the bright side, this applies to everyone, so you’re not being targetted or anything and the same anchor will apply to everyone.

I mean, the information was published. People could have shared it more if they cared. Most users don’t. Just look at the backlash he got for comparing ad block’s impact to that of piracy. I still see people citing that as a reason not to trust LMG. If people are that offended by being asked to consider the effects they have on creator income, you really think they’d react well to being told their discounts are hurting creators. They’re already seen as whiney, pro-corporate shills. They’re not going to go out of their way to shout from the rooftops criticism for a company that helps consumers (or was thought to at the time).

Edit: to be clear, I’m not a fan of LTT, but if you’re going to criticize them, do it for their bias, factual errors, personality, ect. Not because they didn’t go far enough to discourage using coupon codes.

“We’re not blocking competition, we’re just making sure no one else can get any money.”

My point isn’t that a black hole is unique or anything else of the sort. Heavy objects try to suck in lighter objects around them. The reason I was saying I would only sometimes describe it as being “sucked in” was because that suggests being significantly pulled towards the object, whereas if it is a fairly stable orbit or the object’s trajectory being slightly bent, I wouldn’t describe it as such (black hole or otherwise). Even with a gas giant, It wouldn’t feel wrong to say it sucks in nearby debris.

More just that Bethesda is the biggest maker of Triple A RPGs and they’re finally updating the creation engine in a significant way. That said, to my knowledge, its still one of the more technically advanced RPGs (even if it doesn’t do much with that tech) and could hopefully at least work as a proof of concept to more ambitious developers.

I made the mistake of going against the circlejerk and saying Starfield was relatively advanced tech by RPG standards. I was called toxic for even daring to suggest it was trying to innovate.

In the case of the earth, no, I would say its an orbit. But if the path wasn’t circular and instead was describing the sun pulling somthing away from its existing trajectory significantly, then yes, I might describe it as the sun sucking it in. Obviously doubly so if it actually is destroyed by the sun.

Would you say a star sucks in stuff around it? Or a planet? Or moon?

For a star, I absolutely would. For a planet or moon, it depends on the context.

You can’t rebundle items, but between random drops, events, and market/trading activity theres a lot of ways to aquire a skin. So for example, maybe someone traded for a skin, and as part of the deal, the other person bought them a voice line. Alternatively, it could be something as simple as someone buying a skin, not using it, and reselling it later.

I think I’d keep a lot of the core stuff, esspecially at lower levels, but at mid levels, I’d try and put a lot less emphasis on academic work, and more on practical implementation of those skills. For example, in place of a study of shakesphere, I might put a lesson on how ads are written. The point would still be to encourage better media literacy, but ads are something we see constantly in the modern world, and require an emphasis on critical thinking most literature analysis ignores. Another example might be a reduction in the amount of math classes, but requiring a skill that uses math practically, such as woodworking or 3D modeling, to try and practice logic and problem solving off-the-page.

Ideally, this would help cover a lot more real-world skills, and give students a chance to try a broader range of fields earlier, as well and encouraging a deeper and more applicable understanding of the underlying skills meant to be taught.

Buses that actually show up at the stop.

A bench would be nice too, but thats probably asking way too much.

The obvious answer is the other two casual classics: Space Cadet Pinball and Minesweeper. Possibly also some of the classic board games like Chess, or Go.

Thats definately a good one. Might be worth posting it. I have a couple more myself, but I’m trying to space them out to make sure it doesn’t feel like I’m advertising.

A “profit all the things” CEO would be running the casino themselves. IE: Many of the big mobile games. Hell, I don’t play many modern triple-A titles, but it sounds like they’ve largely gone that route too.

The only potential reason I can see is that it could be strategicly useful as climate change makes the weather there more mild. Given that this is Trump, however, and Denmark (and thus Greenland) is currently an ally, it would make more sense that he read it Twitter or something and he repeated it.

Trump said he’d take control of Panama and Greenland potentially including a military invasion, and said he’d buy Canada.

Thats the short, out-of-the-loop, reason you’re hearing about it.

I think it would have the be the rarest legit one.

Technically you can get tank kills on bluewater ships, but that requires custom games to ever get so I probably wouldn’t count it.

Edit: High-calibre TD kills might also be comparibly rare nowadays - things like the Bkan than can’t aim upwards. It used to be suprisingly easy to kill planes with them, but since the HE changes years ago, they’re pure RNG.

AI content is low-quality slop. That said, sometimes low-quality slop is the best option for what you want, and in that case, it can make sense to use. That slop can also make a useful ingredient for other, better works, so long as its just a small peice used appropriately.
