What does “most of the world isn’t voting at all” mean?
That’s what I meant about Kotaku’s misrepresentation. Read the paragraph you didn’t quote, and they are saying they believe the guy was using multiple accounts. That’s what they mean by “these identities”, which news which isn’t a glorified gossip rag have been pretty clear on.
They are targeting exactly one person that they are in litigation with. I am shocked that Kotaku would misrepresent something in the lede and then contradict themselves later.
However, because Williams allegedly evaded Nintendo’s attempt to serve him, and then didn’t appear in court, Nintendo argues in its filing that this meant they were unable to find these identities through discovery, and as such is seeking the subpoenas. The company, currently worth $67 billion, says these will be “limited in scope,” designed to identify “the account holders and the sources of any payments made, and where applicable, aggregate traffic and access statistics for Pirate Shops’ websites and related online locations.”
TL;DR: Stop trying to make money from piracy. Dolphin is alive and well after 20 years of emulating Nintendo products. Not sure how people aren’t connecting the dots with what Nintendo chase and what they don’t.
Does it have to be specifically FOSS characters? You could have a huge roster with public domain characters (too).
I’m using the plural. Kathoey is both singular and plural in Thai. I would hope you’d also pick that up from “women”.
I’m also being careful not to equate 1-1 the kathoey identity with the transwoman identity. They aren’t the same, though the global conversation I am sure will eventually bring them closer.
Kathoey are definitely not androgynous. They are explicitly living as women would, and present very feminine as shown. To varying degrees of success in passing, but it isn’t an issue. Nobody tells them they can’t be kathoey. They just are.
There is a lesser known opposite, Tom. As in, Tomboy. These are afab who essentially live as men. Less so than kathoey, I will say, presumably because society isn’t as ready for afab to play male roles. But they will wear short hair, dress masculine, and usually have relationships with with cis-women, known as "Dee (for “good (girl)” 🫤). When was there more than a decade ago at the start of social media really taking off, there was a high-society generational trend of cis-girls dating tomboys in their late teens, as a way to be safe from pregnancy/abuse while still being the cool girl who dates on Insta. You imagine this to be pretty sad at times for Toms who get abandoned as soon as said ciswomen are more stable in life.
Are you using Google’s DNS?
The impossible part is that it isn’t publicly available. It’s not an open model.
Is Midjourney available for use locally now? Or have you misunderstood Midjourney taking 30 seconds to generate from their server as happening locally?
I did read it. Having lived in Malaysia, it looked like every interaction with orang asli tribes. How does “forcibly contacted” not contradict “uncontacted”? Are we doing “contacted status identity” now?
I’d love to understand the definition of “uncontacted” that includes them posing for photos and protesting in front of bulldozers
My friend, Zeus cheating on Hera has been a recognisable reference for 3000 years
That assumes that everyone who answered this poll bothered to vote
My friend you should watch the Little Mermaid
This is, of course, Ameri-centric horseshit. American voting is reported on as white, black, Latino and not-statisitcally-significant. Meanwhile they’ll call other countries “ethnically homogenous” mostly because they don’t know anything about any other countries or literally thousands of years of finding any reason to hate each other. Motherfucker I don’t care if we’re genetically identical I’ll be dead and buried before I vote for a fucking Walloon/Protestant/Catholic/Silesian/Scouser/Galician/Lombard/Frisian (delete as appropriate). They haven’t at any point all been thrown into a cage, deprived of their heritage and told “nah you’re just black/mexican now”. And it ignores that yes, global migration is global. Every colonial state has left people behind in its former colonies, and found themselves with former subjects as citizens too.
No source code and no federation just makes this a worse app with less liability for bad actions. Not sure why he’s pushing this before those are ready. Pixelfed itself isn’t exactly finished yet.
That’s that me. But the company I work for is big enough that if they’re fucked, it looks worse on my bosses for only having one of me and no plan. So fuck that, off I go. I told them how badly things could go if someone grabbed my laptop, so that stays very safely behind too.
Yeah, no Tim, nobody’s ever sung a song about getting to Cupertino
Hey Militant Left, just because every question directed at you assumes you are an asshole, doesn’t mean the same applies to questions to other people
The infobox from Wikipedia is the source for all but the Irish elections and American elections, neither of which are finished counting (although Ireland’s was only this weekend…). It really isn’t that much work to type “election turnout (country)” into Google and click the first result. I’m not writing a dissertation, so I’m afraid that will have to do you.
“Couldn’t be bothered” is an extreme oversimplification of the matter, but regardless, most people are voting, and when higher than usual numbers do vote - as in America - it hasn’t meant defeat for the right wing.
