Comment on Louisville grand jury indicts one of three officers in fatal Breonna Taylor police shooting in ~news

On the other hand officers that have done shooting in Washington and Oregon is much more likely to get indicted as their state governments are generally more progressive.

Comment on Microsoft to acquire ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda, id Software, Arkane Studios, and more in ~games

I feel as though that the issue many people have is that we're increasingly seeing several corporations buying out other studios allowing monopolies (which is obviously bad for the industry as a whole). I also hope that Microsoft doesn't kill Bethesda at some point (like Lionhead), because although Bethesda's management practices is certainly questionable many of their franchises have large communities.

Besides that, yeah I kind of agree, if it is good this trailer doesn't do it justice.

That would also fuck over much of the game's modding community, seeing most people never embraced Add-on packs. Minecraft PE (the version that eventually became Bedrock) at one point had a vibrant modding community as well
much of which were directly ported from the PC. -

I did actually get relatively far, despite facing some issues with MySQL. Even though I wanted to host it as a website, IRL issues occurred which caused it to not happen.
Several months later I discovered wikifarms and hosted what I wanted.
In some ways I'm kind of hedging my bets on Libera.chat - at least for FOSS projects. However, I can't Imagine some sort of mass migration taking the majority of users.
