YouTube brought this all-new duo's EP to me when it had less than 4k views and I can't stop listening. This is French singer Pernelle and Japanese producer Lemm ; they've both done music for games.
I also grabbed Crash Test by Jam2go! I'm a huge fan of the guy. His game Kitten Burst hit me hard in places media rarely does, and his musical style is varied and incredibly pleasant. This is his first time using voice synthesis and he put out a series of MVs for some of these songs, each using different unusual 3D graphics techniques which is his trademark as a creator.
Aside from that, I bought heart of android by Camellia, U S A by Anamanaguchi and 3 by tricot, older albums which I've listened to a lot and wanted to own. Not entirely indie, I think, but worth mentioning!

The algorithm brought this EP to me two days after its release and its view count is too low for my liking. I wanna change that.

When I first started out, I chose to go for an Arch derivative on a recommendation because I didn't like the
aptpackage manager on Ubuntu & co., so I went for Manjaro. Manjaro is Manjaro, so I eventually switched to EndeavourOS.I'm happy with it at the moment but I won't lie, I'm a little bit interested in CachyOS's promises of better performance. If I had to switch, I'd either go for CachyOS, pure Arch or try Fedora. I'm happy so long as KDE is there.

Surely the creatives must be getting a bit tired with the formula at some point?
I for one care little about Souls but I really enjoy Armored Core. I'd rather see them put out an expansion for AC6 over a soulslike, or really, anything else. Someone at the company must want it, right? FromSoft used to make so much weird interesting stuff.

I hang out there a lot and it's a really great place for learning, where the help channels are always going fast and people are nice and helpful. Discord does have the problem of not allowing web indexing but sometimes, you need to ask someone directly about your issue and I find it's a great place to do so.
I'd also be happy to talk and rubber duck for OP!

Spoilers
The manga introduced and covered in one chapter what seems to be the most important moment in the entire story, and they did it so randomly in the middle of a final fight that mostly had no relation to it at all. It's a bit frustrating after how good Part 1's ending was. -

Also, Denji is practically immortal, a bullet is the least of his worries.
Slight spoilers
The Gun Devil isn't all that relevant past a certain point, but you'll have to read Part 1 to the end to find out why. -

These are still just LLMs, as far as I'm aware. They're still just a black box that takes text and produces more text. That's still not intelligence.

Comment on Motorola and GrapheneOS Foundation partnership announced in ~tech
Trobador Link ParentYeah. People are known to value convenience over privacy most of the time, partly because they don't understand the threat, partly because they don't care. I still know people who like data...haha Forgive the lighthearted jab, but are you seriously asking if there's a market for a privacy and security focused OS in the current world of rising authoritarianism, rampant tracking, and dying online anonymity?
Yeah. People are known to value convenience over privacy most of the time, partly because they don't understand the threat, partly because they don't care.
I still know people who like data collection, because they want ads targeted to them.

I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't continue to make consoles after thr Switch 2 ; in fact, considering their history, I have a feeling they would quit the gaming industry once making consoles became unsustainable, even if they could make more money by moving to PC. It'd take a big turn in their leadership's direction before they would decide to give up on their closed ecosystem.

Simple parental supervision is the only logical way to protect children from harm on the Internet but the people advocating for age verification aren't willing to do that...

It's a closed source mod, so you have to fully trust the company making it with your safety, and it collects an uncomfortable amount of data for unwarranted purposes. They also sell paid cosmetics, which I believe is a violation of ToS, even if Mojang hasn't done anything about it.
They also do this weird thing where their website, instead of directing you to Curseforge or Modrinth, first tries to have you download a nebulous .exe installer. That's generally a red flag.
To top it off, on a practical level, the mod is bloated and causes a heap of compatibility issues with other mods. Popularity aside, there's little reason to use it over the many open source alternatives. There are lists of them online, but e2mc is the common one.
