I can’t imagine making that trip in the late summer in the boreal on foot. Very sad regardless

It’s used heavily in Elden ring and was my exposure to the word

Nope. I’m a new convert and I love it. Laptop monitor to the left of the big landscape for random screens. It’s fantastic

In the US the library of Congress has a video game preservation effort

Library of Congress staff discussed its video game collection, the process of making a preservation copy of the data for long-term storage, the unique description challenges for video games and possible access solutions.

The q&a is super interesting, strongly recommend reading past the headline here

But are they worse than Microsoft’s?

Ehhh I think the downplays the essay’s excellent arfument

FTA:

THIS DISTINCTION between a “housing crisis” and a rental market that enables exploitation has practical implications. How we talk about these issues shapes what we conceive as possible and desirable responses to them.

It has m/m and y/y

superb

I’m in the migration path for sandhills and so I’m only used seeing them in farmer fields and super twitchy (due to hunting season). It’s so wild to see them in the South in people’s front yards!

I don’t understand what this provides. They already make it so you don’t have to give out credit card info. Is it just to avoid bank fees in some way? Avoid banking regulation?

To further this point, here you can find the Env Canada long range probabilistic forecasts which are actually based on science and observations :q

More likely above average

I’ve always wanted this but didn’t realize it was coming out!

Also whooping cranes. I’ve had them twice fly over head and they come in so fast compared to the other migrating birds – snow geese and cranes – it’s incredible. Seeing them far off, and you just “know”. Grab the camera and hope they fly over. They’re also a spectacular “good news” story of conservation.

I also watched a great grey owl hunt for voles for an hour, totally oblivious to us just sitting there. First time over ever wished for a shorter lens!

I think it’s trying to say that the gasoline cars have no fuel in them when transported (thus less fire risk) versus the batteries which can still burn when “empty” (which I doubt they are)

At least the front didn’t fall off

Introduced by US representatives Warren Davidson and Sara Jacobs, the amendment, first reported by WIRED, would prohibit US military agencies from “purchasing data that would otherwise require a warrant, court order, or subpoena” to obtain. The ban would cover more than half of the US intelligence community, including the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the newly formed National Space Intelligence Center, among others.

I guess I’m not surprised, but I didn’t realize they had warrantless access to these data. With the attacks on e2e in the UK this really drives home how important encryption.

I have, just many moons ago. I’ll take another read. Very pertinent

I don’t get it. It’s so strange.

Which book is this from?
