Left SJW due to inconsistent federation policy and not putting up federating / defederating Hexbear up to community vote like others before.

“This series is 1:1 replica of a book” and “this series is only taking a passing inspiration from original books” are merely facts and a starting point to set expectations before moving on to describe and judge an adaptation. It’s okay to judge by comparing original to adaptation but “this is not a faithful adaptation, therefore it is bad” does not help in evaluating quality of derived work.
You’ve read 14 book series multiple times? That’s enormous investment that’s probably setting unrealistic expectations.
I’ve only started the first one to die out of boredom quickly so I can’t imagine repeatedly getting through a slog first few books supposedly are. My girlfriend read everything after the first season and once she was finished she did a re-watch which she enjoyed, in part because it’s different. Second season has higher production value but seems to be confusing with the amount of changes so far. I’m following along because the themes are interesting and there’s nothing so bad that would discourage me.
Even without reading everything it’s fair to assume that this couldn’t be a faithful adaptation. They’ll likely have to merge more story lines, characters, then remove some things entirely and it’ll still be a challenge to fit this into amount of seasons that’s reasonable to produce. The Expanse did plenty of that but it still had roughly a season per book, and that was with a book series that Bezos personally enjoys.
I guess it was up to e-scooter renting companies to come up with some kind of geofencing of reasonable parking but they failed to self-regulate which led to everyone being pissed off about them. If those companies were concerned about the spaces they littered they’d probably be still in business.
It’s a good sign that abusing good faith is punished with such severity.
I agree that it’s more cybersecruity related but given that this incident led to a food product recall there is a bit of a more broad appeal so I think fits this community.
I don’t believe critique of JK Rowling is left wing extremism although book burning as a form of consumer boycott seems to be rather counterproductive.
How about banning public book burning in general? Not a lot of good memories related to that.
Want to keep burning books? Have waste collection services provide a pickup point. Then they can do it in some industrial incinerator so you’ll have your book burned but without providing media with an easy outrage (unless you wanted outrage?).
Book burning seems to be a tool of right wing extremism, even when it’s used against right wing extremists of some other kind, there’s very little benefit to the society.
Also obligatory, fuck organized religion.
You’re already trying too hard but are also not extreme enough to win. Sorry.

There’s a caveat. Most countries will heavily regulate access to limited resources, for example radio frequency bands. SpaceX is occupying defined orbit which means it’s perfectly reasonable to ensure society benefits from this privilege.
If a motorcycle is zooming at Mach 3 in a general vicinity of your house it’s pretty hard to report due to practical issues like getting shoes on, getting to your Mach 4 capable vehicle, locating the offender and catching up with him to get his plates.
I’m disappointed with russia. They could have spun it into a successful drone attack on Ukrainian military moon base, or a military moon kindergarten.
Reality having liberal bias is implied ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Legalization usually implies allowing some degree of commercialization, otherwise you end up with weird middle ground like Netherlands. What Germany is doing isn’t even going as far as Netherlands do, at least for now since there are going to be pilot programs for small scale shops (on top of currently proposed clubs).
US is vastly different from state to state, ranging from cannabis being illegal, through medical use being allowed with varying degrees of ease of prescriptions, all up to full legalization including commercialization.
BBC, Euronews and Deutsche Well are highly factual while having centre-left bias according to mediabiasfactcheck.com which is why I favor using them to post news to Lemmy.
From what I’m reading there are plenty of caveats. It’s much more than decriminalization but definitely can’t be called legalization.
What russia is doing is in response to how badly they do against other currencies, western European ones included.
Were there any credible war crime accusations that were not followed up by Ukrainian officials?
Can you say anything about how widespread those are?
Just a suggestion - it might be worth adding some kind of dupe check:

I watched LTT for Top Gear of computer hardware videos. This commentary from GN made me wonder when was the last time they did one. I couldn’t remember and unsubscribed.
I’d be interested in videos by Alex, Nicholas and maybe few others. Hope they go their own way some day. Alex videos are probably quite expensive to do so he’s probably stuck there :/
I’m not judging someone who read the entire series or those who did it multiple times. People are free to enjoy what they want. Regardless of that, doing 8 months multiplied by even 2-3 times is a considerable chunk of a human lifespan. It explains takes like “I don’t like the adaptation because it made too many changes” and it needs to be put into perspective. I’ve elaborated more on this in my other comment.
