Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It’s awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.

This feels like OG 4chan or Reddit, and I’m all for it. Great ducks, people!

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

My country is the opposite. It’s pretty much impossible to travel 150km and accumulate more than 8500 height meters. (highest point is 170 meters, and it’s a loooong walk to get there).

Everything by LeGuin is fantastic. The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Fisherman of the Inland Sea. So many beautiful worlds and stories.

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

Mandated is the wrong word. “Required for absolutely everything” is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called “MitID” to do any kind of digital verification. You can’t do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.

I would love to make the switch, but I am certain that absolutely zero of my government mandated apps will run on this thing.

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

I can’t wait for the bubble to burst, so we can finally get affordable GPU’s again

Don’t give them any ideas. So many universes ended this way.

Sounds like a collective depression to me

Such a wild record. Great pick!

Great game!

Best value for money if you like deckbuilders and rogue likes. Fantastic game. The second one is coming out next year!
