Six hundred thousand? Jesus, that’s like 10% of the whole population

Or you could do one better and come to romania to see some of these busses (especially the 70s-80s Saviems) still in service lol.

In increasing order of casualness I recommend: Elite Dangerous->X3/X4->Everspace/Everspace 2-> No Man’s Sky.

Everspace 2 is a spiritual successor to Freelancer, so probably your best bet ( Everspace 1 is more roguelike, but holds up nicely ). Speaking of Freelancer, I hear the game is still alive and has a vibrant community around it.

If you ever want to revisit Elite shoot me a message, I may help you with starting up. They say Elite doesn’t have a learning curve but a cliff, so help is usually needed. Luckily the game has the most welcoming and helpful community I’ve seen in/around a video game.

Other than these, there’s Chorus, but I haven’t played that one and it seems more story driven than open-ended.

For those unaware, there is also Heroes of Science and Fiction, which is essentially homm 3 with a fresh scifi coat of paint and lots of qol stuff. It’s in early access but man it catches the vibe so well.

Thanks, I needed that

The irony, I swear

Edit: To add, we’ve had a similar situation with the romanian diaspora in europe voting mostly for the anti-eu candidate during the presidentials. The mind boggles.

Users who have already updated their phones to Android 16 can even tap into some system-level protection with the new “Network notifications” option

Wanna bet that feature will soon be cut by google? For your safety of course.

I imagined the law would be enforced by a deal with google and some global android state approved keylogger/backdoor completely bypassing all apps including Signal. But yeah, I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around this.

I don’t understand how this “threat” is supposed to work. If the law passes won’t any and all chat encryption be affected? In that case it doesn’t matter how you get the app, or if you manage to get it in europe. Its encryption will be broken/unavailable.

It’s not that bad. I have an older nxpaper phone and really loved the screen. It is indeed a glorified matte protector, but it felt really easy to read on. It also has a “low blue light” mode, a black and white mode and low brightness. I was longing for an 8incher with that screen and honestly would’ve gotten this if I hadn’t already bought an android e-ink device.

Seeing the series’ progression so far, I just know microsoft will stuff it full of FOMO crap and monetization, as well as a lot of AI generated stuff ( which, admittedly, may not be all bad ). But still, I’m pretty excited for it.

Time to play Anno 2205

I loved him in mafia, he had such a recognizable voice. Almost bought Mindseye because of him lol.

But seriously, I wish him luck and hope he doesn’t give up on games.

What he means is that while his memes are in general universally applicable, this one is a US-thing.

I feel like this man has some mighty nasty skeletons in his closet if he was openly advocating for “rules for thee but not for me”

You bet they will. Right now its impractical, because a lot of people of it, but after laws like chat control pass it’ll be easier to make encryption illegal altogether because a lot fewer people will go through the hurdles. Only criminals and deviants will use encryption. And you’re no deviant, are you citizen?

Ah yes. I remember daimler boldly claiming in 2009 or so that by 2015 all their lineup would be electric. To see them instead become whiny subsidy bitches is just sad.

Where I’m from the miner syndicates were repeatedly used by the communists to quell protests in the early nineties. Left leaning or not, they were another tool of opression in the authoritarians’ arsenal, much like the military/NG in the OP.

I think that sadly you still have to go to nvidia for low power gpus. Amd have gotten better, but they don’t sip ower quite as good. On the other hand, if you"re running a 4k/144 setup, neither card will truly be idling and the differences might be insignificant, so a 9070 could do.

Also found this thread on ltt forums with some numbers.

Based on this ( admittedly anecdotal evidence ) the 5070 would be low-power king.

Not sure what this is meant to accomplish, as I doubt its actual mission is “a show of support”. In fact, there is a risk the visit might inflame anti-EU sentiment, much like the public talk between Macron and Romania’s Dan inflamed all the russian trolls before presidentials. On the other hand you shouldn’t avoid doing something in good faith just because the russian trolls might complain, as they’d just find something else to shout about.
