Hi, I work in the map industry. We generally don't get to decide what names to use for features. We apply what the local official name is (to simplify). That's why if you're in country A, feature X might be named something different than if you're in country B. You can imagine this would (and has) caused many conflicts around the world if we didn't display the local official name. (Switch your region via VPN and you can see this in action)

If Google renamed it to Gulf of America, no Google didn't, not really ... They just inserted the new official name for that feature according to GNIS.

While I've moved to arr stack and usenet these days, I've literally never had an issue with TPB

My 7 year old is always telling her friends that she watches such-and-such show on Jellyfin. 😅

That's not how addiction works.

I didn't realize it was literally a switch, I thought it had something to do with the architecture of the OS and anticheat programs weren't compatible.

That's not been my experience, even with a native version.

How will the anticheat work? Most games work decently well on proton, but the anticheat is what really breaks these games on linux.

Proton usually works better than native linux lol

I tend to agree. I simply don't like the short form content. I never did. When twitter launched, I didn't understand it, and I still don't. It doesn't facilitate conversation whatsoever. It's just shitposting and one-liners and toxicity. We really lost something special when we moved from forums to shorter and shorter content platforms.

"Better" means extracting as much data and value from users as possible to appease the Capitalist machine. What users want or need is irrelevant.

bsky is just another VC-funded corpo platform. The initial wave of Libs who moved over gave it some gas, but ultimately, it's just another toxic, bland platform like all the others.

I previously has a subscription last year (just one provider) and had sooo many incompletes. It was barely usable.

I recently set it all up properly and I haven't had a single issue, even finding old movies with no issue. I have a provider, an indexer, and a cheap block account on a different backbone to fill the gaps. It works like absolute butter.

Sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, SAB and all that ... do it right and it's amazing.

Ubisoft's first North American union, located at their Halifax, Nova Scotia studio, was certified on December 18th, 2025. Now, not even a full 30 days later, Ubisoft Halifax is closing.

Having played Alwa's Legacy first, I did not expect this ending! Great game, although I like the sequel better ☺️
