  • I love barbecue

  • White Ninja is a blast from the past! I'm sure I had a bunch of favorites, but this one jumps out at me:

  • Welcome Dan Williams, new LibreOffice Developer focusing on UI/UX 🥳

    Jump

  • When you install LibreOffice now, the set-up guide encourages you gently to use the newer, friendlier tabbed interface. I don't know if the same is true for in-place updates.

  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • Thanks. I really wrote "Castilian" to mean that sources on the web suggest his dialogue is at least somewhat modern Spanish Spanish (so to speak) -- but I'm ignorant of the differences between Spanish spoken in the Americas, including North America as you rightly point out, and the Iberian peninsula. I didn't mean to suggest that Castilian was archaic.

  • Thank you, that's interesting to know!

  • I can't find anything to really support the note about the faun speaking an early version of Spanish; do you have a link I could read/watch?

    I've found people noting that Doug Jones is dubbed by the Spanish voice actor into Castilian (rather than any Central or South American dialect) and that his language is formal and somewhat archaic.

  • What are some alternatives to Google Docs?

    Jump

  • FYI, OnlyOffice is entirely Russian-owned, through a holding company in Singapore and a subsidiary in Latvia. I don't know if money you give CryptPad ends up in Russian hands, but OnlyOffice put a lot of effort into obscuring this.

  • Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud

    Jump

  • As I understand it, if any seller is using Amazon fulfillment centers, the product you're given is picked out of the same box regardless of the named seller. That makes it impossible to buy confidently from Amazon based on the reputation of the seller, and makes Amazon themselves an unreputable seller.

  • Indulge!

  • A quick search suggests that it's specific dioceses in the States (e.g. San Bernardino in CA and Nashville, TN) that have given dispensations in the past few months.

  • ‘Invasive, deceptive, and unlawful’: Texas says your TV is tracking you illegally, and is suing to stop the dreaded Automatic Content Recognition

    Jump

  • For sure, but the onus shouldn't be entirely on the consumer to individually fight invasion of privacy.

  • MTG accuses Trump of ‘directly fuelling’ death threats against her son by calling her traitor

    Jump

  • MTG is anti-abortion, anti-contraceptive, and talks about women being the "weaker sex" and belonging to their husbands. She's rabidly trans-exclusionary but by no measure can she be called a radical feminist.

  • Continued the survival of the species, so now I have to sit in meetings and press buttons all day. Thanks for nothing, protopeople.

  • What is the most controversial TV finale?

    Jump

  • In this thread, mostly: "Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory."

  • Whats the best voice acting in any video game?

  • Yeah, Jeremiah is what Poe was referencing in terms of his narrator character's desperation to recover from the heartache of his own loss, but it was The Raven that I had in mind, not the prophet in Babylon.
