Yeah, that’d mean you need some type of source accessible license. Not sure which specific one tho, you’ll have to look deeper into it’

NYes, I can go into more details! In the early manga, Yugi solves the puzzle in chapter 1 and transforms into Yami Yugi after both him and Joey (Jono-Uchi in the manga) are threatened by a guy who was at first pretending to be defending Yugi against Joey who was bullying him but then immediately demanded money from him. Yami Yugi challenges him to a game where they put the stack of money on their own hands and start picking bills with a knife (they must each take at least one per turn but lose if they stab their hands). When the other guys tries to cheat by stabbing Yugi, he uses tge power of the ouzzle to drive him insane as a punishment.

The rest is along these lines for a long time, a new villain and a new game every two chaoter. Sometimes they’re plugging actual games, I think some chaoters might be sponsored, lie the tamagochi one.

But interestingly, the first one with the card games isn’t. I think it’s strongly implied to be a reference to Magic: The Gathering (hence why they say it’s from the US, for example). But since they didn’t use the actual name or monsters and didn’t get into details of the rules, there was potential for monetization, which was realized a but later.

Kaiba is already the villain of the first chapters featuring the card game, but the first episodes of the anime are really a mix of the two first Kaiba encounters, which are many chapters apart (and the card game doesn’t come back until Kaiba does).

In the first encounter, Kaiba doesn’t have the Blue Eyed White Dragon, he steals it from Yugi who borrowed it from his Grandpa and Yami Yugi defeats him. We have the first idea of “the soul of cards” whith the BEWD refusing to fight for Kaiba. But we’re not really told that cards have an inherent soul because they’re from a sacred game, that’s all invented later. It’s more that this card was given to Yugi’s grampa by a precious friend and he treasures it because of it; and objects that are precious to someone become imbued with their soul.

Second encounter is after Kaiba beat Yugi’s grandpa and ripped his dragon. Yugi and friends actually have to climb a tower full of deadly games and traps to get to him, and then it’s the first duel from the anime.

Extra elements that are explained by this is that the inspirations for the hollograms Kaiba created is the traumatizing hallucinations Yami Yugi made him experience during his first duel. The reason why Yugi’s grandpa was unwell and in danger after the duel is that Kaiba, immitating Yami Yugi, subjected him to holograms of monsters attacking him after defeating him, which gave him a heart attack.

Shahdi and Bakura both appear a bit before the manga shifts completely to card games, hence why Bakura’s introduction in the anime was pretty rushed. In the manga, the first game he plays is a ttrpg.

You’re on the open-source community, of course we’ll be biased in favour of open source. One thing to point out is that open-source and closed source are both pretty broad categories that cover several licenses. Source available means people can see the code, but there are restrictions to how they can use it. Is there a specific thing you don’t want people to do with your code? Do you not want them to edit it for example? Or you’re fine with them editing it, but not for commercial purpose ? Any restriction of this type will make it source-available. If you’re fine with them doing anything, it’s open source. If you want them to mention somewhere that their code is based on yours, it’s still open source. And if you want any code made by editing yours to also be open source, that’s still open source (that’s the idea of the GPL). But other restrictions might make it not fit that category.

I personally usually default to the GPL3, I’m fine with people doing anything with my code except making it non-open source. Well “my code”… It might be a bit presumptious of me, I’m not really a programmer, I’ve just made a few small and not very useful things. There may be legitimate reasons for not wanting your code to be open source sometimes, but for me the stakes have always been low.

As for whether using Github creates an expectation for Open-Source… Not so much at this point. It’s very used by the Open-Source community, but not only. Plus, it’s not really open-source itself, so the most purist prefer other git platforms like git-lab, forgejo or source-hut.

The Light is what is being perceived in that example. The point of mentioning that the retina is inside the eye is that it means light must be inside the eye too when it hits it.

tell me how you’re not actually in contact with something.

Not what’s being argued here.

True

True, but the pressure wave is what is being perceived when hearing, light is what is being perceived when seeing, I never said what was being perceived had to be matter. In the case of touch, some molecules may enter the skin, but that is not the cause of the sensation. Even if you imagine an perfectly hard, smooth and clean surface that sheds no molecule, you should still be able to feel of you touch it.

However, I thought about it after making this post, but there also is a small amount of kinetic energy entering you when you touch something, and that may be what triggers your nerve… So I guess even in the case of touch, it remains true that you can only perceive something that’s inside of you.

The nerves were already inside tho, they didn’t enter.

The Mysterious Golden Cities ! At least the first season, I’m not too sure about the directions it took after that, when it became 3D animated… Then, Ewilan’s Quest ! I don’t think there’s an official translation or a legal way to watch it outside of France for now, but if you put it at the end of your list there might be one by the time you get to it.

BiglyBT is a furry femboy with a huge ass, I suppose.

If we exclude Musk, no, it’s not worse than Instagram. Musk is a pretty big deal tho. Now, the Zucc is pretty evil too, so anyway I’d say Instagram and Facebook are fair contenders for worst platform.

Personally I deleted Twitter as soon as the purchase by Elongated Muskrat was confirmed. I deleted Facebook and Instagram more recently (I hesitated longer because I was using it more to communicate with irl acquaintances). I still use WhatsApp, until I can get some people I need to keep in contact with to start using Signal or Telegram (I know I’m not gonna get them on Matrix or xmpp, not worth trying), but it’s also owned by the Zucc so it bothers me to keep using it.

Fun fact: Finnish and Estonian are both Finnic languages. Meanwhile, the other Nordic countries mostly speak Scandinavian languages an the other Baltic countries speak Baltic languages, which are part of the broader Balto-Slavic group. So really, from a linguistic perspective at least, Finns and Estonians are more similar to each-other than to any of their neighbors. And also pretty similar to Hungary (Magyar being a Finno-Ugric language).

I would definetely not call France Insoumise tankies. Their platform is basically what the Socialist Party’s platform was in the 80s, they pretty much only have a niche to occupy only because the socialists moved so far to the right. That being said, they do have the benefit of being vocal on anti-racist and anti-colonial policies.

I wish they were actual tankies. In France. The French Communist Party has some Marxist-Leninist memberd, but they are not the majority of the party right now. For a while, the PCF was in an Alliance with the Parti de Gauche (the precursor to France Insoumise), and only took parts in elections as part of this alliance. But Mélenchon, who used to rule Parti de Gauche and now rules France Insoumise, stopped making concessions to the Communist Parti (such as supporting their candidates in the few Communist Parti strongholds left in France), which was seen as a betrayal, and so the Communist parti elected as its leader Fabien Roussel, who is less favorable to alliances with FI unless there are other parties in it as well to avoid the PCF getting fully absorbed as a satellite of FI.

The problem is that despite the core of the PCF’s program being further left than FI’s program, the rethoric used by Roussel, the pojects he puts forwards and the ones he chooses to ally with are increasingly further right wing than FI. With FI being new and having more momentum, they’re the ones often demonized by the center and Roussel’s strategy is to make the PCF appear less scary than them. He is cultivating an older and whiter electorate that can be nostalgic of the time when the PCF was strong and scared of the new and strange FI. I would’ve liked the PCF to instead go further left than FI. But unfortunately, its move right is kind of in the continuation of the de-stalinisation that happened after the fall of tbe USSR. It’s a party with a rich history, more of an internal democracy than FI and deep ties with unions and other organizations, but the way it’s headed, it can’t go very far.

Then you have Force Ouvrière, a Trotskyite party. Problem with them is they kinda have their butt between two chairs. They take part in elections just to get known, while claiming the true change must come from a revolution… But aside from selling newspapers, they’re not doing much organizing. They’re neither really giving themselves the mean to act either in the political world or in the streets. They’re not in favor of seeking improvements through unions or electoral politics because they think small improvements will stop people from wanting to revolt.

This description fits most of the small leftist groups in France, but despite their similarities, their attachement to ideological purity keeps them from banding together

Also greatly improving

No, that’s fake news. What he said — he said you hear me ? He said he was gonna lower the price of eggs. And he did, it’s tremendous, the eggs… They’re cheaper than ever before. And they’re huge, huge eggs you wouldn’t believe it. I saw an egg… hear me, an egg that was so big it made Xi Jinpin afraid. Bigger than Greenland, and it was a cheap egg, a proud American egg. But now people don’t want cheap eggs, they want cheap gaz. Because that’s what woke Biden told em to want. /s

For anyone confused, this is a reference to Crank mah Hog, the biblical city and its king from the Apocalypse to which George Bush Jr was referring when he tried to get the French president Jacques Chirac to join the Second Gulf War.

Among the classics from the 60s, I’d also add Thelonious Monk, Arts Bakey, then the Headhunters, and Sun Ra’s Arkestrs. That’s a period with a lot of diversification (free jazz, bebop, funk jazz, Afrofuturism…). Earth Wind and Fire is also funk jazz.

There also Tito Puente from Puerto Rico, which leads me to transition to the caribbeans. Outside of the US, you have of course Compay Secundo and the Buena Vista Social Club, and also Juan Pable Torres in Cuba. Caribbean Sextet in Haïti. While we’re in the Caribbeans, Ska is also derived from jazz and Rocksteady and Reggae are in turn derived from it, try older Ska bands like the Skatalites, that’s where it’s most obvious.

In Africa there’s Manu Dibango from Cameroon, who blends some trafitional music influence, also Mulatu Atatske from Ethiopia (who’s still alive and kicking), then you have the whole Afrobeat genre starting in Nigeria with Fela Kuti (early Afrobeat is still really close to jazz, though modern Afrobeat, which is closer to hip-hop).

That’s those I know best among the classics (I’m not sctually a huge expert despite my tirade, I may have been exagerating a bit because I got defendive and also as a joke). But if you search almost any country name and add “jazz” after it, you’ll certainly get a result (the only time I failed was when I tried Bhutan, and I still think they likely have jazz somewhere, it’s just hard to find).

My favorites among the recent ones are Shabaka Hutchings from the UK and, Thurgo Théodat from Haïti (not super famous, but really good, I’ve actually heard him play live). Mulattu Atatske has also done stuff recently, and sun Ra’s Arkestra still exists.

Also, since nobody plays jazz alone, once you found a jazz player you like, a good way to find more is to see who they’ve played with. If it’s a band, see the members and what other band they’ve played in!

What even are words? Pieces of long dead people’s thoughts, which we assemble as grim puppets to replicate our own thoughts in a form that we hope others will comprehend? To hell with this, return to grunts and screams.

They’re also not birds. Or ladies, for that matter.
