remember that JWST doesn't do visible spectrum and, regardless, it's specialized for faint distant objects. From JWST's perspective, Titan emits a lot of light. It's kind of like using a telephoto lens to take a picture of your foot.

Yeah. I ran it in docker for years and it was such a hassle compared to HAOS. The switch to VM was best decision I made regarding HA.

Sorry, I didn't phrase that clearly. Sunn O))) was one of the best shows I've ever been to. GY!BE was terrible.

Sunn built up such an intensity and anticipation, and during the show they put a hell of a show. Fog covered the venue... they had vocalist Attila with them who was wearing a robe covered in mirror fragments and he had lasers on the end of each finger that he would bounce off the mirrors and into the crowd/fog. I've been to a few hundred shows and this light show alone would rank it up there, but the performance was something else too. It was the most intense and loud show ever (don't forget your hearos, lol), you could feel your skin and clothing vibrate. Supposedly the Brooklyn Masonic Temple has no noise ordinance to follow because they're grandfathered out of it, or something like that. It was loud.

With Godspeed You! Black Emperor I would have been better off if I stayed home and listened to low quality mp3. No stage presence, no engaging the crowd, nothing notable to say really. They sounded off and bored, like they were doing this because their family was held hostage. I don't know what I expected, but it was at least decent sound quality. This was not long after they got back together, so maybe that played into it.

I saw Sunn and Godspeed You Black Emperor at different times in the same venue (Brooklyn Masonic Temple) and they were both the best show and the worst show I've ever seen in my life, respectively. Walked out halfway through Godspeed, it was so bad. Anyway, Sunn O))) rocks

Sorry you're getting downvoted. I don't know if I agree with you, but back in the golden ages of Reddit the rule was don't downvote because you disagree, downvote because it's a shit comment. I don't think your comment was shit... I think we've brought way too much of modern reddit to lemmy.

I was about to comment that I lived in Oakland for 5 years and it really isn't that bad. Like any city, it has its bad parts that you need to avoid. But you cleared it up.

a large part of east Oakland

A large part of east Oakland is bad. Luckily, it's easy to avoid... but not if you already live there.

A few things:

  • Many (most?) ratings these days are self-assessed by the developer/publisher.
  • The review process has been heavily streamlined through IARC, so you can effectively get ESRB/PEGI/etc simultaneously. Governmental ratings (like GRAC in South Korea) still require you go through the government agency -- but some stores like Epic or Oculus can effectively do this for you -- and even then it's still self-assessed.
  • Some of the storefronts offer help with ratings, in a way doing what a publisher would do, if you self-publish. You take a quiz to determine ratings and ask questions before the rating boards even know you exist.
  • Ratings boards don't typically play the game. Sample screenshots and descriptions can be included in some submissions, especially if there's a grey area or the submitter is inexperienced, but it's often just apply and get your cert.

I know nothing about Spain's political parties, and I'm personally not a fan of conservative parties, but just to point out the obvious:

abled supremacy

The whole reason this thread and news article exists seems to refute that. I know it's only one data point, but the situation is notable on a global scale.
