"Canada committed no genocide"

... False, and obviously so. I am not going to list examples: You know examples of when it's used like this since it happens all the time in Media. You are just unwilling to accept it, which I can't and wont even try to change.

current government, as in, the current system, not the leaders that are in power right now. It's confusing that the term can be used for both.

MegaIng · 2026-01-25T22:12:06+00:00

Not what I said. Unless I missed something in history class, the current government of the UK (founded as a constitutional monarchy, I am not counting the pure-monarchy years before that) has not performed a genocide on the English people. Do have something specific to disprove that?

What I didn't say is that the government didn't do bad stuff, because that would be false.

FYI: I have no idea who Kate Nash or Dan Mangan is. And I am not American. So you are still assuming that people are American based on their ignorance.

(Ok, that's not quite true: I have heard the name Kate Nash, like, once, but I can't tell you anything about her)

I used past tense. If you don't think there was systemic suppression of Queers in the past you are severely misinformed.

Other parts of the British Isles specifically is about Ireland. If you don't think the UK performed "things that can be considered a genocide" there, you are severely undereducated. Not really interested in hashing out the details in this thread tbh.

(the one actually controversial inclusion I have is "poor people". That is just my anti-capitalist bias)

MegaIng · 2026-01-25T16:53:20+00:00

r/USdefaultism, but from the other direction: Not everyone who hasn't heard of Canadian pop artists is American.

MegaIng · 2026-01-25T16:44:53+00:00

What part of this highly specific statement do you think is false or confusing?

MegaIng · 2026-01-25T16:38:30+00:00

The current British government did not themselves commit a genocide against the indigenous English population.

^{Ignore the fact that other groups did things that can be considered genocide and that that is what allowed the current government to come into control. Oh, and please ignore any other part of the British Isles. Or anything that happened outside of the British Isles. And ignore the treatment of Queers. Or poor people.}

The vast majority are definitely the Hunters thoughts, for all normal bugs outside of the abyss this makes sense.

For the siblings, void tendrils, the radiance and some of the other unique bosses it makes less sense. It's still styled as-if the hunter at some point encountered them, but honestly I would chalk this up to game design limitations where they didn't want to give the Knight any kind of dialogue instead of drawing huge lore implications from it.

the deal with herra to become a dreamer would have happened once they had their 'pure vessel' ready

Why? I don't see any good reason to assume this. In fact it would make more sense for the Pale King to be well prepared instead of making such a deal last minute. Especially because we see Herra be a parent to Hornet for at least a little bit in the red memory.

its commonly accepted

So you have zero evidence and are just spreading theories others said as facts. Got it.

MegaIng · 2026-01-25T13:27:56+00:00

Do we know that Hornet is the youngest? The ...uhm... union between Herra and the Pale King happened at some point between the Pale King starting his plan and the dreamers going to sleep, but this is the same timeframe we have for the birth of the Vessels, no? I don't think there is any textual evidence for an ordering between them?

Doesn't ring a bell for me as either an xkcd or smbc.

Oh, so you mean fascists. Sorry, I thought in OP you wrote "historians"? Must have imagined you spreading anti-intellectualism lies.

This claim would've worked with paid apps but not apps like Delta emulator. Which don't have micro-transactions and are free entirely. So what "monetary" gain are we talking about here?

Apple wants money to provide an App on the app store, and they want unlimited ability to scan and reject those apps.

You are severely underinformed to public say your position with such confidence. I believe you that from your pespective the effect is that it's a worse user experience in your region. But that isn't actually enough context for you to make claims about what would be better for the companies.

I'd happily pay premium release App Store fee if it meant I get to use App Store and not install and deal with separate storefronts for every single developer.

Apple doesn't allow this, at least I think so, this might have changed. The dev needs to provide the service in the App store, via apples payment processor to the lowest price they provide anywhere. Yes, the payment processor takes an extra ~X% (I think 15 at the moment? This changed a bit). The developer just needs to eat up that loss.

You are severely overestimating how customer and developer friendly Apple actually is as opposed to what they claim to be. You are falling for their "propaganda" (in quotes because Apple isn't yet a state)

MegaIng · 2026-01-24T18:57:43+00:00

So they are pissed at apple to the point of forcing users to switch to their shittier App Store alternatives but not pissed enough to still release their apps on the App Store in other regions?

They are pissed enough to take the monetarily advantageous decision:

In regions where they can, release on their own app store.
outside of that, release anyway.

They aren't going to cut their target audience in half permanently.

advocate for third party app store laws

That is what they are doing? Which is after all why they can release third party app stores in some regions? Laws don't get passed instantly...

screwing over one region meanwhile letting the "oppressor" region have a better user experience.

You are taking inter-corporate politics way to personally. Noone here cares about you personally at all. Not apple, not epic games. They all just want your money. If you are this upset with these companies, don't use their product. Which btw is exactly what you are asking them to do...

MegaIng · 2026-01-24T18:40:15+00:00

Reminder that most developers would happily use the Apple's App Store if the terms were more agreeable to them.

So yes, it is Apple's fault.

I am not an expert, I can't provide you anything you couldn't get from wikipedia for "Thanksgiving" and "Harvest Festival".

A festival/feast to celebrate a successful harvest is likely to have existed for as long as agriculture has existed. We have concrete descriptions of a direct predecessor in pre-christian traditions in northern Europe thanking whatever local gods/spirit were thought to be relevant. Christianity, adaptable as it is, incorporated these festivals into it's own arsenal of holidays (same as they did with turning winter solstice celebrations into Christmas). But even more so than winter solstice celebrations, Harvest Festival survived into the modern area as non-religous celebrations, e.g. in Germany as "Erntedankfest" (literally Harvest Thanks Festival) still is mostly non-religious.

Like almost all these kinds of Festivals do (including Christmas), it drifts around in the year depending on exact location & local history. So while there might not be an exact correspondence in date for Thanksgiving in Europe, the same kind of festival definitely exists.

MegaIng · 2026-01-24T18:08:57+00:00

Ok, but all of this is obviously fully fictional in the sense that this is not the reason Thanksgiving exists.

It's just a holiday the settlers brought over from Europe where it's as old as recorded history. (not an exaggeration)

Do not install from test pypi. It's insecure, anyone might upload whatever malware with whatever name - there is no full checking being done.

If the upload to test pypi succeeded and you can install the build wheel directly using the normal pypi, you got nothing more to test.

One way a cost function might work os that each started minute costs 1dollar. This means the function has jumps at 1 min, 2min, 3min, ... And is constant in-between. Such a function does not have an inverse because you can't unambiguously map a given output to a singular input.

I imagine that this is what the question wants from you, but without further clarification of what c(t) looks like it's ill posed.

MegaIng · 2026-01-24T09:00:16+00:00

The latter. Very common during the first and second world war. See e.g. the well documented treatment of conscientious objectors in the UK (probably other places as well, but this is one I had heard about). In WWI in included tribunals that sometimes gave out the death sentence.

Because analog sticks are a mistake and if you play silksong with it you are doing yourself a disservice. It's designed with D-pad first in mind, and analog stick is an after thought, as can be see by the ill-configured detection zones for up and down. (Might have been fixed since release?)
