There's a company that is illegally selling a few of my bestselling prints for years without my knowledge.

Does anybody have experience with this in how to approach this?

@itchi5 Depends on your country, the laws and what happens exactly. If you have a publisher, normally it's their work to instruct a lawyer. Large publishing houses even have their department for this.
Even if you have published the print at your own expense, you will not be able to avoid a lawyer. Professional organisations can sometimes help with the costs.
Perhaps @writers or @law can help you more.

I’ve bought a new pot, red, beautiful and enameled. The old one I used to have was cracked. And my two cast Iron pots are not enameled.
So I ended up cleaning that cupboard & sorting pots and pans (not really what I planned to do today). And I have loads. Some from the bottom and back are really dirty & need a thorough clean.
I will have to decide which should go for keeping in the basement. For a single person the amount is ridicules & I’ve not even got to the lids on the top shelf 😱

Gargantu8 ,

I was betting on that!! Anyway, love your setup!

Candelestine ,

Sounds delicious. I love cooking large portions and freezing later. One of my favorites is kinda a bastard chicken cacciatore I got from food network ages ago, some fireman cooked it for all his buddies in the firehouse. So, huge portions if you follow the recipe as-written, which I don’t recommend unless you know a lot of firemen or something.

It’s good though, a fairly mild variation. I usually toast the tomato paste for some better depth, and serve mine with angel hair.

None of these people exist, but you can buy their books on Amazon anyway. Here's an article on Amazon authors with GAN-generated faces and the books these authors publish (which appear to be almost entirely devoid of original human-created content).

The Assam Rifles (AR) outpost army people going about their usual morning drill. It's right in the heart of AIzawl - think of having an Army outpost in Connaught Place, Delhi - so political parties have always campaigned for its removal during elections. One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist as to why Mizos don't like them being in this location. Example promise: Assam Rifles battalion to be shifted from Aizawl - March, 2023 TOI link. Not everyone agrees with that "Friends of the the Northeast people" slogan, for obvious reasons.

That cannon also has a fascinating story. Someone noticed that the one from the British era was quietly replaced with a 'fake' one. Rumor was that the AR commandant 'took it with him' to his next posting (Nagaland IIRC). People were obviously furious. @histodon @mastodonindians

If you ever want to boggle at the true breadth of what "RPG" has come to mean in games, just pull up Steam and filter just on the RPG genre.

The diversity of game types, topics, and play styles on display in the top 20 games alone may blow your mind.

Second game completed in 2024: ! Great stuff! Beautiful soundtrack. Beautiful gameplay. Beautiful artwork. Beautiful story!

And quite challenging too, but really satisfying once you get in the zone.

@joel the best platformers/2D games apart from the Blind Forest that I've played and loved were:

  • Dead Cells
  • Ori: WOTW
  • Metroid Dread
  • Hollow Knight
  • Celeste

@mdawg I completed Metroid Dread last year, as well as Celeste back in 2019, I played some Hollow Knight in 2022, but I kind of stopped because of a distro-hop and haven't returned to it. Will start from scratch at some point maybe this year

Précisions importantes, je regroupe ici des réponses à des réactions, notamment des réactions postées sur le réseau de l'oiseau puant, mais comme l'article est en accès restreint ce sera utile ⤵️

affrication = processus phonétique ancien typique des langues romanes, vient de bruit friction en lieu d'explosion. Aucun lien avec l'Afrique 🙄 c'est par ce mécanisme que "c" de caballus latin est devenu "tche" et ensuite "ch" dans cheval

Pas nouveau, donc ⤵️🧶

I’m with you.

The fun thing about the Matalas post-TNG/legacy thing for me is that it nicely straddles the line between being new and nostalgic. Seven would be captain and a whole bunch of other stuff too would be new, but still connected to the TNG era past.

Oh for sure. While mods behaving badly isn’t anything new on the web, I can’t help but feel that this is a Reddit hang over culturally speaking.

Lemmy is a smaller and different space that really shouldn’t have to tolerate this from a mod. And from what I can tell, the behaviour is repeated.

Interestingly, I think it establishes a case against topic specific instances. They’re also an admin of the instance. For anything to be done about this would require acting against the place for Star Trek content on lemmy. Which is obviously a hard ask.

autistic teen and depression, what has worked for you to feel better?

samanthagroves ,
@samanthagroves@kolektiva.social avatar

@SylviaSolanas Well, truth is nothing did, but in retrospect I'm assuming that either accommodations or being taken out of school, removed from the neurosupremacist environment I grew up in altogether and live in one in which I would have been allowed to be myself (explore my special interests, be allowed to stim, unmask and not stigmatized for my meltdowns leading me to internalize them) may have helped.

Or at the very least perhaps I wouldn't have already been burnt out and an addict by the time I reached adulthood.

Another day, another service joins the Google Graveyard.

Google's Business Profiles had a feature that allowed sole traders and small businesses to quickly and easily set up a simple website.

Sure, it's not WordPress, but it was a good option for less tech savvy small businesses to get a web presence up quickly and easily.

And, as part of Google's ongoing enshittification, it's going: https://support.google.com/business/answer/14368911?hl=en&ref_topic=7032534&sjid=14999411477128650858-AP
