If anyone is trying to access stuff at the British Library but can't due to the #CyberAttack, National Library of Scotland is worth a try.
For example, it has some historical maps of the entire UK.
I've been looking at a large scale one for Suffolk, where my grandmother's family farmed up til the 1880s, and overlaying a modern satellite view. #BritishLibrary#maps https://www.nls.uk/
@markhburton While awaiting the return of digitised manuscripts & context to the British Library website, I've been hoping to find alternative sources after all the international collaboration on IIIF etc? but meanwhile just discovered that some popular images are at https://imagesonline.bl.uk
@leochavez Depends whether the game felt like an upward hill battle or not! I only say conquered for Souls-like games because they tend to be player hostile in nature, it feels like a constant battle between me and the game. I tend to finish these games out of spite. For games with a player friendly nature or normal difficulty, I tend to say finished or completed because I had fun during my playthrough.
Appearing in various places around the globe, treaties are not only concluded between polities who share a similar idea of sovereignty or territorial rights, which does not disqualify them as instruments of #diplomacy The issue about intercultural treaties leads to the question of whether these agreements had an equal or unequal character. Clearly, different forms of unequal treaties existed from the seventeenth century onwards – colonial treaties and the unequal imperialist treaties implemented with Asian empires such as China, Japan or the Ottomans. In Canada, for example, the British crown concluded dozens of treaties with the indigenous populations with regard to settlements and land rights. Indigenous agency within these processes has often been overlooked in the study of these treaty negotiations. (9/10)
Tremml-Werner demands more exchange between studies of European diplomatic history and that of other world regions and academic traditions to integrate native and indigenous sources and voices more balanced and to understand the rise of diplomacy as a result of global processes. (10/10)
like... just not having to bring up, much less explain, cptsd because the other person can talk about their own self-work... at this stage in my life, meeting new people again, i really appreciate that the @actuallyautistic and ND community writ large is figuring out our shit and healing.
@lemmyshitpost went on Reddit 🤢 for a second because they have a better ham radio community, god is that place fucked. Let’s start the fun again of trying to destroy it. #reddit#fuckreddit
Can someone explain to me why there are entire communities on Lemmy about Reddit? I used to use Reddit too, I enjoyed it, then I left after the API changes. Now I use Lemmy. It doesn’t have any emotional hold on me, it was just a tool that I used. Stop bitching and move on with your life. It’s just sad at this point. If you really didn’t care for Reddit any more then there’d be no need to keep saying loudly how bad it is and how you don’t care or use it.
It certainly wasn't a well-made novel, too much bleeding from the wounds, but none the worse for that. It has an intensity and sharpness, and sometimes it's better not to blunt the edges of a story with artifice.
i'm astounded by how far #gaming on #linux has come since the last time i seriously used linux, which was probably ... 2010?
not only are older games and several newer games now natively packaged for linux, #steam play + #proton works for so much that dual-booting #windows is so far from my mind.
i could see #windows still being necessary for brand-new 'triple-a' stuff, unfortunately; but let's hope that's not the case for much longer.
@beanjbunny I haven't been playing Palworld because guns and more colonialism were not the things I've felt Pokémon has been missing. But it sounds like there's something AI-related, too—can you shed more light on that?
