Good for them. We absolutely need to stand up to tossers like that.

Is it really cosplay without a wig?

As if this tool knows anything about creativity beyond being creative with numbers

Alright, I'll just buy another one... from a brand that isn't shit.

Left. She looks more fun, instead of the other one that makes me think of the stereotypical pretentious tart sorority sister.

Even if specifically so it doesn't make it to their legal department.

Admittedly, me too. I wasn't as taken with Paralives to begin with but after the inZoi demo ran poorly on my rig, not an insubstantial rig, I'll add, it kinda put me off and I'm slightly worried about content. Paralives seems more the tried and true path of The Sims but minus the EA bullshittery.

I don't think it's inherently a "straight" issue to think the topic of sexuality can be out of place at times. I don't think the topic of sexuality should be taboo like it has been historically but, like many topics, I think there's a time and place for it. In my eye, the only time I need to know a person's orientation is when I find someone I wish to pursue something with since it's a key aspect of my chance of success. I believe what someone does and is into is a closed doors affair; it's their business, not mine. Plenty of times someone's sexuality is held above someone's head, quite literally in the case of this casual fishing game where I feel it doesn't even slightly belong. In these situations, I find myself made uncomfortable because the topic is very mismatched for the context. We're standing here fishing, so why are you bringing who you like to bang - or not, as the case may be - into the conversation?

And huh, would you look at that, I didn't bring my own orientation into the mix because it's not needed.

Probably the spiciest instance of fighting fire with fire I've ever seen

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively "calming" it?

This is for a novel (not exactly a sci-fi one) but I'd like to keep in the realms of "technically possible".

Edit. Thank you to everyone for providing answers and specific thanks to @Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com @radix@lemmy.world and @Deestan@lemmy.world for the for the further reading/watching materials that have inspired a narrative solution that is kinda hand-wave-y but should be good enough to hold up to scrutiny until the moment someone with a PhD (or good enough knowledge) takes a closer look at a fictional word with a soft magic system and smashes the big ol' BS button which I think is about as much as fantasy novel writer can ask for.

Problem isn't just on Linux's side for a change. Louis Rossmann did a video on Netflix's bullshit some weeks ago. Seems it's far from uncommon to not get what you're paying for with those shitbags
