Yes, anti-BDS laws. These were passed years ago (not reactionary to now). There are state and federal rules but in general, a university can't boycott or divest from Israeli (or many other nations) in political protest or it loses funding.

I think this is why we see most universities have their hands tied.

BG4 is going to be BGOnline 😂

I know lots of euro bros are showing how long their country is, but I think the point is that Texas is a state, not country. When you compare those things it's quite impressive, however still not even the largest state in the world. Here are some others. A nice drive from Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay will cost you 17 hours, or in Amazonas, Brazil, Manaus to Cruzeiro do Sul is 33 hours.

To the guy who annexed Arizona into California in order to beat Texas, shame.

Not for the MacBook, it's soldered in. So he will have to upgrade the whole thing. The M1 is one of the best laptops I've used (for work), but you have to choose the right specs at the beginning, otherwise you will be in a pickle.

I works for me without a user agent change if I enter through the Microsoft 365 teams workspace and not a teams share link.

Is Larian considered a massive studio? On Wikipedia is says Larian is 450 people and on LinkedIn it says Owlcat is 201. I assume that Larian didn't have everyone working on BG3 given their other efforts, so isn't the total headcount not that far apart?

I'd call the genre cowboy bebop, but wouldn't want to insult the show

While I agree we should be solving the root problem of homelessness equitably, the headline is misleading as I know many people on the left were also happy to have clean streets for a while.

When he leaves California, he will leave his salary too (and possibly his industry too)

Mastodon has went through a similar bump, but more recently has had some larger figures begin usage (local government broadcasts, b-level 'thought-leaders'/'influencers', etc). In order to get to the next level, lemmy needs to show it can survive test of time and is worth the effort to establish an online profile. For example, reddit has corporate organizations creating and maintaining subreddits which act as an avenue for community engagement. Having active community engagement leads to advertisement, which can be a double edged sword, but useful if pursuing 'growth' metrics. I'm not sure what the lemmy devs (or it's users) have planned for this.

I wonder what tipped authorities off that there was some form of spectrum surveillance. AFAIK you don't need a license or government approval to receive RF spectral data in almost all countries. I wonder if the actor was also transmitting as well.

Do we know what the details of the DoD contract outlined in terms of services provided? Musk seems to be retorting that the service was never meant to escalate conflict in the war, but I'd be curious what is actually on paper.
