    Whenever I see the media being silenced like this, I'm always reminded of a Tyrion Lannister quote from A Clash of Kings:

    “When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”

    Not quite like the albums you mentioned, but here's some stuff that all incorporates some classical instruments with modern rock instruments

    • Laideronnette or zatracenie by matryoshka - maybe the most like what you mentioned, ambient-ish with strings and piano
    • イリヤ (- il y a -) by 夢中夢 (mutyumu) - maybe a bit avant-garde, but makes heavy use of strings and piano
    • Enjoy Eternal Bliss by Yndi Halda - post-rock with strings
    • ONDA by JAMBINAI - Korean post-rock that mixes traditional Korean instruments with modern rock instruments

    The irony of you trying to be contrarian is that Tacoma is still derived from the native name. Good luck finding a coloniser name for our city.

    Unfortunately (fortunately??) the city quit being smelly long before I moved here. My roommate who has lived here since the 90s remembers it though!

    You mean I have to bring up the on-screen keyboard and type out the name of an app instead of just scrolling & tapping an icon with 1-2 simple motions?

    It just means you have the option to do both. Kvaesitsio has the app drawer one would expect, and a persistent search bar.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word. All statements made by conservatives should be dismissed out of hand as dishonest.

    100% this. There's a reason we in the states say the GOP stands for gaslight, obstruct, project.

    Please note that Tsar Nicholas II was a horrid authoritarian ruler with a lot of fucking blood on his hands. We're talking to the tune of millions.

    The Podcast Behind the Bastards did an excellent, four part series, on good ol' Nicky the Second. Great listen.

    But this is what many authoritarians look like. Ordinary people, with ordinary fascinations and family.

    A lot of people like to cut him some slack, like "oh but he loved his family and was a great family man!" It reminds me of people who say Hitler was a great public speaker and artist or whatever. 🙄

    I had no idea there was even a Switch port in the works, super impressive they got it to run. Considering it was ported by the same team, I wonder if it looks anything like The Wither 3 did on the Switch. I was very impressed by that port, but it sure was blurry!

    I just saw that [lemmy.ml](https://slrpnk.net/post/676938) has pre-emptively defederated from threads. Are there any plans to do that here? I personally want nothing to do with Meta/Facebook, and I'm sure that's not an unpopular opinion around here. edit: y'all, please pay attention to where you are when coming from all. edit again: kbin really ought to make a post's home instance more clear.
