It should be a.

Imagine if the cube was actually a long rod and the orange portal start with the column half way inside it. Then the orange portal moves, in this case it would be very odd for the rod to jump in this scenario like in case b, the thing you would expect would be for the rod to stay still (besides tipping sideways a bit) consistent with case a.

The goal isn't necessarily to outright prevent piracy (but obviously they would if they could). But, by keeping such sites constantly changing it prevents sites from gaining notoriety and keeps people who aren't very tech savvy (the majority) away from torrenting. They may get a site they can trust from a friend, but when that site goes down in a month the hope is they just give up. The faster the churn the more normie users can be kept away from piracy.

Jellyfin is pretty great, but still requires the user be on somewhat close terms with someone tech savvy. Torrenting more generally has the (false) perception of being very risky. It's not about stopping people in the know, we aren't good consumers anyway, it's about stopping tech illiterate people.

Here is an article giving some voice to both opinions after a team name change:

'If you want to use the word Eskimo you had better be an Eskimo or I'll eat you for lunch,' tweeted Tagaq

In my personal experience its definitely a slur and a very strong one here in canada, and if i heard a canadian say it i would absolutely assume they were a racist.

Always good to see a fascist flee, but it seems the UK is stuck in a death cycle of just constantly refreshing all their leaders, unable to accomplish anything. Don't get me wrong, having a facist leader is way worse, but like what is the way out of this?

They have an etiquette around how many posts/pics a day are acceptable and also heavily control their own narratives. Which is probably why genz barely drinks compared to previous generations.

Use AI at all: They already have, and most indies too, very minor AI usage is already a thing in most game studios workflow and has been for a long while (that doesn't mean we shouldn't push back against irresponsible AI usage, such as using it for non-procedural production assets, or more than a couple lines of code at a time).

"Made purely with generative AI": Debatable that they could get something that compiled, if they could it would be too bad for anything that isn't a scam to ship, just like NFTs.

The Lincoln memorial is apparently 32000m^2^ i estimate thats about 0.25m^2^ so that represents very roughly 100dollars of tax payer money.
