I did like the way that Skype gave us a view that put everyone's heads in a 'room' together. It looked kind of strange but honestly made running panel discussions easier.
Haven't seen anything like it since.

Yeah, @derekstruble.bsky.social found it in 2020. We tried a few different platforms for getting video conferences into OBS, both paid and free, and it was the one that did what we wanted with the least hassle.

Yeah, I think it's worth remembering that all lessons can be over-learned.

This isn't a problem that's unique to Dropout (and I honestly admire what their cast and crew built).
Every subscriber-funded artist, journalist or production has to navigate how close they want to let their audience feel.

In retrospect, TOA was probably not the campaign I'd recommend for a new DM in an after-work game but I had a good time.

There must be a way to tell it to please not do that.

Pulling down from left side of camera vs right? That's how the iPhone does it.

I also strongly recommend blocking the bot-run accounts that just steal and share random viral images, videos and webcomics.

If you don't follow people who share slop you'll get less slop.

On Hard Fork, Kevin and Casey were saying that if the model could play videogames then it could probably do entry-level office jobs.
We need to stop rounding up its capabilities. If it can barely muddle through the first two gyms in Pokemon Red maybe it can't replace your intern?

The bill's sponsor flushed the remaining samples so they couldn't be analyzed, which is totally what you do when you're certain they couldn't have sickened your colleagues.

A bunch of Republican legislators in West Virginia actually got sick after a similar stunt so you never know.

Least surprising cliffhanger.

Is it because the system's rigged against him or is he an unpleasant person who just kinda sucks to deal with? Anyone who says "identity politics" like it's a scarlet letter is telling on themselves.

I'm not sure why there was so much uncritical praise for your guest who, by his own admission, is a fairly marginal figure who can't get on cable news.

The correct move is to run straight at 'em, Naruto-style.

In your opinion, what makes screen adaptations of books work… or not?

You need to return the license from your old computer. If it's dead, send a message to [email protected] and they'll sort you out.

Advice presented by pop psychologists and crisis communications firms are not moral imperatives.
You might get good results by following cookie-cutter advice. You might not. That's all that sort of advice can offer.

You're right about the first sentence.

So you're engaging in a semantic argument with unspecified people. Got it.

Sure, but the link you posted, while from the dictionary, isn't relevant to what I wrote.
The dictionary isn't a moral authority.

Hey, you found a blogger representing a dictionary who wrote a thing about the modern use of the word apology. What's this got to do with the price of eggs?

So?

You seem really hung up on Adam not delivering a particular kind of statement and I'm unclear on why it had to follow that precise format.

Okay. So?

What you posted doesn't look like an entry in Merriam-Webster and dictionaries usually don't tell you what you morally should do.

Someone can tick all of the boxes you listed and still be lying to you. Or not tick all of them while being entirely sincere.

There's lots of advice out there — often from crisis communications firms or pop psychologists — but there isn't an international governing body that determines what counts as an acceptable statement of regret after getting Orbed.
