Statistically speaking there has to be some other life out there. Although, with how rare that is and large the universe is, we'll never find them, and they will never find us.
But with the magic of your question? I'll go to the nearest planet with another spacefaring civilization!
I just need to remember to bring my towel.
I was thinking same thing when I landed there.
You know what would really help? If these authors included links to the websites where readers could immediately voice their support of these petitions before the deadline is up. We have until Dec 7:
Click the message icon -> Submit a public comment
You can find the section of the document summarizing these petitions if you do a ctrl+F on the page and search for "Jayden" and then "Zakaria".
Note - Technically the author has this link, but it's obscured under a statement of how the Copyright Office "has repeatedly declined to recommend" changes in the past.
Some useful excerpts:
One of these petitions comes from Jayden Milne. He asks the Office to allow owners of DVDs, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray discs to make a single secured, local copy for personal use, when the digital copy promised on the packaging is no longer available.
[...]
A second and related petition, submitted by Zakaria Zerhouane, focuses on anime more broadly. It covers series and films that were removed from authorized U.S. streaming platforms after their licenses expired, as well as anime released on disc by U.S. distributors that no longer exist.
[...]
In addition to bypassing encryption on discs, Zerhouane also wants to legally circumvent the DRM, geo-locking, and session-based access controls that streaming platforms use. This is needed, the petition argues, as the anime licensing market is unstable.
I feel like making an obvious mistake like this in a heading is purposefully done to drive up engagement.
Some things just don't federate well across services. Here on the threadiverse we can all see each other's upvotes and downvotes. However Lemmy users can't see the likes/boosts of Mastodon users. Mbin/Kbin users can see boosts though.
On the other side, Mastodon users can't see the upvotes/downvotes of Threadiverse users, or even their own upvotes/downvotes that they may have received from the Threadiverse.
So, while the fediverse as a whole may have 20 million users, sometimes the more common way that people engage is by simply liking/boosting/voting something. That information isn't always supported by different services and it may look a little emptier than it actually is.
Engagement on the Threadiverse may be a bit easier, because all you need to do is find a popular community and post in it.
Engagement on the other side of the fence is usually found by following a popular hashtag, or mentioning users with a large following. They can still create posts in Threadiverse communities as well, but that's not the typical route that they're used to.
If anyone already owned these games on GoG, then you'll automatically get the anniversary editions for free.
Yeah, I think he might've accidentally included some footage from a previous build (according to some comments).
I was ready to throw down some more money for all the work they did to restore these games, but then it looks like GoG automatically gifted me these anniversary editions for all of the games that I already owned.

Sorry for the low quality night shot. It looked much better at sunset, but I didn't grab a screenshot at the time.
On the bright side, here's a wide screen shot of one of the towns on Nyx I.
The town was bustling with activity from players coming and going for their various guild hall contracts. A few players were driving around in ground vehicles. You can enter inside of just about every building. There's a freight elevator, but nowhere to spawn vehicles from what I could find.

[Spoiler] SC Alpha 5.0 - New Loading Screen
(lemmy.nz)
I love how they mix a few things from real life into these loading screens. Looks like this time around they're referencing the deadly pickles that would cause instant death for some players a few updates back.

SC Alpha 5.0 is now open to Wave 1!

Looks like we can finally get some pictures/videos out of the 5.0 update.

Hopefully we get a Wave 1 release soon... But if it's having issues we might have to wait a little bit longer.

[Evo PTU] Star Citizen Alpha 5.0 PTU 13119881 - Genesis, QDSM, Starchitect, Mission Boards

I remember an interesting 3D space that showed just about every part of the fediverse.
I think it was this one, but it doesn't look like the website is running anymore:

SC Alpha 5.0 will be available for Evocati soon. They've got a goal to get it out tonight, however, it's not uncommon that these Playtests get pushed back by a day or two. A full 24 hour Playtest should give the players time to really explore the newer features.
Reading into it a bit more, they updated their algorithm in 2021:
In 2021, the IEA adopted for the first time a new hybrid modelling approach relying on the strengths of both models. The integrated framework of the IEA’s Global Energy and Climate Model (GEC Model) is now the principal tool used to generate detailed sector-by-sector and region-by-region long-term scenarios across IEA publications, including the World Energy Outlook series and Energy Technology Perspectives series.

Did you download from F-Droid? It might be that some library (that's necessary for notifications) can't be included there because it's proprietary.
