I can’t sleep in the shadow of the light
Always remember when contemplating arguing with some guy on the internet, that you may be arguing about what cheese goes with what wine and then you check their post history and realize they drink their own piss. And then you’re like “Wow, I actually tried to argue culinary choices with a guy who drinks his own piss.”
Just saves time when you accept that lots of people reject reality and substitute facts with alternative lies.
Store brand cola (Rainbow) is fine for me. Also Pepsi Max out of a can, just something about it.
A special shoutout to Canada Dry Ginger Ale, I miss it. I haven’t seen it in the store for over a month now.
I use ffmpeg batch AV converter, you can convert multiple files automatically, its great for that.
Oh my God, thanks for the heads up! As a European, I would most definitely want to avoid visiting these sites, as I obviously respect copyright law to its full extent! Now I can add them to my (block) list!
Well they can plan it if they want to, but I’m sure many instances will just end up blocking them and there isn’t anything they can do about it. But on the other hand, having such a large backing is making things much easier for Threads.
Ok maybe its just me being out of touch with the Finnish scene, but I seriously and I mean SERIOUSLY doubt that 40% of the content pirated here is Finnish content. Could, again, be me just not giving a damn about Finnish shows/movies personally, but I don’t even know where I’d go looking for those downloads. But just looking at the sheer amount of content that’s available in English and other languages vs Finnish content, they are in essence saying that almost all Finnish shows are pirated then, because otherwise you’re not getting anywhere close to 40% of that content being pirated. Unless they think that without piracy ALL of those people would be watching it legally, then maybe you’d get somewhere north of 20%. But even with just Finnish content, the fact is that you’d have to subscribe, I think to at least two (MTV Katsomo+ that is 13€ per month so you don’t get ads (which yes, means that there is 7€ paid tier WITH ADS…) and Ruutu+ (that is also 13€ per month, 8€ per month WITH ADS…) and that’s on top of, say Netflix. I just don’t think that without piracy those 40% would actually pay for those services, just don’t see it happening. I think they are way off with their numbers and are delusional in thinking that Finnish content would have such a big draw. I doubt it does.
I remember watching this interview about this guy who had to be resuscitated and he said that what he felt was “nothing”, as in kind of like when you’re sleeping and you know nothing, except turned up to a thousand. He said he had to go through some serious therapy to get over it because when he “came back”, he just couldn’t believe that he had lost that sense of not having anything to worry about. I would venture its something like that, just like going to sleep but you just don’t even know it.
If we assume that all we are is just electrical impulses in our brains and those cease when we die, I don’t expect there to be much after that, you’re just gone and there’s nothing, so there is no suffering either.

Some software just literally isn’t available for Linux. And lets face it, even Ubuntu requires more tinkering than the average user is prepared to do, or in other words, any tinkering at all because they would have to install it themselves and they do not know how to do that. And the few times I’ve bothered to use Linux even as my backup, the tinkering never stops. Its not worth the hassle at this point in time.
Just make sure anything you order is either “fulfilled by Amazon” or “Ships from Amazon” and you should avoid that. I personally don’t order anything that isn’t shipped by Amazon (either through fulfillment or otherwise).
Yeah man, started on kbin and its been my favorite so far.
I’m too stupid to figure out the scale between that pole and the earth, so I did this instead:
Let us say that we have a standard globe and it has been attached to its stand from the south and north poles, so that you can spin it around on the stand
Let us assume that the “pole” attached to the globe is 2cm in diameter and that the scale of the globe is 1:42M
With this, it would mean that a 2cm “pole” on a globe would in real life correspond to a pole that is 840 kilometers in diameter.
Needless to say, that pole would be fucking massive either way.
I swear it hit 2M last year as well, people just stopped using it.
Over 300 million I think, which Threads is not yet even close to.
It really worries me that they’re trying to be federated with it. Thankfully lots of instances will block it, but it was only a matter of time until a corporation decided to take aim at federation.
I’m still waiting for Blue Sky, but at this point its either Mastodon or something else (like Threads) because Blue Sky just seems to be taking an eternity. Something is going to replace Twitter and at this point I just don’t know what it will be.
Well I guess that shows why I main kbin and not lemmy.world. Absolute dogshit decision from them.
