The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption

We definitely felt the ship groaning through all this. Thankfully the Rudd-er skillfully navigated through this, and the software update on top.

Anyways, welcome to Lemmy 17!

A quite apt metaphor of Man drowning in problems that can't just be burned away.

What's the purple masto?

Stop giving big corpo any more chance at 3E saying "no this time it'd be different" no the outcome is the same every time.

You have broken out of the algorithmic chains that has tied up your attention and time to literal prolefeed. And it starts when you chose to abandon Reddit and go out of your way to join a Lemmy instance (often cited as the biggest barrier of entry: to choose an instance) so congrats! 😀

We don't know how the fediverse would play out in the long term but I expect a few things:

  • Lemmy devs will implement locking old posts in the future
  • instance owners will decide on their post locking policies
  • Many instances will not survive for as long as Reddit survived till today
  • Third party archivers (perhaps archive.org among others) will need to step in and archive posts. Ofc archived posts is not interactible.

Enshittification hitting the physical realm is pain.

It's all the K-dramas

Either he do this or somebody eventually would do it for him.

Let's go shuck some scoots, boys!

This is why I don't get why the 9th of November is such a big deal.

The millennials are in the absolute worst position tech literacy wise. They had the boomers on one end and the zoomers on the other.

You must imagine selfhosters happy.

If all parties use the same cracked version, and play on LAN, then yes.

Be very wary of malware though. I've had one cracked CS1.6 infect me (and presumably all my buddies) on a LAN party at the uni dorm.

Then we'll ship the AI.

...what do you mean, all the ICBM silo doors are opening?

Most disingenuous post ever.

The image shown is a dude with a browser dev console, probably measuring a div for the its CSS size (which do support centimeters and inches).

In python, 4 spaces is just enough spacing between indent levels. And if your levels get too deep it's a sign that you're not being pythonic. Nesting too deep is the problem, not the whitespacing being significant.

There's a lot of artists on the microblog side of the fediverse. It's just that crossing the boundary to the threadiverse side is a big hassle. Not to mention the one way state of federation between lemmy and mastodon right now makes the other half invisible from this side.

IMHO video links should always be YouTube first, then third party mirror second, in the body or comments. Here are the reasons:

  1. YouTube is the primary source. Always prioritize the primary source when you're sourcing.
  2. Think of the URL being shared as the primary key to a database record. Lemmy can use it to detect dupes. With YouTube URL there's like 3 forms, discounting timestamps. With piped links the possibility expanded to 3+(number of piped instances on the web). This massively increases the likelihood of accidental reposts.
  3. Give people a choice of whether they want to watch on the original site, or on a piped instance of their own choosing. When you link to a piped instance link you rob people of that choice.
  4. A piped instance can choke or go offline at any time. YouTube is close to 100% uptime.
  5. Userscript wise, it's trivial to map YouTube URLs to a user's piped instance of choice, but it's so much more tedious to detect and map every single piped instance.

Piracy is Preservation

"Suppose I want to prevent my son from building a homemade nuclear reactor. Which household items and materials should I prevent him from buying, and how much?"

Nice, now a BBC in the fediverse is not just that thing.

We should support them as this is a pretty significant entity moving into the space. Leave nice comments, encouraging comments.

People: "Please get this thing to work, my work/life depends on it!"
Me: "There are people whose work/life depend on my jank code/website?"

Tablets don't have gpios tho

WB: "we hate money"

Not a theory anymore. It's becoming a real life experiment at this point.

Why is it on Tor tho 💀

Quick, list all the alternatives so that we're not boned once the other one gets the chop. Would be better if it's in the wiki linked in the megathread.

Come on man, that's Ruud.

Ah yes, the fursons and furdaughters.

Guess what, a fediversal bot works across the whole fediverse! we're truly no longer locked into one site, the new tools can work anywhere and everywhere!

Markup language ≠ programming language.
Markups produce layout, not code.
Typesetting (the Gutenberg way) produce books, not run the looms.

Inb4 the staff is also AI who will gaslight you into believing the other AI.

Le-git-slation for the win!

Who would've thought it's the publishers themselves that's doing the Fahrenheit 451-ing

YSK that almost all browsers except Firefox and its derivatives uses the same base as Chrome called Chromium.

tbf all the real ones start with A:

  • Asia
  • Africa
  • Antarctica
  • Australia
  • America (North)
  • America (South)

The only fake one is Europe, being part of Asia geographically.

The most probable theory is that the server owner found illegal federated content on their server and decided to nuke the place entirely.

It's concrete, not cement. Cement is a component, not the end product.

If you leave a bag of portland cement outside and let the rain cures it then that's a cement block.

And the article mentions both but in contradicting contexts. Is "cement blocks" actually "concrete blocks"? Then later it mentions cement being incorporated into the resulting concrete, so what was the previously mentioned "cement blocks"? Nothing made of cement in the shape of blocks are ever incorporated into concrete. Cement powder is.


Anyway, cool concept. In the mean time, the world also needs to figure out how to make concrete more green, because manufacturing cement releases a lot of greenhouse gases.
