oh I’m aware, that’s why i said another.
oh I’m aware, that’s why i said another.
honestly, as good as this may be in the short term, they’ve really just added one more highly Conservative religious state that will vote against the interest of the common good moving forward.
I strongly support Palestine gaining statehood and for Israel to stop fucking with them (that extends far beyond the war), but that doesn’t mean i like their ideals. i think there’s a strong chance that this will cause problems moving forward and that conservatives will use that as ammunition.
that said, this is the un finally really kinda doing its job for once. ending global conflict through diplomacy. can’t say that’s a bad thing.
IDK, the people deciding that only care about money. i bet it will replace the expensive ones first. this will probably make many things even more shitty, but it’s not like anyone’s going to replace the like 8 tech companies that do anything. even if they all suck even worse
yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.
i mean, this story sounds like it’s from pre-release testing, or maybe a trade show demo showing a pre-release build. it not working this way in the release version just makes sense, and doesn’t mean this is a fake story.
i work in video. i have one monitor as my primary “work” space. that’s where i put my timeline, or whatever I’m working on the most in that moment. sometimes it’s color controls, sometimes it’s keyframes and effects controls.
monitor 2 is actually my best monitor. that’s the video clean feed. that’s my big color accurate monitor.
monitor 3 is bins and scopes and effects and whatever other control surfaces and monitors i might need.
You’re just changing the direction of that light with a mirror. Picture a light bulb vs a light bulb in a flashlight with that reflector dish behind it.
Walls also do this, but to a lesser extent. If your concern is wasting light then get a lamp with a reflective directional shade. You know, like the Pixar lamp.
yeah, once you have the drives, building the rest of the system can be done for dummy cheap if you look at like cheap used workstations that some company or school is offloading. and it would still probably be a more capable system all around.
did you intentionally say Dennis server? cause I’m gonna start saying that regardless.
honestly, y’all should both give strange new worlds a shot. to me they’re the closest we’ve ever gotten to TOS. even moreso than TNG. and i agree that the other new treks were ass.
it’s one of the only commonly known messaging platform to most people that:
1: isn’t owned by a company that many people hate, even if they don’t know much about it.
2: isn’t platform locked and doesn’t discriminate.
3: doesn’t require money or verification to use.
i can see how it’s kinda settled out this way. whatsapp never caught on in the u.s. because everyone here was happy with sms and mms when the rest of the world was picking up Whatsapp. from what i understand that’s literally just because texting was cheap in the u.s… now people want more than mms, but apple is being apple about it so we need a third party app. by this point Whatsapp is owned by Facebook and the “privacy” of it is openly mocked by the average non tech person. everyone hates Facebook so the idea of willingly adopting another Facebook messenger that you’re not already on seems crazy. anyone that would accept that is just going to use Facebook messenger instead. anyone that wouldn’t will find something better.
Snapchat has no big controversies. no one knows who owns them. they don’t really try to be more than a messaging platform. i can see why people would uncritically choose it as their default. i bet it’s big among the kids who don’t play that whole blue bubble iphone supremacy game, but don’t use discord either. so i guess the non nerdy kids that aren’t elitist dicks. that’s who I’d guess uses it amongst the youth these days.
edit: before the suggestions come, I know these aren’t good solutions. I’m just theorizing why. getting my friends on matrix as best i can…
blahaj is a trans rights icon sort of.
is there data to support wait times being faster? because thinking that wait times could be any worse than that already are in the u.s. seems ridiculous. it’s not fast here.
i mean, that’s the audience that needs to hear this message the most…
I’ve got a really unscientific answer that feels good in my head.
culture is so deeply ingrained and large that only two things could change it:
1: slow change from within
2: war/genocide
cults on the other hand are small enough and new enough and not deeply enough ingrained. it feels possible to defeat them in the “marketplace of ideas” as it were.
even if that’s not quite true, even if it’s not actually easier to argue can against scientology. it feels like it should be.
that’s why there’s such a difference in criticism too. because it comes down to “well what do you think should be done about it then?” it’s pretty clear that you can’t argue a person out of such a deeply rooted cultural belief.
also, it’s about who you’re criticizing in relation to yourself. a white person living in America has way more ground to stand on calling another white American out for having bad beliefs and practices. this is because you can understand where they come from and the culture around them
ultimately there is no concrete “good” and “bad”. for you to enforce your idea of that onto a people who universally agree that your “good” is actually bad then you’re the bad guy no matter how right you think you are. no matter how much your people think you’re right for what you do that’s cultural imperialism/plain old regular imperialism.
I’d start with any torrent that you ever struggled to get seeders for. then i like to try and hit some kinda older classic type stuff that i like and want others to see as well. tough to give any other thoughts without knowing what you DO like to torrent lol. only knowing what you don’t doesn’t get us far.
i think letterkenny might have the most realistic representation of “the dark web”
buncha tweakers in their mom’s basement with a nerd friend that helps them look at onion sites so they can feel like edgelords without actually buying anything.
sure, but the issue of the un never getting things done or doing the wrong thing is due to the influence and stalling done by states that oppose the common good for religious reasons or personal gain. in the long run that’s what Palestine is likely to be.
so again, i don’t disagree with this move. it’s necessary, but i also Foresee more problems in the future. nothing really for it, just a prediction.
