From 2025. No idea why anyone would post this now.

I’m honestly shocked by anyone south of the US not using the SI system considering they use metric otherwise.

I always say if I were a billionaire I would fund games and shows left and right, there are so many ideas that die or fizzle because of lack of funding. Seems like most people with money have no other passion but their money and controlling others.

Personally I would sponsor whatever cyberpunk game CDPR is working on next and for an original IP I’d like to see a medieval era ghost of Tsushima like game with all the longswords, chainmail and leather armor that comes with that.

Not trying to tell you to parent better, shit’s hard, but I see two possible things that might help.

First, any device he uses should be filtered from the open internet on router level with a white list of approved things he can access.

And second, you really need to talk with him about it. Why it’s a bad idea to text numbers of the floor, how cards are gambling and how specifically gabling will ruin his life and about addiction and how almost everything on the internet is designed to create it and abuse it. These would be long and not just once conversations with examples and reiterations because the subjects are complex and he will need a long time to process and absorb all that.

Good luck!

I have raid 5 to protect against hdd failure and I run syncthing and duplicati on immich and other folders for on premise and remote backups.

What I’m curious about is how people make stuff like Immich and nextcloud available to other people outside their network? When I need to access something remotely I vpn in. I know I don’t have the knowledge to have my server connected to the open internet in a secure manner. I don’t think someone like family members would ever want to bother with anything other than a link and a login page so only me and my partner use these services.

But this particular example is far from a cooked brain situation. I had the same questions when I was a kid about how they make cartoons and movies. There are many practical and in camera effects that were used to make people bigger or smaller and are very interesting to learn about. Nothing cooked about it.

Feels like we’ve been waiting for this bubble to burst for a lifetime.

I have also never read the books but that last season throws every character development out the window in a show all about characters and just rushes through scenes ignoring any build up to conclude to whatever shit the writers thought no one would ever guess because it was more important for them to not be guessed than to make it make sense.

It is objectively a horrible season, doubly so in contrast to the first one.

He sees the content and interacts with it on his own instance so he is not in fact “here”. Unless you are trying to somehow claim ownership of this community because it’s hosted on the lemmy.world instance.

I wasn’t on the list but I feel included now. Thank you deranged manchild of the fediverse.

Yeah this type of satire has lost all meaning and amusement when we realized there are many people taking this shit seriously and they have voting rights.

I don’t think there’s any positive environmental impact tbh. Plastics made from petrol tend to be made from by-products of the gas industry and are cheap and readily available. Plastics made from bio-sources sound eco, but actively require land and water to produce and it’s not like they break down somehow better when released in the environment so are in fact net worse. Sounds like green washing to me.

Was checking this out recently but everyone in this thread will be dead of old age by then, it’s not expected to be a fast transition.

Same hour and temperature in my area but this was outside. We are fucked.

Cheap ones and airfryers. Normal cooking temperatures are 170-200, I only go above that for pizzas. No idea what you do with 218, I would only expect burnt ousides and gooey uncooked insides.

This got me thinking, milionare normally means you have at least a milion right? Where $50 would be a good estimate, but the moment you have 2 milion you go half to $25 and technically 999 milion is still a milionare.

I just realised the concept of looking at boobies in a book with extra long pages must be pretty foreign to anyone born after 2000s.

I could move to Signal, open up a chat with myself and chat for a while but I think it would get pretty boring pretty soon.

I wouldn’t imagine that OP meant the question as Snowden being permanently labeled a hero for all of his life actions, nor should anyone ever be labeled as such. We are judging a specific action he took many years ago and also in a context of people generally labeling his action as good or bad since then. We are also not talking about comic book characters that are consistently one way or another through all of their actions. We can agree that a convicted felon can be heroic and a puppy loving doctor can do villainous shit as well depending on circumstance, opportunity and personal moral beliefs.

But for this specific action of exposing a terrible truth and essentially losing his way of life and being forced to live as a refugee, I don’t think we should get into the pendatry of what a hero in theory is or if his action led to any actual change. Being suppressed by forces with way more weight than you doesn’t eliminate whatever label your actions deserve.

I think you are being pedantic. If you went in risking your life to rescue a puppy from a burning house but the puppy doesn’t make it because of the fumes or you jump on a robber but he kills and leaves with the money anyway, do you stop being a hero because you failed to enact change? That’s ridiculous.
