As a big Cult of the Lamb fan, this is very exciting!

We invented feudalism all over again!

Meta get’s to look up a lot of porn illegally but UK needs to show their face. What a distopia we live in.

Me too, so much!

A big reason why I’ve come to like Lemmy communities so much is really because they give me some old internet feeling. It’s not super crowded, it’s an app that isn’t design for brain rot, it allows interesting online discussion etc.

I think projects like this can continue to exist, even in a bleak corporate owned internet.

It’s yet another step in seeing the Internet becoming owned by big corporations. Only big corporations can implement these things.

Art, creativity, people doing internet things as a hobby, that is dying more and more everyday.

This game holds a special place in my life. Back in the 90s we had it on the family PC and it was so awesome.

Every once in a while I play it on DOSBox. I fully recomend it. It’s an amazing game.

Some times in school I did, and not only do I not regret it at all, I also see it as a necessary life skill.

Many times people are put in deeply unfair situations where the rules are against them to begin with. If you play by the rules you will always lose.

In school I had some teachers who didn’t give a fuck. They were not taking their job or teaching seriously but were still sadistic people taking some form of sick pleasure against students.

In such cases, there is no established framework in these situations where it there was a class with knowledge transfer/teaching, where the student is properly put to a test to verify he indeed adquire such knowledge. You rather have a sick social exercise where a sociopath is in a position of power making student’s life hell and test results are semi random.

In university I also had teachers who only pretended to teach. They would not be there for most of the time of the class or not show up at all, but they still made tests with the material that wasn’t teached and that students didn’t even know about. Of course many would just fail like this.

In these cases I cheated.

Life trows you these situations, and learning how to cheat is rather learning how to save yourself. I never cheated in legitimate situations, as I just didn’t feel I was being treated with injustice, and therefor didn’t even had the need to cheat.

I was playing Spider-Man 2, where Kraven is a major character, when this movie came out and I wasn’t even aware of it. It is also now available on Netflix.

I don’t even know why we talk with other people in companies anymore. We can’t send emails because people don’t read them. So we are drowning in calls where we include the whole team where we talk about our weekends for 5 minutes at the start and spend half talking about what could have been a email. So on top we have bots that do these summaries so people can be sitting on calls only paying half attention to then not read the summaries anyway.

Portugal comes from “Portus Cale”. It was in the general area of the city of Porto. The word “Postus” and “Porto” mean port, as in a port for ships.

Yes, this is right. Saying arbitrarily “better” leaves a lot out.

I must admit that using the business integration for customer support has lead me to really good experiences. Especially not having to call, wait 20 minutes under a ring tone, and talking over a line with very low sound quality.

I wished Whatsapp wasn’t a thing so much. There are so many so much better apps. Signal is so much better and it would work fine for the vast majority of people.

This looks amazing and I need to have it in my life. Thank you so much for sharing

He really is more of an action movie character indeed. It works great in John Wick, and also did work well in The Matrix.

I also could never stand him. I think I just saw him in to many things basically being Jack Black or something.

There is actually one movie called The Holiday, it’s a RomCom from 2006 which I like very much, and I think he does a good job there.

This is the most baffling feature ever. Why would anyone want to have titles translated? The video itself is not going to be translated! I guess it’s because of these auto subtitles that are simply not that reliable nor do they make for a good viwing experience if you really don’t know the language.

Even Youtube’s algorithm already doesn’t suggest videos from languages in which you don’t search in! My youtube shows me stuff only in the languages I usually google with.

And the ads with this ai voice… Damn they are weird.

OMG! This is exactly what I’m missing.

Thank you so much!

Oh yes definitely. We get way to much screen time. And I also feel the same when I sometimes don’t really want to think too much in the evening. I’ve come to not play certain games I deem a bit too much. Elden Ring comes to mind. I like souls like, and I did play Lies of P recently which I enjoyed. But Elden Ring looks way to long and might be a hard game.

I did not know this, and I love it! Thanks for sharing!!!

I watch youtube on a smart TV where I don’t have a way to skip ads. I know there are ways to do it, I just never implemented.

The experience with Youtube is getting so much worse. It used to be one ad at the start of the video. Then it was two. And now ads in the middle of the video. They are also so long! It completely breaks the narrative of the video and is so distracting.

All of this just makes me want to watch less Youtube, which is likely not a bad thing.
