A buddy of mine taught his 5 yr old daughter to tell people “One time, at band camp…I stuck a flute in my…” *long pause* “nose”.

And he gets joy remembering all of the people go wide-eyed waiting for that next word out of her mouth.

There isn’t even a recommendation engine for video media that is open source and/or freely usable at this point in time that I am aware of. This needs to be a public database which is editable freely by everyone, in order to get every detail about media. Something like OpenStreetMaps; but for audio/video – and a suitable media recognition engine so that every variation of a media file doesn’t need its own entry. We also need laws so that services such as these are clearly protected by fair-use; because they currently aren’t, and get attacked at every chance by media conglomerates.

That isn’t a solution, because YouTube provides discoverability as one of its primary draws. The primary draw for content creators is the promise of being paid via the ad network. So FTP doesn’t offer 1/10th of what people go to YouTube FOR. EVEN if your theoretical FTP server had literally every piece of content in the world; people would still go to YouTube.

There’s a perfect term for that: Crybully.

If someone was born with a chromosomal defect, or something that has left them in a state of not being quite a man, or not quite a woman, I think they should be allowed to elect to be whatever sex they want to present as. These are the people who need these kinds of protections.

If Gender doesn’t equal Sex, then we shouldn’t be using surgery to change people’s sex. You can be whatever gender you want in the body you’ve got; and society should just simply learn to deal with it. There should not be a crowd of people trying to convince others that they need to change their body to “fit” the gender they want to be.

Let’s stop conflating Gender with Sex, and using these pseudo-scientific quacks to change people’s bodies on a whim. That goes for cosmetic surgery too, in my honest opinion.

Yeah, they’re fine. I use RedPocket for my daughters phone because it’s like $120 for a whole year of phone service. They’re often better than the ‘pure’ networks because they can fall back to AT&T when T-Mobile is down, etc. Often times they aren’t only on a single network. Hell, Mint was doing so well that T-Mobile ended up buying them (probably to dissolve them, honestly)

Pedophiles arguing why they like this niche anime just a little too much…

People aren’t idiots. If they don’t know what it means they can look it up or ask for help.

Flip that. People are idiots. If they don’t know what something means, they won’t look it up. Not Desktop Linux users today but, definitely normies if Linux ever comes on a system they buy in the future.

Isn’t this basically the exact thing that happened with the “mouse utopia” project?

Do any of you young’uns remember MythTV?

We blocked ads when they were a part of the video way before internet ads were ever a thing. We’ll be fine.

They made a good example - BlueZ software stack sucks; if Fluoride can be put under a compatible open source license, I’d much rather us use better subsystems in 100% userspace. That’s a win for everyone.

I like you. I’m the same way. Never met an asshole that was being dishonest. That’s why I feel like I can trust them more than I can trust ‘nice’ people.

So yeah, I might not be nice. In fact, sometimes I’m a downright asshole. But I’ll usually give you the shirt off of my back to help you if you need it.

Just sounds like Florida to me.

100% humidity all the time. Temperatures in the 100’s (F) (>38C). Feels like the air is thick and heavy constantly. It’ll rain just long enough every so often to keep these attributes true almost all the time. Doesn’t matter how fit you are, just walking to your car is enough to make you feel like you just crawled out of the swamp. Worst of all, Florida doesn’t get Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; We get Summer, Simmer, Summer, Fall.

It’s not illegal to tell people that a company uses discord for support. You’re not slandering them if it’s the truth.

Any time I see someone mention Manjaro here, I see someone mention EndeavourOS; so maybe check that one out too?

getting support for some services that I use

NAME AND SHAME please.

Wife and I really loved the episode. Given the time it’s taken for Rudeus to get there, I really would have liked a little check-in on Sylphie - but the epic ending made up for that little shortcoming.

I haven’t read the novels or anything, so I’m really wanting to know how big the regret is coming down the pipe for Rudeus. I’m guessing it would have to be pretty huge, weighing the fact that if he hadn’t come, Roxy would have died.

lol I love the ‘anti commercial ai license’ footer that you think will do anything. Such a boomer move! Got any funny jokes to forward to me over email?

And that’s exactly what it should be. Use the least amount of screen space to give me the information and buttons I need to navigate, and get the fuck out of my way. Provide a way to use plugins to alter and block ads effectively, and that’s literally all I need.
