- Comment on How do movie theaters work? Which seats in theaters are the best? (never done this before) Also is the IMAX thing actually any different? 9 hours ago:
As a wheelchair user, what a shitty theatre setup. The first few rows are always too close and you have to lean back to see the center of the screen. Although that is a small theatre, so… I’d say 4th row is probably good as a guess.
I’d never go all the way back to the wall in a larger theatre, but that one I might. And I highly prefer center.
- Comment on I know it's illegal but that's a bit drastic 1 day ago:
That was along the lines of my joke - came to post “Fine, I’ll pull up my pants next time!” :)
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Fine, ruin my fun of coming into the thread and quoting from the scene, then. :)
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 5 days ago:
Pixel 8a because I’m poor, but I do like the camera support.
I like FOSS (etc), but I’m not rabid about it.
- Comment on I left YouTube two years ago. Time to come back. [Tom Scott; 1:40] 5 days ago:
Delightful news! I’m glad he was able to get in a good break, and I’m glad he’s back - at least for now :)
- Comment on Revealed: The internal police guidance on chanting ‘death to the IDF’ 5 days ago:
In light of its diverse membership, the guidance said the IDF is “not a racial group for the purpose of the criminal law” and being a member is therefore not a protected characteristic.
That’s a hell of a take.
- Comment on Trying out the meme that The Last Leg are trying to launch 1 week ago:
ahhh, I have to wait to “obtain” the latest ep until usually Saturdays… lol. I’m glad to see a Last Leg presence on Lemmy, though!
- Comment on What is your take on organ donation? 1 week ago:
Joke’s on you. I’m on dialysis because of my failed kidneys, I have fluid in my partially collapsed lungs, and… well… actually, my liver is alright for now, so I guess that might not be too bad for ya.

Your opinion is different than mine. Fuck off, shitty boomer!

- Comment on This happen to anyone else? 1 week ago:
Exactly. Organization is necessary to make progress. But it’s easy for organizations to become about organizing the organization rather than the work/progress. heh
- Comment on This happen to anyone else? 1 week ago:
Frankly, stuff like this is not usually that common.
There is a truism about life, though, that is especially true in the corporate world: You think up an idea and it sounds easy peasey. When you actually try to implement that idea, you tend to run into a number of things you didn’t initially think about.
There is often some separatism and administration overhead that can be annoying to deal with, but it’s a crapshoot as to any particular organization will be moderately annoying vs. extremely annoying.
There is shit in almost every job. So do what you like, you might as well.
- Comment on Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically? 1 week ago:
I use a seedbox. I won’t link to the one I use, but if you add dot eye oh it’ll redirect you to their new site. They run the seedbox in a country that doesn’t force them to give up info to anyone asking, and you download stuff via SFTP which cannot be seen by the people looking at torrents, and to your ISP, it’s just a connection to a server somewhere. So it’s safe.
The seedbox I have even has emby, meaning I can click a magnet link in the browser that opens with rutorrent on the seedbox, add the torrent to one of the categories I also set up in emby, and once it’s downloaded to the seedbox, I can stream it on my phone or desktop. It’s painless.
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 week ago:
Network size will be the main problem. Many many many projects with delightful features have been deployed. Extremely few last because only a few people end up using them. Not to discourage you, but be prepared.
Also, consider how the service will be used for spam. I set up a simple link shortener a few years ago. Like 2015 or maybe earlier. I didn’t advertise it, but spammers still found it and abused it, so I had to take it down (too lazy to create a login system or anything, just decided to abandon it).
Especially an anonymous service will require moderation. Are you prepared to moderate it? Have to report certain illegal content to the proper authorities; and/or authorities might subpoena you for information about postings.
Again, things to consider.
Also, currently, people post to places like reddit and various other places already. So you want to figure out what makes your platform different, better, and attractive to audiences.

1. Marmite! 2. This has to be Guiness 3. I had to look Rhys up but I don’t know his work. I went with Michael Sheen, who I do adore. Dang it. 4. This has to be Frankie Boyle. 5. …Michael Sheen and David Tennant? Please be what you were going for, I’m straight, but I love those two together! 6. Tea! … Ribena? (I know it’s not Ribena). I think Nestle makes a banana powder for milk? We have chocolate and strawberry in the US I probably failed. :( but it was fun. I’m a huge panelshow fan, so anything I got might be blamed on that :) Forgive me if my reply is annoying, as a USian, I like hanging out in spaces like this, but I try to be respectful. But I had to reply to this one :)

- Comment on USA: Federal minimum wage remains unchanged for 16 years, forcing many workers to survive on $7.25 an hour - Business and Human Rights Centre 4 weeks ago:
If you supported $15/hr a decade ago, you now support $20/hr for the same amount with inflation.
For me, it means I’m back below where minimum wage should be. :sigh:
