Interpretive dance or GTFO
- Comment on All 10 TOS And TNG Star Trek Movies Exit Paramount+ For Max And HBO (Again) 10 months ago:
The funny part is that I have legitimate accounts with Prime, Netflix, Paramount+, Apple and two others, but I still d/l and watch everything on Plex. (though I should probably admit that all the big names I get “free” via other services, like Prime, Tmo, etc).

Is this some joke I’m too yo ho ho to understand?
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
Epic doesn’t play nice with Linux, and lemmy is a Linux-centric place. I find Linux to be a pain in the ass because everything else I use, and am of my games, are Windiws native. I click the install button and never have to worry about which version of proton will work. It’s the second worst thing about my Steamdeck (the first is, of course, that atrocious keyboard).
You will be able to tell how rabid the Linux continent is here by the number of down votes I get for saying that windows is simply a better gaming platform and Epics nose-thumbing at Linux causes me exactly zero worries because I play on the OS these games were made for.

I think thou dost protest too much. Perhaps not so much ace as you claim.
- Comment on Lobbyist says Right to Repair is bad for black people | Louis Rossmann 1 year ago:
I still haven’t figured out how the FDA decided that flavored nicotine in vapes was, in any way, a valid marketing concept. I get allowing it for cessation and limiting it to unflavored, but to intentionally put it in a product as a feature? (yes, I’m aware companies put caffeine in products, and I do drink those products - as an addictive substance, I’m okay with prohibiting it).

- Comment on Youtube bans 3D print channel after manually reviewing its videos as suitable for monetization [Louis Rossmann explains the censorship] 1 year ago:
you cannot allow (a) free users (b) who can upload content
Remind us again how you are building something like Lemmy, which allows free users to upload content?

- Comment on The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained 1 year ago:
A PR stunt until they feel things have blown over and they’ll ramp right back up.
It’s less of a stunt and more of human nature. They messed up, they realize it, they put controls in place to prevent similar errors, they get into a groove, they loosen the rules to streamline the process, they mess up, they realize it, …
This is how every single entity in every single production industry works. Financial markets? Obviously. Food Safety? Of course. Buildings and bridges? Uh, yeah. Security? In the news all the time. Submersible adventures to the Titanic? LOL. It is an exceptionally rare condition where an error and a reaction leads to a permanent chance in procedure (though they do exist).

Netflix for online journalism/news
So, like, regular removals of older material and ever increasing prices and restrictions? Oh, yeah, sign me up.
- Comment on "Extreme bargains" during crisis era 1 year ago:
Reminder - gas prices cannot be hiked by suppliers because they don’t own the gas. Petroleum products are bought and sold on commodity markets before they’re ever refined or even removed from the ground. These “futures” are bought and sold and the price at the pump is related to the current price to purchase the product from the commodity brokers, plus transportation and local markup.
There are legitimate uses for futures contracts, but much of it is just gambling and capitalistic opportunism.

Republicans (conservatives, generally) have limited empathy. Relatively few people will every have the need to seek an abortion as a percentage of the population - only half are even eligible. The lack of empathy means they do not consider that it is a problem for them until it actually happens to them. For the base it’s a litmus test which allows the candidate to do or say almost anything and still guarantee a vote; for the rest who have never had to seek or don’t expect to need to seek an abortion, it’s a non-issue and they can cite more (American) moderate right policies like lower taxes and less regulation as their driving force.
- Comment on 🤡 Not in my backyard 1 year ago:
IMO they look pretty ugly and visually mar the landscape. They do so less than power plants and pollution and are a necessary evil for modern society to function. They look cool because of what they stand for and because they are novel (and because they’re new and clean, generally).
I do worry about what will happen when they are decommissioned, as there are currently no ways to recycle the blades due to the way they are manufactured.

I need better glasses; my first read through I thought that was his nude_models directory and I wondered, exactly, where do you work?

Browsing Lemmy is not doing nothing. I’m , um, keeping my head in tune with the global marketplace and honing my remote interpersonal skillset. Yeah, that’s what it is.
