It really depends on the content, and that’s the only thing I can agree with. If one is careful to “train” the algorithm to show certain things, it can be a way to pass the time.

I usually watch them at noon while I wait for my food, because anything else requires too much focus. My eyesight is not as good as it was to read the news on the phone, so just watching a bunch of funny cats jumping around is good enough.

I’m no one important, not a rocket scientist or quantum physics professor, so I don’t need to watch dissertations on mathematics. If I’m dumb, the world keeps spinning. I think that’s why a lot of adults have started watching those clips as well, we just don’t take ourselves so seriously anymore.

I’ve been on Mastodon for a few years, and unfortunately all of this stuff is pretty common. It varies with the trending tragedy of the moment, but it’s all the same. Gaza, some African country, LGBT+ people, and so on.

It’s impossible for me to tell which one is legit and which one is a scam, so I took the decision not to boost or spread anything like that. It’s unfair, but unknowingly boosting a scam and having someone else falling for it would be even more damaging to their causes, in my opinion.

Ok, this is both impressive and hilarious.

Wait, seriously? One can’t watch Netflix or HBO or Disney+ on the browser on Linux?

I think some of the text used stolen might be from fanfiction, which is where I saw em dashes used to death throughout the years before LLMs became a thing.

Oh I noticed this yesterday or earlier today, and I was wondering if I was the only one seeing this bug.

Hopefully they’ll fix it soon.

Oh, since you had said “it’s just for displaying photos” I figured you just wanted portraits. 😅

Yeah, where I’m from, you either pass things down to family and friends, or resell them, there’s no throwing tech away.

I have no hope of ever having a normal relationship with them. I avoid talking about myself, my thoughts and feelings, and just nod and bite my tongue. The world won’t change if I make them see the truth, so I’m not going to bother trying, just to bring more issues between us and risk being alienated even further.

Really depends on where you live. If you’re not in the first world, you don’t just find tech gadgets randomly on the street.

Is it because digital portraits aren’t available in your country? Or because you’re not aware they exist? Because they do, and they’re not as expensive as tablets.

Any difference in edition will be obvious in the runtime. If the movie is 1:29:43 in the theatrical edition and there’s a special edition that adds some time, say, a total of 1:47:13 runtime, you’ll want to ensure that the Latino audio you’re ripping is of the same edition. But the English and dub tracks will always be the same length for the same edition. Generally the Wiki articles of movies/shows have the runtimes. Or the fandom wikis.

Afterwards you can just merge the audio and video tracks into one container file (MKV, MP4, etc.).

I’m using Pop! OS 22.04, I’m happy with it. It’s a good distro for gaming, BUT… lately there have been a lot of issues with the NVIDIA driver, and the Linux 6.16 kernel. I only recommend it if you’re comfortable troubleshooting, using the TTY, and doing other stuff before giving up and deleting your whole drive. 😅

For countries where the currency is unstable, stable currency is a way to protect one’s savings.

Where I’m from, historically you’d save in USD. But in the last few years, the market has imposed dumb obstacles, like the paper notes being completely unblemished (something that isn’t even a thing in the US, as far as I’m aware). That’s where stablecoins have been useful for the locals.
