Eduard von Grutzner painted a lot of monks enjoying beer and spirits.

See the thing is i’m not worldly enough to know what common animals in my country are uncommon in other countries. I mean there’s some mallards here and there, the ones with the green head just like the meme, are those exotic and surprising? Oh, my old hometown has swans. They’re surprisingly aggressive.

What i will say though is that i definitely feel that way about architecture. I quite like the winding medieval back alley leading to a church built in 980 (as in the year), it’s cool; but Americans will have a spiritual experience over it because no building in the US is that old.

I’m currently using a 2008 hard drive and i really hope it has some life left in it because i haven’t backed up the contents yet

This is the magnet i’ve got:

I actually don’t have a torrent client installed right now so i haven’t checked if this is correct, you tell me lol

GTA6 doesn’t release until 2025 so there’s even time for them to make the game great while it’s still the latest in the series.

At the same time, the hacking problem in vanilla GTA:Online is going to get even worse now than it already was.

Overall, it’d say this is good for the likes of FiveM and bad for the vanilla game?

I feel strongly that we should defederate, but i really like your reasoning for being neutral. The fediverse is currently a small community of advanced internet users who see themselves as separate from mainstream users, and the temptation is to gatekeep.

Since 2010 i’ve made three Facebook accounts, deleted one and never use the other two. Active users would be a more useful metric.

It’s been commented on before that, for its size, Twitter has a disproportionate influence not just on the internet but even on politics. This is still the case today because no good alternatives have emerged for the mainstream yet.

Physical buttons. Sometimes an app or the OS itself will fuck up and not show you the home or back button for example.

I would miss headphone jacks but any phone worth buying still comes with those… for now

I was going to use it to lubricate keyboard switches but it turns out that it’s bad for plastics.

I suspect a lot of yall should say this:

There is nothing worse than seeing my own flaws reflected in someone. Like, if they’re a lazy neckbeard who talks about niche media and old-sci-fi while contributing nothing to society.

Especially the flaws i had when i was younger. I die a bit every time i see an unaware selfish arrogant teenager.

And if everyone does that, eventually there will be a main community that emerges and the other ones die.

Washed dishes that had been sitting for a while. There was moist rotten food, and mold.

Everyone reading this, you should try as much as possible to never share a 300 sqft appartment with three male students during lockdown.

Yeah, a ton of people have tried their hand at turning Askreddit into videos. It’s a genre. I’ve watched a few of them because Askreddit is interesting and having this curated experience is even better.

However, as always with YouTube, if it’s easy to do then a lot of people are already doing it, so there’s a lot of channels doing this and most of them don’t go anywhere. A lot of times you can tell the process is as automated as possible.

The same thing will be done with Asklemmy when there’s enough content to support a channel

One guy had geo-IP banning because they believe everyone who is from these coutnries list is an idiot who doesn’t know how to use Soulseek.

You think they told me that? No, they messaged me to tell me everyone from [insert country] was poor and ignorant, refused to explain, acted like it was obvious and i was stupid for not already knowing, judged me for using public torrent trackers; and when i called them arrogant, they said (this is almost a direct quote) “i’m not arrogant, i’m just better than you”.

In their defense, i was sharing the Incomplete folder.

I follow a small number of people, browse the Followed feed in chronological order, and never miss a tweet from someone i follow.

I do not browse For You (algorithmic reccomendations), i do not keep up with drama, and i used uBlock to delete the Trending section from my sceen. I don’t get a lot of notifications, but if i did i’d have to get used to ignoring them.

This is the way. Twitter is inherently mediocre, but it is made interesting by the people on it, so if you follow the rules above you can have a pretty good time.

I would like to, but let’s be real, i had a question about a game today and i went to Reddit because that game deosn’t have a Lemmy community.

Reddit has more people, more content, and more history. Only an actual collapse will make Lemmy a superior alternative.

I’ve been subscribed to Nebula since maybe not day one but day two or three. Good place

Someone just downloaded the entire discography of A Flock of Seagulls, but not the .mp3 files, just the images. Like the front covers and such.

This one in particular is Fantastic Planet. I also have Les Maitres de Temps

Honestly they do it so consistently that i’m starting to wonder if they have a choice.

A common way to do things for tech startups is that they get venture capital funds, use them to run the business at a loss hoping to acquire market dominance, and then use market dominance to turn a profit. I think a lot of tech startups that we know are currently in phase 2, meaning they’ve thrown money out the window for years and are now trying to recoup their investments.

Also, Reddit wants to go public and Twitter already is. This is relevant because investors are animals, all they see is short-term profit, and they use their voting power to make the company behave that way.

There’s a common thread between both my theories: it’s shareholder capitalism. I say this as a lifelong shareholder myself, shareholders ruin everything.
