Was Mint with KDE

Now Kubuntu since Mint discontinued their KDE flavour. (Yes you can install KDE but its a hassle to get everything seemless)

honestly, would rather use a linux ~ libreelec/es based device

android is just wasted overhead when it comes to emulation

as far as i have seen (as a subscriber to c/piracy) there is no links to pirated content and they are very clear that that is not allowed

the vast majority of the discussion is on morals of piracy, anti piracy measures, etc etc

Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

honestly, when reading comments like this i think maybe pre-emptive is a good idea.

Lemmyworld is forever going to be referred to as the instance full of pedos, transphobes and fascists that tried its hardest not to defederate an explicitly nazi instance while pulling this shit with a soft dirtbag left instance that spawned from the chapo podcast of all things.

Like, what a fucking reputation to give yourselves so early on.

and most of the comments are in that vein

you aren’t paying for volume of content available, that would only make sense if you were subscribing directly to reddit or lemmy as you would with netflix, disney etc

revenue goes to the app dev, and sync for lemmy and sync for reddit have i would presume, identical development and maintenance costs.

your logic is like saying that fuel should be cheaper for a 1.4l mini than it is for a ferrari

That said, I do think £18.99 lifetime just to remove ads is a bit extreme, its certainly not affordable for me. That’s more than a year of Ultra without the extra features. I think sweetspot for “pro” edition that has no ads certainly would have been sub £10, especially when im gonna be a large volume of users have dns that removes ads anyway and really the “pro” is just a “one time donation” kinda thing

exactly this, they can control what is on it, give their journalists, shows, etc accounts and it being a self contained hub for everything bbc, while interacting with rest of the fediverse.

Im guessing they will also get more statistics and information from hosting it themselves as well. its a no brainer.

yup.

I’m on several linux channels, and im a mod on a fairly busy mental and physical health support site.

(the latter also has a web interface so 95% of the young un’s dont even realise they are on IRC)

Im on IRC daily

I’m so confused by this.

as in, desktop pc’s, laptops etc, NOT mobile

yeh, the actual utc time is much more straightforward than +2

Working for me now.

just needs “alexandrite” in the header changing to lemmy.world i think, and maybe the logo changing

rate limited and banned from server message for me as well.

exactly this.

The first rule of Fight Club…

There’s a few providers who have lasted the course, some as long as ten years, but they don’t have superiptv.xyz websites, they don’t have facebook groups, or twitter accounts. They rely on word of mouth and handle their business on telegram/discord etc

The other 30% are the COD players currently missing somewhere in Ukraine

You don’t need to use loads. You can access all communities across all servers just using your single lemmy.world account (except beehaw)

Yeah, its sad. one more place dead

Overreaction much? Threads isn’t even federated yet.

Worry about bolting the door once the horse is actually heading towards the stable.

half the population voted for Trump

As a Brit, I can honestly say that neither I, nor anybody I know, voted for Trump. I’m pretty sure vast swathes of Germany, France, India, Senegal, did not vote for him either.

Russia… maybe…

I think long term its a “big deal”, but in the shorter term, the amount of panic among people who are actively switching to another instance because the instance they are on has not blocked threads yet is kinda ridiculous.

I am not leaving lemmy.world for another instance because they have not instantly blocked threads (who don’t even have connection set up to the fediverse in a way that lemmy can share content)

So in the short term (like today, this week, this month) it is not a big deal.

In the longer term it is a big deal and worthy of discussion.

But, because someone says “I am demanding lemmy.world unfederate from meta in the next 24 hours or I leave” does not mean they support Meta on the fediverse :D

There is no indication that they never will de-federate from Meta.

All they have said is rather than shutting the stable before the horse bolts, they are actually waiting for the horse to get in the stable first and then address if the door needs closing.

There really is no need to either defederate from meta, or make that decision right now anyway

I was a manager at a McDonald’s In the UK for five years. Can honestly say our shake/I’ve cream machine never once broke down.

We never took it off early for the nightly clean though, that only took a matter of minutes.

But the regular deap clean, we took it off for that, usually a Monday or Tuesday night as they were quiet, and we were straight up with customers and said it was being cleaned
