That is the million dollar question, isn’t it…

I found 3D theatre experiences underwhelming and sometimes headache inducing, but watching Transformers on a friends’ TV with all the properly rendered depth was fantastic.

Birth. My life was exceedingly different before coming out of the womb, no doubt.

Honestly a large amount of people would take a vegan option if it tasted the same, had the same texture, was as cheap or cheaper than meat, was as accessible, and didn’t require learning a new skill set.

And businesses would stop burning fossil fuels if renewables had the same portability, same output, were cheaper, available everywhere, and didn’t require learning a new skill set. They can still be criticised for doing so, I’m not sure what your point here is?

1. Create new Lemmy account.
2. Subscribe to news communities only.
3. Download alternate Lemmy app or clone your current one somehow (i.e work profile).
4. Use second lemmy app with new lemmy account only for news.
5. Profit?

Ignoring the rest of your points, I disagree on porn piracy. Not that I would know, being a good Christian ofc ofc, but that scene feels the most alive. If I want to find content from a certain site/person then it is generally a couple of searches away. No private trackers or special software needed. When I compare that to other scenes that require much harder to find websites, applications, etcetera… and it’s been that way every time I’ve checked. I don’t think it’s going anywhere soon.

That’s… almost worse. Ew.

This may be unhelpful, but I ended up port forwarding through my VPN. I seem to recall errors with UPnP and while my connection to slsk.net is still buggy, it works better now I’ve manually forwarded. I had already paid the extra $2 a month to my VPN for forwarding so that I could get better torrent performance, so.

I downvoted you because this guy should absolutely not watch Goblin Slayer lol but I found your comment funny. Keep it up, slayer.

You’re the first one, thanks! :D

Per your advice I got a tattoo of Anna and Elsa 69ing on my cheek, thanks!

That’s my strategy for intimacy, too.

No subscriptions? Sounds to me like you’re deep into a subscription to big paper, old man.

It annoys me more that some apps have no light mode now. It’s not a “one is better” problem, both have their use!

I hate being without stuff I need, so I always carry around a backpack. I just always keep stuff in it so I don’t forget it. At the moment the core kit is:

• At least 1L of water, usually 2L+.
• Hand sanitiser for the inevitable moment the public washroom is out of soap.
• Re-usable shopping bags in case I buy something.
• An energy bar or two in case I have to stay at work late.
• Nail clippers (having a broken nail at work sucks).
• Band-aids.
• A mask in case anywhere requires it, but this one has definitely seen less use over time.
• Deodorant, because sometimes I forget to apply it before I leave in the morning…
• Hand lotion for winter when my hands crack.
• And finally, a charging cable for my phone.

If it’s likely to rain and I’ll be outside longer than 15m I will add an umbrella to the mix.

Reddit video links do not open up a raw video file but instead a web page that loads the video/audio file in chunks. If you want a regular video file you have to download it with yt-dlp or similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if some apps include an embed solution, but most Lemmy websites and apps do not include embedding and simply link directly to the external page.

Reddit video player is terrible though and linking to it requires you to load their bloated New Reddit web pages. Most of us came here to get away from Reddit.

Procrastination.

Nah, you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the girth and texture of a garden cucumber.

Well a good indicator is if I have to check the source code of a packaged program to understand what something does, the documentation is not good enough. And yes I’ve had to do this far too much.
