big fan of “bring a bag of moths to the cinema” (p.30)

you mean a computing pool, like SETI@home since the late 90s?

absolutely no need to make this idea stink of a crypto scam.

i doubt i would have time for cooking at an active orogeny.

been there once - saw a delivery of some big canisters of gas 🤔

No, that’s not why.

does it still stand? are Hamas using the same supply chain of altered pagers?

signs point to no.

real users just inspect the blinkenlights array.

there are several orders of magnitude difference between text-forums with almost all multimedia content hosted externally, and hosting/streaming video.

a big Lemmy instance is a manageable cost for a few well-paid people to run out of their own disposable income.

anything even vaguely approaching YouTube is not.

by analogy with goose,

ceech

i read it as - the Premium money is mostly going to YouTube HQ, instead of to video makers.

Can confirm, at least for Acast distribution, I generally get no ads when I’m not in an English speaking country at the time of download.

However, iHeart podcasts are always absolutely crammed full of ads everywhere.

it’s normal for unstressed short vowels in English to all come out as a “schwa”, which the most common phoneme of the language.

Terrific fun, yes, thanks.

Parties that don’t have people recycling tired old bOTh SiDeS wANt tO iNvADe talking points.

I was trying to help you see how you misunderstood, but sure. Beep boop.

whoosh

Mehta sounds like Meta, Fasbuk sounds like Facebook. it was a joke.

I see you post a lot, and it’s normally fine, never an apocalyptically bad take like this before. So I hope you’ll take this well.

The “West Taiwan” meme and the oft repeated thing about the constitution of the RoC still claiming the mainland is dumb. It’s only because the CCP threatens immediate war - if Taipei changes their constitution to reflect post-1949 reality, that would be considered “a declaration of independence” and trigger a missile barrage.

Only about 2% of people in Taiwan identify as Chinese, and I can guarantee they’re almost all old as rocks, maybe a lot of them went to school when schooling was still in Japanese. The vast majority of citizens identify as Taiwanese, the country has NO intent to “reconquer the mainland”.

You can actually still find moss-covered old fortifications in the hills above Taipei with slogans like that, but they were built no later than the 50s, in the White Terror era.

Please let this “West Taiwan / Best China” stuff die.

I’m Spanish and I don’t fight bulls. I’m from Poland. Also you shouldn’t call Europeans Spanish, it’s considered offensive. And maybe stop saying Europeans eat pasta, we don’t eat pasta.

IBM standard cards are one 48th of a barleycorn thick. I believe IBM measured from the 1932 Iowa Reference Barleycorn, now kept in the vault inside Mt Rushmore.

it’s bizarre without context, but i recognise what they mean - Sony’s headphones app suggests you send them photos of your ears so they can analyse the shape to improve the noise cancellation.

nor decoding 264 :(

a rather annoying regression from the 4 to the 5, especially when the 5 now supports more MIPI cameras where live encoding is crucial.
