Wasn't the title originally the book her mother wrote?

CD-RW was the lifeblood of my mp3-discman, i just loved to be able to add songs i just discovered!

wait for a rainy day, no watering needed!

I agree fully, but would say billionaires are fat cells

And that is exactly the situation in Russia: it's an

  • right-nationalist ("rescuing" suppressed people from the evil Ukraine - that one is super ironic because it's exactly the same argumentation Germany used with the Sudetendeutsche)
  • authoritarian (arrests for holding up empty pieces of paper, drafting for the war - but only in the poor areas far away from Moscow) regime
  • centered on cultural identity (anti-gay laws, "restoring the CCCP", persisting propaganda comparing the Ukraine war with WW2, "we have to defend ourselves from NATO)

It's pretty late, so i don't repeat the exercise for China or bring up more examples - i'm pretty sure that if you try to counter my points someone else will give you more examples.

You ignore 50% of the political compass here - authoritarianism sucks just as much as fascism or unbridled capitalism.

but the only way to break through this is to change the platform. Since both of them already keep their posts equal on both sites, it makes switching easier for everyone; removing their content from Xitter would be an incentive for others to switch.

The ideal way would be to try and band together a large amount of "regular posters" and completely switch on an agreed date together; that would have a pull effect for others to do the same.

It seems that multiple people don't get what you are trying to say, and i would really like to know. if you have the time, could you elaborate?

and we are talking about reasons why people are still there - those two aren't one, because you can read their posts somewhere else too. Except if you meant that people are still there because those two are still there.

It does not restrict them per se, it's just that the mechanics of what to show you are either simply based on posting time, or amount of "interactions" or "interactions/time" or similar simple algorithms. It would be possible to analyze posts for specific content and show you for example ragebait only, but i doubt that pull request would be accepted - you would probably have to make a fork of your fediverse platform and implement it there.

I did something similar, was deep in the gothic scene at the time, put on my best makeup and goth bling, came with my equally goth gf, and behaved pretty out of it. My school time was hell, so it was fair retribution.

A Nobara Linux Desktop running KDE Plasma 6 with system stats using a vaporwave color scheme on the left, a drop-down terminal named Yakuake showing neofetch, a completely borderless browser window showing a Deezer web app on the center bottom, and weather and audio widgets on the right. The desktop background is animated with a wallpaper engine plugin, showing a cyberpunk city with the silhouettes of a few people rummaging through a giant heap of tech scraps, with one figure standing on top and looking into the bright city lights. Light fog is moving over the scene while it rains.

Seedbox: how to start? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi people! I have been pirating for myself for over 30 years now, and with the ever growing size of warez and the laughable upstream limit my ISP has, i have come to the point where it's not practical to maintain a 1:1 ratio for all torrents anymore - my active torrent list keeps growing beyond practical limits, and i'm someone who wants to keep sharing things for the people after me, esp. torrents with low amounts of seeds.

I'm pretty sure that i know more than i think i do, but i would be happy about a few pointers to get started with a seedbox. i have beginner linux skills, advanced user skills, and not shy of reading manuals on how to get things to work. i have not tinkered with docker much yet, but i'm willing to learn.

Edit: From what i've learned and seen i tend towards an dedicated server since i might want to host other services for myself too, so suggestions for what hoster to look at are welcome!

 
 

Hi, i didn't find anything using the search, so i just wanted to know if any issues are known causing those error messages, which need a few reloads to resolve; additionally, voting on an post often takes 2, sometimes 5 or more tries.

i already tried:

  • logged in/out
  • with my VPN(Mullvad, on by default) and without
  • Firefox / Vivaldi / Edge
  • wired / wireless

and before i get into the weeds with the abyssmal support of my ISP i wanted to know if any of you have encountered the same issues.
