Someone should do this! There's already this drain-unvlogging-videos. Now I need powerwashing the inner city videos. Cleaning-algae-from-driveway-videos are lame. I want filth removal under a busy bus-stop! Get yourself a neon construction vest and let's go!
Now we're talking!
Well doing it so abruptly would probably cause a lot of trouble. I would already be glad if there was a transitional phase where ip would cease to exist once you're dead and next would only last for x amount of years (not your entire life).
He was in Blade Runner 2049 - more as a sidenode. The film is 8 years old.
Apparently they wanted David Bowie as the msin vilkain. Unfortunately Bowie died. Leta was a replacement.
The Fighter is a good movie. He plays a boxer and Chriatian Bale plays his brother (for which he got his oscar). Mark is still good in this movie.
That happens when a brand is about one person. Musk made Tesla all about himSelf. In a way he was the product - you could buy his cool car. Be a part of the company with that cool weird funny CEO. He posts memes just like you!!! Loom at his funny flamethrower! How random! Hahaha! He would also lie about so many features that nobody could actually believe it was a lie (full self driving next year(tm), battery range etc). So they still went ahead and bought it - and had a lot of sunken cost associated to his cool image.
But oh no! It turns out the guy is actually an asshole, a racist, likes nazis, is an delusional and unpredictable drug addict, not that smart, born with money from aparthheit-enabled-exploitation - who could've known!?!?
now people don't like him, so they stop buying his product.
What is the problem with a BSD-license? I'm not familiar with the different open source licensing models and their problems.
Sorry, are you saying other people should be allowed to "put down" someone whenever they decide it's mercy? Are you applying your example about putting down pets directly to humans?
You know who had a big euthanasia program? The Nazis. They murdered people who were unworthy to live. They killed (among many groups of people) people born with disabilities and justified it as "mercy".
I think you meam something else so please be careful what you are writing. It's easily misunderstood.
There's even the next iteration already happening: Cerebras is maling wafer-scale chipa with integrated SRAM. If you want to have the highest memory-bandwith to your cpu core it has to lay exactly next to it ON the chip.
Ultimately RAM and processor will probably be indistinguishable with the human eye.
How big are your hands???
Something something Brother Dusk
I like to have one around 😅. I like the look and it'll probably survive me
And ogg and m4a and opus and so many more. I have an ipod 6th gen runnung rockbox. Its great. If the harddrive dies I'll replace it with sd-cards and still keep uaing it.
We live in Idiocracy.
I really like star trek as a whole (besides discovery and picard (mostly)). I think JJ Abrams Star Trek is absolutely great. It's a cometely different take and it' great entertainment around some great themes.
I mostly agree with you, but his Star Trek film from 2009 is absolutely great. I say that as a big trekkie who gets offended by a lot of these new shit, because of action-over-plot-or-consistency and bad writing and all. "Star Trek" additionally has all the stuff I normally hate with a passion - L E N S E F L A R E S, constant camera movement, a lot of quick cuts. But in this movie everything came together and made it absolutely great. It feels like if the original Star Trek series is an ancient tale od Kirk and his merry crew of brave scientists that boldly go... And so on. Just a new interpretation of it. The movie in spite of being just a cool scifi sction flick also gets me really hard emoionally. A lot of the scenes - the way they are edited and combined is really hitting hard. The scene when kirks mother is in labor whole his father is in the process of sacrificing his life - oh boy - I prefer watching that movie alone in order to not embarass myself 😅 Or captain pike's speech to kirk after the bar fight. A lot of the themes are about virtues that are just so well done.
I guess it's because of a well written script that abrams could work with. But his style just perfectly fits there. His other stuff is just forgettable. Maybe he's just a bad writer? He wouldn't be the only one.
I didn't know it was part of a series. Now I'll have to buy a few more books :-)
well Einstein was swiss. If it's still a german invention then it depends how german the swiss are.

Still have so many flac files from that.
Thank you! Nicely put. The problem isn't people like your aunt, its massive shareholder-controlled investemet machines that own thousands or even millions of homes. Your aunt probably knows eafh renter by name - there can exist a personal relationship. There's two things limiting your aunt becoming a money-hungry antisocial ghoul:
- raising the rent is a relatively large amount of work for relatively small of a reward. If she raises rent she has to write these 4-5 renters a letter explaining why she has to increase it. Those renters might disagree, have objections, ask for reasons and proofs (like the central heating bill or maintanance costs etc). If she raises the rent by lets say 2% it's 2% of not that much money (with her single digit number if houses).
- she is raising the rent on people she knows. She is taking money away from people she even may like - have a personal relationship with.
So increasing rent is a lot of hassle and her renters might like her less after that - which might be a factor.
Now lets think of the hugr real estate company. They have thousands of renters and maybe hundreds of employees. They have lawyers employed. If they raise rent by 2% they have to send thousands of letters. But these letters are sent by people whose job it is to do so. Tyey can calculate in advance that from their renters X% will just accept the nrew rent, Y% will require some manouvering, Z% might move out and so on. They can estimate the cost of raising rent pretty well based on experience and compare to the profits they make. And with thousands of apartmants 2% is a lot of profit. The employees have no relationship to the thousands of renters. Renters are just numbers anyway. Everything is much more efficient. Also: Shareholders. They demand profits and dont't care how. They care even less aboht the renters. They demand more profit and will just say "make it happen". If thr ceo doesn't raise profits - with whatever means necessary - the shareholders will replace the ceo.
The soltion IMHO would be some progressive tax That makes it basically unprofitable to have more than 10 apartments. And to prevent legal entities owning other legal entities owning apartments in order to circumvent this. If there exists (and can reasonable exist) a personal relationship between landlord and renter everything is alright in my opinion. People usually are not animals to eaxh other if they know eaxh other personal.
They were designed to be repairable! The manuel shows you how to open everything up. I two very similar ones. (465 with a digital memory and a 475 and checked some manuals online. They're pretty extensive.
Idea / Question about tiling window managers


First of all: Please don't tell me how impractically this might be or confusing or whatever. This is like a thought experiment and let's be honest: We don't JUST want efficiency when modding our desktops -- we also want it to look sick and individual and have people watch in admiration -- or something like that. So keep that in mind before dismissing rightaway :-) thanks!
- I recently thought about a concept of tiling window managers. I don't know If this already works out of the box in some window managers. It was originally how I understood the concept of "tiling window managers" before I really got to know how they worked.
My general idea: Everything is just tiles on a larger canvas - with some exceptions everything visible can be laid out as a position on the screen. Also widgets are just tiles placed next to each other. There can (imho should) exist some rules for easy sizing of tiles / widgets, but that's details. I sometimes have the problem of working with one main appli

recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook
Hi, I've got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn't start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but everything was extremely slow.
I've used Gnome for a long time, but I know that there are a lot of other window managers out there. I would like to have one that avoids graphical gimmickry in order to be fast. (I like some nice little graphical details, but only if it's still running buttery smooth).
If you have some tips that would be very nice!
EDIT: thank you for all the recommendations I'll try out a few!

Yew tutorial not working correctly?
Hi! I tried out yew last night and was going through the tutorial (the link). At the end the tutorial is using a link to an external resource. My guess is that the tutorial app shall create a website with a list of (empty) videos that is created by reading an external json-file from the yew-website. The problem is that this doesn't work for me, the list stays empty. I also don't find the full source of this example somewhere. On the site it is only iteratively described. I am pretty sure I have everything like on the website.

Which sequels/prequels/spinoffs made the originals somehow worse?
The Matrix is an often used example, but for me it's the Alien Prequels - especially Alien: Covenant really makes the Original Alien much worse. When the original was released in 1979 it had the perfect Monster. A dangerous killing machine of unknown origin. The missing background of the alien is a big part of its scary mess. It's a blank space in its mythology that the viewer can fill with many explanations. As these explanations are not precise they don't have to be logically coherent.
Covenant (and to a lesser degree Prometeus) wanted to fill this blank space and tell us the aliens origin. But once you fill out this missing piece of information it is fixed and can only be one piece. There exists now only one singular explanation. And its a boring: The Xenomorph is basically a creature with it's origins on earth (because David, who's origin is on earth created it).
I find this hugely dissapointing. The biggest dangers of deep space are all human in orig

Österreicher erstellt Datenbank zum überwachen von Verbraucherpreisen Österreich
Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain. In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. ...
Ein sehr interessanter thread, in dem ein Entwickler ein paar Analysen beschreibt über die Preisentwicklung von Waren in österreichischen Lebemittelketten.

atrach weight to individual communities
I'm not a fan of outright blocking certain communities and would rather have a kind of "relevancy-factor" or "weight" with which i could tune the frequency of seeing posts from certain communities. A factor of 0 would be the same as blocking a community. 1 would be normal.
I am not familiar with the exact method with which posts are displayed in "Everything" or the ordering thereof. But I'm sure it's taking the up votes into account. A relevancy factor of 0.5 would treat a post with 1000 up votes as if it had 500 and there for position it lower.
This way highly up voted posts from certain communities would be able to appear.

Feature Request: Fading Filters - filters that disappear after a while
Using filters is very useful. Though I like them I often fear that I forget about them after a while and don't know what I'm missing.
In other applications that are more structured as fixed channels like discord, or messaging apps like Signal etc I am able to mute notifications for a limited amount of time.
For people who are hesitant about filters (like me) it would be nice, if I could set a filter for e.g. "Linus Tech Tips" with a timeout of 2 weeks. I don't care about this sub/community that much, but blocking them completely because of the recent drama seems strange for me.
Another thing that I would love would be a way to still see the filtered content. The filters would then be like automatic labels/tags that would be attached to posts. The normal view would be only "unlabeled/untagged" items. But for every filter there would be a button clickable to show only the filtered items.

Feature request: A way to move to another server while keeping subscriptions.
Lemmy (and by extension the fediverse) is theoretically more robust against powerhungry individuals because people can move to another server. But if users loose all their data (their liked / saved posts and subscribed communities) when moving to another server they are less likely to do so, which increases the power of the people who run the servers over the users of those servers.
So if there's some time in the future I'd love to have a feature that is making it simple to "move my stuff".

Is this community still alive? If yes I've got a Rust-question.
I'm trying to run an LED matrix display (with a Max7219 controller) from a raspberry pi pico using rust. There is a max7219-crate that I used. But i am unsure about how to prepare the pins I want to use. Can I Use any of the pins? Do I have to set them to push-pull-output?

Die Finanzialisierung der Gesundheit (Was-Tun-Podcast)

Privat Equity Firmen kaufen Arztpraxen auf - unsere Gesundheitsversorgung wird so zur Ware. Darunter leiden alle: Ärzte*innen, Pfleger*innen und die Patient*innen. Polikliniken sind dazu ein Gegenentwurf: Um auch soziale Determinanten von Gesundheit einzubeziehen arbeiten Ärzte*innen, Sozialarbeiter...

Super krasses Thema. Unbedingt mal anhören und mit beschäftigen! Undurchsichtige internationale Private Equity Management-Firmen kaufen gerade massenhaft Arztpraxen. Was das für uns alle bedeutet wird in dem Podcast ein bisschen erklärt. Ziemlich krass.
Schickt das vielleicht mal weiter an eure Eltern, die werden zuerst die Auswirkungen zu spüren bekommen. (Die werden dann euer Erbe in dieses Geschäftsmodell versenken ;-) )
