  • New packaging can warn you when meat has spoiled

    Jump

  • No, actually. Spoiled here refers to the edibility by humans (aka the bacteria and toxic waste of said bacteria is below safe levels), and it's no longer living tissue given the animal has been killed and butchered.

  • What does Navalny’s murder confirmation mean for Russia, Ukraine and the West?

  • Ah, I missed that part. To be fair I was only 15 at the time and not that interested in international news 😅

  • An overwhelming amount of booktok/bookstagram (and their mentally challenged brother, bookbook, close relative of Moon Moon) is very much in love with e.g. Morning Glory Milking Farm.

    WARNING: Look that book up at your own peril. You've been warned.

  • Why exactly?

    apparently nothing happened in relations to Russia on that day.

    I mean consider this... using nothing but the concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his own grey matter as paint, and his trusty sidearm as a brush, he created the most impactful painting of humanity.

  • This is the one case where I'd say fuck the "the parent's crimes aren't the responsibility of their children" and confiscate all the ill-earned money these fucks hoarded to compensate the victims.

    I don't give a fuck if Ivanka goes destitute, if Don Jr can't fuel his coke habit, and so on, they were part of his crime organisation, they helped the orange twat cover up his child raping and murdering, they can pay for it too.

  • Local print shop that deals with large/poster prints. They'll usually be happy with a high enough resolution PNG, and can advise you on what's the best way to print in the physical size you want - what material to print onto, what printing approach to use, what finish to do, how to frame it, etc.

  • You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

    Jump

  • At that point, why bother with the setup of samba shares and nextcloud or syncthing or whatever else and not use VaultWarden with its built in sync over WireGuard/TailScale?

    Jump

  • So, absolutely no difference in security compared to having a properly secured self-hosted VaultWarden instance. Gotcha.

  • How do you recommend people sync between devices? What about devices that, for security reasons, do not allow flash drives or any external device to be plugged in?

  • Often this is because neither streaming nor selling physical media is "worth it" for the parent company. Setting up even a simplified BD release takes tons of money because it's not as simple as the copyright owner taking ready to use final renditions and burning it to a disk, there's a whole process that goes into taking the masters and getting the highest possible quality digital copies off them, encoding appropriately for the disks, etc., and that's not even mentioning the physical production of the disks, cases, booklets, etc., and getting a distribution deal with the right sellers and so on. What seems like a no brainer "you have a product, I want to buy that product, sell me that product" isn't so simple after all.

    Same goes for streaming albeit differently. The rights owner needs to create a streaming compatible release from the master (or sometimes even from the existing physical copy masters!), pay residuals after every playback, AND it has to bring new viewers to the platform for it to be profitable. Adding content just because existing users demand it - users who will 95-99% of the time will still stick with the platform even if they don't get what they want - is not profitable, as it brings in no extra revenue.

    Then there's licensing. A lot of TV shows and movies are stuck in perpetual licensing hell because even though the trademark and franchise ownership lies with one company, long term rights usage has been sold to third parties as a way to have the IP generate revenue. Foe example, Paramount didn't start their own streaming for years because all their IP has been sold for 5-7 year terms to e.g. Netflix. Why start a platform if you can literally not put your own product there? Or take HBO - since all Warner Brothers licensing was done in 10 year exclusive blocks with SkyTV, HBO (Go, Max, Plus, etc.) literally couldn't enter the UK market because ALL the content was licensed out to another company who was promised exclusive rights within the UK for that time period...

    I fully agree that going after piracy when you're not willing to provide your content for legal procurement, is a bit hypocritical, and shouldn't be a thing.

  • 'We will discriminate': Elon Musk-backed Restore Britain party launches with hard-right vision

  • There isn’t one because half the population has been successfully misled to believe that anything even remotely left-wing is the devil itself and thus must be destroyed. Except when it directly benefits them of course.

    The only borderline viable leftist thing of recent years is Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party, which, even prior to official formation, has devolved into tankies trying to out-tankie each other while stifling any meaningful conversation and debate.

  • Tom Homan: Minnesota should say "thank you" for DHS operation

    Jump

  • So, I've been sick for the past two weeks. Flu-like shit but it took me down like nothing else, even worse than the time I had COVID. For this period of time, since I'm very much NOT a mouth breather, I've been waking up 3 to 8 times a night feeling like I'm suffocating, because my nose gets so clogged up overnight.

    I truly wish that Homan experience this ever single night until his death. To wake up every hour, and for long minutes sit there in the belief that this is the end, that he drew his last breath, to be afraid of even going to sleep...

  • Do you reckon more blowjobs are given by straight women, or gay men?

    Jump

  • Yep, as a bi guy, I can attest to the efficiency of gay hookup/sex life culture in general.

    As a man, you'll have two very different experiences if you go to a dedicated straight hookup app vs, say, Grindr or Sniffies.

    With women, it is a whole process of ensuring that both of you are looking for the other, even if it's a one night stand. Physical attraction, being charming, non-threatening, tons of requirements. At one point I missed my chance with a girl because she liked being read poetry to after a hookup, and I was apparently reading the wrong poets at the time.

    With men? Even if you catfish them, 7-8 out of 10 will still have sex with you. You can literally post 10 year old pics, be 50-70kg heavier and still not a problem - meanwhile I had women call me out for using a roughly year and half old pic, and since I've lost weight and shaved off my beard, I looked slightly different...

    With apps like Grindr you can quite literally find a sex partner in 5 to 10 minutes. Start a few chats, send the appropriate pictures, agree on a time and who's bringing what, and you're good to go.

  • What dating apps are really optimizing. Hint: it isn’t love

  • True but we're talking about dating apps meant for the general public, not a hookup/ONS/poly dating app.

  • Also let's not forget, the US hasn't won a single war since WW2 (and even that was due to them staying out of the conflict for like 2/3 of it, supplying both sides, then providing bare minimum support on the western theatre and proclaiming themselves winners after the Red Army took Berlin). At least not in the traditional sense of the word.

    But since the US cannot be a loser they've redefined winning as "couldn't actually achieve victory, pouted and stomped it's feet, then withdrew and proclaimed itself a winner".
