oh shoot this was still going! could you change my ping to @Aatube@thriv.social ? on kbin.melroy.org for quite a few weeks i had a problem where i didn’t receive a notification and i think they only started trickling in last week

that infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del strip was drawn up for a reason

It is estimated that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and up to 10% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

some people would like to buy them

the idea is that everyone knows the idea that nobody owns anything, so they’ll boycott that person with zir rotting fruit and stop delivering their own stuff to zim so this person with the irrational mindset will have to confront that ze’s ostracized. (of course, ze could still steal stuff from them if ze wishes, but ze no longer have the social feelings of receiving a gift.) if there are no apples anywhere else they’re supposed to revolt and take the apples by force because of how used they are to the status quo, and if that person wants ze can start a hermit life somewhere else and ask for people to join zir quest about rotting fruit

glad the asahi project (and offshoots) are still going strong!

this isn’t a “people will manage the commons” argument; “that reason” is property itself which anarchism wants to abolish

the anarchist solution is to abolish property, meaning picking the fruit tree clean wouldn’t actually give you anything besides a bunch of rotting fruit and others will probably get angry and stop giving you the stuff they make

not very uplifting innit

I’m not sure what film of which you can’t claim specific lenses would color them contrary to their intentions.

I would compare the action scenes in Saving Private Ryan to the “action scenes” of Schindler’s List. It tells you how hard all of this is, how everybody’s confused, how nobody knows what they’re doing, how it’s all a hellhole. I would not describe Schindler’s List as “glorifying” the plight of the Holocaust victims. It tells you how horrid this all is, not that you should be part of it.

(FWIW, Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line are often put in the same category of “glorifying the people who fought in WWII”. But in my opinion, “glorify” here means “elicit sympathy for their effectively-forced situation”, and not “glorify”, which I would say is something like La Grande Vadrouille (1966).)

What, you don’t wanna know how much you’re paying? Then I"ll take all of it /j

Goodbye

Waterfox hasn’t been owned by system76 for years now

To me, the main selling point of Waterfox is that it includes a lot of useful userChrome.css toggles. For example, disabling the tab bar and hiding sidebar headers for use with TreeStyleTab.

Waterfox also does disable telemetry by default through using the https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox config

pretty much every war movie

the classics have got Saving Private Ryan, Nolan’s got Dunkirk, Best Cinematography’s got 1917, Ghibli’s got Grave of the Fireflies (released same day as Totoro even)…

for anti-war that’s not depressing, there’s also AFAIK the over-the-top Helldivers

for things that feel “clean” instead of bloody there’s the elegant video game Nier: Automata

Report also appears to be a one-off, unfortunately

oh these are the digits i assure

what does that mean

great thing that PM2.5’s been vanquished. don’t the visibility issues mostly come from inner-mongolian winds of the north, though?

to be precise: not exactly shut down, but made it really expensive
