Nice video, thanks for sharing it!

For me the first Ghost in the Shell movie (the anime, obviously) is the standard when it comes to these questions (though it's of course not the first).

Yeah, this has to be satire, right? Right?

Nicolas Cage film 'The Surfer' induces knee-buckling six minute standing ovation at Cannes ( beachgrit.com )

Now, let us all be honest. There has only been one surf film, ever, worth the time of an auteur and that is Bruce Brown’s seminal masterpiece The Endless Summer. Others, including Point Break, North Shore, Blue Crush are cute. Others still, including Chasing Mavericks and In God’s Hands, are so offensive as to count as...

I was wondering about that (but thought that that what you said would probably be true), this would have been very interesting if it just restored nudes ...

Interesting, the name sounds familiar, it's not based on Matrix and they're planning encrypted messages. Oh, you can self-host it!

Love the monk's curious "Oh, what's this shiny object in the sky"-expression, they even have these kinda !!! cartoon lines coming from their head.

Never thought about it that way, so if farmers (at this point probably mostly international big farming corporations) would just rotate their crops, they would not have to buy as much fertiliser, destroy the environment and probably a tonne of other disgusting stuff that comes with mono-cultures, like the excessive need for fertilisers? Yeah, that checks out 🥵 ("It's too much work! Other crops don't sell!")

Mr Bin Omran told his rescuers he had at times seen his family from his prison, but claimed he had been unable to call out for help “because of a spell that his captor had cast on him”, local media reported.

For how many decades has she been saying it? (I'm not saying she's not telling the truth, I'm saying we need to finally listen to her.)

I feel like there is a way to copy stuff from docker-volumes to disk and then point docker to the folders on the disk as external volumes, I think I've done that at some point years back, but not sure how to do it exactly.

I thought intro-skipping had been included in Jellyfin now but this doesn't seem to be the case (can't find it in release notes) … Thanks for the tip for the 10.9 plugin 😸

Not 100% sure but I think it's a server feature, I feel like I've read about it in the release notes.

"Übel Eats" 👌

(Übel meaning awful or bad in German (tad old-fashioned or slang depending on usage?) True for the underpaid and overworked workers especially)

Check out Brackeys new videos on Godot. Haven't personally seen it yet but his stuff was super helpful when we both worked with Unity back when.

How are companies or developers supposed to make a full time living with OSI opensourced projects? ( opensource.org )

There has been a lot of talk about companies and individuals adopting licenses that aren't OSI opensource to protect themselves from mega-corp leechers. Developers have also been condemned who put donation notices in the command-line or during package installation. Projects with opensource cores and paid extensions have also...

jlow ,
@jlow@beehaw.org avatar

I think the route of giving it all away for free and either offering hosting if the project needs it or (business) support is the most successful way of doing this.

I have no problems whatsoever with donation buttons / banners (like Krita does) but I'm afraid random donations is not really a sustainable model for most projects. I try to remember to donate to projects I use a lot (especially if it's for work) but it is another thing on my todo list and not one with high priority, so I don't do it as often as I'd like ... 😓

jlow ,
@jlow@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, very good points. A while ago there was talk about some kind of foundation where maintainers could bill their hours and people and big tech companies could donate. Not sure if / how that would work ...

During the xz incident I also talked about this on Mastodon and someone suggested that big tech could just employ maintainers without them having to do anything for the company directly, just work on the project / library the company uses. Again not everybody would want to do that ...

I'm afraid there's no easy one-fits-all solution here.

And women. Maybe negative pressure aka not pictured here?

What are some free interests/things/hobbies you can do in the city?

I live alone and I'm just wasting away my time here. It's actually making me very depressed to be honest. I do live in the city which makes think there ought to be at least something to do out here. Though I can't really afford to spent money on it every day....

jlow ,
@jlow@beehaw.org avatar

Depends on the country / city but (some) art galleries / museums might be free or have free days ...

Without having watched the video:

For me personally I think a big chunk of why FOSS alternatives seem "bad" is because you don't know how to use them (yet). I spend decades of familiarising myself with all the horrendous fucking "quirks" and bad UX and other stuff of Adobe software and internalsing all that bullshit. When Inkscape had different "quirks" (= ways of doing things) of course it's easy to dismiss it as "bad".

And yes, some software that is mostly made by a bunch of volunteers for free can't feature-compete with a multi-million company, surprise.

I think it would be more interesting to find out why Adobe software is still so abysmal after they've probably thrown hundreds of millions of dollars on it. I recently watched my brother work on a complex project with Premiere and it was almost non-functional, quite fascinating, actually.

Yeah, having good train systems in a small country is easier (cheaper) than in a big one, that's why the one im Austria (or Switzerland? Aaaahhh.) is apparently so good (albeit slow).

Was wondering what the heck "Elevage Legendary's Reborn (Husky" is and apparently it's a dog breeder:

That website is certainly ... something.

Do you know what format the comics come from Amazon (and if they actually have DRM)? I'm not sure if I've ever done it with comics but ebooks from Amazon usually worked well with DeDRM for Calibre:

https://github.com/nodrm/DeDRM_tools (hosting piracy stuff on Github 😘)

Last time I did it I had to use a Kindle app on Android to get the file which was kind of a hassle but it worked in the end.

If you get it into Calibre, you can just convert it to zip in Calibre, export the zip, remane the file ending to cbz, done.
