Oh they don't? Huh... TIL.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll update my comment. 👍

Welcome to the Department of Redundancies Department!

How can we help you‽

That oven is impeccably clean.

You can press PrtSc to take a screenshot.

Edit: Apparently, rendering issues often don't get included in a screenshot, which is definitely different than I expected. So, screenshots may or may not be viable for this context. If the latter, then apologies. 👍

I think it's nonsense.

The "free market" is never truly free, and if there isn't something holding the capitalist class back, they will always dominate the working class until the system just breaks. The only way for a stable society to exist is for checks and balances.

People in the European Middle Ages (5th–15th centuries CE, in case you're curious) thought the earth was flat.

Woot! You go girl!

All the more reason to avoid it then. I dislike shorts.

Well it's about fuckin time.

Not everyone wants to watch a whole video. Could you tell us your point? As in why you're using DisplayPort instead of HDMI. For what reasons? What made you look into this? And so forth.

Honestly, with the hashtags included and the post body the same as the title, this looks less like a genuine post and more like a post trying to advertise a particular YouTube video.

Because it never should've been made in the first place.

Like the Star Wars sequels, it was just yet another example of

• a mainstream, well-known, toe-the-line corporate Hollywood director who
• is known for making big bombastic movies that are great eye-candy but shallow stories ("a mile wide but an inch deep"),
• who aren't actually fans of the franchise & are thus actually just outsiders to the fandom and thus don't know what makes actual members of the fandom "tick", what makes the content great and all that,
• and because they're not huge fans of the franchise, rather than spend the time & energy to consume, understand, and get up to speed with all the years of varied lore (good and bad), they just go the lazy route, say "fuck it let's just do a reboot" so they don't have to do all the work.

It's easy to say that the Kelvinverse is "just an alternative canon", but that's only because it largely flopped. If the Kelvinverse had taken off, or if Paramount had been stubborn and kept with it like Disney has with the Star Wars "Disney canon", it would have undoubtedly been the only officially recognized canon. This is exactly what happened to Star Wars, and as it stands Legends/EU canon have only largely been kept alive by the fans, with very few exceptions (one of them being the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO).

I hope you like it!

I personally really like the "DTM-08" theme by 11pixels. ;)

I don't normally like mustard anything, but yeah that shit is fire.

All of the Kelvin-verse Star Trek movies and all Disney-canon Star Wars content.

Except for Andor and Rogue One. That shit is tight.

• Google Maps: Switch to CoMaps, they're a fork of Organic Maps that grew out of a transparency issue with the Organic Maps core developers
• Youtube on pc: Not familiar with youtube-tui with mpv but FreeTube is pretty awesome too :3
• Clients for offline music: I like kew (for PC) :3
• Discord: Element is good, but in the interim you should check out Equibop! It's a fork of the Discord client that strips out a lot of the telemetry.

And regarding PeerTube, be aware that if you go into it expecting it to be a replacement for YouTube, you will always end up disappointed. YouTube is just too big and entrenched at this point and it's just not possible for any site to be a straight-up 1:1 replacement.

It's kind of like renewable energy sources: no one method is going to supplant fossil fuels, but multiple different options being used where each is effective the most has worked quite well in putting a quite noticeable dent, even if not a large one, in the world's usage of it. Likewise, PeerTube, Odyssey, Nebula, all the different sources cropping up will never replace YouTube individually, but collectively it will give people more options, which is always good.

Likewise, I've found that PeerTube is great for discovering new content, but it requires a perspective change. Honestly it reminds me more of YouTube in its early days. Not a lot of high-cost productions, but more just regular people putting up videos because they have a passion for it and want to share that passion. For now, I still do use YouTube, but I am finding some great stuff here and there on PeerTube as well. I guess what I'm saying is PeerTube cannot be a replacement of YouTube, but it can be a supplement to YouTube, if you want it to be.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Haha. Have a great day and good luck!

 

EDIT: Markdown syntax.

Because I splurged and bought too many Snyder's of Hanover pretzel bags and now don't have any money. :C

OF COURSE they called them domestic terrorists. That's what all authoritarian regimes call groups that are a threat to them. 🙄

I just got done reading your replies below.

Thanks so much for educating us all on how this is a scam. You're doing good work, friend. :)

Honestly, as much as I want to report this, I wonder if it would better served to stay up just so people see your replies and more people learn to stay away from it... :/

Yes, it stays there.

That's really cool that the snooze thing makes it go away!
