It kind of does work though, Jodel is already a thing and its all location based and getting users close to each other to interact.

Well I guess that shows why I main kbin and not lemmy.world. Absolute dogshit decision from them.

Oh my God, thanks for the heads up! As a European, I would most definitely want to avoid visiting these sites, as I obviously respect copyright law to its full extent! Now I can add them to my (block) list!

Ok maybe its just me being out of touch with the Finnish scene, but I seriously and I mean SERIOUSLY doubt that 40% of the content pirated here is Finnish content. Could, again, be me just not giving a damn about Finnish shows/movies personally, but I don’t even know where I’d go looking for those downloads. But just looking at the sheer amount of content that’s available in English and other languages vs Finnish content, they are in essence saying that almost all Finnish shows are pirated then, because otherwise you’re not getting anywhere close to 40% of that content being pirated. Unless they think that without piracy ALL of those people would be watching it legally, then maybe you’d get somewhere north of 20%. But even with just Finnish content, the fact is that you’d have to subscribe, I think to at least two (MTV Katsomo+ that is 13€ per month so you don’t get ads (which yes, means that there is 7€ paid tier WITH ADS…) and Ruutu+ (that is also 13€ per month, 8€ per month WITH ADS…) and that’s on top of, say Netflix. I just don’t think that without piracy those 40% would actually pay for those services, just don’t see it happening. I think they are way off with their numbers and are delusional in thinking that Finnish content would have such a big draw. I doubt it does.

I remember watching this interview about this guy who had to be resuscitated and he said that what he felt was “nothing”, as in kind of like when you’re sleeping and you know nothing, except turned up to a thousand. He said he had to go through some serious therapy to get over it because when he “came back”, he just couldn’t believe that he had lost that sense of not having anything to worry about. I would venture its something like that, just like going to sleep but you just don’t even know it.

If we assume that all we are is just electrical impulses in our brains and those cease when we die, I don’t expect there to be much after that, you’re just gone and there’s nothing, so there is no suffering either.

Shit like this is why I switched to OpenOffice and then LibreOffice all those years ago. LibreOffice is just as good for my personal purposes and I’m never going back to MS Office. Unless your work specifically requires something only Microsoft’s product can do, I highly recommend LibreOffice, I use it every single day.

Some software just literally isn’t available for Linux. And lets face it, even Ubuntu requires more tinkering than the average user is prepared to do, or in other words, any tinkering at all because they would have to install it themselves and they do not know how to do that. And the few times I’ve bothered to use Linux even as my backup, the tinkering never stops. Its not worth the hassle at this point in time.

Just make sure anything you order is either “fulfilled by Amazon” or “Ships from Amazon” and you should avoid that. I personally don’t order anything that isn’t shipped by Amazon (either through fulfillment or otherwise).

Yeah man, started on kbin and its been my favorite so far.

I’m using FFmpeg Batch AV converter for converting several files at once. Its simple and free.

In no particular order besides alphabetical (all movies rewatched over a dozen times):

• Atomic Blonde
• Bad Boys 1 and 2
• Bourne Trilogy
• Back To The Future trilogy
• Deja Vu
• Eraser
• LOTR trilogy
• Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of Black Pearl
• Swat
• Terminator trilogy
• True Lies
• Transformers (the original ones with Shia LaBeouf)

There are many more, but I’m not gonna sit here and try to remember them all.

Very interesting, thank you for the write-up!

I seriously gotta pick up some of these, thanks for the recommendation!

Its trending in the right direction. July will tell us a lot and we’re gonna see if the hardcore users migrating (the people who actually post a lot of content) will force those more casual users to come here as well.

Hell yeah, I know LJ will put his soul into the new app and he deserves the support.

Its not out yet, but the Sync for Reddit dev is making Sync For Lemmy, so that should be worth checking out in the future.

Bunch of my childhood town is now just more buildings. Used to be more forest and now there’s nothing but slabs of concrete. This small mall that used to be there? Buildings now, just tons of buildings.
