My personal interpretation was the guy is just overly tan and potentially covered in mud, because he’s so tough and runs around on battlegrounds all day long.
Well, and the color palette is gray-brown in general, because we had an abundance of those, especially military shooters in the early HD era.
But yeah, who knows, could also be that the post originated from 4chan or the like and is just racist.
Earlier today, I signed up to a service and immediately got the “Become a member” badge.
Well, and I had signed up to upvote an existing post, so I also got the “Team player” badge in the same moment, for that singular upvote I had made…
I like not being particularly recognizable. Treat me like everyone else that you don’t know.
Hmm, well no, but don’t you still risk being banned or at least being hidden away by the Algorithm™, if such scandalous thing as a nipple is to be seen?
I’m not sure now, if she actually said this is why she’s on PeerTube. Could also be that other social media platforms pissed her off and then she found a new home on the fediverse.
…just remembered, she recently posted a video, where she’s unboxing a Mastodon plush and figured, maybe she says something there, and yeah: Apparently, she got banned from Instagram a whole bunch of times, so now she’s self-hosting Masto and then evidentally also PeerTube.
Yeah, Lety does some NSFW-adjacent videos, which YouTube is too stuck up for.
Most of the stuff posted to video.thepolarbear.co.uk is.
The guy who hosts the PeerTube instance, Hamish, is hardline anti-big-tech, I believe. Whereas Chris Were and Drew / uoou are mostly just tired of YouTube commenters. Well, and there’s some other folks, who occasionally post there, where I don’t know, whether they post to YouTube, too.
That is, like, genuinely an advantage, though. At $ DAYJOB, we have a project that spans embedded, backend, web frontend and CLI, and for all of these, Rust is decent.
Like, I can see why a frontend dev would want to use HTML+CSS+JS/TS (rather than HTML+CSS+Rust), mainly because the massive ecosystem of JS components makes you more productive.
But you pretty much won’t ever develop a web frontend without an accompanying backend, and then being able to use the same language-expertise, libraries, utility functions and model types, that is also a big boost to productivity, especially if you won’t have a dedicated frontend dev anyways.
Realizing that also made me understand why people subject themselves to NodeJS for their backend, which has the same advantage, just with the big ecosystem in the frontend and the small ecosystem in the backend.
I think, my brain broke from reading “fun science fact” followed up by “the North Pole elves”…
I enjoy how “turd” rhymes with “bird”…
Do you mean 36 = 18 there? Otherwise, I’m very confused. 😅
Yeah, when I found the meme template, it did say that, too, but I wasn’t sure if that information is actually helpful to someone reading alt text. Personally, I only know the guy from the memes. 😅
Yeah, I tried it in my other comment, and at first it started with “I think, folks…” which was already a dead end, because any continuation I tried would eventually need a “they”. Kind of wild that something as basic as plural can fuck you up. 😅
I think, you usually post, if you got a thing to say. And thus you want to say that thing, not look for formulations all day long…
Mastodon instance where you can’t post the letter “e”: https://oulipo.social/public/local 🙃
But what if your kink is personal attention?
Yeah, I’ve considered setting up a scrappy rsync solution, because Syncthing felt like overkill for that use-case and like it might stop working one day.
There’s the Syncopoli app on F-Droid, which hasn’t been updated in three years, but it seems to just be a thin wrapper around rsync, which has been stable for decades, so I still kind of trust it more to continue working. Or at the very least, if I need to fix something or update the app myself, I feel like I’ll be able to do it.
To my knowledge, the only problem was that there was no communication about the handover. If there had been a post on the original repo with reasoning for Catfriend stepping down, instead of the repo just disappearing (from what I heard), there would’ve been no drama…
Admittedly, I did not look into it too deeply, though.
On KDE, it’s just one of the suggestions, I believe, that you could search this term on the web. If you trigger that suggestion, it then opens the web browser to do the search.
As such, searching “terminal” wouldn’t yield a suggestion from a web result that matches, but I’m pretty sure applications are prioritized above other results either way.
A few years ago, I set up a home-server with music and some pictures on there, and recently I noticed that my storage disk was getting full. Then I saw that the disk only had 16 GB and wondered, where the hell I got that small of a disk from.
So, I go to plug in a bigger disk and can’t even find the original disk at first. Turns out my whole storage capacity was one of these bad boys:
And yeah, I’ve got about 1800 songs, clocking in at 5.8 GB, so even that tiny storage would easily be enough for a much larger collection.
And I do also have them replicated on my phone, for listening on the go. (Don’t even need an SD card in my case.)
