That makes perfect sense

One of my favorite things about Pixelfed is being able to view a feed of only particular hashtags.

Would be way cooler if they couldn’t collect it.

I think this comment has the most downvotes I’ve ever seen on Lemmy…

Yeah that is problem. It did just make me think though: I read recently about a UK project to build a solar farm in the Moroccan desert the size of greater London and lay undersea cables all the way back to southwest England. They claim it will be half the cost of the new Hinkley C reactor, which is just up the road and that includes building from scratch the ship to lay the cables. Now, instead of having this solar farm to the south, in a similar timezone, what if it could be to the east or west? There is already an international grid in this part of the world, so perhaps if it was extended, there could be renewable energy coming in from wherever, whenever it was being produced. The sun is usually out and the wind blowing somewhere. That would reduce the burden of storage. It would also require a high level of cooperation and trust, which has its pros and cons.

I’m actually quite glad about this. Currently Pixelfed is absolutely beautiful, without me having to do any blocking at all. I don’t want spammy low-key commercial posts to start showing up on it, turning me cynical and sour trying to work out who is legit on it. The whole culture of mainstream social media is based on people commodifying themselves, whereas Pixelfed is about artistic expression for its own sake. That’s my own take on it anyway. For me, Pixelfed is the best thing on the internet at the moment and I feel protective of it!

If nuclear stops getting outstripped by renewables on cost I might be more interested in it.

Loads of beer and tobacco.

I’ve noticed that too and found it counterintuitive. The other thing is free market economics. I would expect conservatives to embrace moral traditionalism and economic intervention but currently it’s the opposite…

I haven’t worn underwear since 2010 but if I had to choose it would be briefs because there is less fabric.

Excellent, thank you!

OK and did you need to get drivers to use it on ubuntu? Thanks :)

Which model did you get?

The fact that HP didn’t even say anything makes it look less like profiteering and more like spite. Idiots. I’m actually in the market for a printer and from what I can tell, in order to get something that won’t stiff me in some way I have to get one which is really old. And not made by HP.

I haven’t re-watched any with that in mind… I mostly just remember funky animals and singing “oh delally oh delally, golly what a day” and “oobidoo I wanna be like you-oo-oo” with my own dad.

But yeah, DIY is a great idea!

#Daddy I wanna watch something

man ffmpeg

UK:

“We hide your billionaires money”

My kids won’t have access to youtube (or even the internet) for as long as I can make that happen. If they absolutely MUST watch something on a screen it will be downloaded nature documentaries, episodes of Sesame Street, or maybe really old Disney animations.

Here’s a question for you: I have some old Hi-8 camcorder tapes that I want to digitize without sharing them with anyone else (don’t ask!). What’s the cheapest/easiest way for me to do that? Thanks :)

What’s the middle bottom one?

Guess how many hours rich people have to work?
