Honestly even if we just cut out pork…this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

SmartTubeNext used to work, not sure if it still does

At this point, everyone should invest a fraction of that into automating youtube downloads. No ads, no buffering, and $200 will get you eniugh hard drive space for years.

I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts

FWIW getting one of those disc suitcases can hold hundreds of dvds without taking up much space at all. If you rip backups, you can store it somewhere out of the way without too much clutter. Plus it’s a very stable backup for the digital files.

They also have lesson plans if you wanted to teach others: https://sec.eff.org

Though I haven’t seen a cryptoparty near me in ages :(

And NYC is wildly over-policed.

I swear, some people have never met a societal problem they didn’t want to throw a cop at. Meanwhile we have more cops and prisoners per Capita than most of the world, funny how that works…

Dangerous to think you’re more media literate than you are.

1. Not linking a source

Very common for reports or scientific articles, where a sharable link is not readily available. Take it up with the city council who received the report being slow. The claims are sourced, and that source is credible, that’s what matters.

1. “News website”

Aka, a website you don’t know. Nola.com is a reputable local site, but that hardly matters here because the link is backing up a matter of public record— the previous FR ban was reversed.

1. Link to Twitter

It’s funny, what representatives say publicly is indeed newsworthy. When such statements happen on Twitter, you link to Twitter. Shocking, I know.

1. Opinions

Maybe you haven’t read a news article before, but providing the opinions of both sides of an issue is common practice, so that the reader has context and can consider their own position

They also deleted all chat history from prior to this year.

I predict spam bots. It’s always spam bots.

I’m split on this, on the one hand I think universities should set up instances for official channels of communication. It’s ridiculous to rely on some 3rd party service and it’s algorithm to, say, tell everyone for is cancelled due to weather. It has done costs but makes these communication lines much more resilient.

Yet, extending this instance to staff, let alone students, is a huge can of worms. Bring in charge of moderation and web hosting opens the school up to so so much litigation. They’ll frankly never do that.

It’s really impressive how Lemmy/kbin have totally replaced reddit for me pretty painlessly. Any time Ive checked reddit out of FOMO, the content is far worse, and the comments are horrid.

The thing is, meta has a user base 100sx the size of the fediverse, and absolutely no incentive to EEE a project that is very very niche and inaccessible to a lay audience.

So much of my job is email and I was forced to use Outlook instead of Thunderbird a few years back. It feels like every day it is actually fighting me over every small task. Moments at work where I’d formally clear 2-3 messages, I’m now lucky to get through one. I’ve seriously considered finding a new job over it, but I know Office365 dominates my field these days.

It really needed to be a peripheral device at 1/5 the price. World isn’t ready for laptop-goggles.

Pointing out flaws in the country shouldn’t be seen as a personal attack or critique. Many of the victims of America are it’s citizens (e.g., the incarcerated).

Nationalism just twists the government into our personal identity to manipulate us. Making fun of the government/system is healthy.

This isn’t “Americans dumb” content, which attacks the actual citizens and understandably may weigh on someone.

Yet, Mastodon had a big discoverability problem. No follow recommendations, no “highlights” tab, no search practically as follows don’t think to hashtag.

There might be many great artists and creators on Mastodon, but good luck finding them!
