Yeah, they aren’t unbiased, they are more hesitant perhaps than other outlets on the other end of the bias spectrum - but not covering? Covering up? The biggest headline result when I just visited bbc.co.uk was about the starvation campaign.
Their bias can actually be somewhat helpful - it lends legitimacy to what they are reporting on, and makes it harder to claim that it’s “just biased pro-palestine pseudo-journalism” or some crap like that.
I was about to make a joke about “amateur file picture”, but while typing it I realised that sounds like porn images.
Zoomer Twitterbrain word for Avatar.
Well, I am surprised they are that into retro gaming! But who can blame them, that is one handsome fella to play as
And the games were early trans representation!
(Just to ruin the joke: That is short for transportation, I know. But Ultima actually was pretty “woke” for its time, I guess.)
I have the same phenomenon, and sometimes really weird intrusions, like - a few days ago I had a dream of working in an office building, and out of nowhere during work, there would be a drawer just filled with piss to pee into for the employees - but of course it never works.
No sad onions allowed!
OI! DAT PYUNEE HUMEE’Z NO PROPAH KRORK IT IZN’T!
I guess the engagement bait “please contradict the headline”-title is working well, I always want to keep editorialising to a minimum when sharing videos like this, but this was one of those “what they meant could have been made a little bit clearer, and they knew it”-things.
Really the stuff he is talking about concerning that - mainly initial cost vs long term savings and lack of existing infrastructure/expertise - are just realities that are important to address in the political process. He could have gone into more detail considering Munich’s attempt at Linux (LiMux) - where to my knowledge the reason it failed was a combination of lobbying by Microsoft, Conservatives (CSU) winning the local elections, and costs (as well as employee complaints) from having processes be more complicated, the latter mostly thanks to Microsoft’s outright obstructionism concerning document format standards, as well as expertise being relatively costly (whereas finding MS-certified anyones in the office space was relatively easy). Those are considerations to have, but I think more and more, the advantages of Linux and Open Source clearly outweigh that stuff in the face of rising costs and enshittification, and he does talk about all the good stuff pretty well in the video.
Oh no, my tastes tell me I am all four on the bottom right, so, basically chaotic evil and neighbours 🤔
Luckily for us, that seems to be some piss-weak nearly-water coffee.
This made me check on how pixelfed has been faring, since I remember them going through a huge boom recently - and to my joy, they still have a very large (for fediverse standards) community, they even rebounded a bit from the initial drop of people leaving after trying it out!
As just a personal thing, the original mute watching was so surreal and unique, I enjoyed it more - solving the mystery of what is happening from what’s shown visually alone (and some subdued music) - but that is a deeply subjective thing.
you should also get back together with that girlfriend and be on the phone with her while you watch it.
Oh no, I couldn’t do that to her, she definitely deserved better.
That is a possible explanation, although I think it was weirder than that, because I remember checking some “obvious” settings like that afterwards. I also re-encoded the file with VLC media player out of curiosity, where it should have just re-encoded whatever audio track it had, without adjusting it to a specific output device, and the resulting file then also had the same issue when played in SMPLayer (whereas the original worked in SMPlayer).
I might still have both files laying around on my NAS, but I myself at least don’t really have the energy right now to go into a rabbit hole again years after the fact, and sharing them would be non-trivial.
So, I once watched The Lighthouse together with my then girlfriend remotely, being in a long distance relationship at the time. We used the same file, started at the same time and were in chat together.
The audio codec of this (of course 100% legal) file for some reason did not work with my VLC player properly. There were no voices. But it also wasn’t just complete silence, some music and subtle, surreal sound effects came through. None of this was happening for my ex, btw, even though we had the same file.
Talking about the movie in chat and afterwards was fascinating, I only then realised it was, in fact, not a masterful, purposeful, stylistic choice: A major production not just in black and white, but as a silent movie. I also was able to get the essential things that happened and the important plot points, so that is also another point very much in favour of the film.
Oh, woah, that link got mangled somehow - should be fixed now
So you need a non-vampire judge to enter the house and produce the warrant from inside, got it!
Looks good, and should remain visible that way on other instances after lemm.ee goes down!
Interesting, TIL. My intuition when looking at maps somehow had me wrongly estimate California as larger than Texas. But Alaska is of course in a league of its own.
“Own me? Maybe my physical form - but I don’t have to do shit for you if you don’t treat me with respect! Want to edit that file without my permission? Go ahead and do it yourself - take a magnetic needle and open up the HDD case yourself!”
