Rofl I could’ve told you that cat was named Oscar

For a five year old I’d keep it super simple and personally relatable and say it’s like a language that two people speak. Except it’s a computer language that websites speak (I often say websites instead of servers even when speaking to adults).

So like Facebook and Gmail can’t talk to eachother, but Gmail and Hotmail can. (You can probably come up with better examples.)

Thanks. I’ll take it.

Ok, so we agree there’s no conspiracy. I agree no one is immune to conspiratorial thinking.

Do you agree that some stories, regardless of how factual they are, are politically useful?

Like a story about Zoran Mamdani kicking a dog might be true (it’s not afaik) and also very useful to his neoliberal opponents. Even thought it’s “just” (and actually “just” I’m not saying ““just”” like hmmmmmm isn’t it convenient — I’m not saying that) truthful, factual, honest reporting. That’s the context.

Where do you stand on the conflict btw?

This is the “I’m just asking questions” wing of … BoTh SiDeS are …

Please I’m begging you to talk like a regular person and not like you’re doing a reaction video

The cry of the conspiracy theorists!! “THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES” “FOLLOW THE MONEY”!

Please stop with this disingenuous strawfolking. If you have questions about what I said you can just ask me.

I’m not fighting you. I’m not even debating you. Let’s just talk.

Why do you think I’m saying the Guardian is involved in a conspiracy? I agreed they can be just doing factual reporting and also that this reporting happens to be useful to people who want to justify the US and Israel’s actions.

That’s the context of how nothing is ever “just” a pure piece of reporting, released into a vacuum only read by 100% politically neutral readers.

You don’t think it’s both true and useful to bad actors?

Nothing is “just” anything. We live in a society etc

It can be true but also propaganda, or just coincidentally the kind of news Zionists would like to see (truthfully). It’s hard to tell.

I think it’s worth including this meta context when discussing the article.

I’m torn between not wanting universal DRM and wanting to break up platform specific DRM.

The string of bits doesn’t have to be part of an expensive blockchain though, it can just as easily be a generated uuid. In either case, the technology relies on multiple parties honouring your claim.

Hell it could be tied to an email address and nothing else.

Yeah playing the clickbait game is one thing, but they’re outright hoping to trick people into thinking they’re another channel. It’s the only reason I clicked through (and immediately backed out)

It renders all the important bits

Growing up with a foreign name for my region this never happened :[

I think you look great

Just make some marks using whatever tools you have. They don’t even have to be visually appealing marks

Correct. I like keeping my money so I would instantly switch to a free fork.

With respect, I think you’re misunderstand what FOSS is. You’re applying business logic to a free, open source project, with strong community support. Here is the Jellyfin source code. It includes everything you need to freely build the software including all of it’s history and context. Here are improvements that are currently being reviewed, most of them are not from members of the org, but just users of the software who want to make it better.

Anyone can make a copy, or a new base project as a “fork” and if that new fork is still free where do you think all the donations are going to go?

Move fast and break things

Jumping on this to add Hytale if you’re looking for pseudo successor to MC

It’s 100℅ a notebook game, preferably with graph paper. But it’s absolutely not a casual game — you really have to study the puzzles

That’s surprising. Maybe we have different interpretations of the word, because I couldn’t find a single thing out of place with that game.

You’ll definitely get stuck at parts, but the feeling of trying a solution and thinking there’s no way it’s this… and then it is that! You go from feeling dumb to smart so fast.
