For people who value reading: if they have no books on their shelves. They might be avid readers of ebooks, or just use the library.

But this should clear itself up with a rather simple discussion started by mentioning a book you read recently.

Yeah, if anyone thinks this is bad, they haven’t seen what legit alcoholism is like.

It would look like maybe 15 caps per person, but they’d be caps of vodka handles.

Looking for drinks where they are listed is a good rule of thumb to find drinks lower in calories than the average.

Not even the clouds are safe!

I did the same thing and have the same attitude. I still watch what few Netflix shows are any good. They just aren’t getting any of my money any more 🙂

I think it’s more common for people to rotate which service they’re subscribed to each month.

But piracy is still increasing in popularity.

It can be as simple as running a VPN on your computer, and downloading torrents through a torrent app on the same computer. Then you can just watch the videos you download however you like.

If you want a Netflix-like interface for what you’ve downloaded, run Plex or Jellyfin and point them to your downloads. Get the plex or jellyfin app on your tv, tablet, phone, etc as well. The app will see plex running on your computer and you’re good to go.

You can keep getting more advanced depending on what you want. For example you can use apps like Sonarr and Radarr to automatically send movies and shows to your download app as they come out. You can also use things like Bazarr to automatically get subtitles. Tdarr to encode what you download if you want to do something like make sure everything works on your tv and a specific streaming stick (eg: roku).

And on and on.

I use all of that, and have it set up through docker on a server which has access to a giant NAS for storing the files.

Meh, humanity is getting what it deserves. We literally did this to ourselves.

I think animals should have more rights already. It’d be nice if they could talk or something to help people realize they’re actually living things worthy of empathy.

But to your point, cats and dogs are already among the better-treated animals in large parts of the world.

Compared to animals who get farmed (especially factory farmed), or get the death sentence label of a pest or invasive species.

We have our place on the planet purely by right of conquest.

It’s fundamentally immoral what we do to animals but people just ignore it, accept it as a necessary evil, or somehow block the empathy from their brain applying to animals.

We all should, though.

Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.

Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.

When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.

So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.

Or trying to drive to the shop instead of getting a tow.

Before he revealed himself to be one

Convert all the empty offices to apartments. Solves housing supply problems, makes a lot of dense units instead of sprawl, puts them right next to any of the offices that have reopened, and would make the owners of the office buildings happy so they’d hopefully get out of the way of WFH (if they’re doing any lobbying or propaganda or whatnot).

I know it’s too expensive to be worth it, but it’s a perfect thing for governments to give grants for since it has so many benefits.

It’s happening a bit in Canada.

Projects are undervway in Calgary and Halifax; others are being planned or debated in Toronto, London, Ont., and Yellowknife.

From here

Yeah, I miss when there was a social media site that catered to just people you know. Just friends and family.

Plain sparkling water. It’s already my favourite one. I drink it by the pallet.

This is like us too. The important stuff aligns, but we have very different general interests and hobbies.

Lemmy should add something that differentiates porn from other nsfw types of content.

Same with nsfl stuff to be honest.

I feel like there’s three types of nsfw content that people either want to see or want to hide all of: porn, gore, other (eg drugs).

Having one tag/flair to cover them all was always a mistake for social media.

How different from water does it have to be? Just not in the title?

Because both something like sparkling water and juice are basically water.

But I already pretty much only drink sparkling water so I’ll pick that one if it’s allowed (if the spirit of your question is “no flat water”).
