Let’s have a vote. I’ll make two replies, please DOWNVOTE the one you agree with. The option with the most downvotes wins.

Right, I guess that’s what turns me off from it, somehow you put it into words better than I ever could. But it’s still nowhere near “slop”, and I don’t like it being slandered. It’s entertaining (for those who enjoy it), it’s harmless, and the smoothness of the animations can even scratch a “competence porn” itch. I really think they’re going for an ASMR kind of thing, and it’s working. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I can also guess that that’s why they’re going for those kinds of subjects in most of their videos. Anything that is even a little bit controversial or political can turn people away, so it’s safer to stick with things that are a bit detached from the world. … Or something like that.

Not to mention that any topic that doesn’t call for cool animations is immediately out of the running. The coolest animations come from the exact kinds of topics you described. Something on the cusp of science and science fiction.

How is it slop? I occasionally watch it, and my bullshit detector never went off. They do a good enough job simplifying complex topics into very approachable and fun-to-watch animations.

I really don’t see anything bad about what they make. I’m not a huge fan, but that’s only because it’s not precisely my jam. But I get the impression that it’s well researched and, obviously, very well produced. No slop in sight.

This was exactly what I was thinking of :D

This is either a fake stunt as you choose to believe, or it’s exactly what it looks like and the guy is an idiot. In the former case, good execution, well done! In the latter case, we can be thankful that people that dumb are allowing natural selection a chance to take them out of the gene pool. Either way, respect.

Surely you can just unscrew it out?

According to the Rust Wikipedia article, it was juuuust starting to be used in real things around that period. Definitely before it was popular.

Good. If you couldn’t that would be a real problem.

Hebrew:

the: prefix “ha” ה-‏

in the: prefix “ba” ב-‏

to the: prefix “la” ל-‏

example:

book: ספר sefer

the book: הספר hasefer

in the book: בספר basefer

to the book: לספר lasefer

So the PCD is centralized, is it not?

Took me a while to understand what you’re warning against. Allow me to rephrase, and tell me if I got it wrong.

The || will execute what’s after it in two cases:

1. The preceding command (in this case the rm) never ran because of an earlier &&
2. The preceding command ran and returned nonzero

OP’s code relies on the 1 case, but wrongly assumed that the 2 case will never happen. That’s the footgun.

Illuminating read. Thanks.

It doesn’t answer the obvious question though. The host (Bluesky/Eurosky, which apparently is called a PDS) is still effectively an instance, isn’t it? You can host your own, but you’d probably use one that’s already set up. It doesn’t seem that different from Mastodon in that sense.

The other big question is, how does the migration work? I’ve heard that Mastodon’s migration is less than perfect. But this blogger says they’ve moved from bsky to Eurosky, and I just want to know how that works – if I have a client subscribed to that account back when it was on bsky, how will my client know where to look now?

Edit: okay, I did a little searching, then after getting no useful results gave up and asked the big data machine that’s making everyone’s lives worse. I kinda get it now, but not enough to explain here. But it sounds like a good system.

Good to know!

Mastodon users can also federate with Bluesky through Bridgy Fed, but it’s opt-in on both ends. This Eurosky “mu” thing sounds like a better way to interact with Bluesky if that’s what you want to do, but it doesn’t federate with the Fediverse.

You just stole a whole day from me

If no one’s gonna mention it, I will: love the Pikachu plush! my mom also has some plishies on her windshield, it always gives a cozy feeling 😊

Probably the wind blew them down after they were emptied, this is a cool picture

I’m convinced that Valve must have been waiting for contact from dbrand. Valve probably already decided what their terms would be, but needed dbrand to contact them and not the other way around. Since dbrand failed to do that, they had no choice but to send a C&D.

What I’m hoping is that they start supporting cloud saves for Linux native games, e.g. Silksong. This is something GOG needs to support server-side, and they’d only bother to do that if they have an official Linux client to do the syncing.
