I’ve never used Rust, but this definitely reminds me of my days running Slackware on my computers.

Oh, hey, I’d like to run this new package. Great. I’ll need this dependency…and that one…and the one over there…

I know it now has dependency management, but I just couldn’t do it any more. I was tired of worrying about what was going to break. I started with Slackware in the 3.x days, too.

I switched my server to Debian, and I feel like I never have to worry about it any more. Laptop and desktop are both Kubuntu, but they’re going to go to Debian at some point in the near future.

Grumpydaddy , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

Looks like two pages at a time to me.

vynlwombat ,

Gotem

xor ,

each piece of paper is a page, since they do the front of one and the back of another at the same time, it’s one page total…

Grumpydaddy ,

One Sheet, Two Pages A sheet of paper has two sides. Each side is considered one page. So a single sheet of unfolded paper is two pages.

RecallMadness ,

One sheet, two leaves, four pages.

A7thStone ,

Is that why each sheet of paper has the same page number on both sides in books? Oh wait they don’t.

Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.

They never said what performance they are optimizing, I’m pretty sure it’s profit.

Yes, it’s for optimizing their experience, not ours. F that BS.

Oh my gosh, wrong ex!!!! There's gotta be something about this guy, how many ex's does he have? I mean if he was such a great catch why do they keep breaking up with him anyway?

Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don’t deserve to stay in business.

Soda is a big money maker actually

benhum ,

They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

eltrain123 ,

So they can sell your browsing habits to other advertising firms and, ultimately, other manufacturers or service providers… so they can badger you with more targeted ads…

What? Why is this this a think.

Anyway use ublock origin with updated block lists and this likely won’t happen.

ech , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

WHY do people think everything needs to be cropped to hell just to fit on their phone. The screen rotates. Just twist it around ya lazy bastards.

Anyhow, here’s a link to the full size video that isn’t pointlessly cut down by 75%: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QThaHpkFVzw

GBU_28 ,

Why care? In a second I’ll leave this video and never think of it again. The key point is conveyed, and we are all done.

ech ,

Because someone went out of their way to mutilate a video for no reason, so I’m gonna go out of my way to make it right. Just because you can’t be bothered to care doesn’t mean everyone else is just like you.

GBU_28 ,

This isn’t a “significant” video. By any standard. Digest the information and move on. Doing otherwise is fist fighting the waves on the beach.

Most importantly, the purpose and message of the video is conveyed.

ech ,

Thankfully, you don’t get to decide what other people consider “significant”. I’ll spend my time how I want, thanks.

GBU_28 ,

Literally name any metric or qualifier of objective nature.

ech ,

Lol, no. You don’t get to debate me into not valuing something. Deal with it.

GBU_28 ,

You deal. You’re the one having a this about a fully informative short clip.

You clearly only have subjective value positions to argue from, and can’t meaningfully refute my points.

There’s no problem enjoying content the way you do. There’s a problem getting angry about a video that literally does it’s job

ech ,

Nah.

GBU_28 ,

Glad we tidied this up. Resume the video!!

brbposting ,

Wouldn’t it be great to have it dynamic based on device?

Anyway, everyone’ll have to get off our lawn.

For the average world netizen…

…OP’s is the desirable format.

v81 ,

Here I am on my phone. I do not desire this format. And nothing you have posted suggests that anyone wants this format.

All it shows is device, not preference.

Anytime something is recorded wide screen my wish is that it remains in that format, regardless of platform I am on.

If I’m on my phone it takes less than half a second to rotate my screen and view as intended, on my desktop I can’t do that.

Also in this case quite a bit of the original was lost, seeing the YouTube version is much better.

You don’t understand the data. That data has nothing to do with what video format people prefer.

By now, I’ve just got a second screen in portrait orientation.

Okay, I got it for documents, but it works nicely for those vids.

This video comes from the official Internet Archive TikTok page. I’m not sure if that makes it better or worse lol!

www.tiktok.com/…/7329355972428696874

ech ,

Explains its existence at least.

0xD ,

The video contains all necessary information and you don’t need to turn your phone. I don’t see a problem here.

ech ,

Ok. Good luck with that.

Fades ,

You could say the same thing about a video recording of a pc monitor. Yeah all the necessary stuff is there but you also lose a lot may it be quality or just more pixels which give greater context to the video by showing more of the actual recording

With the full size recording you can see more of the machine which is part of the main subject so it’s not just meaningless data/context either

Fades ,

I’m with you but it’s not about being lazy, just like shit audio being on most videos these days this is yet another symptom of tiktok bullshit.

Videos with shit sounds get more traction and tiktok wants every video to be scrollable without havin to turn your phone and shit so the result is trash like this getting pumped out which ruins the actual video content

They didn’t understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.

tygerprints , to lemmyshitpost in Dude almost lost his life

He sounds more like DomSadoMasochist - not there's anything wrong with it! I know some guys are into the domination scene, but when it gets this angry and scary I'm not sure where the line exists between funtime fantasy and rape anymore.

More importantly, why are you eating KFC (unless you’re outside of the US where it’s actually edible)?

SkybreakerEngineer ,

KFC in Japan is actually worse somehow

zipzoopaboop ,

KFC in Canada is fucking atrocious. Aside from seeking out the worst staff possible, they have the worst quality food of any fast food places I’ve been to. Every 5 or so years I tend to forget just how bad it is, give them another chance, and something about the meal is inedible. Last time got a chicken sandwich and there was a chunk of the bun that was ultra hard and they forgot to put fucking fries in the bag, so I had a meal of a chicken patty of mostly batter and a mostly water diet Pepsi.

Skua ,

KFC in the UK is responsible for the only time I got chips (fries) while drunk on a night out that were so bad that I binned them

BruceTwarzen ,

I've been in a kfc in Germany and was blown away how people actually eat that shit. But at the same time, people also enjoy McDonald's and burger king, so maybe it's just me

corus_kt ,

To add on to the list of countries, Singapore KFC is the only fast food franchise where you can occasionally find overcooked blackish terrible tasting chicken. Macs, Popeyes, Arnolds, BK, Jollibee, etc - not even once (yet).

In my opinion even the Seattle KFC is better.

ConstipatedWatson ,

I’ve had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.

I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I’d sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald’s or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I’ve tried both US and EU versions of these products)

KFC in Australia is pretty good. It’s no Popeyes, but it’s not bad.

I live in the USA now and while most KFCs I’ve been to here are pretty bad, there’s one KFC near me that’s strangely pretty decent. Chicken is always hot and fresh and they never make any mistakes with the order. I just wish they’d bring back the potato wedges since the fries are horrible.

The chicken sandwich at KFC is pretty decent too.

ConstipatedWatson , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

Well, I’m sure you can buy delicious fried chicken elsewhere at a local joint (those people won’t block your ads)!

moon , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

Nice, they’re worried about losing ad money and analytics over losing more money by selling what their whole business is about.

Cheradenine , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

They block TOR too. I have never had KFC, I was just curious how bad one of those sites was.

Bonehead ,

Don't bother trying it. It's gotten really bad over the years. The chickens have gotten smaller, and now they cut the normal 9 pieces of chicken in half in order to get more out of a chicken and provide extra mechanically separated meat for all the new sandwiches. There are much better fried chicken places around.

@Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

aparently even Sanders himself complained about the drop in quality since he sold it back in the 60s

KnightontheSun ,

The man was very rigid with how he felt his wife’s chicken should be prepared.

His whole story is interesting. He did not start his chicken endeavors until his late 50’s after an already quite colorful life.

There is a documentary on youtube somewhere and it’s worth seeing.

conditional_soup ,

It’s not even like the kind of phenomenally bad that you have to try, it’s just the most completely mediocre fried chicken you can imagine. Last couple times I tried it (in laws always order it when we visit for some reason), it’s been soggy with grease, not even crispy, and all the oil stops you from really tasting anything. You might as well just slop some bread crumbs into some vegetable oil if you really want the KFC experience.
