Its not

Ah, I mistook “american cheese” with “cheddar”. The first isnt cheese, the second one is. Those american slices in the "cheese"burger, those that come out od the plastic wrapper, we in Switzerland call them “Cheddar” as well.

I cannot use mobile data with ipv6, as no carrier in my country gives them out.

Freeman ,

Does it seed tho?

“more power to them” it it makes them feel better.

What a funny statement. “More power to them” while it won’t do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.

Just watched both bladerunner movies (idk which versions of them) and was rather underwhelmed. The cinematic grand setpieces i can apprechiate and see how they can be captivating for some but the story (or bith of them rather) wasnt very good imo. The worldbuilding is ambitious but the logic behind everything is lacking. Its just not “realistic” enough for me. I get thats sci-fi but for me it feels more like a fantasy movie like idk avatar or harry potter, rather than sci-fi which is supposed to play in our world/universe but with advanced tech. Things like not being able to distinguish replicants (first movie I just didnt buy. And then in the second one there is a gadget that can do just that.

And also Ryan Gosling played pretty badly (maybe it was the script), no emotions, (almost) no storytelling in his mimic, emotions, in his character at all. He is almost like a wax figure, during watching I multiple times had to pause and complain to my co-watcher about his performance, as it too was unrealistic and too stoic for my taste

Freeman ,

I mean, I get both. Sometimes it felt more like a documentary whith grand and cinematic images of the city and few spoken words, I can apprechiate that, altho its not what I am looking for in a movie.

I suspected that he is supposed to not really show emotions, to show how he is trained/at the “baseline” and how he is not quite human. But I couldn’t see a gradual/fine development nor “hidden” or suppressed emotions behind his cold pokerface. (Apart from the one moment at the memory girl’s)

Freeman ,

Yea, me watching it so many ywars after it came out definitely colored my opinion. Its like that with many “first” movies, from Tron to Metropolis, that the original appeal decreases as the motives and filmmaking techniques arent as new anymore, because of those movies. One would have to watch “generic” movies from that year to really apprechiate the innovative parts which then got replicated over and over.

Never owned leather shoes an all of them had a “break in period”. Probably different to leather but they change drastically the first 5-10h you wear them.

Freeman ,

You sound so very american lol.

Tbh switzerland has a similar system to the SGAE, where there is a “hidden tax” on all devices that you can load with data. And in turn the downloading of media (with the exclusion of computerprograms and games) is legal. Only the upload of copyrighted material is forbidden.

Not a bad system imo, the tax is so small that you dont really notice it so its a pretty consumer-friendly and piracy-friendly solution. Altho I assume the swiss government gets away with it because it would be too expensive to lobby/legal for a copyrightsholder-favoured system compared with the small amount of people (let alone pirate) who live here.

Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

I’ve been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I’ve been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven’t been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists. When I set up...

Symphonium: The best money I ever spent on an app.

Freeman ,

I am 70% sure this is correct, i remember vaguely: The swiss law was written in 2019 iirc. The idea is that there is a high tax on drives/usb sticks/dvds and all such devices. This gets distributed to copyrightholders in some way. And uploading is illegal.

Freeman ,

I’m intact(/uncircumsized) and cannot imagine how you would accidentally do that

Freeman ,

Threads doesnt have that much users I think. Fb, insta and whatsapp do have a lot of users but I dont expect a lot of users comming from there

Freeman ,

Nintendo already shouldnt care about it, as they dont release good emulators/PC Versions anyway.

Freeman , (edited )

That is normal around where I live, because you never know if it will be alice alive after birth. So I mostly see the name in the birth-card my friends usually send

Freeman ,

Switzerland, why?

Freeman ,

Maybe its an old tradition. But I was shocked by how deadly being pregnant and giving birth (to the mother and the child even moreso) is, still to this day. I thought we solved childbirth or something.

Freeman ,

I am very anti monopolies but your first point isnt really a reason. There are many companies that are sistercompanies which are different on purpose. Like VW and Porsche or Dell and Omen. The different branding is normally used to get to different consumer groups.

Freeman ,

Just out of curiosity: What kind of files are you talking about?

Freeman ,

The fact that CS2 feels, looks and plays the same as GO did was the biggest aim by valve and wish from players. This was the goal: Redo the game in a new engine. Thats what they did. We can argue if there are inportant features missing or not, but the same feel but reworked smokes is both a feature which most of dedicated players wished for

Freeman ,

One does not simply “block fingerprinting”. Fingerprinting is incredibly complicated and very hard to avoid. You need VPN, Browser with no extentions and fixed windowsize (tor or mullvad), frequent cookie deletion, even the installed fonts/language packs can give them identifiers…

EFF has a good test which tests your browser

Freeman ,

Are you some sort of pixel oracle? I could not read that, even if my life depended on it.

Freeman ,

But its implementes better for sure

Freeman ,

Is there a !wewantplates community already? This is impossible to drink/eat :D

Freeman OP ,

I assume game ROMs, especially the ones by nintendo, who are notorious of letting their own history getting deleted and lost, are up there on that list.

Freeman OP ,

You werent coinceally seeding a Völkerball (the Rammstein live Tour-Movie) special edition (3 CD box)? This was the music history i was talkung about in the OP

Freeman OP ,

Sounds really interesting and like a good piracy use case

Freeman ,

Because of this I use Pocket by Firefox.

I know that its not Open Source and there are probably better programms but I kinda like it for its simplicity but there are also recommended articles if I have read all my saved ones.

Freeman ,

My Samsung Galaxy S10 has already: The bixby button which opens my calendar (no root necessary) The powerbutton pressed twice: opens the camera. The volume down button: takes a picture.

iPhone once more is just missing options and settings

Freeman OP ,

Thank you a lot! I’ll look into it!

Freeman ,

I have never heard of a feminist…

  • …pushing for more equality/fairness in custody-cases
  • …being against showing men in a stereotypical bad light in ads.
  • …being against alimony payments or fairer judge decisions
  • …being against prison-rape jokes
  • …speaking up for falsely accused men (Till Lindemann, Jonny Depp and so on)
  • …being against dangerous work emvironnments or bad work conditions or bad jobs in general
  • …pushing for more mental health support for men
  • …being against men-only military draft.

It all being part of the patriarchy is maybe true if you want to look at it in this perspective. But I am of the opinion that most of those points would not majorly improve even if feminists would have total political control for the next 10 years.

Because feminists stand up for the rights of women. Which is totally important and good. But will not automatically improve the lifes of men, because its not the aim of most feminists.

Freeman ,

Because if there is then the calls for a

  • minister for non-binary and intersex
  • minister for the jewish
  • minister for seniors
  • minister for POC
  • minister for car-lovers

And so on.

The only solution would be a minister for gender equality. Or social equality. And then there has to be a check, what issues this minister is working on improving.

Freeman ,

I mean that may well be that I havent heard of “those” feminists, altho I hear about many things feminists here (in Switzerland) push for. I read the demands of every feministic protest for example and never was there one of the points I mentioned.

I think your comment sounded like victim blaming to me. For example:

Men die (more) in suicides. Feminists (mostly women) fight against the patriarchy, which is a product by men. If the higher suicide numbers is because of the patriarchy, then “its their own fault”.

Thats why I see things like “the patriarchy” or categories like “the men” or “the feminists” very critically as it generalizes too much.

And back to the OP: I dont think that a dedicated “minister for women” can or will help in men-issues, because I don’t believe the logical detour via the patriarchy makes sense. One would have to fight the misandrist laws like the army draft (here in switzerland its mandatory for men but voluntary for women) directly and not shadow-box ““the patriarchy””.

How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...

Freeman ,

I write it down if my voice tells me something I should remember, else i just let my thoughts wander wherever they want.

After a while I know what I want to do next, because boredom showed me what my body and mind needs.

Freeman ,

Theoretically unions are unionized workers who represent all workers. So they should do surveys from time to time about what the current concerns of the workers are.

At least thats how it works in Switzerland.

Freeman ,

Unhook on Firefox is very good.

Freeman ,

I heard that the wiki foundation is pretty well off and the saleries they pay the executives are rising pretty fast. Havent donated myself but in principle I should, eventho the higher ups are earning this much.

Freeman ,

Probably hard to measure as the contrails stay in the atmosphere for hours and the CO2 stays there for what, hundreds or thousands of years?

Freeman ,

Blasphemy is always funny

Freeman ,

Vote for better policies and laws that force companies to be better as well.

Even if we improve ourselves as much as possible: We still need the products of big corps which only improve because of (1) laws or (2) when losing money.

Freeman ,

In the US, yes. In Germany, Switzerland and every other country with a good election system there are many different parties so you can just vote for the greenest (or the literal “Green party”).

Freeman ,

Just saw the tylermcviker video and it seems like an amazing rework. Like THE rework of a game.
