Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

Now? Like a few years back already. For me this started to get ridiculous when Paramount pulled all their Star Trek content from everywhere, putting it all in Paramount+, their own platform. I think by now this is partially reversed again.

Edit, holy shit, just started reading this “article”. Did someone not teach their AI model proper grammar and language in general? Hurts to read, fuck that.

Add to that its not even the current android version on it. This company does not sound like they will give you updates so a bad availability of custom ROMs is really limiting.

Understandable. I am running it since a few months and there weren’t that many actually. The most recent one is even opt-in. But I get how its cumbersome to check before an update if anything needs adjusting. Looking forward to a stable release too!

You can use it as standalone app to track location at set intervals. But it also has a server app to synchronise to as well. Haven’t used it as such, I only record to a file, but maybe this works for your purpose.

I still like the season, but some of the writing is just so weird.

Like having Tilly instead of Michael finish the race. I know its a throwback to when they practised running in the first season, but its a physical test and Michael is surely in better shape than Tilly. It would have been so easy to get around that by just making Michael drink the water because she can’t take it anymore.

And finally we see why the doc keeps talking about his abuela every second scene he is in this season. She is now a hologram. I am guessing this is setting something up, new tech that reads your mind and makes a convincing hologram of someone you know. Surely that won’t be abused.

There was a second one? Again memes are how I get my news.

The fuck is this. Worldnews first of all? Leave the dude be.

The article itself says it

Finally, it is essential to keep in mind that Pedro Pascal, or any other public personality for that matter, owes the public nothing in terms of their personal life.

Garbage writing. Wouldn’t surprise me if its AI generated. Next!

Don’t Abuse the People We expect FUTO companies to have an honest relationship with their customers. Ideally revenue comes from customers paying directly for the services provided by company.

Good for the Immich guys, but I fear incoming enshittification or a subscription model.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I don’t mind if they are going to charge for it. But since it is selfhosted I hope a fixed price option with maybe still getting some important updates is on the table. If this goes subscription I am out.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I am not sure I understand the issue, are you or are you not wanting to backup those memes? Because in the immich app you can select the folder to backup from, e.g. camera, and in the timeline on my phone in the immich app I only see my camera timeline plus backed up images, but not other folders on my phone.

If you mean they all get backed up from different folders into the same timeline, then yes, that’s a bit stupid. I have a situation like that and what I did was to make a separate account on my immich server just for art I find online I am collecting. Then I don’t upload through the app, although with switching account you maybe could, but instead move those images into that accounts external library. Then share the whole library of that account with my actual account. Then it appears in the shared tab. But I understand that might get too cumbersome.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah, but I am not paying for their food, I am paying for the software that I selfhost on my system. With that analogy you can justify subscription for everything in life, since in the end, people gotta eat.

Probably less than a bottle and cans get recycled for aluminium, which probably means the plastic gets burned off.

Not saying that’s great but in comparison it is better.

Careful. You are waking all the people telling you that it isn’t much waste that those power plants produce and its so easy to store it long term.

The same people that likely would oppose a storage like that in their own neighbourhood. I feel often people from outside Germany forget how densely populated it is, it is very hard to find area not somehow close to anyone.

And I would also never trust the promise that this storage next to my home is very definitely going to be so so safe an great.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Good for you. Once you actually do that, report back how its going. Its easy to post a statement like that in an anonymous online forum.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Mind your language. I can likewise say you only responded to “gotcha” me yourself.

That said, in this case I definitely feel a “put your money where your mouth is” is very much warranted. Because I have not heard of anyone anywhere doing exactly what you are offering. But I knew posting my opinion on this is going to end me up talking about this topic, so that’s all I got to say to you.

Good luck getting your personal radioactive waste storage, would earn you a pretty penny. Best of luck to you!

Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I’m struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I’m looking for paw patrol and it’s scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I think the ones you are missing are just not pirated somehow, no idea why. I have those same episodes missing and I don’t even get them in English. At least the ones from Season 09 I remember, not sure I got similar missing ones in Season 10. Always thought its because they are not out yet in our language but sounds like they are just not available.

When the icon shape is round it might look like what you describe, have you tried changing the shape? Even the stock android launcher has that option I believe, but I might be wrong.

Edit: and if don’t like that it says F-droid in the name of the Fennec app, just rename it? Sorry, I might be misunderstanding you, but those reasons are a bit silly and easily fixable.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Long press on app icon. Rename. Maybe your launcher does not have that.

And that first screen. You see that a split second when the app starts, if something like this is a problem for you to use the app then you cannot be helped.

I don’t know what Mattermost is and clicking on the link that OP provided I only see a sign-up page. I don’t know before signing up what kind of content to expect. Not quite enticing to sign up in that case on what looks like some random page.

Good idea but I am not sure this can take off. But maybe I am not the target population here.

I might not like Discovery for the usual parts, but they are doing a lot of stuff really well this season.

Like showing us a helmetless Breen without anyone having any clue. Love the helmet redesign too, I am partial to the old one but it always looked a bit like a duck. All the Breen backstory was quite interesting.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

part of me is a little disappointed they didn’t go with the Typhon Pact “there are actually five different species all pretending to be the same Breen” interpretation

That would be suspiciously close to what the Xindi were in Enterprise, so I don’t think that would have been a good idea.

I don’t know. Isn’t Tungsten kinda brittle?

Very cool but what it is missing is showing when projects were updated last. I got excited seeing there was an Android app for Portainer but going to Github I can see last update was done 2 years ago. I don’t use Portainer anymore so it is not worth trying for me if it still works as intended.

Anyone here not using an open source launcher after this announcement is seriously learning nothing from this. You are just trusting the next company that either already or eventually will go the same way. Like the dude mentioning Microsoft launcher as alternative, that one has branch analytics baked in as well as far as I remember.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Of course, but when something like that happens to a popular app there will be an outcry. If you are not a tech person you might miss that, but I’d argue if you care about what launcher your phone has and you care about this issue to go foss you are probably the type of person who’d hear about it.

I use KISS launcher but there are many other options mentioned here that are also good. Yes, nothing is exactly like Nova. But lots of other stuff is good too.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Depends how important some features are for you, e.g. read here help.niagaralauncher.app/…/20-sesame-integration

Right now its probably OK, but Nova was also OK for a while. If a FOSS launcher does this and is popular, it will be forked. Niagara won’t be forked.

Maybe I missed it but my ultimate pet peeve of these articles about scientific breakthroughs is that they neither credit a single name of a scientist in their article nor even just putting a single link to the work. I know its likely behind a paywall (darn you scientific publishing), but still!

I browsed a bit through Nature Communications and haven’t seen the article…

Yeah, also correlation is not causation. I know its an old trope to bring up but it is true. You can find a lot of correlations in science and research, they don’t need to make sense.

Not a movie. First season of the Mandalorian. Din is about to hand over Grogu but is hesitant.

Edit: funny enough you don’t know either of their names at that point in the series.
