sacredbirdman,

And if you don't pay, the Repo Men will come after you..

sacredbirdman,

Take some time every now and then to consider why you're doing the things you're doing. You may do them out of fear, shame, perceived obligation, to avoid doing something else, because your parents want you to, etc. Or you may do them because they genuinely bring you job, help you in some way or make the world a better place.. Anyway, we people are weird creatures. We get stuck in situations, relationships, obligations, bad habits, destructive patterns without realizing what's happening. Try to stay aware, honest to yourself (and others) and keep learning :)

sacredbirdman,

I use Hetzner's Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper.. like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.

sacredbirdman,

You should be able to do that, you'd just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)

sacredbirdman,

Yup, they never figured me out either.. Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone's time is wasted makes me angry.

sacredbirdman,

Yup, I've started avoiding gaming forums, mostly stopped following news/rumors and hype trains and I've become "patient gamer". As a result, I pay much less for games and enjoy more the ones I get.

sacredbirdman,

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

sacredbirdman,

this plus:

  1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
  2. Product quality will suffer
  3. They'll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
  4. In capitalism there's no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.
sacredbirdman,

I don't need that powerful hardware.. it's the software side that's mostly lacking for me (as a software developer :)

sacredbirdman,

Choir .. how would you spell it? Quier?

sacredbirdman,

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn't also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you'll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it's not supernatural.

What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?

I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it’s pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some...

sacredbirdman,

How to dress for -30C weather. How to get out if you fall through ice into water.

sacredbirdman,

Carry ice picks (more like ice awls) with you when you travel on ice. If you fall through ice turn back to the direction you came from and start breaking the ice with your elbows (no use trying to get up as long as the ice is so brittle you can easily break it), then drag yourself up and start rolling away from the hole and trace your steps back. Also, try to get rid of the wet clothes as soon as you can.

sacredbirdman,

How do you vote for a non-existent option with your wallet?

sacredbirdman,

Umm, in Finland there are sleeping cabins for 1-3 people and you need to reserve the whole cabin. No randos.

sacredbirdman,

Sorry but your examples of the problems are pretty minor and solvable by other means (you can't do much with my credit card details because they require strong authentication which uses one-time passwords). Also, you conveniently leave out all the problems with cryptocurrency. It's not like you're protected in any way. We also do not have any adopted implementation of cryptocurrency that's not slow and super wasteful of resources. So far they've also had the ponzi-scheme problem.. first adopters can become very rich but late-comers get crumbs or lose everything.

sacredbirdman,

I use Youtube-shorts block -add-on. It rewrites the url for shorts and shows them as normal videos (because they are). IDK why they had to make a new purposefully shitty player for them.

sacredbirdman,

Tervetuloa :)

sacredbirdman,

Guessed based on the username but sometimes it misses =) Anyway, glad you got here :)

sacredbirdman,

Yeah, guessed they might be Finnish because of the username but that didn't turn out to be the case =)

sacredbirdman,

Siistiä! Menestystä opintoihisi! (Google will translate the latter to 'good luck with your studies' which isn't exactly right. We do not wish luck as much as English-speaking people do, menestys = success)

sacredbirdman,

Well, when I get thirsty i am flirting..with migraine. I don't have a schedule I just habitually drink a lot of water.. but to be able to drink regularly I need to carry it with me.

sacredbirdman,

Well, I drink decaf coffee anyway so not a problem =)

sacredbirdman,

One of the biggest problems when it comes to integration is that those immigrants were massed into certain places, usually poor neighborhoods where they formed their own somewhat closed communities and didn't intermingle with the local population. So the local population didn't "have to" interact with them and vice versa. So, they didn't learn the language as fast, didn't form connections to get somewhere.. those areas plummeted deeper into poverty.. which radicalizes both sides.

It would've been better to sprinkle them among various areas so they could have taken part in the existing communities, they would've learned the language faster and prejudices would've dissolved faster.

Why didn't that happen? People with more money and power didn't want them among themselves. Classism, racism and also capitalism at work. Government can try to change those but it can take decades.

Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?

I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people...

sacredbirdman,

After getting used to Invidious I think their UI is better than Youtube's. Views are deterministic, I don't get random videos. Subscriptions work like I think they should.

sacredbirdman,

20€ / month, nominal speed 400/50 Mbps, usually within 5% of that, Finland.

sacredbirdman,

On the other hand OpenStreetMap seems to provide things that Google Maps doesn't like a lot of paths and trails, including inclination & difficulty info.

sacredbirdman,

There's a lot of content to play as a free player. For me the most important thing the subscription offers is the unlimited crafting material bag. You don't need it but if you want to be a crafter it will be painful without it. Three classes and bunch of content is behind expansion packs.. all of which you can unlock by buying the current "collection" version which includes all the previous expansions also and goes for like 60 bucks..

sacredbirdman,

Having a monopoly is not good.. I just wish others wouldn't completely ignore Linux users.. Valve/Steam on the other hand is seriously pushing it forward which makes me very much biased toward them.

sacredbirdman,

I would like to add that if you're eyeing switching to Linux in the future you may want to check before buying whether something supports Linux going forward. Also, you might want to make some noise on the forums so that companies understand that there's a growing demand for Linux support. I've been making music on Linux for quite a while but I've always bought DAWs (like Reaper, Bitwig, Renoise) and VSTs (U-He, ToneLib, etc) that already support Linux... trying to migrate a workflow from Windows to Linux could be pretty hard.

sacredbirdman,

So I take it you didn't even read the post.. I guess it tracks with your takes.

sacredbirdman,

I don’t think so.. they’d have to make their own version of server software since you can always read the posts from other instances.. also it’d need to be concerted effort because people would migrate from / defederate singlular bad actors.. but !remind me in 2 years.

sacredbirdman,

I would (and do) pay for similar services but I'm not giving google a cent.

sacredbirdman,

Ultra rich are the problem AND they usually support nazis at least indirectly.. because it's just too convenient to have the poor blame other poor for the enshittification of the society.

sacredbirdman,

I know Windows has a compressor of sorts built in, the audio equalization feature, and I wish there were a good equivalent for this on Linux.

Install easyeffects if it's not installed by default. You can have all kinds of audio processing for both output and input
