Netflix has been listing piracy as their biggest competition for a couple of years now.
It is the threat to corpos we think it is. They are using and bending the legal system rather than treating it as actual competition. Which is a direct threat to our freedom.
After setting up my own Jellyfin, i just cant stand paid streaming. It is like going back a decade experience wise with a 90s experience in quality.
Who knew VHS water and night artifacts would still be common in 2026.
They’ve attempted to kill off java several times. It’s been second graded for years now in development. Geyser became a chore, using bedrock for java isnt fun anymore(it ran so much smoother, i kinda miss it). The list of bedrock exclusive features keeps growing each patch.
Not just the streamers, Java’s community is massive thanks to Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and the like. They know that dropping java would just result in a fork to a clone. As the majority of the Minecraft community infrastructure is not dependent on Mojang and Microsoft.
The Palestinians get, or used to get, a lot of of their fresh water from Israel.
This fucks them both, but now part of the suffering are israeli, makes it okay? Making them your martyrs?
People are severely overestimating the importance of AI. It’s more FOMO than anything else.
Wait until you have to pay non-subsidized prices for the use of LLM’s, how productive are they in reality when the real costs come in to play? You could just train and hire actual people to do the job far more accurately with some quality control?
Not denying there’s some fields with great benefits from LLM’s, but writing emails, answering phonecalls aren’t it. LLM’s cant even transcribe conversations with any proper accuracy and as a society we now trust them to make decisions.
It boggles the mind, really.
The LED bulbs barely die. I am still using first gen bulbs i bought over a decade ago. I’ve only had 1 die on me so far. Versus the monthly replacement of some heat bulbs and always having a box of spares around.
Changing lightbulbs is kind of a thing from the past. Old fashioned fillament heat bulbs are hardly in use in Germany nowadays.
Dutch cuisine primarily consists of deep fried food.
Specialities like the frikandel (german frikandel is very different), patat/friet oorlog, waterfiets, kroket, bamischijf, kaassoufle and fried bounty(the candybar). Or this wonderful Arabic/Dutch combination, de kapsalon.
Many people love these foods tho. Well regarded by most tourists.
A dutch restaurant is called a snackbar.
To be fair, mcdonalds in the EU is not nearly the same as mcdonalds in the US.
It is somehow exponentially worse in the US.
I first saw this video when getting my forklift license, lol. It being an official instruction video somehow makes it better.
Zero. Efficient germans use efficient LED.
So are English and French. And English and Frysian. English is a moshpit of languages.
More a happy coincidence that it lines up.
The tools used dont change the core principles which in Debians case is the social contract.
Slop is never going to get through any serious quality control.
If it comes, it comes. Will be a shame. But until then I will happily keep using it.
Wait until they find out AI is used in the Linux kernel.
My homelab has become a whole lot less fun with current memory and storage prices.
Minecraft uses a ton of that. Not a bad analogy i suppose.
