Yeah but that isn’t as impressive sounding.

Did you know the wayback machine saves 150,000,000,000,000 bytes worth of webpages every day?! If you stacked 150,000,000,000,000 bytes end to end, they would reach from earth to the moon and back SEVEN TIMES! That’s enough bytes to fill 18 American football stadiums!

It’s not derogatory… and they didn’t call it a “furry movie”, they just pointed out that it’s got obvious appeal to furries which is… incredibly accurate.

Went to a 9:45 PM showing (latest the cinema had) to avoid the kids as much as possible. There were about 30 or so people there, none of whom were kids, and we overheard multiple “obviously furry” conversations from the other attendees, so… yes, can confirm.

Movie was a great time. It’s just so incredibly joke- and reference-dense, but in fun-to-spot background ways that didn’t detract from the movie at all (unlike some movies where they’re all verbal jokes and it just feels incredibly forced). I imagine I could watch it another 2 or 3 times at least and notice more things each time, which is a lot of fun.

Thanks, I hate it.

Antifa Ost in Germany

Aww man, I didn’t know there was an official soundtrack for Antifa! Germans get all the cool stuff.

Couple years ago, lightning struck a tree on our neighbor’s property across the street. We didn’t see the strike, but we heard it; the tree basically exploded. Some of the branches fell onto the power lines and started an electrical fire, so it was a whole big thing. Bunch of people standing out on their driveways watching the police and fire department trying to deal with it.

That thumbnail makes it look like Dr. Evil standing behind the podium.

The headline is a little misleading, no? He is offering for sale 10 tonnes of old rope as art for £1m; the article certainly does not mention him having found a buyer, which the headline implies.

Isn’t the last panel supposed to be a self-driving car? Possibly with a passenger?

The young people won’t pursue a career in music. Why would they?

MIDI didn’t stop people from playing instruments. Digital art didn’t stop people from painting. AI can’t put on live performances.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like AI taking peoples’ artistic jobs any more than anyone else, but I do think this is a bit of an extreme take.

Serious question: Let’s say you hear a song on Spotify, and you like it, add it to your favorites, etc., then later find out it was AI. Do you stop enjoying it? If so, why?

Yeah, I mean, the law is a bit weird, seems far too broad, but I’m not from Denmark, so maybe it’s a cultural difference. Regardless, there was a law on the books, the mod violated it, and is being punished in accordance with it.

He was also charged with sharing over 25 terabytes of pirated content, using a private torrent tracker called Superbits.org, TorrentFreak noted.

There’s also this bit… That’s a bit weirdly worded, though. Did he share 25 TB of unique content, or did he upload 25 TB in total? Big difference there.

Okay, be honest - you’re doing some sort of lemmy ban speedrun challenge, aren’t you.

I don’t think the rest of the world is like 🤷‍♂️ at all, there’s been protests and uproars all over the world in support of Palestine. It’s just that the governments of the rest of the world are like 🤷‍♂️.

If you want a buzz cut (something you can do with clippers and a single length attachment), doing it yourself is really no problem at all. If you want something more complex, you probably want to see a professional.

There’s a Black Mirror episode about a similar scenario taken to the extreme. It’s quite good.

An even scarier thought is that the Bible could actually be making them seem way better than they are in reality.

Would be hilarious if people just kept going and putting more eyes on it every time they removed them.

That was our feeling, too - if we did lose everything, we have digital backups of those documents. The chances are obviously low of having a fire, but that’s not really the point… the intent is to plan for the “what if” scenario. If you want 100% fire safety, you store things off-site, but this was an acceptable level of risk for the cost, for us. You mention floods; these boxes are rated for much longer in water, so they might be applicable to your use-case.
