It’s really about balance and what you hope you to get out of it (easier to set up again next time? less fragile setup? learning?).

A mitre saw is more dangerous than a handsaw and requires you to learn to use it properly and safely. It also enables you to do more and faster. It’s a tradeoff :)

I think it’s just meant as a way to reverse the usual assumption that it’s a desirable state, it puts it in terms that imply you have too much and it’s not good for you.

It makes zero sense to say we had “all the solar, wind and renewable energy we have now”. Electricity wasn’t discovered until 500 years ago and made useful much more recently, in the early 1800s.

Sure we had windmills and watermills, but surely anyone can see that harnessing the power of the wind or water for a dedicated task is a very different proposition to generating energy that can be directed to nearly anything.

Renewables can’t replace fossil fuels everywhere they are used, but they can directly in an awful lot of cases and more cases can be adapted to use electricity rather than fossil fuel (trains going from diesel to electric, etc.)

So more to the point, what are you on about?

Shit, Kodi isn’t mentioned once in the article. That’s a sign of the times.

I think one theory is that it was central Asian horse-riding societies who started carrying milk on horseback, in saddlebags made out of animal bladders. The motion of the riding and  the rennet left in the bladders churned the milk and turned it into cheese.

I remember also reading on a science magazine’s site this possibility that the first cheese made by humans was more of yeast-based preparation, without animal milk, but i can’t find the article mentioning that anymore.

I like the idea.

Also, who’s not into food, people who don’t eat?

More unfixable crap for a world drowning in crap. Hooray!

I meant Paris, not “Paris, Texas”.

You’re trolling, but no, if you distribute you get the same result:

2 + 5(8 - 5) =

2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) =

2 + (40) + (-25) =

2 + 40  - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17

What du you mean, not writing it properly?

These are good comments.

Supercomputers are not made of custom or exotic hardware. They are large clusters of high end servers.

Yeah, this one’s grim.

Jesus fuck, can we give this poor abused xkcd a rest?

Sorry, are you talking about Parisians?

Considering more people in the world speak multiple languages than only one – multilingualism is the majority – no, we very much don’t experience existence from a point of view no one else can understand.

Exactly. I can’t see this having no component of political strategy and influence.

Trump is going to crash hard once all the horrible stuff he’s (very very likely) done comes out. At which point he’ll be extremely toxic andand anyone “true to MAGA” but seen to have pushed for “the truth” will have good political credit with that base.

But also, I think people like Boeberts or Taylor Greene are true believers, to a strong degree. They believe in lots of absolutely fucked up shit, but they are also unwilling to compromise on defending nonces, which is one thing we can agree on and respect them for.

So, a mix of both I’d say.

Celluloid is a nice take on an mpv GUI too.

The obliviousness to the layers of knowledge and understanding to comfortably issue play movie.mk is impressive honestly.

Thanks for this.

It really misses the point of why you’d want Jellyfin in the first place. Share a link to a film and give people the optionoption to watch it? Read something about a film before deciding toto watch it? Start watching something on Kodi then finish it later on your laptop?

How would mpv answer any of these…?
