Usual Chuck Lorre series lifecycle. Many are pretty good, for their 1st, 2nd, seasons. Then they should die gracefully.

Didnt he also invent the Tesler car?

maybe children should have their thumb and index fingers removed at birth

How amazing women’s ability to multitask. Meanwhile, us guys can’t go beyond using one hand for it’s god given duty, and the other for scrolling.

You mean, most of Europe?

Come to Spain:

8h breakfast 11h almuerzo 13h aperitivo 14-15h lunch 18h merienda 21-22h dinner.

Because she’s in the app? Hmmmm

Costco, is that you?

I have lived in the US, and have very dear friends there. I wanted to go visit, with my young adult kids, who have never been to the US. Now I must wait until things normalize.

Even though I’m standard European white, and my kids are blond and “dark” redhead; paper white, freckles etc. and we’d have less chance of being profiled, there have been instances of western tourists held for weeks, so no. Plenty of world to see for now.

Humidifiers are simple and cheap. Maybe the cost of a 2 in 1 wouldn’t make commercial sense.

Also, it would probably need two water tanks, as I imagine you wouldn’t want to use the drain tank as a clean water source.

Just guessing here.

I have 2 4K tvs, one used as a monitor. I’m now rewatching some 70’s - 80’s shows. When the intro starts, I’m acutely aware of the low res, but as soon as the show starts, I get into the content, and I really don’t notice the resolution.

If you focus on the resolution instead of the content, maybe the content is not that engaging.

I also think that 1080 is fine for normal living room distance. In my case, though, I use a 42" 4K as a monitor, where I have the equivalent of 4 1080 monitors. No gaming, but for my use it’s more practical than multiple monitors.

Not ideal, but you can air gap the TV from the network, and use some small sbc, or even a firestick or android box. That’s what I do. Stremio?

Higher res matters when filming, because you can reframe scenes in editing without losing resolution when downscaling the final result.

I have the same questions about Stremio.

Because I use a paid graphics suite for profit (Affinity, great and pretty decent payment model), and I’m OK-ish with paying (a fair price) for stuff that allows me to make money, but I’d rather live in Linux for most everything else.

I currently use Affinity mostly in a VM, and dual boot for some very specific things, but this seems to be a way to make the experience better.

Also, a lot of people have paid for a license when buying their computer. I’m OK with people sidestepping the strict licensing terms if they have paid for it.

It’s not “you have pirated it”, but “you aren’t using it exactly as we want you to”

I’m willing to sacrifice some of my valuable internet points here and be down voted to low hell.

I was going to make a comment along those lines.

They are, at the core, an ad company. Their motivation is to make money, and we are free to pay or not pay for their services.

The idea that we have a right to a non essential product for free is entitlement. They make a shit load of money, but also pay money to most content creators. Could they provide a service where they essentially just pay for costs? Sure, but no for profit Corp is going to do that, it has to make money somehow. While I’m all for peer tube, I really don’t know if it’s sustainable.

I wonder how many of the people who demand free access to services donate to FOSS Development.

Maybe some form of consumer co-op, where users essentially pay for operating costs, could be an option.

That’s rich

How is the user experience with Linux?

I’m a Linux /Android/occasional Windows user who after 4 generations of Android tablets, finally gave up and got an iPad (first and only Apple device in decades), because it’s leagues ahead in user experience.

You don’t have to have proof of identity to vote in the US?
