The majority of users lurk, and those that comment aren’t all commenting on the same post. It’s not at all plausible for 10% of the MAU to be commenting on one thread. Consider that no other thread sees anywhere close to those numbers, this is unheard of.
That’s fine, the exact number isn’t really important. I kind of went for an intentional highball to pitch this as a closer compromise to how long copyright currently lasts.
I’m all in favor of shortening copyright length, but it shouldn’t be tied to a creator’s lifespan. It’s too variable, and it doesn’t make sense for anything that more than one person worked on.
I think a reasonable compromise would be 20 years default, after which point you could apply for a 5 year extension twice. Extensions will only be granted if the work is still being made accessible, either new physical copies are being printed or digital distribution is available.
But I would also include a clause that if a work is no longer accessible, such as being pulled from streaming services, an online game being shut down, software not updated to be compatible with modern platforms, etc, copyright is considered to be in a weaker state where end users are permitted to pirate it for noncommercial purposes.
There’s an argument to be made that ICANN shouldn’t have made .zip a valid TLD due to potential confusion. But that’s ICANN’s problem, and it’s a bit too late to undo that mistake now. You don’t need to worry that there’s something wrong with a Fediverse instance using it. As long as you can tell the difference between a community and a zip file, nothing bad is going to happen.
Super Famicom/SNES - 1990
Dreamcast - 1998
Xbox - 2001
While Nintendo did briefly change their layout for the N64 and Gamecube, they went back to SNES for the DS (2004) and Wii Classic Controller (2006), and they’ve kept it ever since. So that has been their standard for 21 years now.
I don’t look down at my controller to read the button labels. Swapping them physically makes no sense to me, more moving parts to complicate manufacturing for a feature that I’m never going to look down at.
I use a black 8BitDo Pro 2, dark enough that the button labels that technically exist aren’t readable. Looks nicer that way, don’t need 'em.
I grew up a Nintendo kid, that’s what’s ingrained in my head, and it is a bit of a nuisance sometimes that everything on PC expects Xbox layout. But I just have it remapped in software, problem solved, no reason why I would need to physically move the buttons in hardware.
This is what Switch UI does, in order to accomodate sideways JoyCons.
I think a more likely explanation is that Google knows who your friends are, knows your friends watched this movie, and thus thinks it could be relevant to you.
That’s not :3, that’s :m
Batman’s endless arsenal of gadgets may not technically be a superpower, but he’s typically written in such a way that they are treated as one. He’s not really any different from most superhero comics, not in the way that Punisher is.
I thought Kbin had the most potential, but even after it was reborn as Mbin it does feel like it’s been largely forgotten. Interstellar’s alright, but I’m not super in love with it and it doesn’t look like anything else plans to support it.
Piefed has gotten all the attention now, and I keep eyeing it wondering if the grass is greener.
I’m never touching Lemmy thanks to its devs though.
No matter how you wanna put it, making an entire community dedicated to escalating isn’t really any better.
Elements are defined by the number of protons they have. Hydrogen has 1 proton, helium has 2, lithium has 3, and so on. Everything up to 94 protons, Plutonium, is known to occur naturally on Earth (some in only very trace amounts, but all are known one way or another), there are no gaps to fill in.
We can and have synthesized elements with 95+ protons in a lab, but these artificially created elements decay almost immediately. The highest element created this way is Oganesson, atomic number 118. Five whole atoms were created, and decayed in 0.7ms. Basically, it’s something that can only briefly be forced in a lab. It’s possible these elements may also occur within stars undergoing fusion, but nowhere else.
The table can be extended indefinitely, and we have theoretical models of what the properties of hypothetical elements will be, but the further out we go the less stable these elements will be, decaying faster and faster. So it’s not like these are natural elements waiting to be discovered that we missed, we know everything that could be stable in nature.
Having a dedicated community for starting fights really doesn’t sound like a good thing.
Catching up on old classics I missed, halfway through Cowboy Bebop.
Also the first episode of City: The Animation just dropped, and I’m already going to say that anyone who appreciates animation as a medium absolutely needs to watch this. The only thing better than Keiichi Arawi’s art is the production values on display putting it into motion.
Propaganda is powerful. You convince your followers that some classes of people don’t deserve kindness, you convince them that everything out of Hollywood is part of a leftist agenda, and once they believe both of those statements it’s very easy to spin this as further proof of the narrative they’ve already bought into.
Define what you mean by ‘crash’. What’s been happening will continue to happen, but if you’re expecting any kind of singular dramatic moment, what would that be?
I hope you stub your toe and it really really hurts.
Glad to hear he’s doing well. I had worried maybe the worst might’ve happened.
