Star Wars despecialized edition.

In 1997 George Lucas updated the original trilogy with new special effects, and every release since then has been the new special edition.

Fans have gone through a painstaking archival effort to track down the "despecialized" original release in as high quality as possible.

Also r/piracy stayed shut for a while with a direct and easy link to this community. That's how I found it.

If they don't care about privacy and security, they aren't wrong

Yes, they are also as painful as possible for every other browser. That's the point.

It gets better. Their Instagram is canadapetcareusa

Refusing to see a movie their partner wants to see with them is a sensible red flag. I think it would be higher if it was phrased generally rather than specifically about Barbie.

You can use the email for password reset, so it must be stored by the instance. Whether or not it gets overwritten is up to the instance, so it's good security practice to assume it's stored in perpetuity unless you have reason to suspect otherwise.

No, it's very honest.

When you increase the number of passengers on a train(e.g. rush hour), the volume doesn't increase. The size of the train stays fixed up until it hits capacity.

When you increase the number of passengers on a road, they tend to still have around 1 car/person. Encouraging people to carpool just doesn't really happen. So an "at capacity" road still has most cars with just the driver. This is one of the main reasons cars are so inefficient, people are lugging around capacity for 5 people and tons of cargo, but it never gets used even when the roads are "at capacity".

This chart ignores one very important detail. Exercise is good for you. Those bars should be negative since it's good energy expenditure.

If it's faster to get an AI to write your commit messages than to write them yourself, your commit messages are too long. They should be one sentence.

IOS is worse. You can't even be sure that it's saved, let alone where.

Debian. The basic install is very bare bones.

It makes sense that they don't want to maintain 2 versions. What doesn't make sense is that when you ask it for an apt, instead of saying "this package isn't avalible as an apt" and maybe "by the way it is available as a snap if you want", it just installs the snap without telling you.

Email is the only federated social platform that every normal person is familiar with. It doesn't matter that the technical specifications are completely different. The metaphor goes as far as "in the fediverse anyone signed up with any instance can communicate with anyone on any other instance, like email". For that purpose, it's a good metaphor.

I'm not as optimistic as you.

Hosting video is really expensive. Making video is really expensive. YouTube was losing money for about 15 years despite having a monopoly on online video for most of that time and the best advertising tech in the world. I don't think it's possible to make a free competitor to YouTube.

On the paid side, there's plenty of streaming services that are making money. But you have to be already established in order to get a contract. And since you will typically have to use social media in order to get past that initial barrier, it might as well include YouTube.

However, my guess is that YouTube makes the majority of it's money from larger channels. If the larger channels all join paid streaming services(e.g. Nebula) then gradually that may be able to bring YouTube down.

A program is written in source code. However in order for that source code to run on your device, it has to be "complied" into a "binary". Open source apps mean that the source code is avalible, however someone still has to do the compiling. Fdroid does the compiling themselves, which means they can guarantee that the binary in their repository came from the source code, aka it is reproducible from the source code. Izzy gets the developer to compile the code themselves, which means that a malicious developer could submit a binary that's different to the source code.

I will as well, unless it's necessary for work/school, or to participate with the government, or not using it will isolate me from friends and family.

Google has close to absolute control of the internet, which is now an essential tool to participate in society. The amount of power they have is insane, it rivals governments.

Don't hate the cyclists, hate the government. We all want separate cycle lanes.

Block it then. Don't waste your attention on posts that don't bring you joy.

The multiple communities doesn't bother me, I just join both and usually don't notice the difference. It's a better problem than all the communities being on lemmy.world which defeats the point of federation.
