Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They're one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.

You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?

The critique that there are no Japanese characters doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm not sure how they'd fit into the narrative, and also I don't trust an American director to really do that story justice. They could only ever write an American interpretation of the Japanese experience of the war.

If anything, we should use this opportunity to promote films by Japanese directors that do deal with these themes.

Hello. I was pretty regular user of the original sub before it closed down. I avoided moving to Hexbear because I didn't like the interface.

How would this even be enforced?

At the very least, better filesystem level compression support. A somewhat common usecase might be people who use emulators. Both Wii U and PS3 are consoles where major emulators just use a folder on your filesystem. I know a lot of emulator users who are non-technical to the point that they don't have "show hidden files and folders" enabled.

Also your average person wouldn't necessarily need checksums, but having them built into the filesystem would lead to overall more reliability.

The last update to NTFS was in 2004.

The fact that ReFS doesn't even support all the features NTFS does is pathetic.

It's really not surprising. Every Superhero film is competing with every other superhero film. How many blockbuster films are aimed at women?

“Oh but what about the criminals, terrorists and pedos?”

What about the Windsors?

I see it like this:

Our legal system has the concept of mechanical licensing. If your song exists, someone can demand the right to cover it and the law will favor them. The result of an LLM has less to do with your art that a cover of your song does.

There are plenty of cases of a cover eclipsing the original version of a song in popularity and yet I have never met a single person argue that we should get rid of the right to cover a song.

American here. Here's the three common contexts for tipping. Everything else is something someone's trying to make a thing rather than actually a thing:

  1. Restaurants: If someone is bringing food from the Kitchen to your table

  2. Delivery: If someone's delivering food. Or they're personally delivering groceries.

  3. Transportation: If someone's driving you personally. Like a Taxi.

Some say you should tip bathroom attendants. I've never even seen a bathroom attendant, but that seems like such a bizarre job to tip for, even by American standards.

That's impossible, because all Soccer Moms on reddit are vampires, and vampires can't be Christian by definition.

Prove my logic wrong.

How many Christian Soccer Moms do you think used reddit in the first place? How many do you think are on Lemmy?
