Wow, thanks for the reply! I guess it must be a problem on my end. I was playing with kodi on a raspberry pi, so I’m not surprised, but really helpful to know that it’s not the downloader.

This one was real bad

I tried a few times, but the video and audio are often out of sync. Anyone have this issue?

Yeahhhh, maybe not…

And what are the communists up to?

That’s well before my time.

Zelensky supports absolutely anyone that will put a gun in his hand. If I were in his shoes, I would too.

I gotta follow this guy haha

Anybody know of a way to reduce micropastic pollution from tires that isn’t parking your car? It seems like an inevitable side effect of all tires.

The extensibility and transparency has always been the big ones for me. It is such a pain not being able to dig into exactly how a program works. Documentation is ok but open code is infinitely better.

I’ll remind you instead

Oh wow, now I understand why I disagree with them so much. Being communist is one thing, but being antidemocratic is a whole other thing. Thanks for the explanation!

Not sure why you got downvoted. I don’t know what a tankie is, but the rest is spot on.

There are authors starting to publish without a publisher. I think that is the right direction, not making all books free. Maybe once the publishers have less control there will be some copyright reforms to shorten the time it takes to bring works into the public domain. Right now it is 95 years from publishing, but I think the author’s life plus 30 years or something might make a bit more sense. For example, George Orwell has been dead for over 70 years, but his works are still under copyright.

??? Cotton is usually the cheapest thing I see.

Even natural rubber makes microplastics.

The two largest sources of microplastics are clothing and car tires. Clothing is a pretty easy fix. Only buy natural fibers like cotton, wool, etc. For car tires you will have to drive less. These two sources account for more than half of microplastics.

Yeah, mine are copper

The plotline to stardew valley comes to mind.

It’s not from ignorance. It’s based on the people I know from China.

I mean, if you haven’t been there or don’t know anyone from there you could pretend they are a democracy, but they are authoritarian like Russia is authoritarian. Long term they will seek a wider swath to be authoritarian over.
