This is exactly why I'm also not that interested in Bluesky. It's not decentralized in a way that makes it resilient to a Musk-style takeover.

PDSs are cool, Mastodon can learn something from Bluesky's tech stack. But Mastodon made the right choices from the beginning to be decentralized for resiliency.

Donate it to a thrift store or someone who needs it

Folks who want to view the video using a third party client could always just copy and paste the link, so I don't see any problem

The artwork they did for that billboard is sick

You gotta clean it off a little sooner after watching porn

Can't wait to watch this. I missed out on the limited theatrical release. I wish it went to more theaters and had a longer run.

Nice vid

It's kind of a bummer as it's nice to have a more artistic representation of sex outside of porn which is more of a commodity. Movies can connect the sexy scenes to the non-sexy scenes which potentially makes them more powerful. Also, movies can tie moral value to sex which is interesting to explore.

I am in favor of sex in movies making a comeback, as long as it doesn't create problems for the actors.

Switched my parents from an iMac to an old Dell Optiplex running Elementary OS. It worked pretty well but there were some glitches with Pantheon DE and OS version upgrades required a reinstall, so I switched them to Fedora after a couple years. It's easier for me to support because I run Fedora on my laptop. Everyone's happy now. There is always some amount of tech support to do but lately it has been very low. I even helped my dad upgrade the RAM over the phone once, that was fun.

Make sure to check if it actually ran from the cron job, cron is a finnicky tool

I use Borg Backup, automated with a bash script that Borg provides. A cron job runs the script at the desired frequency. I keep backups on different computers, ideally I would recommend one copy in the cloud and one copy on a local machine. Borg compresses and encrypts its backups.

Edit: I migrated a server once using the backups from this system and it worked great.

Love Inkscape, using it for 15+ years.

I sure hope they fixed the bug from the last version where it would crash if you had a drawing tablet plugged in while opening the app. That has been a huge nuisance for the last few months.

Edit: They fixed it, god bless.

Ring 98 is such a great spooky film, it's a little scary but in kind of a fun, haunting way. I also love how it combines historical and technological elements together.

Like many GUIs it makes it so you don't have to remember and type a bunch of commands to carry out basic tasks. I especially find it convenient for checking logs. But no unique functionality compared to CLI. So it's a matter of preference.

Check out QKSMS

If we're defining "text" as "SMS, MMS or RCS", Signal doesn't do that anymore. You can only send messages to other signal users. Signal is a great app but you won't be able to reach people with it unless you talk them into using it.

The shadow of the hand over the city reminded me of the scene in Faust (1926) where the devil is standing over the village.

I got so bored watching the first movie that I turned it off after like 40 min. The emotional core of the movie is so simplistic (they literally kill his puppy? Are you joking?) and the superficial plot elements with the coins and all the assassins and stuff is so overly complicated... I didn't think the action scenes were very engaging either. I would much rather watch The Bourne Identity.
