Stealing water from neighboring clans. Driving cars without spikes.

It was 2002,I was 17. We were doing a end of the year show at school of Media and Communications, and we needed some cool intro music. So this classmate brought a CD, "Burn The Sun" by Ark, a prog-metal band.

Before this I believed I didn't have any interest in music. I hated the repetetive pop music playing on the radio, and had no interest in the kinda music my hometown friends listened to. Nobody listened to metal there. But after this I started looking for more music like this. Wasn't in the record stores, but I found a lot online. No wonder the record shops went out of business.

Jupp, gonna be a lot of activity here then, I believe.

Also fighting copyright claims from the music and movie industry is even more expensive and difficult.

Microsoft (with their Azure) has more than enough storage space. They got CDNs and video streaming technologies (that anyone can use in their own products). But they've still given up their own music streaming service and public video upload service.

Oh eff. ANOTHER game in the aug-oct months of games I'm looking forward to. 7 games in 3 months, most of them big.

Jup. Surface Pro: Very lightweight, solid, powerful (for its size), fan-less (some models), both tablet and laptop, has an okay stylus. Whats not to like? Oh, right, the default OS. 😊

Furries. I seriously don't get the hate. Its just people with artsy hobbies. And if some of them put a bit of adult stuff into it too, why is that a problem? Theres enough other weirder sex stuff going on in the world that isnt hated.

And actual nerds was hated back in the 90s. I didn't get that either. They do nothing but doing their hobbies far away from you and sports and mass social stuff. Lot of them was just introverts. Cringy comedies was made about them, and that continues today with stuff like The Big Bang Theory. But in early 2K nerding was suddenly "cool" and everyone used the word and watered it into meaninglessness.

Anyone who enjoy being in the spotlight. Like seriously how people are mobbing any (failed) attempt at attention seeking. Why is it that nobody is allowed to stick out? Is it envy? I got no envy for them, I enjoy not having too much attention on me. But people who enjoy it should be allowed to do so without being hated.

The bigger the expectations, the bigger the fall will be if it doesn't measure up.

But its darn hard not to feel hyped for BG3.

I would NEVER have trusted my life to a bluetooth or wifi connection. Any IT-technician who do isn't an IT-technician, imho.

Eventually it starts smelling again, like old book smell. I love that one too. I'm not as much a fan of the smell from glossy paper nor newspaper paper, but I don't hate it either.

So its about big corpos spreading misinformation and trying to kill something small to earn more money. Lemmy (and the fediverse) wouldn't know anything about that, right?

Thats on android only. And no, it isnt. If its a PWA then that button changes to "Install". Which does almost the same thing as "Add to home screen" except it opens the webpage up as if it was a separate app. That means it gets its own entry in the "Recent apps" list and its own icon, and it hides the address bar.

Edit: You can test this yourself by going to lemmy.world on your phone. It is a PWA. Any website can really be a PWA, it just needs a manifest file. Lemmy.worlds manifest are available here and you can see what settings it contains.

Are you talking about Firefox for Android? Because no, regular Firefox doesnt.

I don't think they are. Slower and more unstable. I'm using Edge for developing.

People would take out hits on people to free an IP, if it is particularly valuable. So lets not bind it to an authors life at all.

They've done objective research on this?! Why aren't we following the fuckin science? We're discussing the rules and duration when we should be discuss how to get it past the corpos and into implemented law.

A tool that could need some sharpening. I'm all for much shorter but much stricter, I think that will help smaller ip holders more.

And if you miss PWAs, Firefox got an extension for it now. Check out PWAsForFirefox. And unless Edge and Chrome, you can edit the name before pinning the site.

A few bugs and drawbacks though. It uses its own profile, so you will probably want Firefox Sync to transfer your password vault and extensions to it.

Know a guy in the assassins guild who could probably kill time. Ask for Mr. Teatime.
