I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.
I find 4k streaming to be absolutely good enough for general tv streaming. It’s a bit better on some services than others. Amazon and Netflix do it the best, but it’s generally pretty good on all of the,.
For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.
If you can actually get them. According to the article, it appears that an end user with his own battery system cannot actually get paid to store energy.
Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster’s taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing....
Geographic restrictions. I live in Czechia. I can afford to pay for content and generally do if I can, but there is quite a lot of content I want that is not available via any content service whatsoever here. For that I sail the high seas.
Many of the camera companies are now making cameras that can put a hash in the photo to identify it as real. Hopefully before long we start to have a way to verify this on the client side.
I had many of the same questions. I have not investigated further. I’m sure some enterprising hacker will figure out how to hack it like they do everything else.
The fact that you can even be indignant about not having the technology to travel to another solar system developed within a single lifetime is pretty amazing considering it took us billions of years to get here.
“Julian has been indicted for receiving, possessing and communicating information to the public of evidence of war crimes committed by the U.S. government,” his wife, Stella Assange, said. “Reporting a crime is never a crime.”
Well, to be fair, his biggest leak was probably about the Iraq war, which was an RNC adventure. Though as time went on, it did seem that he started to align with Kremlin social media campaigns.
It’s impossible to tell if this was because he always was working with them as sources or if he was driven to Russia as an out due to being hunted by the west.
Ooh, I don’t really do that. I just tried it and it kind of works, but I think I’m much better with impressions in my real voice. I’d have to practice more.
I like ballotpedia.org but am very open to other resources or suggestions for how to get good info. Honestly half the reason I’m posting this is to start a solid thread of resources....
Yes for local elections you need to investigate all the options and see which one is best. It usually doesn’t divide cleanly upon party lines and not all 3rd party candidates are great. Wouldn’t be something where you could have Lemmy sharing their favorites for all voting districts though, there are too many.
I voted third party for 30 years straight. That all ended with Trump. If he wins, democracy is dead in the USA. There’s no coming back from that. I was never a “lesser of two evils” guy, but faced with the option of living in a fascist dictatorship, you’d better believe I am now.
And as for Biden, he was my least favorite democratic candidate, but now that he’s in office, I’d say he’s been one of the most effective presidents we’ve had in decades. Student loan relief, fighting to reduce child poverty, and doing a half decent job of keeping WWIII at bay in Ukraine. I think a Cold War era president which will bend to the workers movement and social democracy is about as good as it’s going to get.
I have no regrets voting for a major party candidate in this election whatsoever.
But if your friends are Trump supporters, by all means, be my guest.
