3rdBlueWizard,

I have the same problem even after unchecking read posts. Of course, it’s a bug either way. In the meantime I just always click the save post button so my posts show up there instead.

3rdBlueWizard,

The real reason was that Gollum couldn’t fly. If they flew there, Frodo would have claimed the ring and that would be that.

The explanation for why Gandalf chose not to fly is up for question, but ultimately irrelevant.

3rdBlueWizard,

Planetina from Rick and Morty would just straight up murder the biggest offenders.

3rdBlueWizard,

Can you clarify? If my instance doesn’t have custom emojis, it’s safe?

3rdBlueWizard,

Well, I just made hobbit.world and intend to only have Tolkien related communities there. So block away if that’s not your thing. However, the only way to block an instance is to defederate and that’s kind of harsh. Hopefully the feature of blocking communities by instance is added.

3rdBlueWizard,

Yep, I used the Atlas pretty extensively to figure things out for the video. It’s an amazing resource.

3rdBlueWizard,

The Curta calculator is a marvel of engineering made by a guy who developed it while imprisoned by Nazis.

You specify numbers on the side and spin the handle up top to add them. You multiply numbers by specifying one number on the side then spinning the handle and rotating the collar.

Hard to describe via text. But there are lots of YouTube videos about it.

This particular model is special because it’s a cutaway model meant for demonstrating how it works internally. It’s a rare version of an already rare calculator and I absolutely love it.

The Curta feels so tactile in the way it works. You can feel the numbers being added when you rotate the handle and feel the zip of the mechanical parts interacting.

3rdBlueWizard,

Awesome! I was hoping this would be possible. I plan to host my own instance hobbit.world and would need to migrate everything.

Also, I’ll defederate any corporate instances. No need to encourage bad actors.

3rdBlueWizard,

I actually cannot rewatch that movie because of her. Infuriating.

3rdBlueWizard,

No different than email. That’s why domains should be displayed in clients for users.

3rdBlueWizard,

Looks partially resolved. Got rid of road markings, but incorrect blue left signs remain.

3rdBlueWizard,

The same science has happened in two places at once before. Lots of people rush to publish to avoid getting scooped.

Religion is just fiction, so this has not happened there. Heck, Joseph Smith couldn’t even invent his religion twice without messing things up.

Maybe not precisely the same as the quote, but it’s pretty similar. If there was a true religion, you’d expect it to have happened many times identically all over the world.

[Wristwatches] How a $260 plastic watch pissed off the entire watch community

Watch collectors are kind of an odd bunch. I’m talking about “dumb” watches specifically - watches that only tell time and don’t have any sort of smartphone connectivity or biometric tracking. Some of the fancier models might have a timer on them, but you’re certainly not going to be getting text notifications. Watches...

3rdBlueWizard,

Whoa, that shrug guy loses his backslash arm in Lemmy too? It’s a reddit flashback!

3rdBlueWizard,

The Connect app allows you to hide posts based on keywords. Maybe add “reddit” to that?

I started pirating movies again after a decade

I was a happy Netflix user until 2018, before that I haven’t really pirated any movies (with very rare exceptions) for almost a decade but I recently started again. I’m was doing my monthly budgeting and realized I was paying for too many subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+, Hulu and Crunchyroll....

3rdBlueWizard,

Cable cost well over $100 a month many years ago when I cancelled it. And 1/3 of the content is commercials.

Pretty sure you could subscribe to every major streaming service for less than that. And as long as you avoid Hulu, you won’t see commercials.

Things are WAY better now, even though it was better a little while ago when there was just Netflix.

3rdBlueWizard,

Agree about the comparison with music. I wonder why we didn’t see balkanization there like we do for video.
