FippleStone,

I personally dislike how much people lean into video for information, also because I prefer to read, perhaps it’s a little bitter but I get the sentiment

FippleStone,

Sad to see LOTR being whored out like this since Chris died, clearly the other descendants care for nothing but profit

FippleStone,

You are clearly not aware of the windfall profits corporations are making, and that they are then passing exactly none of it on to the workers generating that profit

FippleStone,

No one’s out to destroy games Freeman, you’re just being paranoid

FippleStone,

I’d only recommend Duolingo to dip a toe in. If after awhile you’re wanting a bit more, I’ve had a good experience with Deutsch Welle’s german course. Also Babel is excellent but pricey.

FippleStone,

Some people are convinced that it’s the price of freedom

FippleStone,

Is anyone else getting crazy moire patterns if they zoom in on the background?

FippleStone,

Whenever I get worried about new technology I think of the Luddites, then I am less worried

Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...

FippleStone,

You should be able to, ahem, find some convinent ROM collections on most torrent indexers. A standard NES game is only ~128kb, so the whole library of games is only like 750mb. It scales exponentially with every generation as data storage improved, so the SNES library is 2gb, the N64’s is 5gb, and the PS3’s is 20tb. I find that I really don’t need the full library of a consoles releases available, so I usually only choose maybe a hundred or two that I’m interested in, there’s only so much time in the day. If you don’t need a handheld device I can recommend modding your ps3, it can emulate most anything, the hombrew scene is active and there’s been a lot of support for it, plus for the majority of consoles it’s a full custom firmware solution, so it’s a pretty seemless experience once you set it up. Plus with the internal hdd there’s plenty of space for stuff. Pretty much everything up to last gen is easily pirateable, so have fun with it, it’s easy once you get the hang of it.

Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?

No, I am serious about this. I wish to get back into the learning of reading, but as a beginner I am repelled by the intense use of vocabulary, literary devices of classical literature books or intense and difficult-to-follow storyline of modern day fiction. I want to read a book that is clearly made with people like me in mind....

FippleStone,

No but really, Douglas Adams could be what you’re looking for, very funny stuff

FippleStone,

“repelled by the intense use of vocabulary”

“this kind of expression could very well be possible to implement in a book in a textual medium while retaining the same amount of engagement and creativity.”

🤷🏻‍♀️

FippleStone,

Plenty of tutorials out there, you can have a google for one that you like. It’s pretty simple though, just download a .iso of the distro you want to try, and then flash it to a thumb drive using, I’d suggest, Rufus. Balena Etcher is another good option.

FippleStone,

Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.” But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.

FippleStone,

I think it’s a little buffer to make sure the actual blocks on the disk exist and line up with the partition start, but definitely don’t quote me on that

FippleStone,

Who controls the present now, controls the past.

FippleStone,

Everyone’s naming Plex, but just to be different I’ll throw Emby out there. I haven’t had any issues with it, and there’s a few features it has that I like.

FippleStone,

Real wage growth has been stagnant since the late 70’s, while productivity and corporate profits have skyrocketed. If we deal with that I think people might be more inclined to have kids.

FippleStone,

This is a quokka, found in south west Australia. There is a small island off the coast that's full of them, Rottnest island.

FippleStone,

I’m pretty happy with Jerboa on Android, although as a long time Boost fan I’m excited see their app for lemmy release
