Later tonight I'm going to give Rebel Without A Cause a watch for the first time. I pop my jacket collar way too often to have never seen it.

I borrowed (and ripped) the Blu-ray from my library and the librarian who helped me is looking forward to hearing my thoughts. She's starting to recognize me as the guy who takes out a lot of movies — I always wonder what she thinks when I grab an oddball pick.

@Dylan about 280 movies at 730GB here. And yeah, Handbrake is great. The other important tool is https://mkvtoolnix.download for mixing and separating video/audio/subtitles

    @GeekSusie Maybe it's because I'm watching Deadwood right now, but that looks like a brothel. :lulu:

    @mikemathia Most of my clubbing in the 90s was a sad attempt to find partners. Clubbing in the late twenty-o's however was also a sad attempt to find partners, but with less fucks given. (I hope I'm using that phrase correctly)

    If it will not let you toggle this feature on and off, then it's an extension installed that is causing it. For me it was uBlock.

    @mikemathia You uninstalled your adblocker for a feature that delivers marginal performance increase on the cost of increased bandwidth?

    Dropped off a card for my wife's mum as well won't be around for Mother's Day next weekend so we've walked from there to our local brewery, Urban Island, as a reward. Wife is on the German pilsner while I'm trying the new 369 Hazy Pale made with mosaic hops; a proper session ale at just 4%.

    @neonbubble @beersofmastodon That Pils is acutely lacking in foam. No German bar would dare serve it like that.

    Relax, I was just venting frustration when I wished terrible luck to that awful politician. It's not like I'm that kid with mental powers from Twilight Zone. Humans would be extinct if I were.

    @StefanThinks Who are you talking to?

    kolya,
    @kolya@social.cologne avatar

    @StefanThinks Okay, so it was just a non sequitur. Sometimes on Fedi I'm really not sure. Some people expect you to be up to date on their whole timeline because they can't be bothered to reply to their own posts and just keep starting new posts. And sometimes you've blocked someone or posts don't appear for other reasons and people seem to talk with themselves. A lot of chances for disjunct rants.

    Verbraucherhinweis:
    Nur wenn man die Spülmaschine unterhalb des Kühlschranks platziert, und den Kühlschrank zu voll packt, und dann auch noch die Spülmaschine "zum Abtrocknen erst mal offen stehen" lässt, dann und nur dann, hat man die Voraussetzungen für die Gelegenheit geschaffen, Nocellara-Oliven (in Öl) aus dem Geschirr (nun auch: in Öl) zu klauben. Gerade eben für Sie getestet. Zwei von Fünf Sternen.

    @nblr Warum stellst du die Spülmaschine nicht in den Ostflügel? Die Angestellten werden das Geschirr halt ein bisschen weiter tragen.

    Um zu verhindern, dass das Projektmanagement unseren Entwicklungsserver für Präsentationen missbraucht, haben wir einen "Schlumpf-Modus" eingebaut, in dem alle Verben durch "schlumpfen" ersetzt werden:

    Just pondered about which human inventions had the most impact in shaping what we call our modern civilisation. I came up with three distinct and significant ones that I'm going to share later in this thread.

    Which ones would you pick?

    EDIT: Given that Dulac died in 1953 it was probably for the tale.

    @askfedi
    Is there a way to list mastodon bookmarks in reverse order (oldest first)? If you saved many of them, t's a real mess having to scroll down to delete them. 🙄

    kolya,
    @kolya@social.cologne avatar

    @vasto @askfedi
    I guess you could export them, prune the ones you don't want anymore, then import with overwriting. Or just import an empty JSON to delet them all.

    kolya,
    @kolya@social.cologne avatar

    @vasto @askfedi
    They seem to be sorted chronologially in the export. That should help with finding your cutoff point. Also I forgot: It's CSV files with Mastodon, not JSON.

    kolya,
    @kolya@social.cologne avatar

    @vasto @askfedi
    But if you want to check them individually before deletion it may still be quite a bit of work, depending on how many bookmarks you have.
