You're making me want to book that plane ticket even more. The main thing I'm struggling with is deciding where I would go. If you don't mind me asking, any favorite locations or cities?

For those of us without 100" 4K HDR TVs and perfect speaker setups, yes it is worth it. Not for every movie but there are movies I am very glad to have gone to the theater for because watching it at home on a 24 inch monitor and headphones is far less immersive and exciting an experience. Yes, even with popcorn crunching.

Me thinks they weren't planning for twins and panicked.

Couldn't say, but it did cause me to unfollow the cat community I was following because my feed was unbrowseable outside of void cats.

An amusing observation. It's a general statement to indicate a lack of mallice and imply I'm not just trolling. Posting grammar corrections with no fluff or preface is a fantastic way to earn downvotes, sadly.

Not to be 'that guy', but it's "would've" or "would have", never "would of".

IMO, yes. HDDs are always going to be a bit noisy, but the consumer grades keep it fairly classy. The couple of HGST drives I got from ServerPartDeals are noisy in the "grating" way. The volume is similar but the noise is not in the normal pleasant range. I am only fine with it because my server is in another room.

Skype basically worked like this back in the day. It had it's ups but for day-to-day users it was rather unintuitive so Microsoft moved to a server system when they took it over. I am pretty sure there are still p2p chat systems around though, I just don't know any of them by name.

This is not a small task so apologies for overstepping that a bit, but MusicBee on Linux. I have been trying out Linux music players and none of them are anywhere even close. Mainly I miss the auto playlists feature and the full support for custom tags, but a lot of features could be replaced with scripts as long as the program allowed easy shortcuts and menu options to send files to those scripts.

I'd actually love to make it myself or contribute to a project to get it there, but I have a feeling many projects don't wish to become that "bloated" or the base wouldn't be much better than simply starting from scratch. But if anyone knows projects that are actively taking commits or are close in feature set...

I forget the exact reasons but I believe it was due to a perceived bias. I don't read BBC so can't comment but they described it similarly to how a liberal would describe Fox News.

We should keep the "Opinion:" prefix on titles. Without it, these statements sound like evidence-based fact.

I knew this was happening today when I got emails from every institution known to man about a "disruption" in the force Canada Post service.

Did they really put the power button on the bottom? Lmao that's up there with the magic mouse charging port.

Supernault is actively considering having the flagship loops.video server function as the centralised service for the For You algorithm.

That sounds... potentially counter to the goals of the Fediverse. If it's its own open-source and hostable project with an easy switch for admins to provide a different algorithm then I can see how it would be a big leg up for better discovery, but if it just locks you into phoning home to loops.video then that is terrible.

I have thought for a while though that search / indexing should be a separate Fediverse service to allow even tiny instances to make use of large-scale search, but only as long as it remains open for anyone to host an indexer.

And then they, too, can be defederated by salty Mastodon admins. At least I saw a lot of instances talk of defederating BBC when I still was trying to enjoy Mastodon.

All official BBC accounts, yes. It has locked signups.

Wait, when did they switch names? First I've heard of it, but it makes sense to negate their terrible rep. Edit: 2021, according to the article. I didn't think they'd mention it.

If you're not getting cold, then no. If you lived in a colder climate or had worse heat generation then yes.

I would happily bet money that federation keeps getting kicked down the road. "Oh, we have to do X first. Also Y just came up, and you know it was a waning moon last night so...." They have no reason to enable it as long as things go their way.
