What particular component is doing your organizing for you? I do struggle with this at times. THAT is a massive amount of manual labour when I let it get out of control.
I've tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.
After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.
Wait until you hear about library genesis.
The sum total of 33 actively degassing volcanoes in the world results in 60,000,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year without undergoing any eruption.
We could use a little ice age to go with.
I have been all of those things at various points in my life.
I really struggled with the vegan lifestyle. I can't really eat bread or pasta because they upset my guts, and I hate potatoes. As a result, most of the free kicks in terms of energy density were off the table.
I'm a pretty big guy, and I have a super active job and active hobbies. I ended up having to eat an inhuman amount of roughage to get to the point where I stopped losing weight.
Further still I constantly felt as if I were actively fermenting some kind of wicked brew inside me. I could NOT stop farting. For almost 12 months I lived with this. All the time: In work meetings, in bed with my wife, in my motorcycle gear, in the work truck...farting. Worst of all was in the shower. I'd let a dirty vegan fart rip through sheer necessity, already knowing that the hot water would keep pounding it down and recirculating it through my nostrils but not being able to do anything about it. It was in the shower one day where I burst into tears from chewing my own farts at four o'clock in the morning that I decided I'd had enough.
I then went in completely the opposite direction and ate nothing BUT meat for 3 months. All of my digestive symptoms cleared up, my skin and hair looked amazing and I'd developed the ability to chase down wild game in the dead of night. Overall though I didn't feel all that healthy and I could not stand the sight of another plate of meat so I threw that in the bin too and went back to being an omnivore.
At some point during this whole charade I hooked up with one of my rural neighbours who offered to sell me half a beast. Here's where the 2 year thing comes from. Most people do not realise how much meat is in a cow. It is a fucking shitload.
HALF a cow easily fed me for an entire year when I mixed it with a wide array of vegetables, eggs, nuts and legumes - and I gave a heap of it away!
Therefore, I have had to accept that the cost of sustaining my life on this planet is 0.5 large cows per year. I do my best to return that value or greater to the world every year, and one of my acts of service is making confusing internet posts on forums that I don't remember signing up for.
Factory farming is deplorable and extremely difficult to avoid when you shop at grocery stores. The fact that it has to exist as an industry at all whispers to me that there might just be a few too many billion omnivores on this planet to feed. My own personal problems stem from the fact that I've contributed to that issue: there are now 4 mouths to feed in my house! They don't need as much meat in their diet as I do, but that still increases my household footprint above 0.5 cows per year.
If I look out of the window behind me right now, I can see old Bessy lounging by the dam in a paddock filled with lush green grass. Sometimes birds land on her but she doesn't seem to mind, she's pretty chill like that. She has a deep love of carrots but is unreasonably afraid of whole cabbages. I assume they make her fart.
I've watched Bessy enjoy life for the last 2 years, but come mid spring a loud report will echo off the hillside. I will have to deal with the mess, and the emotional upset of my children who haven't quite mastered the art of passive detachment just yet.
One day when they are old enough, they will have to participate in the butchering if they want to eat meat. I expect I will raise a household of vegetarians and I'm ok with that. They don't mind collecting the chicken's eggs and we usually have at least 4 or 5 who survive their free range life long enough to reproduce. We don't eat a lot of chickens because the maths isn't very good.
Yeah that was kind of my point. What floofloof is suggesting is porting over the worst feature of reddit. The one that literally creates a hivemind. Not interested in that at all.
I am biased here because I am benefiting heavily from each space-x satellite launch.
Without starlink I would not have been able to afford to buy a house. A weird statement I know, but in spite of being a dual-income, tertiary-educated household we were completely priced out of the city I grew up in including even the most far-flung suburbs.
We were also priced out of every other nearby city and their suburbs, and to be frank - never once in my life have I dreamed of holding a mortgage for almost 1 million dollars. That is indentured servitude for the remainder of my working life in my book and I just can't do it.
With starlink, I am connected to the world. I rely on it to make phone calls, to carry out my work and to socialize. It is the sole pipeline through which we receive all media and entertainment and without it we would have nothing. I am happy living in the middle of nowhere, and I could easily afford a house here.
With that said, starlink already have 12,000 sats in low earth orbit, and plan to bring that number to over 40,000.
The technology works. In two years, I have had one major outage (for which I was financially compensated) but otherwise, not even so much as a slowdown.
If 12K satellites are interfering with the work of science towards common goals of humanity though - 40K will make this much worse. At some point, Space-x must atone for their sins here and do something to help the affected communities. Eg. Launch radio telescopes far above the reach of their low-earth-orbit satellite array and gift its use to the communities whom they have affected.
I don't think it's so easy to walk back what space-x have achieved here. Already they have partnered with several telecommunications companies around the world to bring genuine global cell coverage without the need for any towers. This is a massive leap forward for emergency communications, and continues to open possibilities where before there were none.
I had a day off with the flu so I was shit posting all day. At no point did I see goatse so I think we're ok for now.
Hopefully our captain's have patched it already.
I use it. I live in the middle of nowhere and it has been a total game changer. I now want for nothing.
I don't. I have a lot of really unpopular opinions and it's important to me that everyone knows about them.
If you've got a few minutes to chat I can give you the gist.
I don't know how you got away with that to be honest. Reddit has fairly good protection from that behaviour. If you up vote something from the same IP with different accounts reasonably close together there's a warning. Do it again there's a ban.
Yeah it's a god damn mess. I wonder if the effect has been as crippling to the democratic process in countries where they don't have systems completely dominated by 2 major parties. Doesn't leave a lot of room for nuance.
I genuinely wasn't aware of this. Have never heard that argument made.
So their position is basically that as soon as you have a sufficiently developed supply chain to buy refrigerated lab-grown or fake meat and get it home before it smells like a rotten protein shake, that's what you should do? But until that happens, killing animals is ok?
In my experience I need to kill 1 large cow every 2 years to personally survive. That's good, because that's about my personal limit for how long I'm happy to have a cow in my freezer without charging it rent.
I need to kill an absolutely obscene number of avocados, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetable too otherwise that cow will not last me 2 years. Those are the screams that truly bother me. The daily cries of my vegetables going to slaughter.
Ah, well if it isn't the exact reason I sold my google nest/ mesh routers the same day that I bought them! Imagine voluntarily placing microphones around your home owned by some shady corporation.
They had a physical off switch for the microphone, but could still somehow remind you that your mic was disabled when you talked to it. Cool. Very cool.
You do understand that I can agree with one idea a person has without endorsing the entirety of their character, or even their entire argument? For the record, centrism is destroying my country.
The branch of our major party which would once have been called 'hard left' is now well and truly centrist, almost centre-right or hard-right on some issues such as defense and the right to protest.
Might be healthy to stop believing you have people figured out from one tiny slice of text or one issue that they've discussed, or even crazier: read and understand what is being said before you go pointing your political divining rod.
Who in your world are the major players, political figures or thinkers in this kabal of centrists?
Before you reply please note that I am not from the USA. I am peripherally aware of U.S politics from a geopolitical perspective because we are lapdogs for that country but there's few minor players that I'd be aware of without research.
I see this as predatory behaviour and maintain my original postion: I just won't call a business that doesn't list their prices. I don't want to listen to some sales jerk's bullshit spiel about why I should pay more through their business VS getting the best price from someone who isn't afraid to list it.
My country has amazingly strong consumer laws with an enforced period of warranty so the only genuine risk posed is a company I buy from going out of business and not existing when I need that warranty support, even in that scenario - the law is still enforceable on manufacturers so it's a moot point.
Much like using a booking agent for a holiday, relying on a salesman to make any decision in life is really only there for the mentally deficient and infirm.
This lack of gestures actually makes me want to give it a go. I've never once used gestures on purpose, I always just accidentally do stuff.
Edit: seems pretty sweet!! It handles instances in a really weird way. If you leave the default lemmy.world account available and don't login, you can't interact with posts from that instance even if you are logged in with an account from another instance.
If I login on both, all of my post and comment history I assume would be split between the relevant account. Weird.
I really like the UI and performance of the app overall though.
I buy Makita battery tools because there are extremely good quality chinese clones available of the Makita batteries. I get the skin for dirt cheap, and then I get the largest capacity battery for dirt cheap.
It would be super cool if they made the battery interface universal so that buyers could base their decision on the quality of the actual tools but this is unchecked capitalism, baby!
