Not in the slightest. The entire build-up/explosion/shockwave sequence on 70mm IMAX is one of the greatest cinematic experiences I've ever had.

Nolan is known for wanting to shoot as much as possible in-camera, partly because he loves to shoot on film rather than rely on digital effects. I think that's admirable.

I thought the entire film was excellent. Zero complaints whatsoever.

The Thai government never asked for Elon's help - he volunteered following a tweet by a twitter user who suggested that he help.

Also, his solution was never viable to begin with - the rescue organizers said straight away that the submersible would be useless in the cave environment.

Apart from selecting the folder view and making it really small, I don't think so. Maybe look into hacking it using gconfeditor, or something?

BTW - your image link is broken.

That's what we call the placebo effect.

Try telling 256kbps AAC and lossless apart when you don't know which is which beforehand:

If you think journalists routinely delve into extensive, detailed investigations based off a simple press release then I would say you've been watching too many movies.

I somehow doubt that you hold media sources that align with your own political persuasions to such exacting scrutiny.

No, it wouldn't. Journalists report on the content of upcoming lawsuits all the time. It's up for the law courts to decided the validity of legal claims being made, not the media.

It's factual because it accurately reported the claims made in the lawsuit. Journalists do this all the time.

Obviously the Telegraph chose to publish this story because it appeals to the political leanings of their readership, but virtually all newspapers do that to a certain degree.

It seems you have fallen into the trap of automatically dismissing the source/article as "propaganda" because its political viewpoint differs from your own.

This article itself is pretty factual, to be fair. All the quotes are taken verbatim from the lawsuit, which you can read here:

That doesn't mean that De Peiro's claims are true, of course, but the Telegraph does appear to have reported them accurately.

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros.

No it isn't - it's because the vast majority of computer/laptop users just stick with the OS that comes installed on their device and probably aren't even aware than installing a new one is even an option. Your grandma isn't sitting there thinking "should I install Ubuntu or Fedora on my MacBook?"

Lemmy/Kbin do have something in common with Linux in that the Fediverse concept requires a certain amount of technical knowledge to understand, but it's far easier to grasp that than it is to install Linux on your home computer.

Same here.

After the infamous AMA, I made a post in my subreddit basically saying "peace out, I'm off to Lemmy. Good luck, everyone." Lucky for them, I'd set up a pretty robust automoderator over the years so that's still taking care of the majority of the moderating tasks I'd imagine.

I visited that post today and saw over 500 comments, each one by a mod and each one of them angry. Why they're still there, I have no idea.

I think that would depend on what "Pro-LGBTQ+ content" means. It's quite a vague term. Does it refer to posts, discussion topics, or what?

They do follow up by saying that serious discussion about LGBTQ+ issues is acceptable, so the fact that are open to discussion, in theory, could be a point in their defense.

To play devil's advocate (pun not intended), this community poses an interesting quandary.

When seen in context, their rules do clearly prohibit any hate speech against the LGBTQ+ community:

Rule #5: Remember that we are all fellow image-bearers. We may disagree with people, but we are never to tear down another person’s inherent dignity and value as someone made in the image of God (Imago Dei). This includes those in the LGBTQ+ community. They need Jesus, too, just like we do, and we can’t say we represent Him while we tear down the works of His hands.

Rule #6: Banned subjects include ... Anything calling for direct/indirect violence against any individual or group, including LGBTQ+ individuals or groups; ...

Rule #8: This community does not affirm practiced LGBTQ+ lifestyles, with the exception of the ace/aroace (asexual/aromatic-asexual) lifestyle in certain contexts. However, abuse towards members of the LGBTQ+ community will not be tolerated. Pro-LGBTQ+ content is not allowed; however, sincere questions and discourse about LGTBQ+issues are permitted.

I'd be interested to see the admin's ruling in this case.

I'd argue it's significantly more preferable to have a laptop that's a little thicker but you can safely open in a couple of minutes with a screwdriver, but your mileage may vary.

Surfaces are abysmal for repairs and upgrades, as well. They're literally glued together like a smartphone.

That support for Ukraine must be localized to specific communities on lemmygrad, because all the discussion I've seen over there has been very pro-Russian, painting Ukraine and NATO as the warmongers.

The term "Asian" is almost never used in the geographical rather than socio-cultural sense, though.

Cypriots are certainly European, culturally, and a good number of these nationalities are considered "Middle Eastern" rather than "West Asian".

IIRC, over half of Reddit's traffic was US-based. I'd be interested to see if the same is true for lemmy.world.

I mean, there are plenty of reasons not to use Brave but this poorly-written, obviously-not-a-paid-review doesn't really rank up there.

I think the @user@instance tag does. If you check your inbox under mentions, you should see a notification for that but not for /u/user@instance.

Thanks, /u/tweak@lemm.ee

Edit: I don't see a link when using this method on Voyager or Jerboa, whereas @TWeaK@lemm.ee does work. It seems Lemmy apps don't support your way of doing it yet.
