Very true but I will take what I can get 😁

Yeah but to show a 16:9 on a 4:3 it would be so small you would have more than half your screen taken up by black bars. It’s the whole reason 16:9 was created to also help with the flat and scope film formats. To finally get rid of the awful practice of pan and scan.

It’s also about the lease common denominator a 16:9 screen will show the aspect ratio of a 4:3 but a 4:3 won’t show a 16:9. The whole point of a 16:9 was to fit all common ratios without distortion.

Dude that’s a long since passed look at the vaults in Hawaii with zuck. I hope they choke down there. Remember they all have air filters.

Ah yeah that will be the wrinkle

I mean you don’t have to live in Italy after getting your citizenship they are an EU country with freedom of moment.

There are no good guys or bad guys in geopolitics just interests. Sometimes those interests align with what most people consider good or bad. Read the field manual FM3-24 and learn about shaping and you will see what the CIAs bread and butter of their job entails.

As a huge myst fan myself i fired up my save of myst 2021 and played rime. The day the update came out came out. The books really enhance the game series. The new remake of Riven is top notch.

Also America’s definition of old and Europe definition of old are very different. My family in England live in a house that’s older than America and not by a little.

This made me thing of another question if someone was born deaf but if you attached a device that would have a mic with an amplifier and a transducer that touched the skin so they could feel the vibration frequency changes based on sound. Could they develop a new way of hearing sounds? Could they learn to speak?

But it’s Weyoun 6 the best Weyoun … reanimated

It’s that i won’t be having a long full life like my parents and I will have a much suffering up to my painful death.

Also looking at religion as a social phenomenon vs something supernatural . Some people can enjoy the ceremony and community and drop all the dogma. I know I’m an atheist but still enjoy Christmas , Hanukkah, Vesak, Diwali. Nice thing about not being tied to the dogma means you can pick and chose what you like.

I would think he would want to have anyone that can to donate blood

I would say there is two things at play here one is that you should have is simplifying the compliance requirements to make fraud easier to detect. Like for example in the US for disability if you have more than 2k in your bank account you lose disability.

All these requirements were created to show that a government will offer welfare when they really don’t want to. If we just said if you make less than X you get help. It would be simple math and a SQL query to check for fraud. At the same time having a fraud team in that looks at businesses doing the fraud would be better served like with the US Medicaid fraud that dwarfs any fraud coming from individuals.

Yeah I’m glad it works for you but at that point you are using lemmy like a RSS feed reader and at that point just use an RSS feed reader. But my point was trying to explain the lack of engagement that drives more content. Sometimes the post is secondary to comments in some cases.

You are also asuuming reddit was the default for a person coming to lemmy and that still doesn’t explain the multiple communities created as clones becase the familiarity gets flipped on its head becase the person coming from reddit that would appeal to goes. It looks like reddit has the same name as my favorite subreddit. Why doesn’t it work just like reddit? Then they say screw this I’m going back to reddit and thus you haven’t dead communities hanging off of lemmy like a tumor. Hell the /c/name is not even shown in clients when you search it’s the display name. So that makes it even more confusing.

But that’s my point it wasn’t created organically one community at a time but a flood of clones with the same names at subreddits vs having there own identity. So instead of one community on one instance known for one topic you have twenty that are watered down and no one knows where to coalesce.

If I could change one thing about lemmy. I kind of wish communities worked like channels in IRC. When servers are federated if I go to #games on my server and you go to #games on your server. It does it’s best to show the same content. So the instance is real but the community is vitrual abstracted by the protocol.

The worse two things to happen to lemmy when the reddit api migration happened is people created clones of their subreddits multiple times on different instances but when it didn’t take off immediately they just abandoned it. The second was bot posting no one is going to engage when op is not real and thus you have zombie communities with zero comments. So it looks like a ghost town instead of a letting grow organically.
