They were published on DVD? I’ve only knew them as videos shared between friends on home burned CDs alongside a bunch of other funny videos and mp3 music.

Kids, that’s how we did it before youtube

Not enough, you gotta pump down those numbers, those are rookie numbers

‘compositing’ also works

No, using an OS is not something that requires a promise of commitment. It’s a utility needed for using a computer.

As enthusiasts we want as many people as possible to use good OSs, even if it ends at just trying it out.
The more people try Linux the better regardless of their motives.

People think it always has to be someone’s fault. It’s easier to attribute bad outcomes to specific actions by an individual, rather than accept things often happen through mechanism out of your control.

You’re not the only one who thinks so. Never tried it myself, but I’ve heard the same story from several people. Sure anecdotal evidence is not evidence, and so on. I’m convinced there is some truth to that, but not because of the direct causality.

Maybe it’s a strong placebo (most likely). If you look into placebo effect you’ll see it can be really powerful. Or there is something else in the human body that antibiotics stimulate. Like it’s not directly attacking the virus, but doing something else that makes it easier to recover.

Wall carpets are so 90s. Bare walls signal that you have money

The old fashioned English makes it sound way more formal than it probably was

1 and ∞ at the same time.

I can listen to one song on repeat like 20 times in a row, the same with a longer playlist. Actually the length of the playlist doesn’t matter. Once it becomes repetitive that’s it, it will always be repetitive be it one song or 1000.

You guys are getting paid?

Old artifacts used for hunting reindeer.

The title sounded too good

You don’t have an insight into other people’s minds so you attribute their behavior and decisions to some knowledge you don’t have but they do.
This is a fake feeling caused by lack of information. Everyone is improvising life.

Some reading as introduction to the cause of the phenomenon:

sopuli.xyz didn’t have any issues. At least I could access it at any time, I don’t know if there is any lag in federation due to unavailability of other instances.

Another important consideration is that Cloudflare outage might have been regional. Same content could be available in one region but not in another. On the Cloudflare status page they mention issues with London specifically.

Do they ask you to claim you’ve used it? Then absolutely no.
If they are ok with you saying “this video is sponsored by” but never mentioning your personal endorsement then it can be acceptable. We all need to make a living somehow.

And they’re barely trying. Latin American countries invest most of their transportation budgets into car infrastructure, even though the minority of citizens uses it. Why? Because Latin America.
Imagine what they could do if there was any political will.

Some overlap? It’s like 90%

So she didn’t object to killing cows? The problem was the bell making noise? Ok, denial justified.

You also seem to have American thoughts in the background

Makes the problems of capitalism even worse. Instead of the owner class you get an even smaller political class controlling all means of production - the party leadership. It becomes even more prone to corruption than capitalism.

Adding to problems is the planned economy - it always results in misaligned incentives, bad allocation of resources, constant shortages…

Third, possibly the worst, is the constant insistence on ideological purity and severe punishment of “thought crimes”. Or as they like to call it “counterrevolutionary activity”.

Even though it was created out of good intentions, I don’t believe a lot positive aspects can be salvaged.
