Understanding them from context works reasonably well yes, but they are still odd letters in modern usage, most people couldnt use or type these on their devices without extra steps.

Seems unnecessarily complicated for everyday use. Being a german myself i also do not use our Umlaute outside of communication in german, because barely any other reader can make sense of ä, ö, ü. Simpler to just spell them accordingly as ae, oe, ue.

Why?

Wait until you start going bald. At some point you feel ridiculous buying shampoo

This reminds me of a project I saw some years ago, it was AR glasses with just a monochrome display that would project into the eye itself, adjusted to the individual user by an optometrist.

It was less ambitious than the other projects at the time on what it would be able to display, but this had the distinct advantage of being extremely power efficient and lightweight, allowing the system to fit into a normal glasses form factor.

It also looked cyberpunk as fuck with the user having a glowing red dot in one of his eyes during use, at least to everyone else. I tried a bunch of times to google for what ever has become of it, because I was very interested in the concept as a wearer of glasses.

Does anyone by any chance know what I’m talking about? This would have been in the early to mid 2010s.

TLDR: Want my cyberpunk glasses. Pls halp

Imagine being born 10000 years ago where chances that you died before adulthood were significant and even a minor infected cut would likely mean your death, not to mention any more serious injury such as a broken bone 🥰

Don’t get me wrong I hate modern wage slavery just as you do but I also appreciate not being dead yet just because I had a rough accident three years ago.

Any show that tries to paint the federation as less than aspirational has entirely missed the point of trek, and the product is a stillbirth.

Pointing out flaws, or highlighting the morally grey areas like ds9 did is fine, because it still preserves the federation as a multicultural utopia.

E: always nice to get downvotes without further discourse. How does anyone consider “the office but in the alpha quadrant” star trek? I don’t want to watch random people doing a mediocre job in some bureaucratic apparatus while they wear trek uniforms. I don’t want to watch s31 as some sort of idiot CIA. I want to watch modern TNG.

A sense of wonder and optimism, the exploration of fantastic things never seen before. Engagement with philosophy and real world issues through a sci fi lense. A hopeful tomorrow, a ideological roadmap to utopia.

Why are you skipping over the alternative venues of revenue I suggested that wouldn’t be as problematic? Because without you couldn’t paint me as irrational, asking the poor corpo to not make more money than last quarter at their customers expense 😔

They can pay their employees just fine. They do this because the investors want their returns.

First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.

I’m just curious, why are you so vehemently defending a shitty move by a corporation? No matter how you tackle the issue, taking away a function that used to be free and evidently has no costs associated to the corp is a textbook example of enshittification.

It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.

I suspected that, but why the hell is “proof of work” nothing of any use or value? That just seems so fundamentally absurd it doesn’t compute for me apparently

To this day, I have not understood what exactly is even being calculated, and for what real world application. I mean, I understand mostly what crypto is and how it works, but not why doing those calculations results in financial gain.

Maybe you shouldn’t be able to buy an America sized bag of novelty plastic waste for 10 bucks.

“Weekly action report!? Oh, that means war for sure”

Just reinstalled to make sure, but didn’t help (see other comment)

I use the same setup as you, opening all YouTube links in the app. I just checked again, I have the latest fdroid version which is 3 weeks old and the issue persists, also did a reinstall for good measure.

I also have the tubular fork installed from the latest apk, and it has the exact same issue.

I also tried from different locations via VPN but nothing helps :/

This is all I get for the last week or so, no matter which video I try to open. I was about to delete the app for that. How is yours still working?

The context is a post I haven’t seen got removed and you made another post described as dumbed down so every idiot can get it, seasoned with some mod salt. That’s not how you successfully engage with people

Stargate OC -> i upvote

Bitching and moaning I don’t have the context to -> I downvote

Seems to be chugging along just fine, they really made a gold standard game. They are even smart enough to dip into the nostalgia crowd who liked the older versions better with the classic servers. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if it were still an actively developed game in 10 years
