You said the level of effort can't be matched. It certainly can by the same man.

The answer would be to Crack down on distributors doing the last leg to retail, hitting them with major fines. Enforcement at customs is always going to be a losing battle, the only way to win is to dry up demand at the commercial level.

This is probably a ridiculous question, but I usually stream from my laptop to my LG tv or my phone to any other tv, and I find that using my VPN keeps the casting output option from working. Like in Popcorntime, the Watch Now doesn’t show my tv, only the laptop app or VLC. On my daughter’s fire stick I can’t even cast to...

Woah, that embed opens their entire Twitter feed within kbin. Also pretty interesting art style.

I played the heck out of TankPot back in the day. One of the best early games to have a high number of simultaneous multi-player, I think 64, split poverty 4 teams of tanks. Played through the browser, it moved around to different sites a few times over the years and now has its own dedicated site:

A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It's a gem, though not PC, you've been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z

As a bit more background the Ancient Dragons were Blue, Black, Red, Green, and White, so we had to work around a mix of damages. Nice bonus with the Pit Fiend, Dragons aren't immune to the Frightened Condition and creatures within 20 feet of the Fiend roll for Frightened at start of turn, and all attacks are magical so it punches through resistances.

Always glad to swap warg stories!

There are a lot of rooms in VR Chat that let you do this, and you can actually meet and interact with people this way pretty readily. The libraries on there are extremely impressive, must be pulling from a torrent repository like a Stremio extension or something. Anyhow, I recommend giving it a try if you don't mind the VR headset resolution. You can of course also run this on a Desktop, which for this purpose has some advantages.

If you are talking about a service/app to match you with people to watch a movie together with in person, you could try MeetUp, or one of the dating apps. Nothing ideal that I know of, honestly would make a decent app idea

A lot of the devs left Kbin due to the on-man-leadership problem and started their own fork Mbin which has been progressing more quickly. A lot of instances have moved to Mbin, including kbin.run which I am on. Either way, it is performing very well overall and does enable interaction with both Lemmy and Mastodon instances. I check Lemmy instances directly periodically and don't see any advantage to returning when Mbin lets me interact with more content.

I actually hope that some dev work goes into providing "premium features" for paying subscribers. Things like profile cosmetics, awards, "superlikes", gif embeds, maybe sub only communities/threads. I view all of these as perfectly acceptable premium features that folks pay for on platforms like Discord that don't deter free users. If it helps make instances sustainable and keeps high quality admin & moderation in place, I would argue it would be a big community benefit.

Another possibility is instance - as - affiliate where the admin sets up affiliate accounts with services like VPN, Amazon, a web host, etc. To enable users to buy things they would already and give a kickback to the instance.

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

@spaduf I love Baudrillard. It is a bit odd that he has a student or TA rrad his lecture for him, but once you realize his French accent is so deep as to be near unintelligible to an American you can appreciate it. The thoughts are exceptional: https://youtu.be/q3kgjjTE0dk?si=XM_lMs6KdhLf6_-n

@retrieval4558 thanks! Please lend a hand getting is started and post a couple of your favorite pieces of SciFi content. We have a book list and art list starting which is a good place to start.

@Blaze hmmm, why yes it is. I don't know why that community does not come up for me no matter what I search on kbin.run I'm all for joining an existing community as long as I can interact with it.

I'm pretty sure kbin.run federates with lemmy.ml. odd

@yuunikki Nice, this is a great trove. I thought initially that they only had single issues, but it looks like there is pretty good selection of full story lines. Thanks for replying.

@ThrowawayAfterDark Nice, this is perfect. Can you recommend any extensions for American comics?

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

@someguy3 Portland, Oregon has the largest urban park in the country, Forest Park, but it is forested an not a garden park. Also it is on the edge of the city instead of Central.

@Telorand I started with Boost as it is what I used for Reddit, but after trying Jerboa and not having any adds and all the same fu ctionality I can't go back.
