glimse,

You don’t like seeing the same 4chan screenshot 3 times back to back on All??

glimse,

I’ve only really noticed a difference when the salt isn’t fully mixed in. Like sea salt on a cookie (yum) vs table salt (yuck)

glimse,

Glad to see Band of Brothers mentioned. Not my favorite show in the world (not a big fan of war media) but damn was it good!

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...

glimse,

To the guy I replied to, they’re apparently one in the same. But I’m definitely referring to the former. Sometimes it’s nice to have someone telling you to pump the brakes when you’re cruising on an idea ya know?

Liberals (me included) tend to rely on momentum and sometimes we overshoot. The world needs all kinds of people - even if I disagree with most conservative viewpoints.

glimse,

conservative political get the downdoot.

That’s shitty imo. I’m on the left but there’s plenty of conservative politics that aren’t extreme or worthy of burying.

My old coworker was conservative and we had some amazing conversations about politics and culture even though we usually didn’t budge much on our positions. He was my favorite person to talk to about it because he brought in “the other side” that I wasn’t otherwise exposed to.

Websites to download cracked software for Windows?

Yes, I have looked in the megathread. Specifically under the sections “All Purpose”, “Tools”, and “Software”… however, I didn’t find any general, all purpose websites for cracked software. Or at least, the megathread never had something in it that said “great website for cracked software”....

glimse,

AutoCAD and Ableton are my two most-used pieces of software. There are no FOSS alternatives that get anywhere close

glimse,

I find this software to be of greater quality and better than closed source software

You’d find the opposite of you use what I use. Open source alternatives to every piece of software that keeps me on windows kind of blows in comparison.

glimse,

Trust me…I’d kill to get Autodesk and their always-online DRM off my PC…but those are not alternatives. I do CAD professionally with established standards and LISP routines. I’d have to learn a new programming language to even consider switching

glimse,

Why remake this comic in SketchUp if it’s gonna look worse than the original

glimse,

That’s what it looks like to me lol

glimse,

No thank you. We already have enough reddit reposts, let’s not give people further incentive to spam the same shit we’ve all seen a thousand times.

glimse,

It says “I can’t read binary either, I copied and pasted this”

Blade barrier is fucking amazing!

We just got ambushed in a courtyard by about 15 enemies standing on a walkway above us, with no immediately obvious way for us to get up there. We were sitting ducks. So Shadowheart cast blade barrier across the entire walkway. In addition to doing a lot of damage every turn, it imposes difficult terrain. All of the enemies...

glimse,

This isn’t a flex or anything but I’ve played through 3 full campaigns and I just realized I’ve never cast fireball…what is wrong with me…

glimse,

I always thought that was some bullshit parental cope until I held a newborn. Somehow, babies really do smell great

glimse,
glimse,

I had to Google it to see if Let Me Google That For You still existed. I wish someone would have googled it for me…

glimse,

I’ve seen 50x as many comments complaining about people liking Hamas than comments saying anything positive about Hamas

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

glimse,

Shit, I didn’t realize there were 48 hours in a day.

Sorry, you’re right. Creators should work their 9-5 and then spend another 8 hours a day making videos for us out of the goodness of their hearts. I now think it’s disgusting that these people try to monetize their hard work

I think it’s ironic that the argument is both “sponsor segments don’t respect my time!” AND “I have no respect for the time of the creators”

glimse,

Skip it all you want but don’t act like it’s such a terrible inconvenience. Creating high quality content is a full time job and people gotta eat

glimse,

Go for it! I’m not holding that against anyone. I’m railing against the entitlement of saying it’s “not respectful of the viewer’s time” to have sponsored segments.

Like I said elsewhere, I think that stance is ironic because it’s not respecting the creator’s time and effort. “I want you to spend hours and hours making videos for me but I don’t want you to make money from it”

glimse,

If the creators you like choose to monetize with sponsors, you can choose not to watch them instead of complaining about it on a forum. Or go create the content you like yourself.

I don’t like ads either and have stopped watching several channels because of how they use them.

“Every time the same argument” is right - “my time is valuable but the creator’s time is not!”

glimse,

If nobody needs them then why are they complaining? Just don’t watch it. Your problem is solved!

Videos on YouTube are so much better than the era you’re remembering. If nordvpn or whoever sponsoring videos is the way for creators to continue making great things on a regular schedule, I’m not gonna make a huff when they take a minute to acknowledge them. I skip most of them, too, but I’m not venting about what a terrible inconvenience it is.

And sorry for not specifying that I wasn’t speaking about reaction videos and meme compilations when I said “high quality”, I thought it that would be pretty damn clear but I guess we watch different things on YouTube

Stop acting like it’s morally wrong to get paid for your work. If there’s a market for it, why shouldn’t people do it full time? Should Hollywood work for free, too?

glimse,

Ok
