Another interesting fact is that “cake” comes from the old norse word “kaka”. (proto Germanic kuohho). English are also eating shit 💩🎉

Caveman@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Where do you draw the line between "staying informed" and avoiding all the stress in the news?13·2 months agoI stick to few sources that generally cover major without the doom and gloom. Generally YouTube channels are pretty good imo.
-
TLDR News (UK, EU and Global) is a great series of channels for that.
-
Caspian report on YouTube for some geopolitics/strategic outlook.
-
Real life lore for couple of deep dives on non-current issues.
-
Money and Macro for macro economic news.
-
Just have a think for climate science and energy transition news.
-
“Good news” is just nice feelgood news.
Traditional media for closely following elections when they come out such as exit polls.
For the Gaza issue I did break the cycle and check on Al Jazeera which is the best for middle East news.

Caveman@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is discontinuing its “watch together” featureEnglish3·2 months agoJellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.
- Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
- Make IP dictionary to have people type “cat mug door end” which pings the server with a login from an IP.
- Show QR code.
- Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.
It’s passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.
It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.

Caveman@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country?4·3 months agoI’m all for free speech but when it’s heavily skewed and unfairly moderated I support a ban. Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and Xitter should just be removed.

For some reason they are more pro Russian suppression state, Chinese one-party censorship state and even apologise for DPRK. It’s pretty tall order to call any of those democratic. Then from my discussion with tankies they often advocate for an armed revolution which are very undemocratic in their nature and often lead to one-party states or a military junta government.
Marxist-Leninism is a democratic ideology but the way tankies talk doesn’t sound very democratic to me.
It’s a reference to horseshoe theory with the addition of the left wing where it’s actually democratic as opposed to communism authoritarianism which can resemble fascist authoritarianism in a war economy.
Caveman@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The economy could really use a state run video library online where it's mandatory for all movies and shows are sold for pay-per-view for media preservation and access.1·3 months agoUK, Nordics, Germany, Netherlands and a lot of other European countries have state run media. In many cases it’s the least biased media. People in the UK would use “ministry of truth” about the BBC unironically
Caveman@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The economy could really use a state run video library online where it's mandatory for all movies and shows are sold for pay-per-view for media preservation and access.1·3 months agoI think porn would have to be on premises at a library with ID confirmation only if it’s published in the country in question. It should be restricted access.
My idea is that creators and publishers will actually gain more money per view than Nebula for example. They can still of course market their patreon on it.
Honestly it was a toilet thought, I didn’t flesh it out completely for every case.
Caveman@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The economy could really use a state run video library online where it's mandatory for all movies and shows are sold for pay-per-view for media preservation and access.15·3 months agoThe national government pays for storage and bandwidth and so on, financed by pay-per-view. Harmful and illegal material will most likely not make the cut but most old movies, old cartoon shows, old talk shows and interviews and so on will be available to the public.
This is both for entertainment and research, optionally they can make a library card add-on to have it as a subscription.
Current services are all in their own corner and often don’t have old content such as dubbed cartoons from people’s childhood.
Piracy is also limited, finding rugrats in a Scandinavian language is pretty much impossible.
Caveman@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Since bits are ones and zeroes, and also mean true/false and on/off by extension, doesn't that mean all solutions to IT problems are just turning something off and on again at some level?1·4 months agoStudied computer science. The answer is yes.
A computer is a funky thingy that’s a jumbled city of stuff turning on and off with the one master on/off thingy which is the clock on the processor.
When it switches from negative to positive a lot of small switches everywhere switch, some stay the same, some flip. It’s all just a bunch of rythm dancing of switches going off and on.
