In the past!

My 20TB drives cost me $17 per TB 2 years ago. The exact same model is now at $33 per TB :(

Unless these people are mute they don’t need you to speak for them.

Probably AI. It’s pretty good at making things shitty. Though, the same could be said about reddit admins.

Yes, people tend to watch porn of people they find attractive … kind of the point.

Piracy!

Do they report about it when they are right? Neither seems particular newsworthy or interesting. People have always been betting on shit, who cares?

media still presents a storage problem.

I guess HDD prices are quite high right now, which is annoying. But what is this general storage problem supposed to be?

Spiders.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

I probably watched The Man from Earth (2007) over ten times.

The entire concept of cinemas is obsolete and I can’t wait for the last one to go out of business.

Except that way fewer people enjoy having them licked.

That’s nice for small collection, but I don’t want to buy a 2 TB SD card for my phone that I then have to keep in sync, so streaming from my home server is a far better option.

And with a music play with a cache, you can still listen to your regular playlists while offline.

If one values the well-being of people

Not really. I mean, what are the chances there are two murderers in the house?

I know quite a few proper arachnologists from other communities, but none of them uses lemmy. Reddit’s r/spider community is really one of the only things I miss about that platform. It was a great community. We were like 10 people that did identifications and regularly pm’d and tagged each other in posts, because we even knew each others specific areas of expertise …

It’s no fun being the only “authority” on a subject, because I do get shit wrong sometimes and there is no one to challenge it, really.

True. But to proof I’m not a total hack, I do have at least 3 books! And they were actually nearby because I regularly use them.

I moderate !spiders@lemmy.world. I quite enjoy doing identifications, though those are hard to verify if you, well … don’t know any better :D

edit: also, If anyone does know better, I’ll happily invite them as a mod. Having second opinions is a good thing for these kind of communities!

It’s certainly not required since everybody can just create a community and be a moderator if they want to.

But I think at least with some smaller niche communities, people that have a special interest in them will tend to run them.

At least in my case I think I do have a special understanding of the topic I’m moderating, though I certainly don’t have a degree. Feel free to test me on it, though!
