Its kind of fucked either way. They're too short but a lot happens because each book is broken into thirds that are separated by huge time gaps, and inside those thirds there are also time gaps. A movie, even a long one, would be incredibly disjointed and the pacing would feel bizarre.

I imagine it's probably why nobody has made it a series or movie before even though it's such a beloved sci Fi series. You'd have to take a lot of creative liberties with it, which is for better or worse, what they're doing.

This is not a legal passage.

The entire article is about how it was upheld in court so...

I knew I recognized that shade of sadness...er...brown.

Also research over COVID showed productivity didn't decline at all, and in many cases increased while working remote. Turns out a lot of people work better when they aren't wasting half their day getting in a small box, trekking to a dofferent small box inside a bigger box for absolutely no reason.

Also a good observation but I'm not sure it would be a big hindrance. It would need to be 90 degrees to open before encountering the ceiling which is only a tiny bit less than where it currently hits those stairs., You'd probably want a stopper there to protect both door and ceiling. Maybe even put one on the ceiling itself. For an already off room that might look kinda cool.

Actually most are doing fine/not seeing a huge influx anymore. Beehaw is even downsizing. The rexxit bump is largely past and the usage is finding it's new level. That plus version improvements is reducing load.

That said, nothing wrong with donating to an instance you like! I donate to the ones that disclose their financials. I like the transparency and helps me assess if my donation is fair/equitable.

RedZone is my preferred way to watch. Some people find it too jarring and die hards want to watch only their team but to me having the entire day with no commercial breaks is an absolute game changer.

For out of market games though, your options are Sunday ticket or streams. I use sportsurge (.net or .io are both good) if there's a game I want that isn't one of the prime time games.

Was it though? The Metaverse may have been an unsuccessful venture but it was a pretty successful rebrand. Facebook was getting dragged through the shitter (100% deserved), and while nobody seems to give a shot about meta, you do hear less and less about Facebook from just about everywhere. Zuck somehow managed to distance himself from his cancer of a product without shutting it down in any way shape or form just by changing the name of his company to a dud product.

That's savvy, even if it wasn't the profit factory outcome he wanted. By comparison, Elon is speedrunning driving the ONLY real competition Facebook has right into a brick wall.

Thanks for raising awareness. Seeing a lot of liftoff, connect, jerboa and wefwef but not as much thunder. I personally like thunder the best so far of the four.

Also, pro tip, we can all prefer different apps! There is no right or wrong app, there's just whichever is right for you!

I haven't run Linux in ages (2012 maybe?) But I'm about ready to give it another look. I use windows on my machine less and less frequently, and it seems like it's never been easier to switch to something less "taking all the control away from the user" focused.

The "chat" community on most instances is another good rec, especially on the midsized ones. Like people ask Lemmy how-to or recommendation questions all the time. Neat as I can tell they're mostly a catch all for conversations, so questions get asked a lot too.

Same bro (or broette). I still have my account, and I have logged in twice this month, and no times since the blackouts. I will go back occasionally, probably more when football/hockey seasons start. But what I learned in all this was there are other communities where friendlier discussion happens. Where disagreements don't come with insults, and I can feel less like a number. I'm cool with that.
