Blocked it đź‘Ť
Two other communities on the list, one from feddit.rocks and one from lemm.ee, seem to be on the list too given that they're also unblockable, and should probably stay that way given that unlike the thunder one, they seem to target specific Lemmy users.
I guess I'll ask the Arctic developer if there's a way to detect instance-blocked communities to filter those two communities from my list as well.
To maximize the value of my All feed, I preemptively block communities whose posts I don't think I'll find interesting, minimizing how much All feed scrolling I end up needing to do.
While I don't need to block communities that are already instance-blocked, I'd still rather they not clutter the app's Lemmy Explorer feed, hence why I had asked the developer to filter out communities from blocked instances. If it's possible to tell which communities are blocked at the instance level, I'm hoping that the Arctic developer can extend the current filtering to communities blocked at the instance level to de-clutter the Lemmy Explorer list further.
Personally, my main Linux usage so far has been the Steam Deck, which uses an immutable version of Arch Linux on which Flatpaks are the primary means of software installation.
The other main multi-distribution package formats seem to be Snaps and AppImages. AppImages seem to work anywhere, due to being self-contained, while Snaps have a dependency that appears to make them a viable alternative to flatpaks on systems other than the Steam Deck, which can't easily make use of Snaps due to the immutability of SteamOS. There's also Nix packages, though they don't seem to be as prevalent as the other three.
Otherwise, most major Linux distributions also have their own native package formats, such as Deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu, Pacman for Arch Linux, and RPM for Red Hat and Fedora.
Not sure how difficult it is to maintain different Linux packages types for a program, but thanks for your effort to bring Blorp to Linux!
and wreck an ugly MAGA lie
The problem is that MAGA people either don't know about the problem, don't care about the problem, or would actively harm foreigners (or American minorities, for that matter) if it put even a penny in their pocket or made them feel superior.
Only the people that already know the republicans are lying their pants off know it's a lie, a fact worsened by corporate news media and social media firms censoring the virality of anything that could hurt the far-right.
As long as scarcity increases revenues from enterprise customers, they have no incentive to increase the supply of gaming GPUs back to a level that fulfills all demand at a price that doesn't rip off consumers.
MKVToolNix Batch Tool should be able to do it automatically, assuming the subtitle format is supported.
Yes, since the pronunciation of Volkswagen can be inferred from taking 'Volks' as rhyming with 'Folks' and either pronouncing 'wagen' as intended—with 'gen' rhyming with the 'gain' in 'again'—or just pronouncing it as 'wagon'. In contrast, the pronunciation of 'kt' at the end of 'flohmarkt' can't be inferred from an existing English word. Additionally, using the spelling 'flow' disambiguates the English pronunciation of 'floh', especially when dialect is taken into account.
Ultimately, because Volkswagen has had decades of advertisements marketing its proper pronunciation and making the brand name widely-recognized, it has an inherent advantage in terms of brand recognition to start with.
Why do you think the U.S. decided to withdraw
Trump was elected.
what role did concerns about economic burdens play in that decision?
Those were the only concerns taken into account.
Do you agree with the argument that the agreement was unfair to the U.S.
No.
do you think it was a necessary commitment to addressing climate change?
Yes.
How do you think the withdrawal impacted global efforts and international relations
It'll discourage other countries from living up to the targets of the agreement, whether they continue participating on paper or not.
It makes China's environmental efforts look good in comparison, so the logical thing to do (if lobbyist bribes weren't holding us back) would have been for the US to outcompete China in that field too, since being a market leader in renewable energy is getting more and more valuable with each passing year.
did it weaken the collective fight against climate change or influence other nations’ decisions
Undoubtedly.
Should economic concerns ever take precedence over environmental responsibilities in agreements like this?
For long term economic success, those environmental responsibilities must be fulfilled to account for the negative externalities of any industry that pollutes the environment. Ignoring them offsets those costs onto others, artificially increasing short-term profits.
Admittedly, if you're already using private torrent trackers, you'll probably find more missing releases by working towards joining higher tier trackers than usenet alone has. Usenet is more worthwhile for people without high enough bandwidth to build the ratio needed to join such trackers.
Unfortunately it's a relatively new TV that just happens to not be a smart one. Having helped my other relatives pick an inexpensive Google TV powered smart TV specifically for its VLC compatibility, I would have preferred to have done the same in this case, but hopefully I can find something that'll work all the same.
I can imagine the phone-to-roku streaming method working well, particularly given the simplicity of Roku OS, though in terms of USB drive usage, past testing on a dedicated Roku TV has been mixed in terms of codec compatibility, unfortunately.
While all websites should have valid certificates, I did run into a case a week ago of the Sears Home Services website seemingly having an invalid one.
In trying to cancel my grandma's account with them, I found that their website wasn't well mobile-optimized, and Firefox refused to load it, so I ended up having to use Chrome to load the website and cancel the service.
Loading such a website should be allowed, perhaps with a warning about phishing and/or other security risks. Given that there are valid websites with invalid certificates, their inaccessibility risks discouraging people from using Firefox.
