I am fascinated by the idea. Why cassettes? At least vinyl is “lossless” on its first playback, but cassettes aren’t exactly high fidelity. Is it about the nostalgia? The vibe? The chonky, satisfying feel of the format?

Yes, the 4:3 image is the proper scene.

Here’s the clip

“Nerdface” I have called it.

There’s a fascinating book series, a trilogy beginning with Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. The magic system is sort of like writing software that effects the physical world.

At a certain point in this series, a group of people learn to link their minds, and they talk about how impossible it becomes to hate people when you’re able to completely empathize with them, their experiences, their weaknesses, etc.

That part really stuck with me.

Also he finally got a pretty good movie starring Willem Dafoe.

The ally flag gets fun colors! It’s the black and white background with a rainbow ∧ shape. I wear this as a pin sometimes. Also my favorite restaurant has one hanging proudly inside.

I used to drop that line into trade chat in WoW and watch the corrections come flying in from all directions. 🤣

Ad-free subscription services that actually benefit the creators are exceedingly rare.

Believe it or not, YouTube Premium is one of them. A Premium view is worth more than an ad-supported view to a creator.

(Obviously Patreon is better, as they can’t make a living off of only Premium views because it’s a smaller group; the population of ad-supported users is much much larger. But YouTube Premium does benefit the creators more than ad-supported YouTube does.)

Fuuuuuuuck yes, a playlist to binge.

Really just need the final frame.

Modern electric mowers use batteries, and they’re awesome.

Good thing Sauber is becoming Audi next season. That’s a lot of money for a title sponsor to lose (and it sounds like they deserve to lose it).

Everything is spelled out phonetically, but you can bet I was nerdy enough to correct our chorus master when she said we were singing in Orcish and it was actually Dwarvish.

I get to sing in a live performance of the Fellowship soundtrack this fall. The movie will play on a projector, the symphony and chorus will perform the soundtrack.

I’ve done this before for The Two Towers and Return of the King, over a decade ago. This year I get to complete the set!

Nothing says community like splintering the already tiny community into 90 smaller distros sub-communities

Splintering nothing. I’m on Piefed right now. The Fediverse means it plays nice with Lemmy just fine. Same with Mbin.

cm0002’s reply is a good summary. It’s an alternate platform, but because of the nature of the Fediverse it plays nicely with Lemmy. So I’m posting this on Piefed but you can read it with Lemmy, and vice versa.

I get it.

When Voyager got Piefed support I exported my communities and decided to try it. Loving it so far!
