you mean a computing pool, like SETI@home since the late 90s?

absolutely no need to make this idea stink of a crypto scam.

No, that’s not why.

does it still stand? are Hamas using the same supply chain of altered pagers?

signs point to no.

real users just inspect the blinkenlights array.

the letters are “supposed to be” for Latin, a language with only five different vowel sounds.

everyone since has just been making a bunch of shit up.

there are several orders of magnitude difference between text-forums with almost all multimedia content hosted externally, and hosting/streaming video.

a big Lemmy instance is a manageable cost for a few well-paid people to run out of their own disposable income.

anything even vaguely approaching YouTube is not.

by analogy with goose,

ceech

i read it as - the Premium money is mostly going to YouTube HQ, instead of to video makers.

Can confirm, at least for Acast distribution, I generally get no ads when I’m not in an English speaking country at the time of download.

However, iHeart podcasts are always absolutely crammed full of ads everywhere.

I was trying to help you see how you misunderstood, but sure. Beep boop.

whoosh

Mehta sounds like Meta, Fasbuk sounds like Facebook. it was a joke.

I’m Spanish and I don’t fight bulls. I’m from Poland. Also you shouldn’t call Europeans Spanish, it’s considered offensive. And maybe stop saying Europeans eat pasta, we don’t eat pasta.

IBM standard cards are one 48th of a barleycorn thick. I believe IBM measured from the 1932 Iowa Reference Barleycorn, now kept in the vault inside Mt Rushmore.

it’s bizarre without context, but i recognise what they mean - Sony’s headphones app suggests you send them photos of your ears so they can analyse the shape to improve the noise cancellation.

nor decoding 264 :(

a rather annoying regression from the 4 to the 5, especially when the 5 now supports more MIPI cameras where live encoding is crucial.

at least on a 4, this command will misleadingly return “disabled” even though your programs are able to use hwdec, because the h.265 decoder isn’t part of the Pi 4’s GPU, it’s elsewhere.

Freezing temperatures being obvious with a minus number is an advantage, not a problem, IMO. Easy to see from the bigger negative number when water will freeze more quickly, when snow is more likely to lie on the ground, etc.

americans really just have to remember a long list of random numbers like how many ounces a full pint is supposed to be, huh.

i’m imagining a whole day of school like, “when people say nickel, they mean 5 cents, a dime is 10 cents, 12 inches is a foot, 3 feet is a yard, water freezes at 32F and boils at 212F…” and the children just crying into their notebooks by the time they get to miles and tons and acres.

A lot of words to to express “I’m an American who doesn’t even have a passport.”

Can’t even imagine a walkable city, and talking about it like it’s a far-off sci-fi concept, rather than a lot of peoples’ actual everyday life. Yikes.
