Netflix DVD delivery did, yes. It’s also shutting down in September, which is sad.

I personally prefer silence over radio.

Everyone here is negative, but I don’t know why cable didn’t die 25 years ago when Netflix showed up. I certainly have not had any interest in it since then. Then again, I play games far more than I watch movies, so I am not a typical consumer.

Just celebrated my 111th birthday. Now I’m off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.

Rethinking Thin

The concept of calorie counting works. Just paying attention to how many calories all food has, results in changed behavior. At least, it did for me.

75% rye chips. The rest can be whatever

Lot of star power in this thread!

I’m going to go with George Carlin. Maybe that’s just me wishing I was that witty though.

Well, I’m convinced from that preview. Looks like the full movie is on youtube. Will have to check it out!

Hey HobbitFoot! Are you related to the Hobbiton Proudfoots/feet?

Feel free to join us at !hobbit_art@hobbit.world and post some of your hobbit family artwork.

If I browse !lemmy@lemmy.ml I don’t see this post. Only see it via the website. I really hope they implement post linking soon.

Oh, maybe !announcements@lemmy.ml

More hobbits are always welcome at: !hobbit_art@hobbit.world

I had to scroll all the way to the end to see someone else who loves chunks and marshmallows in their ice cream.

I like multiple textures. Gooey marshmallow, crunchy chips. Put it all in there.

I think that would fit the xkcd criteria for a positive unpopular opinion. I haven’t checked rotten tomatoes though.

Personally, the only modern Star Wars movie that blew my socks off was Rogue One. All the rest were either ok, or, not that great. But RO was absolutely amazing.

For painters, dickblick.com sells Liquitex and Golden paint cheaper than Amazon.

Every instance just needs to store the communities they use, just like now. But once cached, any other instance could grab those messages from any of those instances. It’d be a peer to peer sort of organization.

I can think of lots of caveats regarding freshness of content and trust and ensuring the tree of instances is auto organized to minimize depth. Maybe for trust you could have signatures for all content signed using keys that every instance could pull from the original instance just once every now and then.

Upvotes and responses would just travel up the tree in the reverse trip from the way content came down.

But, I think it’s similar to other things that already exist. These problems seem solvable.

If it worked like torrenting where you have seeds, etc, it’d scale almost infinitely. I don’t think we should change to fit the algorithm. We should change the algorithm to make it scale.

You’re right. I generally consider kbin and Lemmy to be part of the same thing.

It was well respected by me as the only social platform that wasn’t a form of self torture that countless people inexplicably partake in daily.

Now I consider Lemmy to have that singular position.

Could easily be a feedback loop. Everyone sees the same posts, so those posts keep getting new comments which keeps them active.

If userbase is increasing, new users will see these old posts under active for the first time and make them more active.

You’re right, although if you ever get the chance to browse a real physical encyclopedia, it’s a unique experience.

Not practical, but it’s a bit like playing a record or playing a game on a real NES. It’s a unique experience.

I have a full 2007 set of Encyclopedia Brittanica in the same room as my vintage computer collection. I browse it occasionally.
