Just host your own instance.
Others are luckily always free to block you, but you do not need to worry about losing your account.
There is not really any downside to hosting your own instance either, thanks to federation, you get to participate in the wider Lemmy community as an equal member.
Sounds like you never wanted to be friends, just fuck them.
I’m almost sorry to be blunt, but…
Women don’t want to be chased. You’re a misogynist who has reduced women to “people to have sex with” in your own mind.
If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don’t, you don’t. Either way it’s up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.
The one exception here: it’s great to have it installed on your parents’ PC when you’re the one doing the update once in a while when you are around. Rock solid in between, no nagging, and if something did break, easy to roll back.
Wait, not the other way round? One tale per 70-min episode?
(With the priest’s tale getting an initial 1.5hrs opening episode? 👀)
Hah… Fair 😄 Hope you’ll get the chance!
Interesting - this is the first time I have seem someone (implicitly) dislike Villeneuve’s version (though to be fair, I have not closely followed the discourse around it). DO you have additional grievances, beyond the actors?
For myself: Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos. I know that I will never be in a situation to do as the question above suggests (nor that I would have the knowledge or skills required), but I am currently re-reading the books (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion), and I can’t stop thinking about a big screen adaptation.
Or rather, Simmons’ writing is so vivid, so vibrant that you can’t help but visualize it in a cinematic way before your inner eye anyways. The alien, but still somewhat familiar environments, the gargantuan forces of nature and expansive backgrounds just as much as the more intimate set pieces, cities, secret meeting rooms, and so on. “Every Frame a Painting” is something I’ve heard said about some movies, and these books are the textual equivalent: “Every page cannot be helped but be turned into a Painting”. The Hyperion Cantos isn’t even my favorite book or anything the like; it’s just something that screams for an adaptation IMO, and a beautiful one at that.
I also think that the story is exceptionally well suited for either a limited series (Hyperion & Fall of Hyperion) or a movie (Endymion, Rise of Endymion). In fact, I am convinced that if this had been made into a series back in the early/mid 2010s, it could have had a genre- and generation-defining impact akin to (the early seasons of…) Game of Thrones. Today… I’m not sure a studio would spend the required amount of money to make this good.
(Also yes I made this post simply because I had nowhere else to put this comment.)
Is it really micromanaging? What you described sounds like coaching. With a professor / teacher, they are there to help you with doing things the correct / efficient way; and with a conductor, its them steering the orchestra towards their vision.
Grew up on it. My dad set up a Ubuntu 4.10 PC for my brother and I when we were 3/5 (no internet, obv), and it stuck.
Used Windows for a brief time in highschool to be able to play online with friends.
Went right back to Linux when going to university. Will never change back, both for ideological reasons and because Linux is just better.
Next step: NixOS on a phone
Alright, thanks for the info, that’s good to know. Trying to make the jump becomes more enticing every day.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds about as good/bad as I was expecting. How’s the browser experience? Also, are there any features/tweaks you are aware of that you could not get through Nix, that the more “commercial” Linux device manufacturers have developed for their devices?
Holy crap! A NixOS-on-phone user in the wild! You are rocking my dream setup. How’s your experience been with it? Is it remotely daily drivable for phone things?
I honestly don’t get the hostility, wtf.
If you prefer something other than Jellyfin, good for you.
Sorry, but the person above made a blanket statement that Jellyfin sucks for music streaming.
Alas, it does not; example: me, guffaw
Have zero problems with Jellyfin as the Server, Symfonium as the client on mobile / music assistant for streaming to sonos at home
Out of curiosity, where on this curve lies “20k lines of Nix config”? (Asking for a friend 👀)
OK, so what you want is for other people to volunteer their time and money to keep an instance running. That, by itself, is honestly fine, and many people are happy to do so.
But you then also do not want to play by their rules. That part is not fine.
