Surely the only languages that are not weird are those specifically designed to be widely spoken?

And no-one wants to speak those!

It keeps the butter hard and useless?

"Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

It's German, and you're about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

Some of the flickering can be gotten rid of by disabling hardware-acceleration for qtwebengine.

I've got
`export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU_THREAD=1

export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu-compositing --num-raster-threads=1 --enable-viewport --main-frame-resizes-are-orientation-changes --disable-composited-antialiasing"`
in .bashrc.

Note that there is still enough flickering left to annoy, and some (appimage?) apps dont seem to register the setting.

I think what's happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I'm sorry, but I don't think the people won back then.

The Secret Superpower of Civilization.

(Reading is also kinda neat!)

Yes, and we can ask ourselves what technology we can make that makes things (even) better.

The European definition of rule of law requires that the law is predictable; something it wouldn't be if you can't find it or can't read it.

Which means you can just look for the European announcement of such things and read that.

Now, I'm not complaining about you, but fuck those two rags, that didn't see the need to link to their sources!

 

So, I've just set up my own peertube instance over at tube.puggaard-nyborg.dk, and that was surprising simple.

Or I should say that the instructions were surprisingly clear and correct, more so than what I've seen from other comparable open-source system.

Anyway, easy-peasy.

And now I want to follow some other instances, so I go looking at PeerTube instances.

And ye Gods are there a lot of ... people who don't agree with me politically.

Do any of you people out there know of a listing of instances-instances?

I'd settle for an instances-instance that leans anarchist, if you of any such beast?

The Japanese attitude seems to be that if there's a way to increase the likelihood that the alert will go through, then they will do that too.

Personally I find that the problem is that no one will let me in.

(Or even respond to the request!)

And sure, I can just start my own server and keep that up to date and running.

I acknowledge that, but that's just one more thing that gets in the way, and I have enough things to learn as it is.

Also, sure, some of these sites must at some time have responded to requests, and some might still do so, it's just a simple matter of trying again, right?
