    Germany looks like a dead straight line, yet the text says it could see a large drop by 2030. Sure, it could also see a large rise in arable land, no reason or context is given.

  • on old sitcoms, why did they make a point of saying 'filmed before a live studio audience'?

    Many that were filmed in front of a live audience still had a laugh track. Either to correct them not laughing or not laughing enough at the clearly excellently written jokes, or laughing at things they weren't supposed to was removed or dampened.

    Ah you're right. The limit is probably still not in effect, given the light conditions, but that's just guess work.

    Edit: like like the dashboard clock says 18:27, so it's probably fine.

    The signs below the speed limit (probably, cause pixels) say "bei Nässe", which means "only when wet". So assuming this is an Autobahn, and it does look like one, it's probably fine.

    So there are power outages happening before the storm even reaches land (and after it dissipates, outside of it's path), so much that it looks a bit like random noise? Is that normal over there?

    The only studio that I have to completely avoid because of this, who actually make games I'd normally play, is frontier developments. Think things like planet coaster, Jurassic world evolution or stranded: alien dawn. They also never remove it. I think I read a quote that whoever is in charge believes people will "get over it" and eventually buy it anyway. I can't speak for others, but I sure won't.

    It's a shame, but there are other games in the genre(s) that are just as good, arguably better. And I already own more games than I can play, as the backlog seems to just grow.

    If a game has Denuvo, I will just not buy it. Ever. I won't even consider it until it's removed. Thankfully it doesn't happen too often that games that interest me have it, but it does happen.

    Since this can't be quantified, because there is no real way to get numbers on people that do this or similar things (except for "wild guessing"), three big ones (being public or backed by traditional investors) can't make an argument for not having it. So here we are.

  • Alternative to syncthing for large music collection?

    Ad others have said, nextcloud won't rescan or reindex on a reboot. no idea why sync thing does, and surely there must be some way to disable that, too. I'm still hesitant to recommend NC as it's somewhat fragile, needs way more babying than I'm willing to keep up with and just does too many things, none of them anywhere close to "well". File sync on real computers works solidly if you have a reliable connection (don't get me started on Android).

    Have you considered using a real media-hoster, like Jellyfin (or like a dozen others)? Jellyfin works fine for music (the are other music-only solutions though). There are plenty of clients that can stream, and have offline support (download a subset/albums/playlists) for things like laptops, phones, ... The server can usually transcode audio formats that a client can't play, in real-time, if needed.

    Edit: I realize I wasn't clear as to what this means in practice. You essentially get a self-hosted Spotify. Your library, run from your server, optionally you can connect to it from anywhere.

    "a few hundred more" for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that "lucky".

    I actually have it installed on my desktops. It doesn't work on mobile and it doesn't work on thumbnail previews in lemmy either. Also the number of videos that actually have an alternative thumbnail is like 10%, at best.

    I've also "gotten over it" by just not watching videos like this.

    How many horror movies do you (or they) think people generally watch around Halloween? Imma guess it's no where near 40 on average.

    It might be, but you've managed to focus on the single thing in my comment that was just a side note, and tongue-in-cheek as well. You literally ignored my whole point.

    Let's be explicit: The point is you can't make the company go into a direction the leadership doesn't want. "Protests" might have a short term effect, at best. that huge protest on Reddit when they changed API terms and more? Barely anyone actually left the platform. Not regular users, but mods did, making the platform technically worse, but the users clearly don't notice. Or don't care enough to leave.

    You can't make a company that size do anything, not as an individual, not as a group. Maybe as a share holder, obviously. I hope you got some millions to spare.

    You said "we all should care". What for? What does that do? "Caring" is the activists version of "thoughts and prayers". It's saying something, or thinking about something, but has no effect in the real world.

    The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a [comment ](https://lemmy.world/comment/11514952) that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while. In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example [this comment](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/19910529/12087607) shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess). Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
