I don’t agree with this network access take. A lot of endangered cultures are simply being assimilated.

I was in a casual quiz in Hong Kong recently and one of the questions required us to know a language with less than 100 speakers. The default answer the quizzers had expected was Macanese Patuá. That sort of regional dialect existed in such a restricted set of conditions and between two different pressures to remove it (between Cantonese and Portuguese), that globalization simply drowned it out.

Hmmmm…

Nothing wrong here.

Netorare, Cuckholdery. Basically an entire branch of porn where the plot has one man watch “his” woman be taken by another man. It’s overdone in some circles and completely absent in others which makes me think there’s some degree of turnoff associated with it that is cultural.

This is why I expect the video side of things to be more on the level of stream channels that self-host content with subscriptions for access to VoDs, rather than singular big platforms. Streaming in of itself is a lot of traffic too, but you have much bigger RoI per bandwidth spent with live viewers, and you cut down the storage requirements with limited VoD access too.

The only problem then becomes discovering these channels from the rest of the federated space, but honestly, either that will be a problem that will be solved by the space in a more general manner (oooh, imagine the return of web rings! Lol) or… It will end up being an issue that doesn’t matter. Like right now, still coming from video games, MinnMax and Second Wind are two creator-owned platforms that appear to be relatively unpopular, with short amount of thousands of views, except they run off of donations on Patreons and the viewers they do have keep them afloat with a good decent margin.

No no, see, maybe they’re evil because they produced an oxygen rich atmosphere in the first place and caused the collapse of other would-be lifefor-

Uh? Cyanowhat did what? You mean not the trees? But weren’t they up here during the carbonara making all the coal? Oh, I see. Ah. Okay.

I guess this is why Cheating/NTR porn is also so regional in terms of popularity. Because how much it turns off others fluctuates and it lingers on the border.

One of the things most people I know like about Azula is that the show ended with her still being evil. They wrote her to be genuine with herself, and that meant no redemption.

“could”?

Lol

I’m only on my very first year of DevOps, and already I have five years worth of AI giving me hilarious, sad and ruinous answers regarding the field.

I needed proper knowledge of Ansible ONCE so far, and it managed to lie about Ansible to me TWICE. AI is many things, but an expert system it is not.

If we had a massive population decline, yet, we did not have a global infrastructure collapse (so, magic instant death) then I believe some of the survivors would pretty quickly realize they need yo go find the cold storage of tons of semen samples.

They’re not market researching the gameplay. They’re market researching the visual elements, the animations, the artstyle, the sounds, the indicators…

You don’t know that

Literally any doomer mentality is generally considered unpopular the more you elaborate on it. Even if it starts popular.

For example: I would like to explain why I think we need less people. That sounds agreeable. We need less people urgently tho. It’s the fundamental, foundational reason behind a large part of the world’s problems. That is still… somewhat… agreeable, But… But. But but… solving it? And there we go, because see, there’s only three methods to actually achieve it, and every single one of them will get people mad about this thing called “human rights” if we deem any of method worth trying.

So yeah, we’re doomed. Humanity is going to land on a critical point of failure in 300 years.

I literally never seen anything Furry on Lemmy, but it took me 2 minutes on Bkuesky to find not one but two prolific Bara artists.

“Hide all American news” would basically fix 50% of the issues.

There’s a slight gotcha here:

I’m in Asia and a lot of traditional chinese medicine you can buy is just regular medicine with a marketing disguise hiding the fact. Why yes, this is a box of whatever the fuck extract, very interesting, old northern recipe to cure the shit, let me just check what’s written on this paper, and, yep, there it is, it’s just Loperamide but with an additive to make it taste like Ginseng. Got it.

The longer the vehicle, the less sense this question makes.
