x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto movies@lemm.ee•Movie night is starting in a few minutes. We're watching Blue VelvetEnglish11·19 days agoIt’s a joke. https://gvid.tv/v/oXgL30
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.world•W3C Standardizes Mozilla Developed Spying TechnologyEnglish12·21 days agoYou hurt their fee fees with that one.
x0x7@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows"English22·25 days agoWhen he was a teenager it would have been Slackware. Not even Knoppix was released yet.
And he didn’t use Linux as a teenager. You hallucinate things worse than ChatGPT.
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto movies@lemm.ee•Anyone want to watch The Room? We're doing it nowEnglish1·1 month agoWe wanted to but I had trouble getting a copy. I normally don’t have that problem with films but every torrent was being seeded by people with BPD.
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto movies@lemm.ee•Anyone want to watch The Room? We're doing it nowEnglish1·1 month agoA group online. We do movie nights on Friday night.
I’m the ffmpeg guy. It’s the pandoc of binary media, except it actually does do everything.
Hmmm. I need to write an PR for converting mardown to jpeg.
Does that invalidate what he said? Isn’t that just the genetic fallacy?
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Trump put higher tariffs on Israel than Iran: WTF that's awesome12·2 months agoTrue. But the US has a tendency to make exceptions for Israel. So the fact that he stuck to his math and didn’t get Israel a special exception is a small win for US Israel relations. (aka making them more normal).
Basically it’s exceptional that we didn’t make an exception. That’s kind of sad. But because it’s exceptional it’s worth noting.
That’s called chutzpah. People who take that strategy in life should be ignored.
My position is that no politician deserves respect.
x0x7@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•The New Video of Federal Agents Ambushing a Student and Disappearing With Her Should Chill You to Your CoreEnglish344·2 months agoThis is why we should end all federal policing. It’s not in the constitution. You were never meant to interact with your federal government. The federal government was for regulating the states, interstate commerce, and common defense.
x0x7@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Canada is buying advertising in the US (seen in Florida)119·2 months agoI wonder if Canadians can read and learn that their own tariffs are causing the same problems for them.
x0x7@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Canada is buying advertising in the US (seen in Florida)319·2 months agoWhich is pretty true. But it’s funny because Canada has tougher tariffs on the US meaning their people pay more for things there for exactly the same reason. Canada charges a 300% tariff on dairy.
So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let’s get rid of them entirely.
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto Videos@lemmy.world•Why Does This Industry Get Special Privileges?11·2 months agoSo instead you’d like protectionism for corporate moguls because at least it isn’t free market?
Found the communist so dedicated to communism that in turn he hates the free market so much that he’d prefer government backed inequality. Anything that points out that its wrong should be questioned as suspect as wrong think. It’s funny how useful the anti-wrong think crowd end up being to corporations.
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto Videos@lemmy.world•Why Does This Industry Get Special Privileges?12·2 months agoWhat makes you think he supports Trump? What a strange comment.
Jokes on them. I’m going to use AI to estimate the value of content, and now I’ll get the kind of content I want, though fake, that they will have to generate.
x0x7@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Tariff Isn't Tax on Other Countries?🤪English102·2 months agoBring on the downvotes but the correct answer is don’t. Free trade causes jobs in each country to align with recardiant advantage in those countries. We have the jobs we want now. Unless we are in the middle of a depression we don’t want government to “provide more jobs”. We don’t need more jobs. We want better jobs. The whole reason why manufacturing has slowed down in the US is that the global market for manufacturing doesn’t pay as well per man hour as other opportunities we already have.
Tariffs disrupt existing jobs to bring back old jobs. Old jobs we shouldn’t want as much as the jobs we have now.
If you want to work a job that someone else is doing right now you should probably expect to make close to what they are making while doing it. Actually less because you are increasing supply. Do we want Americans to make Chinese wages? Now some manufacturing in the US doesn’t pay Chinese wages because its work only we can do, hence why it is here, and pays American wages. But if you want to “take back manufacturing” then you are talking specifically about manufacturing they have already demonstrated they can do. So any of that manufacturing will pay at most a Chinese wage. Why the hell would you want those jobs?
Actually the more a company spends on advertising the more it’s going to be a cheap scammy product. Have you ever bought anything off TV? I don’t recommend it. $29 minimum for things that should be in a $5 misc bin at Walmart. Why? You are paying for their marketing.
