Best idea I’ve seen so far is to comply - and let the nsfw posts just keep on coming. Show the advertisers how their ads are being shown next to nsfw, and see how that goes.

A big problem with this is that since 2016 the bots and hired commenters have thoroughly poisoned the intellectual well. What used to be considered extreme in 2016 was so artificially boosted that now real people have completely bought into the bullshit.

I wonder if you could guesstimate based on ad-buys - cost, interactions, etc.

Only when it’s pointless.

Two words: female Bond.

Plenty of great movies with females and/or female leads. Ghost busters was not one of them.

Plus I can pause to pee, vape away, set the volume on my surround sound exactly where I want, etc. And my 84” 4K DV/HDR+ OLED may not be a gigantic silver screen, but I enjoy it. Combined with 120TB of storage for Plex, I’m more than happy to wait for the bluray remux.

I used to fucking ADORE going to the movies - but nowadays, it needs to be a spectacular spectacular. Last movie I saw in the theater was Top Gun 2, and it was worthy.

No. Marketing typically equals production costs. So $400mm production + $400mm marketing = $800mm breakeven.

Kbin has this ability, but Lemmy does not (yet).

I’ve been getting a ton of cardboard spools, but I prefer plastic - cardboard is incompatible with my Bambu AMS. To resolve I have to wrap the edge with electric tape, use a printed adapter, or in the worst cases (the cardboard is damaged) respool.

Everything is edible once!

Totally depends on the challenge of the project - and it follows a bell curve. Too easy and it’s annoying, too difficult (or takes too long) and it’s fucking aggravating. But those rare Goldilocks projects that are a challenge but shit just clicks along? Chefs kiss.

Another vote for UniFi gear. I administer four homes for myself and my family, three of them all use UniFi equipment (and the fourth will next time I get over there, it’s in another country).

I went with BambuLabs and couldn’t be happier. As a total noob with a healthy budget for a new hobby I wanted something that I could use more often than I had to tinker with it, and it fit the bill nicely. (Don’t get me wrong, plenty of tinkering has still been required lol)

it looks like this in a museum gift shop

Yes, this is the official gift shop in the Roman Coliseum. I found it really strange that they would be selling 3d prints. It’s like, why?? If you want to sell plastic souvenirs, surely injection-molded plastic would be much more efficient, cost-effective, and higher quality.

It feels like maybe the gift-shop managers kid “had a great idea” for his new toy.

“Eco-friendly bio-resin derived from CORN!”

Bitch, that’s PLA! 😂😂

And the phone number matching, well that can easily be spoofed. Can never be too careful, gotta follow the process.

What is kbin.social doing differently?

Unknown about kbin, but I’ve heard that Hot is currently broken for (most?) instances across the lemmyverse. (This might be related to the size of the instance - apparently for small (single-to-double-digit users) instances Hot works fine?)

Edit: and this is supposed to be fixed in the next release, 0.18

Me too. I actually put in an application for an account on Beehaw on day 1 just because they seemed to be the most active (before I understood how any of this works.) Never got a reply - I think we both dodged a bullet 🤣

This actually looks worthy! Can’t wait!

Thoroughly enjoyed season 1, it’s quite bingeable. Can’t wait for S02!

Yeah I can see that.

Maybe name it /c/arborists? 🤷‍♂️

Shame that that baggage would have to carry over, but the flip side is can you imagine the confusion if it didn’t.
