At the moment, it’s seen more like using a proxy or VPN. UK users connect to fuk outside of the UK, then the messages are relayed to zip. Fuk is UK focussed, so tries to work with the OSA.
The best analogy is using a UK-focussed email service (wherever it’s actually hosted) to email a non-UK address.
On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.
I did it once a few years ago (IIRC with a copy of Falling Down by Muse, not for any particular reason), and compared V0 320 with FLAC.
After amplifying the tiny, tiny wiggle of a sound that was left, I was left with very slight thin echoes, mostly well above 10k.
The sort of stuff you really wouldn’t worry about, unless you 100% wanted bit-perfect reproduction, or wanted to justify a £2000 pair of headphones.
Funnily enough, that was the point I stopped bothering to load FLAC onto my DAC, and just mirror everything into V0 for portable use.
A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.
Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it’s true. Though I’m sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.
feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That’s hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.
Plus our time, but we’re obviously doing it as a labour of love.
I wonder if someone could convince a LLM that they were a sovcit.
“I don’t understand. I bought a ceiling fan with razor edge blades to scare off burglars, but it fell down and decapitated grandma”
Countries toeing the line to allow CCP China to save face, while also selling defense equipment to Taiwan.
But they are ready to take the jobs of motivational speakers.
And it’s also “Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!”, so Jenner utterly mangled the quote too.
Belfast and Dublin would have been nice.
I can’t see how anyone involved with allowing this isn’t complicit.
What possible reason did the police of a foreign nation need to be physically there for, other than physically removing someone?
You will be truly British once you register on feddit.uk
In seriousness, I like to think it’s a state of mind. If you find yourself generally aligning most with the more positive British attitudes, you’re British. Though living in Wales, you may end up feeling more Welsh eventually!
If you want to feel more connected, try getting involved with local festivities and traditions.
Explore the countryside with the Ramblers. Do some pub quizzes. Go to a folk festival.
The sorts of things that involve you with pleasant people.
If any federated banning networks do pop up, I’d expect them to form groups, with different groups having different standards. And the idea being that if someone’s banned from one place with similar standards, the rest of the group probably wouldn’t welcome the content.
It’ll come down to places and groups being reasonable, and not banning for stupid reasons (at least by that group’s standards). And if they are unreasonable, it’ll reflect on the group, as nobody would bother posting to those instances any more.
And in a way, the ultimate “ban” will be with the host instance, similarly to email.
An admin at lemmy.world might get a report that an account is spreading csam links everywhere, and to consider banning them, for example.
They have boiled one of the most well cooked frogs in the entire tech industry
Plus, there isn’t that much by way of an alternative for the same money. Edit: I’ve just done a little legwork, and Tidal might work for me… Even with the recent price hike, it’s £4/user/month for a family plan, for access to 95% of the world’s music.
For all its flaws, and really hit-and-miss algos, I struggled to find something better for around the same money.
Honestly? It’s tricky to find communities that give you a spread.
I can recommend picking an instance that has a secondary alignment with you (for example, country/state), as they’ll tend to pick up posts in All that may be of interest other than politics.
(Though tbf, our instance still leans left on whole. Just not so crazily)
Hell of a way to bury the announcement.
TIL my car has been making speedcore every day for the last decade.
I’ve been really pleased with the feddit.uk community so far. It probably helps that a lot of us are geographically similar.
I considered this, but was forbidden: The limescale would leave it looking manky.
