I tried to get into this game because I like Rimworld but damn is it so hard to learn. I couldn’t even get past the tutorial.

Some (maybe most) of these accounts are likely using custom domain linking instead of a server.

Yup, the Hideaki Anno movie! I think it’s one of the greatest movies I’ve seen. There’s a chapter of the book called Sexography that discusses the movie very well. It kind of helped me understand the issue a bit more.

I haven’t seen Ritual yet but it’s on my watch list!

• Perfect Blue
• The End of Evangelion
• Love & Pop

“Sans Soleil” by Chris Marker.

It’s a documentary that only uses “stock footage” and a woman reading letters. It’s about time and memory and other philosophical stuff.

Qwant isn’t available in a lot of countries though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant

I have a few professors who have wikipedia pages if that counts.

Are server costs just generally cheaper/easier in colonial countries to run or is it purely a money and time thing?

They are cheaper. Locations outside US/EU and very few countries in Asia are sometimes called “exotic” and can be a bit expensive. Lemmy also has this issue where servers that are distant from each other lag behind.

Porkbun asks for your ID now so that might not be “privacy-respecting” but their CS is very helpful from my experience.

I have domains in Netim and Spaceship, and I have no problems with either so far.

Good work-life balance.

Political campaign ads. Not a product so it might be different. I remember watching one that took advantage of homeless people and it made my stomach hurt.

Nobody mentioned Tridactyl yet so… Tridactyl. It’s the best vim keybindings extension for Firefox I’ve tried.

Mods and admins can remove posts but they do stay only if they’re “removed”. But if they’re “purged”, then they’re deleted from the server.

RimWorld. It’s so fun watching your colonists at work, peacefully farming, and suddenly one of them gets hit by a chunk of steel followed by a hundred bear raid.

Very relaxing.

pict-rs has the option to compress images. Ours is set to WEBP with 1280 pixels either side max.

YouTube. Content-wise, there isn’t a better platform for videos. Except maybe Vimeo for indie films.

I don’t remember which update it was but newer versions of Lemmy use significantly less database storage.

Usually just browse the web on my phone or answer messages and emails.
