Luckily for us, that seems to be some piss-weak nearly-water coffee.
My brain is telling me, the bottom right picture has to be the fluffiest thing to possibly exist fluffily in the universe
Could that be the common ground for the India-Pakistan conflict to come to an end?
This made me check on how pixelfed has been faring, since I remember them going through a huge boom recently - and to my joy, they still have a very large (for fediverse standards) community, they even rebounded a bit from the initial drop of people leaving after trying it out!
As just a personal thing, the original mute watching was so surreal and unique, I enjoyed it more - solving the mystery of what is happening from what's shown visually alone (and some subdued music) - but that is a deeply subjective thing.
you should also get back together with that girlfriend and be on the phone with her while you watch it.
Oh no, I couldn't do that to her, she definitely deserved better.
I had been worried a tad bit, how well the system would translate out to Streaming - but it worked a lot better than I imagined, halfway through I had even uploaded more than downloaded, as well as downloaded more from peers than from the central server.
Also, that was probably the biggest live stream I witnessed myself so far on PeerTube, a milestone in its own right.
Done and done - it was about time I got an account there anyway.
That is a possible explanation, although I think it was weirder than that, because I remember checking some "obvious" settings like that afterwards. I also re-encoded the file with VLC media player out of curiosity, where it should have just re-encoded whatever audio track it had, without adjusting it to a specific output device, and the resulting file then also had the same issue when played in SMPLayer (whereas the original worked in SMPlayer).
I might still have both files laying around on my NAS, but I myself at least don't really have the energy right now to go into a rabbit hole again years after the fact, and sharing them would be non-trivial.
So, I once watched The Lighthouse together with my then girlfriend remotely, being in a long distance relationship at the time. We used the same file, started at the same time and were in chat together.
The audio codec of this (of course 100% legal) file for some reason did not work with my VLC player properly. There were no voices. But it also wasn't just complete silence, some music and subtle, surreal sound effects came through. None of this was happening for my ex, btw, even though we had the same file.
Talking about the movie in chat and afterwards was fascinating, I only then realised it was, in fact, not a masterful, purposeful, stylistic choice: A major production not just in black and white, but as a silent movie. I also was able to get the essential things that happened and the important plot points, so that is also another point very much in favour of the film.
Ja, das ist auch nicht weiter verwunderlich - Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund machen aus strukturellen Gründen einen großen Anteil im Niedriglohnsektor aus, wo oft aufgestockt werden muss - und gerade Namen aus dem orthodox-slawischen Bereich sind zB hier stark repräsentiert - nicht verwunderlich, bei den strukturellen Problemen für eine gerade erst vor kurzem als große Gruppe hierher geflohene.
Eine Überrepresentation sagt halt an sich wenig aus ohne weitere Analyse, und Bürgergeld empfangen bedeutet nicht gleich nicht arbeiten. (Und zusätzlich, weil ich das zu oft vergessen sehe: Nicht arbeiten bedeutet auch nicht automatisch, nichts zur Gemeinschaft beitragen, z.B. durch anderweitiges Engagement sowohl offiziell in Vereinen und co, als auch inoffiziell, in Freundschaften, Familien, Nachbarschaften, etc.)
Wow, it really is a thing and not just a meme:
Oh no, my tastes tell me I am all four on the bottom right, so, basically chaotic evil and neighbours 🤔
