Pics or it didn't happen.
(Seriously, I'd like to see the source of this story. Googling "Tim the pencil" doesn't bring up anything related.)
Der Fritz soll mal was sinnvolles tun und zum Bleistift fordern, dass man mal die Deutsche Bahn repariert. Das wäre toll und echt eine Erleichterung für einen Stadt-Menschen wie mich.
Und konträr zu was der so faselt, ist das glaube ich recht klar, dass öffentlicher Nahverkehr 'ne ziemlich zukunftssichere Technologie für die urbanen Regionen von Heute und der nächsten 10 - 20 Jahren sein wird. Das könnte auch ein Jurist oder Kinderbuchautor verstehen...
I'm pretty sure I've seen Star Trek episodes where they wake the captain because something happened during one of the other shifts.
Sure. To prepare someone to become a responsible adult, they need information. Learn things good and bad. Understand especially WHY people do things and consequences of actions.
I mean if you exclude half the truth, your kids will not learn how to judge things and make decisions.
And things not being etically 100% correct is not a reason to hide them altogether. I mean my mom also reads murder mystery stories and murder is not okay... I think beginning with a certain age it is important to learn also about ambiguous stuff. It's part of life.
That doesn't mean I'd have to teach them myself. But I'd talk to them and make sure they learned the right things.
Stay at a friend's house where people don't wear shoes inside and watch them.
They really aren't. But with Peertube and video platforms, it's a bit different than for example on Mastodon or here. You wouldn't want wo watch a Mastodon's ALL feed. It's just 400 random posts in a row and then one that sparks your interest. And no one wants to scroll through just loads of random, non-interesting stuff.
On Peertube the "All" feed - the one on the main page - needs to be somewhat useful. To deliver quality content and provide you with new videos to watch. Not just some random ramblings mixed with 3h Minecraft videos mixed with political videos that got banned on YouTube mixed with MLP...
And that's why many Peertube admins don't just include all the content out there. It mainly leads to people being annoyed and saying YouTube shows videos they're interested in and Peertube is just random junk.
But they aren't defederated. You can usually access that content, subscribe to those channels and watch all the stuff. It's just not displayed by default.
I think both approaches are useful. Curated content is nice. You can have for example instances for tech-related stuff, some for tinkerers and makers, some for gamers and some for poliyical drama. They form little bubbles and their peer groups gets relevant videos displayed to them. And they're not closed off. You can still subscribe to all the other content you're interested in.
(There are however also instances that subscribe to everything. And there is actual defederation happening. I don't think the Peertube software shows which instances are defederated to the viewers. There are like 4 instances with porn you might block as an admin and several dubious ones with fascist/nazi content and several more ones dedicated to fake news and covid misinformation. These are blocked on many instances, that is true. The drama behind that is easy to explain: Most people don't like fascists and don't want to support them or give them an audience. And the covid-liers came to Peertube after they got banned on YouTube and Facebook and it annoyed people. It was the same 50 videos with misinformation over and over again and shaky videos of people discovering "nano-bots" in the masks (if you ask me, looks eerily similar to black lint and dirt) and after is started to drown out better quality content and got annoying, we gave them the boot and went on with our lives. I don't think it's too much drama. And it's not that many 'bad' instances. I can't say how many instances other admins blocked but back when I tried Peertube I blocked like 40 instances and there was no good content on them anyways. And I don't think you're talking about those in the first place since it's hard to figure out which instances are completely blocked.)
I think the XPS 13 is a nice device.
For reference: I think your mistake was buying a Lenovo laptop without the word "ThinkPad" in the name. There are Lenovo Thinkpad something devices. They are (usually) more likely to support Linux. And there are Lenovo comsumer devices and they're a mixed bag.
Both work quite differently. TOR routes you over several layers, obscures your IP and changes the IPs around occasionally so you can't be tracked.
With Bittorrent you want lasting connections to other peers to be able to receive and send all the data. This doesn't align with the ever changing IPs and stuff.
A VPN gives you one IP that you can have for hours.
A VPN supports UDP connections, TOR doesn't.
Connecting your Bittorrent client to the Socks-Proxy of a TOR client is a different setup than it just sending normal packets through a VPN tunnel.
TOR is slow (by design), a VPN is fast.
If your client or something leaks your IP it happens anyways, if you route it over one node or seven. All the extra energy is just wasted.
And bittorrent puts even more strain on the TOR network the way it works. Making it slower for anybody else. And (ab)using the resources volunteers provide. (And which are meant for better use-cases.)
They're on Mastodon. Quite a few. I think I'm subscribed to Stephen Fry and some others.
Fantastic. We need more content and art that is free for creative (re)use. I think this is called Free culture or Libre culture.
I think not only computer code is better when it's FLOSS, but every form of art greatly benefits from remixing, people taking something and pushing it forward. Using art as a from of debate.
And this works especially well without additional shackles like restrictive copyright or being proprietary.

Are you referring to me or BigFig? I'm neither a mile (I'm European, so we use the metric system), nor a mole. If you make me choose an animal, I'd like to be an alpaca. And I'd be willing to do a captcha to prove to you that I'm not a bot.
