No irc is not discord like. It lacks the most basic features.

I used to be of the opinion that searching history for issues was the best thing. But ive seen how many issues it creates and think its not worth it. Software is constantly being updated and the post from 6months ago is likely a completely different issue even if it sounds similar to yours.

Having access to real time individualized support for free is actually awesome from a user perspective. For devs they are able to let the community handle a lot of the requests and oversee that terrible advice isnt being shared.

You’re booming. Discord search is fine but you dont even need to search. Seeking assistance is easy > join post > get notified when someone answers you.

Compared to forums where you have to create and account post an introduction then deep dive on the forum to make sure your question hasnt been asked before then write up s big detailed post only for the mod to remove your post because it was in the wrong place.

Openshot is pretty simple. Its like windows media player.

Because it is barebones. New users need a distro to be configured for them to reasonable defaults.

What other things is she in where she does a good job? Because ive only seen her in GoT and so I remember her being a terrible actor.

Turn off smart shuffle. It tries to guess the songs you actually like instead of randomly selecting out of 2000. Also if Spotify were biasing smaller artists (they aren’t) that would be a good thing.

I reckon the co pilot key is used more than the key it replaced. I dont even know what that key did.

All Sony’s characters are boring and generic what could they possibly talk about.

We(average people) dont choose to offshore those companies. We only wanted to stop climate change.

Everything went offshore because the world’s countries added regulations and policy to try reduce emissions and manufacturing became cheaper in china because they did the opposite and raced to the bottom. China was in climate talks at the same time and was more than developed enough to have been making similar changes. Instead they went in the opposite direction. Intentionally deflating currency, scaling coal,mass deforestation, lying about emissions and policy direction.

Why would i ignore all that and blame individual international companies that are just trying to make and sell product? Thats nitpicking tiny parts of a large problem.

If its ok for china to do what they did then why is nz implementing climate policy? What’s the point we hurt ourselves for a 1% reduction only to have china increase emissions by more than out total emissions in a single year. If thry do make changes no one should and they didn’t. We are fucked unless china can actually make a serious reduction in emissions which thry seem completely unlikely to do in the next 5 years.

A company moving their steel plant offshore is a negative for that country. So the country isnt going to want to drive it out just to brag about a co2 reduction. The company might brag but so what. If the company wants to claim 90% reduced emissions by getting rid of their steel mill to a subsidiary company thats a different more.pointless argument imo.

China gets a huge advantage from having the steel plant in their country and the wildest part to me is that people will even defend them when someone points out that they are already polluting a ton and should take measures to reduce pollution instead of subsiding coal plants and more steel mills.

Those same people will turn around and say nz needs to axe its own industry to reduce emissions even though our emissions are tiny and not spiraling out of control. Its the most cucked stance and causes me psychic damage.

No I dont think thats equivalent. Climate change emissions is an issue that needs to be addressed on a country scale. We dont blame individuals for climate change.

Its fine to let the blame rest on china for their own emissions. They intentionally choose that route.

If a company comes to new Zealand their emissions are regulated by the nz government and nz is responsible for those emissions. In no reality would we blame another country.

Actually western countries are completely blameless here. Why would western countries be blamed for Chinese emissions? Western companies could be blamed sure but when it comes to climate we expect this to be handled at a policy level. When we look at this issue we see that Western countries did make policy changes that hurt their manufacturing and growth in pursuit of better climate change outcomes but china didnt. So when it comes to blame no one forced China to undercut manufacturing by artificially deflating their currency, lying about climate change goals and having no environmental regulations. China could have implemented environmental regulations and labour laws on par with the west. They could have started transitioning to renewables a decade and a half earlier. They choose not to and they choose to scale coal knowing the damage they are doing to the world.

Hell they still lie about their climate change impacts and sponsor green washing propaganda media overstating their progress. Their emissions graph looks like the stock market and when it drops .8% “people” act like its about to come crashing down.

There is no way we would talk about this the same if Europe got rid of their min wage,labour laws, environmental laws, and invested in non clean energy and manufacturing.

Reddit or social media in general should be the last thing we switch, simply because we need to reach as many people as possible. If we give that up too early, the movement dies instantly. You cannot convince people to switch if they can’t even see your posts.

This is half right half cope. You aren’t forced to use a single social media. You can switch while remaining.

Also I cracked up seeing someone say “as a Lemmy user” then noticing their name was guillotines now. Very on brand.

Holy shit, that ice agent whining about getting rejected from “his dream job” because he forgot to ask his wife if her parents were here legally. Insane how he can’t put 2 and 2 together.

Is this bait? There is hardly any hostility here towards the software and the Lemmy devs want to push the world towards being an authoritarian hellscape. If anything they dont get enough shit.

What’s a good peertube instance that federates with a lot? I tried tldvids but its got like 2 regular uploaders and i cant find most channels I search for.

Did the US donate these arms or is isreal buying them?

No. It would be like the rat with the button that dispenses cocaine. I’d get so addicted to extending the moments I feel good that I’d be unable to weigh the actually cost of the trade.

I’d get near the end of my life and regret that j can’t watch my children and grandchildren grow up because i selfishly spent my time earlier im my life.
