Unherd isn’t Twitter (although you can find the same TERFs in both places). Info about site: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/UnHerd
This is like when supermarkets put the short-dated food in the ‘reduced’ section: I kinda always expect it to be ‘was £3, now 30p’, but it’s usually ‘was £3, now £2.89’
£390 is so close to the retail price for new, that if was going to get one, I’d probably just do that.
The “I’d buy that for a dollar!” guy from Robocop.
I have concepts of a plan
Got involved with the Taliban
I didn’t watch the debate, but I would’ve if I’d known it was a rap battle.
Hey! This guy doesn’t know about the three seashells!
I think it’s just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I’m not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.
I realise it’s not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly …
(that last one’s nothing to do with the above reasoning, it’s just a line from Aliens that’s stuck in my head).
“Don’t have anything monetary, per se” - I can relate.
Very late reply - the ‘app’ at the moment is just a PWA, so it requires a manual check
Oh man, I remember seeing this ages ago and then I could never find it again (I was searching for ‘Darth Vader being passive / aggressive’ I think). So now I’ve found it! (but the sacrifice was too great - RIP James Earl Jones)
You can set a gif’s FPS yeah. There’s an app called gif.ski that lets you play around with this - add a folder full of PNGs to it and render a gif. The lowest the UI lets you select for FPS is 1 - I made one and stuck it here so you can see what that looks like.
You can use the same tool on the command line if you want a half frame per second rate, e.g.:
gifski --output interesting.gif --fps 0.5 --quality 70 *.png
Wanting to end all text communications with ellipses …
This is why I always say ‘thanks’ to GPT when we’ve finished chatting.
I don’t know if there’s any tools that’ll do that - I imagine it’d be an animation that you’d need to tediously build frame by frame. Gif is especially inefficient to simulate slowness because you need a new frame even when it’s the same as the previous one, so the file would be massive. So you’d want to convert it to MP4 (which anything hosting it would probably do automatically) or use webp - this doesn’t have particularly widespread support but it lets you create animations with a ‘delay’ element so you can hold certain frames. An example of that is here: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/218d951c-67b3-4589-ac94-8f661b32a8fc.webp (wait for it …)
All the other comments except from that one are from alien.top (Reddit users turned into bots), which your instance is defederated from.
Ha ha. This is like seeing Predators at a Disney theme park (I’ve no idea if they own the franchise - they probably do).
You’re not kidding. Arriving from the UK into Sydney airport - the heat was unbelievable, but when I was in Melbourne, there was a question of ‘wait? is this weather … shit?’
Ranked by complexity:
Think we should maybe walk before we run here.
Or it’s ‘lemmyworld’ or ‘announcements’ or the foreign-language equivalent of ‘main / meta / home’. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just moaning that it’s not easier. While I’m complaining: a flag to indicate that it’s a ‘testing’ community would be nice too.
It’s federated like Lemmy, so each platform has ‘local videos’ and an ‘all videos’ section. E.g. https://fedi.video/videos/local and https://fedi.video/videos/overview
Of course, since it’s federated, it means other platforms like PieFed, MBIN and Mastodon can access the same stuff, so you don’t need to register anywhere if you’re on one of them.
