For the most common scenarios I personally find CLI very easy to use: I go to the destination folder, right-click “Open in Terminal” and then type yt-dlp linkcopypastedhere. That’s all, multiple sites I used it with didn’t require any extra params. Maybe if you want to customize something, like make your own file naming convention, etc, GUI could be handy.

From what I know this is called dyskinesia and wiki article has some possible causes listed:

I’ve seen some medication list this as possible side-effect. Don’t know anything else about it.

I’d probably identify myself as a hikikomori. I’ve had zero meaningful offline connections for more than a decade, and at this moment, I haven’t set foot outside my apartment not even once for almost a year (although there are far more serious reasons for this than just my personality). In the future, if there will be an opportunity, I’d like to move to Asia as a digital nomad working remotely. I don’t expect to make any irl connections there either, but I’d be happy to immerse myself walking around oriental slums, parks, shrines, seaside and enjoying the local cuisine.

AI imagery looks like shit. But that is its main draw to the right. if AI was capable of producing art that was formally competent, surprising, soulful, they wouldn’t want it.

Among many artists I’m subscribed to, there are few who specialize exclusively in AI art.

Here’s my current favorite:

However, there’s lots of assholes who are negative towards other AI Developers because they’re envious because they suck.

That’s not how you bring people together

My favorite is: if you disagree, you can always just go to another instance or even create your own. Other than that, I like how, instead of a total score, posts show likes and dislikes separately. This is more of a technical thing than a cultural one, but it has a big impact on making brigading less effective. In general, all these technical decisions make Lemmy very friendly to a variety of cultures and people from across different spectrums of political and other opinions.

There could be alternative to state with its own police. If alternative to state is some kind of unions/syndicates, it could mean, there are, for example, Team Space (Union of Spaceship Institutions + some relevant Universities and Industry Manufacturers) and Team Earth (Union of Agricultural Manufacturers + Farmers + Union of Solar Energy Organisations) represented in the same city. Each of those have their own police funded by their own taxpayers. There could be many such “teams” in the same city, and they together manage infrastructure and security in the city. I think it’s important that those teams are kind of “omnipresent”, meaning the same team is present in many locations throughout the planet. For example there could be multiple dozens of such teams, and each city on the planet is run by some combination of those teams, which depends on variety of cultural and economic concerns and interests of such teams.

Hmm, you’re right! I definitely remember this picture posted somewhere maybe like 3-4 days ago?

I personally never hated it, I just prefer Steam, because it has stuff like dedicated game workshop, forums, screenshots, achievements, cards, etc. Even when I got something for free in Epic Games Store I would later proceed to buy it in Steam and play there to have all those features.

Sorry, I don’t have one I can share.

You can use mobile internet or wifi in McDonald’s then. I’m personally using VPN mainly to protect myself from my ISP and local MITM.

PS: try to register an account without VPN, then log in, then turn on VPN and see how it goes.

I’m using Proton VPN all the time with Reddit, servers from all over the world: Europe, Asia, Africa. I have 365 day streak achievement on day 320 today, so at least those past 320 days I’ve been using Reddit with Proton VPN every day (I also have killswitch permanently enabled). Also used two other lesser known providers years ago with no issues. Keep in mind though, I’m only ever using paid servers. Wouldn’t surprise me if those few free ones are banned everywhere. It takes one user to misbehave from IP to get that IP banned.

I’ve been using Reddit with VPN for years. Not sure about registering, but using existing accounts with VPN works just fine. lemmy.world allows to register but doesn’t allow to post with VPNs, this is also one of big reasons I don’t use that instance.

Even though Lemmy is made by communists, there is nothing stopping anybody from creating a total nazi instance and have their own circlejerk there. That’s just a funny example, applicable to anything else too.

Try to find a Lemmy instance that aligns with what you seek, register there, create a community. Your current one - lemmy.world - might be one of the worst choices for what you ask since it has heavy/biased moderation and a lot of moderation drama.

Imo that’s one of the lesser QoL issues. I find it more annoying that there’s no pagination other than “Next” button. Why don’t we have “Prev”, “First”, “Last” and page numbers? That’s quite basic pagination functionality.

The title before editing was “Do you know any popular websites where people can talk to each other anonymously?” And it made way more sense when it was like that…

exarcheia and anabaptist

Do those guys build their own roads, pipes for water and heat, homes, bake bread, make drugs, provide healthcare? Or do they depend on external nation-states and their economy to exist?
