Agree about the comparison with music. I wonder why we didn't see balkanization there like we do for video.

Awesome! I was hoping this would be possible. I plan to host my own instance hobbit.world and would need to migrate everything.

Also, I'll defederate any corporate instances. No need to encourage bad actors.

Cable cost well over $100 a month many years ago when I cancelled it. And 1/3 of the content is commercials.

Pretty sure you could subscribe to every major streaming service for less than that. And as long as you avoid Hulu, you won't see commercials.

Things are WAY better now, even though it was better a little while ago when there was just Netflix.

The Curta calculator is a marvel of engineering made by a guy who developed it while imprisoned by Nazis.

You specify numbers on the side and spin the handle up top to add them. You multiply numbers by specifying one number on the side then spinning the handle and rotating the collar.

Hard to describe via text. But there are lots of YouTube videos about it.

This particular model is special because it's a cutaway model meant for demonstrating how it works internally. It's a rare version of an already rare calculator and I absolutely love it.

The Curta feels so tactile in the way it works. You can feel the numbers being added when you rotate the handle and feel the zip of the mechanical parts interacting.

I actually cannot rewatch that movie because of her. Infuriating.

Whoa, that shrug guy loses his backslash arm in Lemmy too? It's a reddit flashback!

If we're going to ignore societal norms, can we please bring back 80's hair? I fucking love 80's hair.

Love the door! Will the siding on the rest of the house match eventually?

Can you repair Curtas? I think there's a niche market demand for that. I'd certainly want it if mine ever broke.

The Connect app allows you to hide posts based on keywords. Maybe add "reddit" to that?

I don't actually think I've heard a story of someone getting a domain back once it is lost. Glad this worked out.

Their history with Facebook does not engender confidence they are capable of that.
