Probably the one from that one dude that's been digging through a dump for years trying to find his.

So England is back in but Ireland and Scotland are out??

Yeah I knew right away that was gonna be a winter thing but still cool.

It feels like that every time you take a break from it and come back too, but thankfully it does go away faster each time.

Most of the stories are about how the laws don't work and how to circumvent them, yes.

It's not just delivery services, basically everything has been co-opted by tech bros that take a huge cut for transactions that are between two parties that have nothing to do with them, just for providing a "shiny" platform. Hotel bookings, AirBnB, marketplaces, Uber, and so on and so forth. All platforms that could be managed by 3 Devs in a basement, or public and managed by the government, but somehow they require 10k employees and vacuum up billions?

Nice alliteration.

Those things on the right are still just tools to make you more comfortable in order for you to stay longer and generate more work for them.

I got confused for a second by the use of km/h because here in Europe everyone knows the white vans with ladders on top (or work vans in general) are driving at warp speed and do not give a fuck. You might be flying down the autobahns at 200km/h there's still gonna be a van behind you flashing its lights telling you to move over so they can pass.

That was young me. Old me gets up early regardless of anything because my body decides so, and has at least an hour to himself before the chaos starts.

Lamborghini sells about 10k (2.5/q) units per year, Ferrari about 14 (3.5/q). So that's a bit more than either of them but of course those are way more expensive and exclusive.

So it would actually be more practical, don't need to mop it up if it evaporates.

 

Hello fellow Lemmy investors. I need to vent/seek advice...

I'm passively invested to what is (for me) a big amount in VWCE... The beatings have been rough since trump took office and a good chunk of my profits have already been wiped out.

Due to a change in careers 2.5 years ago (starting my own business), I've not had as much income as I used to and have not been adding to the fund since then. This fund is my "do-not-touch" fund, I did have cash savings on the side, a decent chunk of which has gone into investments in my business, vehicle, etc.

I'm not wiped out yet and still in the green, and I still have a rainy-days worth amount in cash savings, but if this fuckery is gonna keep going, that won't last much longer I guess. My fund is all-world so it's supposed to rebalance if the US shits the bed (which is why I went for that rather than the traditional S&P500 indexes), but still it's getting beat pretty hard meanwhile. I'm in Europe if that matters.

I don't know what to do, my strategy would say to ignore this and stop looking at the app, but also I can't help being nervous and I really don't want to start seeing my hard-earned savings that I'm keeping for my kid/retirement go in the red...

 

Hey there, I'm looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It's an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I'm getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I'm considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

Ideally it's something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

 

I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.

I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?

Dead feed? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hey there, so I registered to Sopuli recently and I'm still getting through the transition out of Reddit, I'll admit right now I'm enjoying the shit show too much to step away but once RiF stops working, I'm probably gonna be around here a lot more.

But right now my feed seems completely dead. I spent some time subscribing to some popular communities from different servers and I try browsing local, all and subscribed. Both hot and active serves me posts that are days, sometimes weeks old.

What can I do to get more content in my feed? I was just browsing the kbin front page (without an account) and was seeing fresher posts from Lemmy servers than I'm getting in Jerboa so it must be something wrong on my end and not just that's there's too little content.
