And why not chew it off? Is it like in church where you're not supposed to nibble your consecrated wafer?

I agree with the other things, though. And I feel like I'm supposed to repost the old "The Japanese Tradition" video on sushi: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bDL8yu34fz0 It's awesome. (And since satire doesn't always translate on the internet: It's a spoof.)

Hmmh. I'm pretty sure we don't have the same perspective anyways, because I'm not from the United States. And all the labels are really off. I'd consider your liberals, conservative by my standards. That's not necessarily bad, just a difference in society. And the media very opinion-centric and not necessarily factual. In the USA everything seems to be about emotion and strong opinions.

I follow American politics and culture because I think it's interesting. And we get some of the same dynamics here. But some things are unfathomable to me. Like giving up freedom because conservatives like to make life easy for big corporations. Or paying >$10,000 for a broken health insurance that doesn't cover half the things. Or letting your children get shot at in schools...

I'm sorry if my "labels" have some connotation to you that I'm not educated on because I don't take part in everyday-life in that society. I'll remeber that there is a difference in perception among certain groups of people.

It's just that influencers have some power over people. And hearing the same things over and over again makes you believe in it at some point. And Tucker Carlson definitely does framing, polemics and portrays things in a counter-factual way. In my eyes that's lying by omission. And he does this deliberately so I can't trust anything he says. Also he doesn't value American values at all but instead likes Autocrats like Putin. He doesn't see that politicians sometimes are idiots and things happen out of incompetence. He immediately sees a big and emotional conspiracy story behind everything, when in reality most of the times it's just incompetence and/or simple greed.

And I'm sorry, but not "believing" in things like climate change is just stupid. And spreading this is dangerous. You could spend like 5 minutes, have a look at the graphs and educate yourself. Or ask a farmer who does the job for a few years. Or go outside or visit Spain or some of the other places that have serious droughts for consecutive year after year now. I'm my eyes the amount of people who don't "believe" in science, or get it completely 180 degrees wrong, just shows the general state of education in a society and if an education system has failed a decent share of the population. And being proud to be uneducated doesn't make you an appropriate "journalist".

So disregarding any labels, he has proven to tell fake-news, false conspiracy stories, make up things or just reproduce things Putin made up. And his former employer had to pay hundreds of millions to settle and let him go because he told too many lies. You -of course- may watch him, but I'd be wary about any word that comes out of his mouth. It may very well be made up by himself or people he admires. And it may be because he's pushing an agenda and trying to convince you to believe in lies.

Of course that doesn't address whether other people are more believable or not. Some of them might also be pushing some agenda, that's true.

It's not necessarily the conservative perspective that gets me, more the lying and being dishonest that I'm not okay with...

But if you ask me, I'd say you have to oppose the perspective of people like this if values like freedom and liberty are important to you. And the future of your country. Because this perspective is close to being shills of big oil and big pharma companies, denying things like climate change for money, so big companies can rip off the people even more. And most of it happens at the expense of the average guy.

The M6117C also isn't the original and not that old. Also the 8MB of RAM aren't true to the original.

I'm not sure. I occasionally use emulation. And I think it's fine. Unless you're a speed runner and need everything to be exact to the frame timing, you won't notice. Certainly not for a desktop UI like the Win 3.11 on the photo. I guess it depends on the use-case.

Something like a FPGA or an ESP32 can also be repaired, replaced, programmed and most of the things a CPU or different architecture can do. And if the emulation layer doesn't have too many flaws, it'll be pretty realistic. Not exactly the same thing, but I think it'll do for practically any use-case. And it comes with other benefits.

I think you're allowed to do it just for the sake of it. But I often see people using an original SNES because "emulation is shit" and then they proceed to connect it to the TV set in their livingroom, which isn't even close to the original experience because it adds lots of latency and doesn't have interlacing and the colors are different than on a CRT, too. I think that's just having strong opinions despite being uneducated. And I think I'm equally as well off with my Raspberry Pi and Emulationstation. (Which can also run DOS games.)

In the end everyone is entitled to their opinion. But this also isn't the original (You can get an old Laptop... I have one with an 486.) But this isn't the original but a replica. And it's debatable (in my opinion) whether it's the CPU architecture that does the realism, or other factors. I think for realism, you'd need a black and white liquid crystal display, a NiMH battery that degrades fast if you don't charge it right and half the amount of RAM at most. And maybe just a floppy drive. The CPU is something you wouldn't notice with the current state of technology.

Don't we need to know the purchasing power of money in the country? Without that the median wage is just a number and it doesn't tell anything about standard of living and such. We only get to know how many foreign products they can afford in dollars. And not even that because import tax varies, too.

And last time I looked, Japan had lik 8% or 10% VAT. And I believe Poland has 23%. So immediately all goods are way more expensive and it doesn't really compare.

I occasionally get their videos recommended by the YouTube algorithm. Aren't they both far-right propagandists? And Tucker Carlson is a moron in addition to that, who believes in any conspiracy story, aliens and got fired from multiple jobs for lying and spreading fake news? I saw his interview with Putin, though... If I were you, I would do myself a favor and not watch their propaganda. Regardless of the subject of the episode.

Ah, well I only read the official documentation on https://docs.conduit.rs/

I'm gonna take a look at this later.

"Viele kamen allmählich zu der Überzeugung, einen großen Fehler gemacht zu haben, als sie von den Bäumen heruntergekommen waren. Und einige sagten, schon die Bäume seien ein Holzweg gewesen, die Ozeane hätte man niemals verlassen dürfen."

-- Douglas Adams, 1980 (aus Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis)

Depends a bit on how much images and videos get shared. If its mainly used for chat by a bunch of people and a few gifs and stickers in-between, it shouldn't consume that much storage. But sure if you frequently share all your vacation photos, the cache is going to grow fast.

Definitely the whole server name. Other servers and clients can't guess that information. I think it's properly documented how to do it.

I installed it like 2 weeks ago. As of now it's still running and has a really low memory footprint compared to Synapse. But a lot of things aren't implemented. Chatting works fine. I get a lot of warning messages about not implemented things, though. Like my client (FluffyChat) trying to query some profile status ... I'd say try it. I've done so. But I can really only give some good advise after a few more weeks of using it. Maybe there is a dealbreaker.

Ich finde Mindfactory nicht so super sympathisch. Weiß auch nicht mehr was da genau war aber vor ein paar Jahren musste ich mich mal mit denen herumschlagen und das war nicht so toll. Aber das Midnight shopping haben sie. Ich wollte dort letztens eine Festplatte kaufen, hab bis Mitternacht gewartet und pünktlich um 0 Uhr haben sie den Preis um knapp 30€ (!) erhöht... Hätte ich mal lieber die frechen 9€ Versandkosten bezahlt. Naja, jetzt hab ich halt keine Festplatte. Aber ich glaube im Grunde kann man da schon kaufen.

I'd be interested, too, if he and FUTO got to terms with their community and if they learned how licensing and trademarks work... Last thing I remember he claimed lots if things that weren't true. And FUTO didn't really address anything.
