  • I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).

    And then there is the “dumploads”, which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as “[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]”, which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.

    Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn’t seem to be for me :/


  • And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo “tiny body” does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area.

    So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket.


  • Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it.

    So, yes, it is a feature?


  • This is quite the point I tried to make. Yeah, at this poi t beans are the only plant protein that I get even decent. Never heard of a black bean burger, to be honest, it won’t be the first recipe I’ll be looking with my cooking record.

    And for tofu. I know it isn’t originally meat replacement, and I’ve seen dishes that look amazing, but I still have trust issues when it comes to tofu. Maybe I need to retry some time if I encounter it in a (proper) buffet sometime. Still, I don’t trust it. I haven’t been a fan of shrooms either, and they just wasn’t my thing even now, when I recently tried to cook some. My SO liked the muahroom sauce though, so it wasn’t just about my inability to cook them.


  • As a carnivorous fattie, I do care about nutrition. And in all fairness, I’m open to suggestions for naturally vegetarian foods.

    Now, before I get a list of “vegan beef and tofu”, what I mean by naturally vegetarian, is foods that don’t include tofu (which I personally don’t just like), or need to advertise being vegan. I am looking for foods that, from the beginning of the time, have never had meat removed, or replaced. I want “accidentally vegetarian” -foods.

    My current favourite is bean-tomato soup, but it gets rather one note.






  • Well, if you avoid the games with ads, it reflects poorly on profits, and maybe someone might mention to the shareholders that the reason people won’t play their game is the invasive ads.

    The reason why they still have their poopy launcher is that people adapted them, because tolerating the launcher was the requirement for them to (legally) play their games. Putting games behind a launcher did not teduce the profits enough to not continue doing so.

    So yes, the way to combat this is to avoid their games thst implement ads.


  • There is also “Owncast”, but it seems to suffer from the same issue that peertube does; there is no integrated revenue system for the streamer, so there is little reason to put effort in to the quality, as well as it being fairly unknown, so even if you set up donos etc. the audience isn’t there.

    The discoverability don’t help, since there isn’t really s good way to filter out all the “24/7 radio” -streams, so even if you actively follow the frontpage, or a category, you have to skim trough them manually. Also, there is no proper language filter (at least if you don’t have an account), and it seems it’s more popular with non-english speaking streamers.




  • “We have built a bomb shelter, that can withstand a bombing, underneath the hospital, and believe the enemy is using these facilities. Instead of surgical flushing strike of these areas, which we clearly have the floorplsns for since we built it, we decided to bomb the building that was full of civilians that clearly could not utilize the shelter if our claim was true, knowing that the enemy command center is built exclusively to withstand said bombing”

    Yeah, there are 3 sides to this war: IDF, Hamas and the civilians, and it seems two of those sides are having a competition on how many of the third side they can kill. I’d say both Paleastine and Israel deserves to be free of the warmongering leaders, because as much as people stand for Palestine. Sure, the first thing should be to stop the assaults that extend to the Palestinian side of the border, but after the seize fire has been reached, I wouldn’t mind seeing the leadership of the both warmongering terrorist agencies (IDF and Hamas) being systematically dismanteled from inside.

    And if you feel “Hamas is neccessary”, well, Hamas was the group that provided the flimsy excuse for the IDF to use to attack this tiime around by attacking an international civilian event. Palestine deserves better than Hamas.

    [EDITS]: adding few clarifying words to point out the leaderships problems on both sides have existed for a longer time.


  • If I remember correctly from my hazy years of school philosophy classes, it was Thomas Aquinas who suggested it. Who was a friar, so that’s why the assumption of the religion.

    Also, I understood the core idea being that God isn’t what IS the beginning, but that the point where human mind can’t comprehend beyond is God. Which, back then, and even now, I considered to be a lazy copout for a philosopher, as the point of a philosopher is to test the limits of our understanding.

    Then again, for friar to state that the end solution is not god for their thinkings, at that time and place, would’ve probably result in being positioned as a centerpiece of a bonfire.




  • The funny thing is that as far as I know, the majority of the “I wanna be…” -games are made with a software called “Click & Create”, which is basically a “no programming needed” visual game editor.

    Sure, it had it’s quirks, but it’s a super simple editor. Also. Although the current version of the editor is “Multimedia fusion”, as far as I know.
