So I've heard of this a bit before but never really got it. Is the idea that the cable could access all of the channels, but the box had some sort of DRM on it that prevented it from actually tuning into those channels?
I've hired for junior positions on a sysadmin team and Linux as a hobby is the number 1 thing I look for. It moves your resume to the top of the stack.
Unfortunately it's owned by Amazon now so it inflates the ratings of their shows. But other than that it's still quite good like you said for getting an overview
Does a book club meet up to just talk about what their favourite authors tweet about, or what new book is coming out soon in a series they like? No. They talk about what artistic choices they like and don't like in the books they read, what emotions those books evoke, what other books they remind them of, etc.
Did you create it using a different account? This one doesn't say it's the moderator of any munis, and you don't have any posts in your history on such a muni.
The way I see it, people shouldn't post things unless they have some discussion they want to have about that thing. They shouldn't post just because it's news. I'd be fine with Lemmy having far less frequent new posts if those posts were all created by people who were legitimately trying to share something rather than just generate content.
An example of this that really bothers me: I joined several gaming munis because I like to talk about games. But there are people out there who feel that a gaming muni should be about the games industry, and so those munis are just a constant stream of gaming news articles, patch notes, and trailers. Mostly with completely barren comment sections. What I wanted was the social experience of chatting with people about games. I don't care about (as a random example) the latest Helldivers 2 patch notes.
I think less of an emphasis on having a steady stream of content and more on only posting something that you believe is worthy of discussion would be so much better. If people want to see literally every rockpapershotgun article, they can subscribe to their RSS feed.
Canadian here. "American" means from the US. People from the rest of the continent don't care. They're the ones with the dumb country name that doesn't have a more obvious demonym. But we've all collectively agreed that that's what it's called.
If you want to refer to someone from South America you say South American. If you want to refer to someone from North America you say North American.
The business people adopting AI: "who cares what it's trained on? It's intelligent right? It'll just sort through the garbage and magically come up with the right answers to everything"
If you can't boot from an install media USB it's probably a hardware issue.
