Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that’s USD. That’s a decent amount more than Disney+, right?
My guess is someone needed it at some point, and jumped through the hoops to get it approved. It has no ongoing cost, so even if it takes staff time to review and set it up in the repository, it would easily pay for itself from not having a subscription. But it would rely on having staff with previous experience to not lose your gains through lost time learning.
I use GIMP at work. It’s officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.
I’m pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.
This says it’s the US pronunciation of Thames: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xKDzKYcKTO4
Do you pronounce names and brains that way, or do you pronounce Thames differently in Connecticut than the rest of the US?
Do you pronounce Thames like names and brains, or names and brains like Thames?
Personally if someone was described as “good”, I’d take it to mean they could do it at an expected level (not going to hold the team back). If someone was above average at the task then I’d expect a different adjective, e.g. great or excellent.
I’m assuming Lemmygrad and Hexbear are the others.
Yes my understanding is that you can use Mastodon to post to a community (by tagging it) or to respond to a post or comment. You can follow a Lemmy community as if it were a user.
However, to use a Lemmy account to interact with Mastodon, you are limited to replying to Mastodon users who have posted in a Lemmy community or commented on a Lemmy post.
My understanding of the current state is that with your Lemmy account, you can only interact with Lemmy-compatible activitypub services (Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, Sublinks). Other services may be able to interact with Lemmy (I believe Mastodon and Friendica can, and Misskey may be able to as well).
There is no reason that Lemmy couldn’t interact with other content, but it gets a little confusing when you are talking about following users and not communities, Lemmy doesn’t work that way. You can’t even follow another Lemmy user. So no one has implemented this in Lemmy yet.
Long store short, no you can’t access in that direction yet, but there’s no real reason why that couldn’t come in the future. You could check out Mbin, which I believe supports more services. You can interact with Lemmy from other services (such as from Mastodon), but it gets a bit weird sometimes as they are different kinds of services.
The process manager lets you kill any process.
You can also click the do it anyway button when it’s waiting on shutdown, but I’ve had less consistent success with that.
Ah I guess it’s that it shows what they want then they have to install the app to buy it?
Maybe this article is intended for advertisers to convince them of the value.
Isn’t the idea that if you advertise you will get more people looking at/downloading your app and therefore rank higher?
It doesn’t make it not paid product placement, but I don’t think it implies that people are buying spots on the ranking.
It does imply the rank is almost useless because most high rankers are just spending a lot on ads.

Next time you yawn, listen for a low rumbling sound. Some people can do that voluntarily. Apparently 55% of the general population, but many people think you could train almost anyone to do it with some practice.
Not everyone!
Check out the Function->Voluntary Control section here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_tympani_muscle
I tried to find stats on what proportion of people could do it, with claims of “a small number” through to “over half the population”.
This study says 55% in the general population. It’s also interesting as it’s exploring the ability to use this voluntary rumble as a control method for assistive technology.
Is it the same muscle as when you do the rumbly ear thing?
Yeah, they do ship to Oz. But you can’t pay with an NZ card so you’ve gotta do a whole thing where you send money internationally to a friend then they pay and order and receive it then ship it to you. It seems like a big ask for contacting a distant relative out of the blue and asking them to do that.
Same here! I have one but can’t get components any more because they locked down freight forwarding 🙁
Where on the scale is that? Is it higher or lower than supernatural?
A banana for scale would be helpful.
Oh I was comparing Disney+ Standard to Netflix Standard. Turns out there’s also Netflix Basic which is a similar price to Disney+ Standard, but with many more restrictions.
I think Disney+ Standard and Netflix Standard seem to be comparable. In NZD Disney+ is $16.99 (approx $10USD)and Netflix is $25.99 (approx $15USD) per month. Disney+ gives annual discounts as well.
None of the plans in NZ seem to have ads (yet…).
Out of the two plans I see, the Standard only includes up to 1080p and 4k requires Premium, $21.99NZD (approx $13USD).
