„Less than 1%” = up to 2880 people.

What are my options for viewing them and possibly converting them into digital. A bit of looking online has shown me a few converters but all have horrible reviews what’s my best options both practical and cost wise?

Thanks!

The Republic of Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated on Thursday at the regular cabinet meeting that the government approved the bill on the launch of the process of accession of the country to the European Union, showing a positive stance on joining the EU. The Cabinet also proposed some amendments to keep the bill in line with the law on normative legal acts. The bill will be debated in parliament afterward.

“[For] people who live in the country or in remote areas or minority groups or [who have] small businesses, that is a really good way for them to communicate and reach other people,” she says.

“It’s just not possible to set up an alternative at this point in time. So, to put it bluntly, we’re in a bit of deep shit, to be honest.”

No mention of Pixelfed, but I can understand why. Will it only be seen as an alternative once a critical mass of users move there? And can that happen if they don't see it as an alternative? Chicken and egg. I'm trying out, but it's a little vapid when everyone I know is on Instagram.

• The biggest direct exporters of machinery and technology to Russia are now China, Taiwan, and South Korea,” the researcher said.
• Taiwan is one of the largest exporters of high-tech parts to Russia. In 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, Taiwan had the highest number of companies after China that directly exported parts to Russia,” Hutyk said.

By that I mean literally sucking up stuff. The vent fan above my stove only seems to actually pull anything in while it's on low; setting it to high makes it louder but stops pulling any smoke or steam up through the hood. I'm just curious how the hell that works; shouldn't a faster spinning fan suck MORE? Is there some property of aerodynamics that was forgotten when they installed this shit?

I was curious, does anyone know if there is a Fediverse alternative to sites like:

[IMDb] (https://www.imdb.com/)

[TMDB] (https://www.themoviedb.org/)

[TheTVDB] (https://thetvdb.com/)

[IHorrorDB] (https://www.ihorrordb.com/)

Something that allows users to discover, review, and discuss movies and TV shows in a decentralized way.

I know about Moviewyrm, which is a concept of a potential fork of Bookwyrm.

While it’s a great start, it is just the concept of a potential platform.

If there isn't one, then has anyone ever considered building a more robust movie/TV platform for the Fediverse?

Or better yet, is something already in the works that I might have missed?

I’d love to see a project like this come to life, but unfortunately, I lack the knowledge, time, and energy to start it myself.

However, I’d be really interested in discussions or ideas for how such a platform could be built.

Anything exciting/good/bad happen? My excitement for the week was playing this trick-taking game for the first time, it was pretty fun:

So I have a style of comedic timing, that can basically be described as "Angry old man rants, while making culturally relevant references".

And part of my whole bit, is I'll list 3 things that are wrong in society that should make you angry/depressed, but because I'm ranting about them I'm making them into a joke. The joke being that I'm saying things that are true, I'm just saying them really really loudly.

5 years ago, I made the 3rd one into "And California can best be described as CURRENTLY ON FIRE!!!"

At the time, there was a wildfire. I figured, I better get in on that before they put the fire out. Not like it's going to be funny anymore in 3 months, right?

Well......it seems like I've not had to replace that line anytime I do one of my rants. It's been 5 years, and it seems like every few months there's ALWAYS another news story about California battling some raging inferno.

The original line was "And Australia can best be described as CURRENTLY ON FIRE", but that cultural reference came and went pretty quickly. Today most people don't even remember that some ridiculous amount like 70% of Australia inhabited areas were at one time engulfed in 30 foot tall fires in 2019.

But whereas Australia had a disaster, and an emergency situation, they did put it out. They put out the flames, and I assume they'll be rebuilding for decades. New Orleans still to this day is rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina in 2004.

But, the point is, Australia has moved past their calamity. California it seems like it's never ending. They put out THIS fire, and then there's THAT fire a few months later. Then they put out THAT fire, but there's ANOTHER FIRE sometime later. Repeat and repeat and repeat.

Should we be worried that California seems to basically be an infinite tinderbox just waiting for a spark? I mean, I still get upvotes when I poke fun of all the chaos and destruction, but at this point it's starting to feel like making fun of the slow kid in class who eats glue.

Hi there! This is quite the annoying issue how programs (like btiwig now or many others before) handle the google drive that is connected to my explorer. In Ubuntu, Fedora and now Mint, many programs do not display my google drive when i want to save my projects or open files and stuff like that.

What is you approach on working with cloud storage or network drives? Or is there a solution, like different explorer or account handler? Thanks, I really how anyone can help :)
