In the same way it's ok to punch nazis.

Why did Vic Fontaine sang entire songs in the later seasons of DS9? in c/[email protected]

In fairness, though, Patrick Stewart did Shakespeare before he did Picard. Have you seen him as a young man playing Oberon? https://www.google.com/search?q=patrick+stewart+oberon&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjStue03pOAAxU6XUEAHb4ZDLUQ0pQJegQICxAB&biw=1685&bih=803&dpr=1.14#imgrc=6p-8DlObJa4hpM

Cool is an elastic thing. Sometimes it means popular. Sometimes it means wonderfully quirky. (I'm thinking of 11th Doctor's descriptions of his unusual sartorial choices.)

Kids like to fit in with their peers, so cool to them probably means what everyone else is into. I didn't like lounge music when I was a kid because it was of my parents' generation. I didn't like opera when I was a kid because I had little exposure to it, so it was weird. Happily, my tastes have broadened. I regret it didn't happen sooner.

Star Trek has become classic (except, maybe, Enterprise) for good reason. That's enough. They snagged James Darren at the end of DS9. Great. Some kids didn't get Vic Fontaine at first blush? Too bad. Try again. The best art requires a little effort.

Also, when you love something, your enthusiasm pulls in others. If they reject it because it's not popular, fuck 'em. Wonderfully quirky people are so much more interesting than people who fit in.

Education doesn't necessarily help. Being overeducated is a liability.

Why Europeans have nicer things in c/[email protected]

Something's afoot at d@w. Newest posts there are a couple of months old. Harvey & Robles Durán have migrated to a new place, https://www.politicsinmotion.org/ D@w says explanations are forthcoming.

It's been kicking me off. This usually happens at the end of a program or between episodes. I clear cache, change VPN server, & log back on. No ip leaks--I've checked. I often wish BBC would abandon regional DRM in favor of letting anyone subscribe from anywhere.

is this downtime like normal? in c/[email protected]

I've never experienced this one being down since I signed up during the Reddit exodus. I seem to have an account at division by zero, but login always just spins. Tried to make account at sh.itjust.works, but it was havoc at the time. As others have said, as long as you can login somewhere, you can participate everywhere.

I fear iplayer security has recently been strengthened.

Is this like p2p except peers don't own the computers?

Lemmy v0.18.0 Released! (and some thoughts before upgrading) in c/[email protected]

I love it that this instance works. Can you wait for eager people to work out the kinks before updating?

Hello, lovelies. QBT was working well in both directions. Now it isn't. The little fire icon at the bottom of the screen is always on. I've downloaded, but peer connections don't seem to be working. I've been all over the internet trying to troubleshoot, to no avail. I posted on Reddit, but then the exodus happened. 1.) It's not the firewall (Bitdefender). There's a rule in place. Also, I turned off the firewall, and nothing changed. I tried enabling port scanning. Nothing changed. 2.) I went to Nord's advice page https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Proxy/1087802472/Proxy-setup-on-qBittorrent.htm
and followed their directions, screenshot attached. Part of their instructions include going to ipleak.net and using ipleak's magnet link. Nord says addresses are supposed to match. They didn't. Here are screenshots. I tried different servers. I tried a P2P server. 3.) In the absence of help during the exodus, I reset Windows network connections. Nothing changed. I reinstalled Windows 11 (what a PIA!). Nothing changed. Since reinstalling all software, QBT ratios show nobody's downloaded anything from me, which is unusual, even though stuff I like has small swarms.

4.) I tried reinstalling QBT. Then I tried versions 4.5.3, 4.5.2, and 4.5.1. Nothing changed. The little orange flame is still burning. In case it matters, the only place I'm torrenting from/to is rutracker.

If you read this far, tyvm. If you've got suggestions, thank you even more.

Using only 1 public tracker. DHT enabled in options. Question: if public trackers don't use DHT, where do peers with H flag come from?

Noodles: is a tamale a noodle? in c/[email protected]

Not, say, if you want to make cacio e pepe. (I'm a new reddit refugee, so I haven't figured out how to respond to a comment.)

No. The point of noodles is that they hold their form without any help when you cook them. Without their leafy containers, tamales would be more like polenta/corn meal mush--also yummy but not noodly.
