You make a good distinction. In my opinion this question can be answered in two ways:

• A movie that holds up being just as good on a rewatch.

• Movies where you either pick up on clues/details on further rewatches once you know the full movie. Or that are just so dense/layered that you just can’t catch everyrhing the first time you watch it

Doesn’t matter how often you see scenes like ride of the rohirrim, they remain just as epic as they were the first time.

Bin kein Experte auf dem Gebiet, aber wenn ich mir den Wikipedia Artikel zum Budapest Memorandum anschaue, dann sehe ich da schon einen deutlichen Unterschied. Es scheint ja sogar generell in Frage zu stehen ob sich daraus überhaut rechtliche Verpflichtungen ableiten lassen.

Punkte 1-3 und 5 Zielen nur darauf ab, dass die Unterzeichner selbst nicht gegen die Ukraine vorgehen. Nummer 6 ist nur dazu da eventuelle Unklarheiten zu klären und wirkt mir eh so schwammig, dass er faktisch wertlos (es ist nicht geregelt was bei unterschiedlichen Auslegungen geschieht).

Nur Punk 4 hat mit der Verteidigung gegenüber einem Dritten zu tun. Aber tritt anscheinend nur in Kraft, wenn Atomwaffen auch tatsächlich genutzt werden. Was ja zum Glück bis jetzt nicht der Fall ist.

Ich weiß jetzt nicht wie ein Schutz nach Israel-Modell im Einzelnen aussähe, aber ich gehe schwer davon aus, dass dieser sehrviel weitreichender wäre.

Another issue with YouTube is that media, especially video is vastly more resource demanding than anything mostly text based.

With something like Twitter or Reddit (as long as you don’t directly host all media) the quality and importance of each post relative to it’s resources needed don’t really matter that much.

Especially with high bitrate video footage on the other hand it does matter. So having a drive for profit somewhere in the chain does in someway help shape the system to be viable financially.

Is there any actual benefit for so much RAM in a phone? Outside of a higher number for marketing and increasing the price? And does this also increase power consumption or is there any benefit to more RAM that counteracts that?

Personally i am still waiting for phones to become proper desktop replacements, in which case i’d maybe see more use in this. They already have more than enough performance for the average user, since 9/10 people probably just browse the web and do some general office work.

I really feel like that instead of just focusing on running a lean and efficient site, perfecting the fundamentals, and outsourcing the other stuff to their users (third party apps, content creation, the bulk of moderation). They’ve truly become bloated trying to expand.

I guess this was ultimatively due to them taking on venture capital and thus having the pressure for rapid growth and profitability. They really want to transform themself into a social media site, gathering as much user data as possible and keeping them on their site as long as possible. All with the goal to be able to sell more adds. Which also means pushing out unmarketable content.

Start with a relatively short page turner.

Definitely agree with this advice. Much better to start with something that you can see yourself finishing rather quickly, then starting a huge epic. So maybe something lighter, faster paced and possibly funny. Maybe in the range of 100-150 pages?

Another suggestion i’d make is to start with a book from your favorite genre. Doesn’t have to be based on past books, but maybe also current tv shows or movies.

As an example for me that would be sci-fi. So in that case something like “All Systems Red” (first book in the murderbot series) could be fun. Or maybe a short story collection like “i, robot” or “Stories of Your Life and Others” that allows to read one story at a time. “World war Z” would also be an interesting mix of the two, since it has an overarching narrative but is structured in seperate story lines.

Never seen that here in Germany. Especially considering drinks are usually what the restaurant is making the majority of profit from.

The only place where we do bring something ourself are “Biergärten” (beer gardens) where you can bring your own food, but buy drinks (unsurprisingly mostly beer). Although they also sell some food and often have a section that is more like a normal restaurant where you order both.

Add to that requirements for longer software support. At least for security patches.

Looking at the budget i wonder if actually canning it was ever on the table.

Personally I do miss Reddit. Mostly because it was just so convenient: easy to use and you got active communities for basically anything you’d want.

However quiting it so instantly has shown me how reliant I was on it to serve as a single gateway to information on the internet.

So I guess as a consequence I’ll try to stick around here (find instances for my interests), but also diversify my online presence a bit more. Maybe look at some specific forums and browse a few more websites directly
