No reason in particular. I can’t get interested in video games anymore. So I have unintentionally replaced my free time playing video games with reading. If I could manage to get interested in a video game then I would still play it.
The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.
I started reading regularly. Been doing it for a few years now. I think it was exactly what I needed in my life. I pretty much cut off playing video games and replaced it with books. 👍
It can be an argument if you want, but it seems more like a discussion to me. I refute the idea that gifs are horrible and obsolete. You even give a use case in your post. If I have a 1 second looping image I’d much rather use a gif than a video format. So I believe they should work on Lemmy. The rest of the internet has no problem supporting this format.
Gifs are extremely efficient though. There is only downloading and no decoding necessary to play it back so it has no impact on your CPU. If you have a screen full of 1000 GIFs then your CPU won’t start melting. Try playing 1000 video files on your computer no matter how small they are.
However, there is no reason for a 50mb GIF to exist. If you actually have something that is longer than a few seconds you should not use GIF.
Your link doesn’t lead to anything, but if you are trying to suggest the supreme arbitrarily decided Bush won the presidency then that is factually incorrect. There was a court case about Florida’s ballots in particular that happened to be enough to sway the outcome of the presidential election.
The supreme court doesn’t decide the president of the unite states so probably nothing would happen. It would be very strange of them to make such an irrelevant declaration though and people would lose faith in the sanity of the courts.
How rural are we talking about? Miles and miles of farmland between every home? Some sort of personal vehicle would be fine in my opinion when the density of the population is this low. But you could still conceivably have a single train going through the middle with lots of stops. Then you only have to bike or walk a short distance and take a train of some kind the rest of the way.
If there is no keyhole to pick then it is probably marginally more secure, but if a burglar wants to get into your home then no door lock is going to stop them. They could just break it or break your windows.
I’d be worried about breaking compatibility across the lemmyverse. The thing that makes the Lemmy a federated system is that they are all instances of the same thing. Also the main contributors are going to be the most knowledgeable on the subject which is why their opinions would be important. They are also the owners of the repository. It’s not a democracy just because it is open source.
It is still an option though if the original project starts doing things that cross some line. The example given doesn’t seem even close to crossing that line. I don’t see how this person thinks this decision by them is unreasonable. Do they believe that their change should be the default behavior of the default UI of Lemmy and that this is the majority opinion on the matter? Seems unlikely to me.
It might be the worst type of train station, but at least it is a train station. As opposed to there not being one. I’d love any kind of trains near me.
Edit: I love the use of Cities Skylines in the video. I am excited for the sequel to come out this year.
