Yeah Islamic countries would be so peaceful if other countries just left them be lol. Islam and peace are opposites, there’s never going to be peace in the middle east, best the rest of the world can do is contain it within their borders

They are turning the beetles Trans!!!

You can sort of emulate this behavior using a VR headset and using that Big screen app that puts you in a virtual theatre with others and people can talk and throw popcorn at the screen etc. You can find all sorts of movies playing on it that you can randomly join

This behavior is acceptable for mass entertainers like the MCU movies or Mission Impossible etc but I want none of this for serious cinema

I feel like these kinds of movies are meant to be experienced in theatre’s with others, it adds to the experience when everyone is openly reacting to the scenes. But I sure as shit don’t want any of this behavior for more serious movies, so there’s a time and a place for everything.

Yeah I think this is a nice idea, this way all the assholes and immature idiots get contained to a few screens leaving the other screens for adults who actually want to see the movie. A lot of people have the attention span of a toddler and think movies are some kind of social experience where you can have a chat with others or constantly get up or pull your phone out and be disruptive in many ways, putting such people together will not annoy them, the movie can play in the background while they socialize or whatever and the theatre still makes their money.

Yeah sure, and what is far lefts position then?

Especially if these people had a skin color any shade darker than white

This looks like it can can actually fuck up some models, but the unnecessary CPU load it will generate means most websites won’t use it unfortunately

Playing games is the thing I almost never do on my Quest 3, I mostly just lie down and watch movies and TV on it, but it’s too bulky and uncomfortable for that, the new Bigscreen Beyond 2 looks amazing for that use, unfortunately it costs more than double of Quest 3, I’ll save up for it and sell my Quest 3 in the future, cause fuck Zuck

Thanks for the detailed reply that helps, this sounds really interesting, with the late stage capitalism we are going through, I’ve lost all interest in private corporate controled social networks, hence the switch to Lemmy, but the instance owner is still a single point of failure with Lemmy but at least you can switch to another instance.

I have a few concerns about Plebbit though.

A - with torrents you know the size of the torrent beforehand and can decide if you can download it all and continue seeding it so long as you have the space for it on your drive, but with a forum like Plebbit, how would a user know how much space on their drive Plebbit will take for the Plebbit content they interact with. Is there a way to dedicate X gigabytes of limited storage space for it and anything above that gets purged to make space for new data?

B - One of the best uses Of Reddit imo is that it’s very easy to Google for something and find a relevant Reddit thread, especially for something niche, since Plebbit only keeps the most popular content and the rest goes away if not seeded, does it mean it won’t be a good for niche archival data, maybe that’s a use case that Plebbit isn’t design to handle and that’s okay.

C - Bots are a big concern for most social media, especially the ones used for spreading propaganda and misinformation, how does a P2P social forum like Plebbit plan to handle bots.?

If there’s no central server then where is all the data stored?. With Lemmy I know the instance creator has to host it all on his own server.
