Your whole statement sums up nicely why the Dems CAN blame the left: you “will not be voting for Biden”. Even if you abstain from voting for either candidate, in political speak a non-vote is a +1 for your opponent instead of the +2 your vote would have been for the Dems. Looking at this as a third party, you Americans really need to break out of the 2 party system by finding a way to add at least a third viable party, using some version of Ranked Choice Voting or ideally both. Mainstream + Social Media + 2 party system is killing your country.

It might have something to do with your flawed idea of what ‘make peace’ means.

Sounds like someone doesn’t like ‘finding out’ as much as they thought they would.

He was already 2 years in to a 3 year contract when the 5 year law came into effect. Renewed for 3 more = 3 + 1, then 1 month shy of 2 more = <5+1. I believe the reason is his total employed period actually exceeded 5 years if you consider the portion that partially overlapped at the start of the law.

The show is just good TV. The acting is good. The music is too. The writing is very good to the point they are confident enough to push limits, get meta, and rebuff the audience’s expectations while still consistently delivering. Even the least of the episodes is well worth the watch even if it is just the once.

No, Cable is not where I was going with this. Cable is for profit. 1Stream is non-profit. Cable buys rights to display content and charges flat fees/package. 1Stream would be ‘all content media companies want to publish’ with no rights fees etc. You would pay for how much you use the service and media companies would earn based on how much their content gets used. That is not how Cable works at all. Most notably: I’ve said nothing about ads in this mix either although that could be one way for users to pay.

Think YouTube on a grand scheme, but, Steven Spielburg/Paramount Pictures as the CC instead of Pewdiepie

If you use Ublock you can use this filter to clean Shorts from Youtube (FTR you only need 2 lines near the bottom that have the word ‘short’ in them, but Lemmy formatting is balls so it’s all or nothing):

If Paramount collapses Star Trek will get bought by somebody. At this point that would almost certainly improve anything new produced. That said, I think we are at a turning point in TV type media. With the writers strike showing no signs of let up, and Disney, Paramount, Netflix, and I’m sure more streaming services all showing signs of significant difficulties, something big is going to happen.

My hope is that the industry gets together and decides to cut the BS 8 streaming services for random content and change things to be more user friendly. All content on one non-profit service whose income is divided equitably (after running costs deducted) to all content contributing creators based on demand for their supplied material. Something akin to YouTube, but paid with a subscription fee. No selling rights or whatever in that if you want to make money on your show? Publish it to 1stream and get what it earns back at a standard rate / min watched or whatever.

I would probably pay $80/month for 1 service that had everything guaranteed with no problems. Not this subscribe to 1 for 3 months and then another for a month and so on BS.

To be fair, if you can’t figure out how the syntax works based on the clear text, and usage everywhere else in Lemmy, you shouldn’t be allowed to host a community.

Works.

If people can’t be arsed enough to even get their post format correct (when it is clearly described in the post rules), they don’t deserve the free promotion.

What is the natural science reason to wear blue light eyeglasses instead of just turning one’s computer display’s blue lights off

Other situations where there is blue light are also out of scope just as the overall harm caused by blue light.

Your question becomes ‘why wear eyeglasses to filter blue light when there is no blue light?’ The answer is “Science doesn’t say that”.

The reason is that the assumption ‘no other light sources aside from the screen’ is almost impossible to control for. You’d have to be in a room with no daylight coming in and zero other blue light sources emitting from say a smartphone, clock readout, artificial lighting for the room and/or any of its appliances.

Even accepting this ridiculous decision to rule ‘all other sources of light out of scope’ then the obvious only possible answer is that THE SCREEN EMITS BLUE LIGHT OUTSIDE THE CONTROL OF SOFTWARE COLOUR SETTINGS. For example, LCD screens use a white light bulb to light up a screen of LCD pixels. This white light leaks. It’s why LCD screens have lower contrast (black looks dark grey).

I suppose my explanation is out of scope, but that’s the only real reason that I know of.

It really isn’t. This question is circular and relies on a presupposition that becomes ridiculous from the subsequent arbitrary rules imposed.

;tldr OP’s question is out of scope for ELI5

This post makes me sad because I’m not a programmer and I don’t even know what the difference is. I just want a hug but apparently I’m ineligible.

Clever use of ‘nonsensical’ here. How refreshing.
