I know, but my response sparked further discussion so it’s cool.

I’m not a native German speaker, but I figure I should add some bit of context.

Acting on stage is far different than acting on a camera. Facial expressions are exaggerated. The body is used more to communicate emotion. Speech is louder and more exaggerated. Most stage actors have to be told to tone down their acting when switching to film or TV because you can see more acting on a screen than in person.

Hitler gives his performances as a stage performer, but we are watching his performances on film in close-up.

At minimum, we would need AutoCAD, Microstation, and Projectwise. We also need these exact programs as our clients require our CAD submittals to be in specific formats.

We also need Bluebeam Revu for other client coordination.

Zombie Strippers! (2008) is far better than it has any right to be, especially if they had kept in the deleted scene. The film has Jenna Jameson as a stripper at a club who turns into a sexy zombie, getting a lot of fans in the process. The other strippers as well as others tied to the strip club then have to deal with the consequences as more strippers become zombies to increase their earnings.

A Scanner Darkly (2006) is a rotoscoped movie based on a Philip K Dick novel set in future LA with a detective trying to find the supply of a dangerous new drug while being addicted to it and suffering from his addiction. The rotoscoping helps add a vibe of delirium to the movie and it is well acted including probably one of the best uses of Keanu Reeves as an actor.

Birdemic is a bad movie where everyone does a bad job making it. The only part that makes it somewhat interesting is that it includes obvious wish fulfillment by the writer-director.

Yeah, but I don’t want to flip through photos in GIMP.

This is a work problem and a lot of software we use isn’t supported on Linux.

It becomes a problem if you didn’t take the photos.

Part of it is cultural while another part is economic.

Culturally, Canada was part of the British Empire well into the 20th century. This meant that having relations with Canada was having relations with the British Empire. Outside of the War of 1812, the British Empire typically negotiated with the USA with respect that the USA could project at least the same kind of land power in the Americas as the British Empire could.

Culturally, Mexico was a successor nation to the Spanish Empire. Mexico didn’t have the level of protection that Canada did nor did it have similar government institutions as the USA had. There was also a difference in approach to colonization between the two nations; the USA engaged in settler colonialism using white Europeans while Mexico had a large indigenous population incorporated into Mexican society.

Economically, Canada has a per capita national wealth on par with the USA while Mexico has lagged behind. This has led to a lot of migration from Mexico to the USA and Mexico being used as a low cost labor source.

A lot of multiparty civil wars have different sides with mutually exclusive goals.

If you want to talk about boardgames, there are games like Root where different factions have their own separate rules that conflict with allowing multiple people being able to win.

If you make your way to San Antonio, remember the Alamo.

Luckily for you, barbeque in Texas is beef based. So I’d recommend eating some good barbeque.

Feudalism as a form of government didn’t end in Europe until 2008 when the Island of Sark converted over to representative democracy.

It depends when vegans attack on ten-speed bikes.

He likely understands what a tariff is well enough. His problem is that he either doesn’t understand the implications or chooses not to communicate that part to voters.

And the union organizer’s name? Albert Einstein.

Regarding third parties, leftists like to claim this giant reservoir of support just if Democrats listened to them, but they never show up in an election at all. Jill Stein and other leftist candidates didn’t win even a percent of the vote. Trump won an outright majority of the popular vote.

Why listen to a group that’s just a blip?

A raw number across the whole federation would be useless. Different instances have their own cultures, making a unified number worthless. People could also goose their numbers by creating an instance that gives their account unlimited karma.

Instance karma could be useful, but it is a design decision not to show it. I suspect that will continue until there is a need to use karma for moderation, but I suspect that defederation would be the lower lying fruit for now.

I don’t think the form of Lemmy as a federated service will be able to scale.

What I expect is that, if Lemmy is successful, it will be as a platform for various Reddit alternatives, kind of like how Truth Social is Mastodon.
