@bibliolater though it is nice getting boosts I think boosts are useless and kind of annoying even. because so far I frequently was getting quite many boosts from people with many followers but almost never getting follows. I think if you like someone's posts then just give him a follow. so because people boosting but not following I for myself decided to have "follow everyone I boost and not boost if I don't follow" strategy. I think many people are just boosting hoping to get follows from those they boost. still better than "favourite".
I only now paid closer attention at this feature on mobile Chromium where you can see number of "cookies in use" for a web page when I click on a lock icon before url. and it says 180 for CNN website - very interesting. By the way, foxnews.com uses from 16-26 cookies which is much less compare with CNN. Even for site like space.com it 70. In the mean time site like Swedish svt.se for example only 2 cookies - it will use 12 but only if I click "Accept all" on the pop-up. and German tagesschau.de uses just 8 cookies without asking. a site like Finnish iltalehti.fi will use 12-16 but if you click "Approve" on cookie pop-up number can go up to 56-80. so it is better idea to click "Refuse all" on cookies pop-ups and go to browser cookies settings and choose "Block third party cookies".
To compare with, Bromite has "Ad blocking" functionality, which is when "on", blocks most of all CNN cookies and shows only 12 of them for CNN.

@olives @MagnetoMancer you probably right but not because people do not want to pay, it is because many young people there, do not want to upload their passport scan on twitter, many don't have scanner, many don't have credit card or money at all. and people in general are just not as rich to just throw away even even just $1 dollar, though many people will stil pay, many will not, but many also will.
@MagnetoMancer actually I think it will be right thing of him to do and I thought about it too that he should do it for accounts with over 100 Followers they should pay. It will make people care more about their followers and quality of content will greatly improve. twitter as well as well fediverse should quit all the fake following. it creates too much activity for a network for one person which not really honest towards admins or healthy for a network. and people following even something like 200 accounts most likely do not read them which does not make sense. I think YouTube should do the same thing and quit all this hundreds of thousands fake followers nonsense. followers should pay and part of money should go to people they follow - would be cool and make sense - this fill support artists and just good people who will do good content.
@pasties yes, thank you, I think about it and maybe I should do "aptitude search wine" and see what are other packages with "wine" in their name are there. If there "wine32" package maybe I could try run 32-bit .exe with it or try install some other related packages. I think I tried "wine32" already before but I try again for certainty.
@TruthSandwich @LouisIngenthron yeah I know, actually presidents doesn't matter, and not what makes great countries. What makes great countries is people. US, Japan, South Korea are great countries not because of presidents, government or politics, but because of people, their language, culture.
'#Dune: Part 2' [#movie] delayed to March 2024 due to Hollywood strikes

@carlile it's fake. it(#lbry) supposed to be decentralized but as it is it seems like the only "instance" existing is #odysee.com I heard it's very difficult/expensive to host so no one does it which is clear sign that something is very wrong with it. if I'm right it will not succeed. in addition it's very heavy, slow, has ads, and not open-source. there's #Librarian called "frontend" but it's just "odysee.com frontend" - not "lbry frontend". I also suspect they sensor worse than YouTube otherwise it would have become piracy haven. there nothing really good about it though it still more interesting content than #peertube from some youtubers who probably there for more money, not because thay excited about technology.
#fediverse
so it will never be anything like mastodon where anyone can host their own instance

Though I more prefer #activitypub because activitypub is more decentralized and its "instances" are more fast - web host friendly. I love how #nostr gives to people more easy, free, and private way to access social media space - just one click and you have your autogenerated password and mandatory autogenarated "username" takes away pressure to reveal your real name making you more inclined to be anonymous.

New Ghibli film draws early morning crowds despite little promotion
Studio Ghibli fans flocked to theaters Friday on the opening day of what is speculated to be Japanese anime master Hayao Miyazaki’s final film.
Without any promotion ahead of the release, fans were equipped with just two clues — the film’s title, “Kimitachi wa Do Ikiru Ka?” and a simple movie poster portraying a bird — as they showed up at a Toho Cinemas theater in the Kabukicho district of Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward bright and early for one of Japan’s first screenings. The title translates to “How Do You Live?” [Since this story's publication, the film has officially been titled in English as "The Boy and the Heron."]

The main value of #nitter is that it makes internet more #free by providing access to #Twitter for people who have Twitter blocked in their country.

I actually would have preferred #Threads instead of #Twitter if I had only two choices. You may say it's silly reason but I just like Threads' name and logo better. However what I do not like about #Facebook at all, and seems like Threads is going this way as well, is that Facebook is a "walled garden". I surprised Facebook have gotten such big user base despite being "walled" because how would people know if there somethe worth registering for if place is closed. I think think for microblogging site is important to be open and being "walled" is what can prevent Threads from becoming successful. because Twitter like #Instagram is public place where public figures like celebrities, whereas Facebook is more like private place for families and friends. Being "walled" and "just an app" makes Threads seem like #Whatsapp and #Telegram.
@Fragglemuppet "#Mastodon is for what you love, not what you hate."
I wish this were true but to me it looks like almost everyone on Mastodon constantly keep hating on everything - on blockchain, on Elon Musk, on so called "fascists", on antivaxers, even on people who do not want to use "image descriptions, on Putin, on Russia and Russian people, on God, on Bible, and so on and on, making Fedi toxic place.
