So it's far worse than I remember. Honestly, I can see the 1-2 mb limit be enough for very casual use but a 5gb data cap for a month is beyond a joke.

Why would I want it to not be a scam ? I don't even use it. Years ago, I heard about internet satellite and got curious, so I searched a bit about it and found out it was really expensive. I don't remember exactly but it was more or less in the 100s of dollars monthly for an abysmal speed like " up to 8mb" or something.

If anyone used internet satellite a few years before starlink was launched please correct me if I am wrong.

If ISPs weren't greedy bastards that don't care the slightest about their users and gave everyone fiber then yeah, it's wasteful. Sadly, for a lot of people in rural and inaccessible areas and on sea, it's the only way to access internet.

It's not a scam. Satellite internet was extremely expensive and slow last time I checked a few years before starlink. Yeah , musk is garbage but starlink is actually helping a lot of people worldwide.

Obviously. I doubt bioplastic had even 1/100 of the money and research of their fossil counterparts.

Aside from decompiling the extension and converting the Javascript to work with tempermonkey, I don't think so.

I rarely ever comment on YouTube but this is a nice addition.

embedding videos directly to lemmy via peertube would be the real deal. It fix the problem of hosting videos by the instance, Leemings get videos and peertube get users and viewers. It's a win win.

thanks. The "on HBO" made me miss the feeling of trying to catch the episodes of my favorite shows on tv when kid. I rarely would , but it was an adventure.

His dark Materials? Now, that's a catchy name.

I really liked the world shown in the movie so will certainly give it a read.

Commenting to take notes of movies that weren't ruined by useless sequels.

I wasn't really surprised it didn't get a sequel but I remember that "The golden compass" was made to have sequels from the get go and i think even ended with a cliffhanger, or maybe not. I juste remember feeling like the story was cut short. I didn't feel this with the Harry potter movies despite being another adaptation of a book, so they probably screwed up.
