  • The birth doesn’t even have any relevance to be part of a royal family. I might remember this wrong, but last time I was in Stockholm I went to the armoury museum or whatever its called. There was a small tidbit almost hidden in some big paragraph about a Swedish royal who had no kids and therefore no heir. He went ahead and just adopted a random French general (I think) who then by extension became a real royal person.

    I actually just looked it up now, it was a Swedish king who had no children, adopted this French guy, who then became Swedish king himself: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_XIV_John

    So from then on the Swedish royal family wasn’t technically Swedish anymore? I didn’t check who he married and had kids with though.






  • Must be nice living somewhere where cinema prices did not climb. I can assure you its been different where I live.

    You got to look at it relatively, a movie never cost even close to $60, so why would it end up there. It cost something like less than $10 but now the average is around $16. Games were maybe $60 and now could be $80, so it is actually a very comparable increase.

    Edit: to be fully clear, I don’t think there should be a comparable increase between those two things. Buying a video game and going to watch a movie are two very different things to do. Just pointing out that movie tickets did in fact get more expensive. There’s also the “creative accounting” often being done in the film industry, I don’t think that’s a thing in the gaming industry. So many differences.




  • Can I ask about the change of not keeping record of deleted files after 6 months by default. Does that mean if I sync two directories constantly so that if syncthing sees one of them has a file deleted, it will delete the file on the other too, if I copy back that same file into the synced folder, after 6 months pass Syncthing would sync that file again? Or what else does this mean?

    Currently I am just using this to have an easy transfer between two computers, I keep moving out files that have been transferred from both folders, so I would think this has no effect on how I use it?










  • This actually isn’t necessarily censorship. This is more likely users deleting their comments when moving away from Reddit to… Surprise! Lemmy.

    Back during the big move people made a lot of scripts and apps to do that for them and my unpopular opinion is that its been not a good thing to do. Unless they archive their answers somewhere else it is lost knowledge. I know I am pretty alone with that view so please don’t start a discussion again, I won’t reply.
