From the video description:
"The British Library is one of the six legal deposit libraries for the UK — and the only one that doesn’t pick and choose, or have to ask for copies. That’s a lot of books to store, and the internet’s only making it worse. ■ The BL: https://bl.uk ■ UK Web Archive: https://www.webarchive.org.uk/
This video has a correction: it turns out the formal interview requirement for a reader pass has been dropped. However, you’ll still need to get a pass, and you’re not allowed to take books out of the reading rooms! You can see all corrections on the channel here: https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/

I edited the name of the post to better reflect the content of the video as the original video title is just “Don’t waste it”, the host talks about the stats relating to how many people in the modern world in first world countries are still counted as illiterate and how those stats made him reflect on how lucky he was in being encouraged to read and still does to this day. I like this video as a decent summation of what makes reading wonderful in and of itself.
Lots of graphic novels and manga, once done with that I have a nice gardening book to look forward to:
Home after Dark by David Small
Kuusama by Elisa Macellari
The Climber by Shinichi Sakamoto
This summary is from the youtube channel that made it: History Dose.
"The young sailor Sam Bellamy sails to the West Indies to seek Spanish gold and discovers a sea infested with thieves. Turning pirate himself, Bellamy navigates a back-stabbing and libertine underworld host to the pirates of Nassau, including Henry Jennings, Benjamin Hornigold and Blackbeard.
The art is original and manually made by Joseph Feely. "
The usual mantras for guided meditations are abstract and focus on guiding your breathing but this one is more down to earth imho.
Small criticism, I think your first article on “The redditor’s guide to how Kbin works” is the one packed with the most useful information for any newbie migrating from reddit or any social media so it deserves a sticky or some kind of mechanism to make it the first thing that pops up imho. Otherwise, awesome work. I thought the Artemis app was still in exclusive beta so it’s good to hear it’s available on the app store now.
The video above is a discussion between Louis Rossmann, a philanthropist and a programmer who use and advocate for the usage of open source software. The connection between all three of them is that the philanthropist heads an organization called FUTO that gives grants to people developing useful open source projects and Louis Rossmann (I believe) is an employee of that organization and the programmer Aiden is a recipient of that grant. The conversation goes over the complication in trying to monetize and fund open source software that’s typically expected to be free all around.
For those curious about the FUTO organization, you can find some of their links below.

So a team of you just collectively stomping/T-bagging a random dinosaur Skeleton?
Download the offline version maps of wherever you plan to stay/travel to. You can do this via google maps or OSM maps, at the very least it’s helped me keep peace of mind when out and about.
I’m so thankful they’re keeping the original black and white coloring of the manga as I think it helps to emphasize the horror as it goes on. Fingers crossed this’ll be the adaptation to disprove the naysayers saying none of Junji Ito’s horror stories can be adapted to animation
The video above is a long essay on the experiences and research the guy in the video has put into understanding the modern dating situation men have to deal with when it comes to dealing with conflicting ideals on what a proper approach looks like all the way to how consent works in the modern dating world but from a man’s POV. I’m curious about the guys in this community, does what he describe in the video mirror your experience? even if it doesn’t I’d be curious to hear why and how.
I don’t know why but Lutris has been consistently dependable at installing and launching gog games but installing them via heroic launcher has been hit or miss where it says it can’t locate the install folder. Maybe I mishandled the mounting of the SD card but Lutris has been a simple way to install more gog games from my library so that’s why I use it more than adding each non steam game one at a time.
I like this idea of promoting media that isn’t actively trying to tear us down or perpetuate caricatures of us. Shout out to the Castlevania series on netflix. A series that has deep and complex male characters of all types who evolve and go through their own journeys throughout the series.
Outreach and exposure are things I worry about a lot in terms of having this community on lemmy. Granted it doesn’t have to deal with the whims of random admins doing god knows what to the policies, mod permissions and api prices but the one thing I’ll give to reddit was the cross exposure across subreddits was unparalleled, it was a simple autocomplete /r/InsertSubredditNameHere and that ease of click through was a major factor in getting the word out to people who had similar outlooks to LWMA but may not have known to look for that kind of phrasing or name.
In my ideal future, I hope this community can one day become it’s own instance with it’s own funding (patreon maybe) so as to make a self autonomous space for us to discuss media, research, personal issues and where we can come together.
Adding on to this, it’s also weird to me to never hear class or race acknowledged in their one dimensional view of history as something that solely benefited men at all times. Like are they gonna seriously argue the black men who were literally hunted down and tortured for sport in American history were still somehow above the white women sitting comfortable at the sides?
Would it be in bad taste to repost some of the archived posts from leftwingmaleadvocates?
Even though they’re old I think they still hold a lot of relevance for this community and hold a lot of insight to start interesting conversarions.
Summary from the youtuber that made this video “The living philosophy”:
"For Nietzsche The Last Man stood as the opposite of the Ubermensch and the great danger of the “levelling” tendency of modernity. In this episode we are going to look at what Nietzsche meant by the Last Man and how his prophecy has come through. We look at The Last Man in 21st century society and what Nietzsche got right even while we should be cautious of fully embracing his ideal.
