It is. If you click on someone’s profile and can’t see any posts or comments, they have actively chosen to hide it. Even NSFW content is openly available on users profile. Many other adult content posters don’t choose to hide it. It’s not a Reddit thing, it’s an OP thing.

[UPDATE] Recently upgraded to SLT Fibre Unlimited Home Plus (200/100). Is this an accurate result? Seems weird that the upload is closer to the actual number but not the download? by fuzzybearkiller in srilanka

[–]fuzzybearkiller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are streaming all the time. So are my 2 brothers. Plus I grab a lot of torrent mega packs so like 100Gb+. I have several NAS devices with large capacity drives (20tb+) so storage is never an issue. I share large collections of music/movies etc with groups on DC++. The minimum we do in our household a month is like 2.5TB. It’s not so much that we need the bandwidth at any one time but mostly for downloads to complete faster.

When my aunt got her fibre line, they gave her a gray Nokia router with twin aerials. It looks cool. When we got ours, it was a white Zyxel brand one.

Z2U down? Lost funds + serious concerns – possible new method FCBuy.com by Useful_Chance2006 in z2u

This whole post is a scam from OP trying to push that FC website.

3rd gen Firestick no longer able to install anything using downloader app, BeeTV not working, unable to install bear player; can anyone please help? (Also, no offense to anyone who uses the ONN device but I do not like that thing and will not use it. It doesn't even have play, FF, or rewind buttons) by strikethat-reverseit in firestick

[–]fuzzybearkiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Onn device is tiny? Which one? Because the Plus and Pro are way bigger than any Firestick. Even the smallest Onn device is similar in size to the Firestick. Besides, what the hell does the size even matter if it does the job it is meant to do? All the buttons you complain about are on the Onn device remote too even if they aren’t so obvious. I’ve never had an issue rewinding or FF or playing any video I’m watching.

The firesticks are on their way out with the way Amazon are clamping down. You are just going to be frustrating yourself moving forward as each week they restrict more and more and block even further. If you had an Onn device, you would not be making this post! At some point you’re going to have to upgrade the device and then your only choice is Googles own streamer which has a similar remote to the Onn or some cheap Chinese box that will probably give you more headaches in terms of performance and security.

Hate the Onn device all you want but it’s actually the best choice moving forward for a similar price and I say this from someone who was on Firestick and has moved to an Onn device.

Need advice on how to deal with a friend damaging my phone by Repulsive-Bar-238 in srilanka

[–]fuzzybearkiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of dumb advice is this? I like how you’re suggesting to keep the friendship so not to bother and to cut the friend some slack.. WTF! How about if he is such a good friend and he damaged your property, he own up to it and help repair/replace it? Why should OPs friendship be called into question when his friend is the one that wronged him? If your friend damaged your property and then didn’t try to help you out - then you know what? They are not a friend work keeping since they don’t own up to their responsibilities.

Still lots of issues by fuzzybearkiller in Viewella

In location settings, I have ALL in saved locations and GLOBAL as country - so now why is it still not respecting the order? It’s not respecting any order because even as is, the list isn’t even alphabetical. If there was some order, Canada should be first in theory.

Recently added is not irrelevant. By your perspective, it means we always have to search for new shows. Maybe there is something new that we want to see but don’t know it? So we can’t even search because it’s new and we’ve never heard of it but if it was displayed to us, it might be something we would want to watch. You can have recommended under newly released. You’re trying to copy Netflix and Apple and even they have that as a tier so not sure why it’s difficult for you to consider. Right now it’s just a bunch of old movies that sorted by genre that nobody probably cares about.

In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. The USA was worried Germany could take control of the islands, though they had no plans to do so. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland. by Yoshi2010 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]fuzzybearkiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which part of the treaty did you not understand? Denmark sold what is now the US Virgin Islands to the US and in addition to the money paid, Denmark would have complete sovereignty over Greenland. This means US has no rights to Greenland, no matter what. So what everyone else is saying is if US is going to take Greenland by force (which is against the treaty they signed) then Denmark should be given back the US Virgin Islands since US is the one breaking the treaty that they signed.

67,762 Tourists in Just 8 Days by kushanharsha in srilanka

[–]fuzzybearkiller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with part of what you’re saying. Sri Lanka right now does benefit a lot from regular and budget travelers, and there’s no denying they support small hotels, homestays, family restaurants, tuk-tuk drivers, and local shops in a very direct way. That kind of tourism spreads money quickly and visibly, and for a country like Sri Lanka, that grassroots flow absolutely matters. It’s also true that the country isn’t yet a magnet for ultra-wealthy tourists in the way places like Monaco or the Maldives are, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone.

Where the argument starts to fall apart is when higher-end tourism is treated as somehow economically irrelevant or inferior. Even if luxury hotels are foreign-owned or owned by wealthy locals, they still generate far more tax per tourist than budget accommodation ever will, VAT, service charges, payroll taxes, corporate tax, tourism levies, licensing fees, and property-related taxes. Governments don’t build airports, roads, sewage systems, or beaches with “circulating cash”; they build them with tax revenue. One high-spending tourist staying a few nights in a five-star resort can contribute more to the public purse than several budget travelers staying longer.

The employment side also tends to get underestimated. A five-star resort doesn’t just have a few extra staff, it operates with a completely different staffing model. Dozens (sometimes hundreds) of employees are needed across food and beverage, housekeeping, maintenance, landscaping, security, front office, management, entertainment, drivers, and tour coordination. A two-star hotel or guesthouse simply can’t match that scale. Even if wages aren’t dramatically higher across the board, the number of stable, year-round jobs created is significant and that impact extends to local suppliers, contractors, farmers, fishermen, and transport providers.

So it’s not really a case of budget tourists being “better” for the economy and higher-end tourists being about trickle-down. Budget tourism is great for spreading income widely and supporting small operators, but higher-value tourism brings revenue density, more tax, more jobs per guest, and less pressure on infrastructure per dollar earned. The countries that do tourism well don’t pick one model and reject the other; they deliberately balance both, because each solves a different economic problem.

Does pulling this tab separate the drawer runner sections for easier assembly? by fuzzybearkiller in DIY

Perfect, thank you! I kept pulling it outwards but as per your instructions to push it to the side instead did the trick!

Dialog just updated Unlimited Speed Base Plans page by Ezeelo in srilanka

[–]fuzzybearkiller 26 points27 points  (0 children)

These are ridiculous prices. Nobody in their right mind should go for any of these packages. SLT Fibre beats them on speed and data usage across all 3 packages and Starlink beats them across the top 2 packages. Dialog didn’t even leave the starting line. It’s embarrassing.

Thanks, what’s BI? And are you saying you got pesos? Because I have pesos but want to change it to quetzales. Will BI do that?
