“After four years under By-den, I’m dying to own the libs…”

It’s only 61 percent because 38% have started stealing groceries. The remaining 1% steals from all the others, like it always has.

Not true. I’m Lemmy, and I don’t believe you. Checkmate!

You don’t say. My autocorrect had a mind of its own again. Fixed it.

Kids changed things but I assure everyone, I probably have a more active and fun life than most the depressed doom scrollers on here without the kids

So much this. It’s so hard to remain a miserable grinch when there’s a tiny human tugging on your limbs, trying to make you touch some actual grass and engage in an epic water gun battle.

Oops. I tried it in the past and just linked to quickly without taking a close look at the repo. I’ve updated the above posting. Thanks for pointing this out.

There’s a plugin for that. Plugin is archived and will become outdated (and unsafe to use) over time. Don’t use it.

Also, brown means the water is in line with the political climate. Clear blue water is liberal Democrat water, boo!

That said, fuck the “disruptors” who first “disrupted” the market (not just fuelled by a “genius” idea, but also the deep pockets of VC), abusing their monopolies to buy off or quash any budding competition, squeeze every last penny out of their victims customers and continuously enshittify their services for both individuals and businesses.

I won’t claim to have more knowledge than you, just more optimism. Let’s stick to the car example and say you’re a European looking to buy a car. You can choose between a petrol-guzzling American-made monster of a car and a reasonably efficient European-made ICE car or EV. Even if I “sweeten the deal” for you by slashing import tariffs, making the American car a little cheaper, you’re not a complete buffoon (unlike the American President). You know that whatever you “saved” on your initial purchase will be eaten up by European petrol prices in no time - particularly if the orange moron destabilises even more oil-producing regions. So you’re not going to buy the American-made car, 0% tariff be damned.

This might have been what the EU negotiators went with: “Let’s give the idiot the larger number if it makes him happy. It will have little to no effect.”

First off, props to you, mate! A toast to this does not require alcohol anyhow. Endorphins will come naturally.

I’ve got a name-tagged bottle of champagne in my fridge, cooled and ready for the occasion. Whenever I open the door, it’s lying there as a happy reminder that, unlike men, the Reaper does not take bribes. He does not respond to threats or tantrums. And he does not chicken out. He’s coming for him. And once he does, I’ll enjoy that bottle and piss it all over 47’s legacy.

While this kind of staking could deter bad actors, it might also deter casual contributors. If I just so happen to stumble upon a kernel bug and have a quick and easy way to report it, I’ll probably do so. If you make me jump through a lot of hoops to first make a deposit, I might not.

It also means you end up playing administrator to all of the “I forgot my password for the ninth time this week, can you reset it for me” inane requests.

Jellyfin is a self-hosted streaming service. You have just understood the concept of self-hosting, Sir.

your only real option for remote access is a VPN. But that makes sharing with friends/family extremely difficult.

The first part is true. The latter is exaggerated. Yes, it’s more of a hassle than just “install the app, follow a link and you’re done.” That said, if done through wg-easy (a wireguard configuration frontend), it’s “install two apps, scan a QR code, enter a server URL and you’re done.” Also, corporations spoon-feeding users, creating an expectation that tech just magically knows who I am and works on fairydust and rainbows, that’s what got us into this mess. Expecting a modicum of setting up from the user isn’t too much to ask if they can then access somebody else’s services for free.

Dicks out for Harambe Whatshisname!

Who are you kidding?

You’re making it sound like I’m making my users walk a mile on burning coals! Yes, I do expect them to be able to be able to tie their shoelaces, install an application and scan a QR code. It’s not like they’re not getting anything in return for such “trouble”. ;)
