Why am I not surprised that the one guy the cops actually arrest for this is “Fernando Diaz”.

Can’t arrest all the “Thomas Smiths” since ICE is already “deputizing” anyone that wants to participate in their human trafficking of brown people.

Nice. I don’t think I saw SmartTube before. Will check it out. Thanks.

I changed to the projectivity launcher on my Android TV and it was night and day in terms of performance. No ads. The UI doesn’t change every other week to make me look at some new show I don’t care about. I can literally just hide everything I don’t want to see.

I should probably look into actual entire OS swaps available for my TV but I don’t have the time. Changing the launcher and using ADB (over lan) to disable updates and apply some optimizations was worth the day it took me.

Turns out the hardware on the TV is fine. The software was just complete garbage and got worse with every update.

Now if only I could fix the UI in the actual apps like YouTube. But still it’s a lot better. I’ll probably install the YouTube alternative app one day when I have time.

My wife started using the TV over her tablet after I changed it. She said she hated how slow it was to just turn on and start that she just would go to her tablet instead.

Think you hit the nail on the head. God I hate how capitalism was applied during the induction of computers and the Internet. It ruined so much trying to force “scarcity” driven supply/demand on a technology that fundamentally removed the supply problem. At least in terms of software.

Software never should have been allowed to be restricted by past limitations only to ensure profits could be made.

But we force it on it. Only for the benefits of companies that serve to prevent innovation more than they produce it.

That’s absolutely fucked.

When https://massgrave.dev/ exists it’s even worse.

I think this tax on tech illiterate people is getting too high.

Should I start selling USB drives for $5? I don’t wanna encourage Windows. But I feel bad for the normies. $211 is insane.

MS literally allows massgrav on GitHub. They have for years. They do not give a fuck.

Paying for windows at this point is a normie tax. And it’s gotten too damn high!

I hate capitalism. This guy is a symbol of wholesome good hearted teaching and entertainment. But somehow after you die people can suck the profits out of that until every time I see his face somewhere I have to be reminded that we live in a world that didn’t deserve him.

Do we have to let every fucking part of our culture be reduced to a damn dollar sign?

Absolutely. Good luck comrade

Yeah that’s probably for the best. I say this with no judgement as a former WoW addict. It’s the time to do shit in the real world and get organized to resist these Fascist. Hit up PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) or DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) in your area. If anything it will give you a social life on Friday/Saturday (usually when they have meetups for PSL in my experience). PSL in my area even organized child care during meetups/protests.

Also, your local SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) if you have one. Basically the only place to train with a weapon that isn’t filled with MAGA hats. But they have literally been overwhelmed since November so might have to deal with hogs in another course if you’re interested in that. Again, depends on your location.

That’s my experience trying to explore real life anyway. Your path might be different. Plenty of mutual aids to join. Lots of local organizations of any kind our leading the charge to resist ICE. Depending on your location that might be a Mosque, Synagogue, Church, Temple, etc. (Thats one of the main reasons they now legally allow ICE to raid them. Which is FUBAR.) Find out what works for you in your area.

Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.

I’m not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I’ve read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for “inciting violence” is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to “go to hell where Nazis belong”. Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of “no” to my unban request.

This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it’s the plague. Digg died because of bad decisions. Reddit seems like it’s gonna become 4chan but for the mainstream. I don’t know if it’ll die. I think they’re purging anyone that has leftist profiles.

Didn’t sample all of the shitty halo players that are too afraid to talk to a women.

I lived in a small town in the Netherlands for 3 months last year for work. Never once needed a car. You’re imagining a world where youre not using a car in a world built for cars. Do they have their use. Sure. But the scale at which we use them and the world that we build around their use needs to be done away with.

Or you could use literally any form of public transportation and kick the ass of both. ICE or not cars are just a stupid waste of space and resources. They need to be phased out. As a “lefty” I have never advocates for electric cars. They were always a distraction to try to keep car based infrastructure alive.

We truly are getting dumber as a species. We’re facing climate change but running some of the most power hungry processers in the world to spit out cooking recipes and homework answers for millions of people. All to better collect their data to sell products to them that will distract them from the climate disaster our corporations have caused. It’s really fun to watch if it wasn’t so sad.

That’s just not correct. Mate. It’s setting up a secure route from the client to your Plex server. It’s essentially doing what Tailscale does but just handling the client setup automatically via their Plex authentication. They are authenticating the connection and setting up the route from the client to the server. They are not handling petabytes of data people are streaming. The ISPs are doing that.

Its not. It is setting up a secure route from the client to the server. That is quite literally not a server. No one thinks Tailscale is a Server service. That’s essentially all they are doing but just handling adding the clients automatically when they authenticate.

Unless Jellyfin becomes more plug and play Plex will be fine. I like Jellyfin but there is a reason Plex is still around. People are willing to pay for how user friendly it is. Every time I’ve reinstalled Plex it just works with no issues. I can literally set it up at a friend’s house once and never have an issue ever.

With jellyfin Its just never been that experience.

Why is this getting upvoted? Plex isn’t running a server. You are. Your computer and your media files are quite literally “the server” that is serving the files to you remotely. Plex is at best doing authentication.

They are right when it comes to understanding LLMs the LLM definitely understands LLMs better than they do. I’m sure an AI could have a perfect IQ test. But has a really hard time drawing a completely full glass of wine. Or telling me how many R’s are in the word strawberry. Both things a child could do.

Until you ask them how many R’s are in strawberry.
