I’ve found the opposite to be the case unfortunately. Plex “just works” while my jellyfin server had almost constant issues with subtitles (two of my frequent users need these because of hearing problems) and would frequently crash requiring docker restarts.

I adopted jellyfin very early, used it for many (maybe 6?) years and these problems only got worse over time.

I always prefer open source (often to a fault) but I am glad I switched to Plex a few months ago. I got the lifetime pass for cheap for black Friday. I still leave jellyfin running for a few users, but everyone else has already switched over.

You’re an idiot or you’re trolling, I honestly can’t tell.

Wow it’s almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn’t vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse…

I went into Walmart yesterday for my annual soap/shampoo/mouthwash bulk purchase as they have the products I like at the best price (in bulk). I got to the section and it was all locked up behind glass…

I turned around and walked right out. No idea where I’m gonna get it from now, but I’m not gonna support that bullshit.

The claims of mass losses due to shoplifting have been proven false multiple times over. These are just racist store policies intended to make you spend more time in their store or to buy online or from mobile apps.

Enshitification keeps on keeping on.

The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that’s a sign…

What percentage of the gamers that you know would just be able to find and download an emulator from a git repo hosted on .onion or .i2p?

For me, that’s just me. None of my gamer buddies would put in that effort, they’d just buy a product or play a game from steam.

I think we’re still a long way from privacy focused protocols being mainstream in the way the web has become in the last 15 years.

Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth

I don’t think we can, honestly.

Like I want Trump locked up, along with any politician who claimed the election was stolen.

But the fact is, the orange shit won 2024 and in 9 days (uuuugh) will fully pardon himself making any punishment nullified be the president again (thanks for the correction, he can’t pardon himself from state charges.

If the various governments actually wanted to punish Trump (they don’t, unfortunately) they would have actually done something and took advantage of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS that there was a possibility of their cases making any impact at all.

Our broken justice system is slower than our corrupt political cycle, which lets those in power do whatever they want.

Can he instead just stick a gun in his mouth?

Bingo!

I updated my previous comment with the details I had forgotten. Commenting again since you probably won’t see an update.

In summary: google Devon Arthurs. He’s a neo-nazi kid who converted to an ISIS wacko and then killed some people and took some others hostage. That’s one clear connection.

Actually the FBI has been recommending people use more secure communications lately due to Chinese spying through SMS network infrastructure.

I’ve seen some connections in my research recently, but can’t find the article mentioning it. I want to say there were ties between the remains of the AWD (after their leadership was arrested in TX/FL), the 09A (which is quite possibly bring run by state intelligence orgs) and ISIS. I’ll look through my notes more and see if I kept the link and I’ll update here.

Update: So my memory was kinda close. A kid from AWD, Devin Arthurs, was a neo-nazi who later converted to Islam and was a supporter of ISIS.

I think it is no small coincidence that this kid converted. The ideologies are much more similar than you would think.

Another scary similarity between these two factions is that they both actively trying to recruit from the US military and ask their supporters to join the US military to get training and intelligence access.

Correct.

But a concerning thing to me is that there has been a lot of crossover between some white nationalists and extreme islamist terror orgs over the last decade or so.

They have very similar (conservative) values and goals (accelerationism). One WN group that was recently busted up was called The Base, which is also the English meaning of Al Qaeda.

Though the American government is much more quick to label Islamic adjacent attackers terrorists than any white attacker.

He won’t be old enough, but that would be fucking incredible if he ran.

This actually made me lol

There was no “gunman”, Thompson was killed by his own greed. You should arrest him, but you can’t because he’s dead.

Money please!

Weather and other very complex and hard to predict stuff like fluid dynamics, things that don’t have a human or completely random behaviour, is probably the best thing an AI could do for humanity.

Also could be good for understanding animal communication like dolphins etc.

I don’t think it will really be able to do much actual human work, though. Maybe management…

Work work

Fuck!
