That’s a nice opinion. Too bad it’s wrong.

He only expressed his opinion about free speech. YOU amplified it into violence.

Why were you down voted for that? It’s ridiculous. It’s literally a paraphrasing of Thomas Paine saying, “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” FFS. That IS freedom of speech.

I never played the others. I play with my friend overseas every Monday. He chooses the games. He may have chosen it because it is cooperative, online and not PvP. IDK.

But we also play, Aliens, Grimm Dawn, all of the borderlands games, like literally ALL of them including Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Two is my favorite.

Diablo 4. I mean, I know it is easy, but I felt the version of Halo I played was way easy and it has a good reputation.

What a surprise, he and his people inflate the numbers. Surprised they didn’t say, “Largest attendance for a military parade in history!”

Can you imagine having your truck sell less units than the ugliest dumpster fire vehicle ever to exist?

This is actually optimistic. They think kids are going to grow up.

Ohio let’s you check out 100 books at a time?

It was horrible.

Man, don’t read this article unless you have a strange desire to have nightmares.

As I mentioned, I didn’t really know where to post it. I guess my lemmy-foo isn’t up to snuff. I saw that this appears to be in lemmy.world, but only 10 options came up when I tried to post and none of them really seemed right. Advice?

Thank you for the thorough response. After looking carefully at what you wrote I didn’t really see a difference between the term self-hosting and home network.

You said you have software that automatically downloads media. The way I see this using movies for instance, if I own the movies and have them on my machine, then I can stream them over my network and have full control. Whereas if I “own” them on Amazon and steam it from there, they can track the viewing experience, push ads, or even remove the content completely. I understand that… But if I want a NEW movie, I’m back to Amazon to get it in the first place (or Netflix, or Walmart, etc. I get it). I’m fact, personally I’ve started actually buying disks of the movies/music I like most so that it can’t really be taken away and I can enjoy it even without an Internet connection. Am I missing something? Unless of course the media you are downloading is pirated.

I know I’m asking what seems to be a huge question but I’m really only asking for a broad description, sort of an ELI5 thing.

Wow! Thank you all for the civilized responses. This all sounds so great. I am older and I feel like I’ve already seen enough ads for one lifetime and I hate all this fascist tracking crap.

But how does that work? Is it just a network on which you store your stuff in a way that you can download it anywhere or can it do more? I mean, to me that’s just a home network. Hosting sounds like it’s designed for other people to access. Can I put my website on there? If so, how do I go about registering my domain each year. I’m not computer illiterate but this sounds kind of beyond my skill level. I’ll go search Jellyfin, weird name, and see what I can find. Thanks again!

I’ve never posted on Lemmy before. I tried to ask this question of the greater community but I had to pick a community and didn’t know which one. This shows up as lemmy.world but that wasn’t an option.

Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host? What is the advantage/cost. Sorry if I’m hijacking. Maybe someone could just post a link or something.

Because they are sociopaths that have zero empathy for those they deport.

Oh no, I feel really bad for him… Anyway…

It doesn’t matter unless you’re Hilary.

Hmmm, and they didn’t have video of the event, why?

Sounds about right.

Why are they feeling this way quietly?
