That is super dope. Glad for my home county to have people that compassionate as well as skilled.

Well said, and well put. Sometimes it feels a little lonely on Lemmy and the fediverse, but I feel good contributing to a decentralized web.

It will take be a massive undertaking considering how much misinformation is out there.

Yeah that’s ultra surprising

I can hear his voice saying that with his trademark giggle at the end.

Bro I am supposed to travel overseas and now I’m super nervous about a longaul on a Boeing

Also there is a discord

I’m gonna shill for FreshRSS and Feed Me. Been a fantastic combination so far.

Self hosting FreshRSS allows me to curate shit I care about. Even better, it’s private aggregation. Sometimes though, I miss the conversation around these topics. For that, Lemmy exists.

So I was listening to a Bloomberg Tech Podcast about this. Someone from some random media group actually said “consumer demand for ad supported content over netflix’s usual high production value dramas is up”

For some reason, that statement was both incredibly threatening and incredibly ominous

Is that Descartes?

I would laugh if only this wasn’t a terrifying plausibility. Imagine you have pneumonia and need a chest x-ray to confirm that was denied because you were out of network. Imagine there is no recourse because all customer service has been outsourcedto a very friendly chat bot who will kindly tell you ‘DENIED’ after arguing with it for 30 minutes.

Amen

Are you fucking shitting me?

This was one of the most uniquely terrifying and saddening things i’ve ever read.

A friend of mind in IT suggested revouninstaller. I have never used it in practice but he says it might be helpful in this case.

Modern society is all about convenience. Linux can increase marketshare by being more convenient and digestible. Actually, I am in the process of moving to Debian w/ KDE Plasma as my daily driving computer, but it required extensive research on what my options were. Quite simply, there are WAY too many options all touting features that slightly differ from each other than normal end users struggle to interpret.

Formula is simple. More easy = more better. Make adoption as painless as possible, people MIGHT trickle in.

This is absolutely grade A batshit crazy, not just your average dystopian batshit crazy.

I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness! It is such a nice thing to centralize all my most sensitive data into one giant honeypot waiting to meltdown. It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!

I tried. Even if the direct play is 1080p, they still transcode and they don’t know the difference. They just ask “why is it buffering so much”. The luxury about netflix is that it handled all the quality control with zero fiddling. I screech every time I see the little HW symbol.

I had to get a graphics card for my plex server to handle the number of my friends transcoding because of the Netflix password crackdown.
