So, you’re asking what’s the thread count?
- Comment on Bluesky Social surpasses 19 million users as more celebrities leave X 2 days ago:
You are probably right here in how news agencies and other competing sites would phrase it if BlueSky fails.
Though what bugs me and logically does not make sense (to me) is saying federation is what caused or could cause a site or service to fail.
Its like saying my new shinny website failed because of the Internet, the Internet must then be the problem.

Any chance Jellyfin and Finamp have a music playlist and mix building feature?
Plex has this with Plexamp but I have not had a chance to look into jellyfin to see if a plugin offers something similar.

- Comment on A Twitter-like app where you are the only actual user and every other "user" is an AI bot. 2 months ago:
Kind of like asking “are we are living in a simulation”, but not wanting to know the answer. Even if you really strongly believe its true.
The difference between this AI app and Twitter being, you know its a simulation.
- Comment on 48% Of NYC Bus Riders Don't Pay Fares 2 months ago:
Publically fund it, and make it “free”?
I know not a popular opinion and the argument is always the same. If I dont use it why do I pay for it? But…
Public libraries are “free” and publicly funded. Public schools are “free” and publicly funded. Public streets are “free” and publicly funded. Public plumbing. Not everyone uses all these things, but we all fund them.
- Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work? 2 months ago:
Maybe just in terms of their electronics, such as updates and extended services.
I do wonder if things like heated seat subscription in EV’s and ICE car’s will keep functioning after the company disappears.

China is number one. The USA needs to be number one. The USA wants to be China. Illuminati Confirmed.
- Comment on Google avoids “link tax” bill with deal to fund California journalism and AI 2 months ago:
It would help if the politicians entertaining these ideas knew the difference between a link and a complete summarization of the article or content on a secondary unaffiliated website.
Websites survive by generating traffic, links to these site help increase traffic, the increase in traffic means higher ad revenues. News agencies wanting to double dip is only hurting theselves.
News agencie, you can’t have your cake and eat it.

Radio ads were why I switched to Spotify years ago. Though when Spotifys ads started being a little more intrusive I switched to Plex and Plexamp. My next switch may be jellyfin and Finamp.

Logitech, buy one of the three tiers based on your needs. 10 clicks a day, 15 clicks a day, or unlimited daily click.

Could malware be installed without access to the physical phone? How would this be achieved. Is it with a backdoor from the phone manufacturer or infected somehow from the sim card service provider.

- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 4 months ago:
If he had any decency or moral, Trump shouls have stepped down himself.
Also, kindly remind everyone with a vagina and everyone who cares about someone with one: This year’s presidential election is about abortion access. Roe vs Wade was repealed by extremist MAGA judges appointed by Trump.

Is it just me or don’t European trucks look better then North American trucks? Probably safer for pedestrian traffic as well as automobile traffic, as the driver does not have his sight lines obstructed by the front hood.
- Comment on The only way things can get better is by acknowledging that things aren't as good as they could be 6 months ago:
Absolutely, though I do wish more of the public and local governments would follow this type of mentality. Seems like most local towns and cities have lost this.
Seems like everything’s more along the lines of “if it’s not completely broken, then don’t bother fixing or even improving it.”
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
Until they pull a Microsoft and start throwing ads into the paid model as well.
Or like all the other streaming platforms that had add but you paid the subscription.
