Good luck on your journey to live a tech free, pre-industrial life. Sounds unpleasant.

It’s such a game changer, it’s damn near mandatory for pet owners.

I’m anti-cloud connected devices, too, but the right answer is getting one that’s local or disconnected. Guess they were too dumb to figure that out, and making fun of people who make the compromise on it maintained their ego.

If you’re opposed to modern conveniences, get a broom.

I’d add being able to set a different temperature for the driver and passenger. It’s a godsend for relationships.

You think the Dems won’t help them do it? The Democrats are already backing tariffs and import bans on Chinese cars and solar panels.

This includes people who give everyone shit for not voting for the “lesser” corruption. Accomplices all.

Bingo.

That’s the trick. None of them have all of the pieces. We’re a social species. All of our efforts are collective. We use our combined brainpower to make these breakthroughs.
The first person crossing the line gets all the credit, because our society is obsessed with credit and patents. And then it freezes the advancements for the length of exclusivity, until we can all finally start working on it together again. It’s stupid and inefficient. We need to stop teaching these individualism myths.

No wonder the comments are weirdly positive. The mods delete anything even slightly critical. Is this community ran by paramount mods?

So they’re still chasing a general audience that isn’t interested, at the expense of an existing fanbase. Even though it’s been falling flat for at least a decade.
Y’all are nice for being apologetic & understanding for them, but if you want a new audience then you can make a new IP without all the baggage. Wrecking an existing IP doesn’t make sense.

Yes, most of the “top economists” are simply those who best regurgitate capitalist propaganda.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 4 weeks ago:
I have done my research. I’m positive I’ve read more theory than you, since you seem to think selling thinks makes you a capitalist. The education system failed you.

Oh spare me. We’re talking about people supporting white supremacy as “nuanced” policy.

And the Spotify ceo just stepped down so he could focus on weapons systems for Israel. The people running all of our media services are Nazis.
- Comment on Sage advice? 4 weeks ago:
Same, but because burning sage is cultural appropriation of a sacred indigenous belief. We burn rosemary or cinnamon.

A dead giveaway is when they start throwing around the word ‘nuance.’
It must be in the script they’re all taught, because every closet fascist or astroturfer loves defending fascist policies and actions with “nuance.”

Showing your ignorance again. Capitalism is not the existence of markets. It describes the concentration of wealth and control of resources to extract profit.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 4 weeks ago:
No, just people who swallow western propaganda without question.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 4 weeks ago:
Do you? The existence of markets does not make a country capitalist. Concentration of wealth and control of resources makes a country capitalist, and the party/people control the resources and profit allocation.

They’re literally executing billionaires.

How do you figure?

Use borg/borgmatic for your backups. Use rsync to send your differentials to your secondary & offsite backup storage.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 5 weeks ago:
People put shows and movies on YouTube already. You’re just not getting corporate backed media on there.
I’m not sure what role you believe capitalists have in creating media, but it’s clearly disproportionate.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 5 weeks ago:
You must be joking. The people who make any money producing online content are a very, very small minority.
And if people didn’t have to work 60 hour weeks to barely make enough to survive, we’d get a lot more creative content. All that would change is there wouldn’t be some talentless suit exploiting it.

We can do this, once we transition to socialism, and cut out the corporations. Run nodes on the community-owned fiber for free access to the citizens.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 5 weeks ago:
The same people who already make the media. Just cut out the corporate middle-men, who soak up all the profit and contribute nothing to the content.

A tax on corporate use of AI to fund an artist stipend, to provide a living wage for artists.
- Comment on How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything 5 weeks ago:
Do you have another system you can use? Maybe with a video card on it that can help with pre-transcoding files?
This is what I ended up doing on mine. Was a big hit to my electric bill to pre-transcode the entire library (only for files that needed it), but now everything serves up in a flash. And the script runs as a nightly cron to catch any new stuff.
If you have to, maybe just dedicate the system you have here to transcode certain problematic content. Other than finding another download in a different format, I’m not sure there’s anything else you can practically do.
- Comment on Watch first, then wipe: Some China’s restrooms put toilet paper behind paywall 1 month ago:
What is being advertised?
It’s not markets that make a country capitalist. It’s the concentration of the wealth from those markets. And China has been jailing/executing their billionaires.
