  Cool! Also, if you subscribe to Spotify, your money goes to building military AI war machines!

  Wh9 cares what Floridians think. They don’t even vaccinate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources to purchase mp3s?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bit of a stretch, but second-hand sales do influence the value of the CD and therefore increase its initial sale price (ie. CDs have extra value because they can be resold).

  So buying used does indirectly increase profits, though of course the lion’s share of that is likely not going to the artist anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources to purchase mp3s?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The artists don’t make money on CD sales?

  Who should be responsible for monitoring how children play, their parents or rhe government?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do deserve the right to whack off any time I want, and the government doesn’t deserve the right to tell me which sites I can visit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still figuring it out. But at the very least, my SO and I both have phones with the Immich app, and auto sync our photos folders to it, and we can both see all of the photos that have been synced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I was kinda kidding there. That Obama quote was from the before times, when everyone was sure no one was dumb enough to vote for Trump as president.

  The small dick one was during the 2024 campaign

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could say he’s still right, since 47 will go down as a tyrant or dictator.

  Also, this isn’t that speech. This is the one where Obama made the small penis joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Syncing to all of my household’s phones was one of my main requirements. So far its working, maybe its been recently updated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my mobile app, I can select a photo > edit > crop, and get rotate options there. Does that do what you’re looking for? I can’t confirm right now since I’m not home and haven’t exposed it beyond my home network yet, and haven’t tried it from the web interface. I agree though, as I continue to use it, rotating will be a common use case and I’d hope it handles it gracefully.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Brand new Immich user here. Love the project and I hope it goes far!

  Also maybe I’m not understanding, but the two complaints about it so far in this thread are not being able to sync photos to a phone and not being able to rotate photos and, I’m pretty sure I can do both?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Out of 10. Be specific!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  4/10, not for the unique tines but for the bulbous and tapered handle. Not as comfortable to hold and use as your standard fork.

  There was a PBS Spacetime video that entertained making the solar system into a spaceship - I think it was this one:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They exist. In some communities they may work but IMO a lot of times they hurt community engagement, since no one really wants to reply to an autogenerated OP or join a community that’s a wall of empty bot posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Memorize visually how far into a new minute marker the hand is when a new minute ticks over. So the moment it switches from 9:22 to 9:23, is the hand directly over the line, or maybe aligned on the left edge? Then use that as a mental model for future comparisons

  I do 1 dollar per drink at a bar and 20% for table service by wait staff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex server patching required⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn’t get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I’m getting rid of that anyway.

  Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it’s been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:

  • Smart collections & playlists
  • Skip intros and credits
  • Overall slick UI
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex server patching required⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still use Plex because I have a lifetime pass from many years ago and Jellyfin isn’t yet as feature-rich and accessible on all of my family’s devices.

  I expect to someday migrate fully to Jellyfin once Plex is enshittified to the point is being a worse experience, but that hasn’t happened yet (with the Plex pass anyway)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every desk in my work office is a standing desks. A handful of people use them, the rest don’t. And personally I believe that’s enough to justify buying them all.

  So even if youre right that a majority are unused, I disagree with the implication that they are a waste.
