Remember when the Nazis surrendered because of all the witty placards people marched with?

They should just shut it down rather than comply with laws which punish antipathy to a genocidal state.

Well described. I had this feeling for like 40 years before I really understood that it wasn’t like a personal failing. Treating it now, and wish I had done so sooner.

How can you have a problem with Cowbee? They are the most well-read and patient poster that I see on Lemmy. I can understand disagreeing, but saying Cowbee is “pushing shit” isn’t accurate.

Right wingers don’t stop with immigrants. “Love it or leave it” applies to everyone as far as they’re concerned.

- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 months ago:
I’ve got to admit that I’ve never used Plex (I’m a cantankerous open software fanatic), but how do you get your media on there? You’re hosting your own server so presumably you’re downloading the media somehow. Are you doing it manually? If so, you can do the same with Jellyfin. Is it automated with some tool built into Plex?
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 months ago:
I’m only sharing access with a few friends and family, so I don’t find it cumbersome. Usually I make their account using the Jellyfin app on my phone. I do sympathize with not wanting to do support, which is the main reason I don’t even ask for help with the hosting costs. I don’t want to feel any obligation.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 months ago:
I’m surprised by the resistance to Jellyfin in this thread. If you are using Plex, you’re already savvy enough to use bittorrent and probably the *arrs. If you can configure that stuff, Jellyfin is absolutely something you can handle. If you like Docker, there’s good projects out there. If you’re like me and you don’t understand Docker, use Swizzin community edition. If you can install Ubuntu or Debian, and run the Swizzin script, you’re in business.

Uh, my parents are over 80, and I have jellyfin set up on their firestick. They have no problem using it. It’s just an app they open like anything else.
- Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 2 months ago:
I have Jellyfin running on a VPS. I used Swizzin Community Edition to set it all up. It is available online.

- Comment on Fucking leeches 3 months ago:
This is tough, because even though you are charging your tenants the exact amount of your minimum mortgage payment, you are still earning equity in an appreciating asset-- eventually you will be able to turn their rent payments into profits. Now, in my opinion, your level of exploitation is very low, and barely worth considering at all.

- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 3 months ago:
Most of us have hands. This is just a sex toy. The novelty of it being shaped like a whole-ass woman will soon wear off and turn into the same self loathing.
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 3 months ago:
Maybe some men like the idea, but I bet most of them would soon find the experience less fulfilling than they had hoped.
- Comment on US fab construction costs twice as much, takes twice as long as Taiwan 3 months ago:
I’m saying Taiwan was able to develop its niche due to its strategic (geographic) interest to the US, not the other way around. China has raised millions out of poverty via cheap labor, yes. However, the reason is that its size allows it to maintain ownership of the profits, which are reinvested in China.
- Comment on US fab construction costs twice as much, takes twice as long as Taiwan 3 months ago:
There are exceptions of course, but they are often less about “finding a niche”, and more about politics. Taiwan is an important client state of the US for geopolitical strategy. Such relationships can include more favorable trade deals. I don’t know much about Singapore except that that it’s all about the finance “industry”. Seems like it’s the place where Eastern and Western billionaires can make financial transactions with each other.
