  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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  I have Jellyfin running on a VPS. I used Swizzin Community Edition to set it all up. It is available online.

  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.

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US fab construction costs twice as much, takes twice as long as Taiwan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Free trade” means big countries dominating smaller ones. In what way can a small Caribbean nation compete with the US for example? Say they have a self sustaining economy. They have farms to feed their people, and textile mills to clothe them. Free trade opens their markets up, and they are quickly overwhelmed by the mega corps and their economies of scale. Now local industry is driven out of business or subsumed by foreign competitors. Maybe tourism? Multinationals buy up all the hotels, beaches and restaurants. Locals get minimum wage jobs serving and cleaning. Any attempt at “protectionism” incurs penalties under the free trade agreements.

  Just engage. Make sure you are fully committed to not being a creep, and play your part. Lots of youngsters want and need older role-models/mentors/whatever. As long as you are clear with maintaining and signaling your boundaries, it can be a really positive experience for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be the change you want to see in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s better to keep it simple for new users. Tell them it doesn’t matter which server since that is theoretically true in a general sense. No need to overwhelm them with all the asterisks. Once they start engaging, they’ll learn the nuances and can change instances.
