One of my favorite skits for that: https://youtu.be/7MFtl2XXnUc?si=i6He7wklxdSt8gpn

Yeah this is very much not that they don’t understand there’s a better way. It’s that they don’t care to look up how. It’s pretty common. People just go oh I don’t know computers and you get whatever random crap they could throw together with zero effort lol.

I opted weekly so I could store longer time periods. If I want to go a month back I just need 4 instead of 30. At least that was the main Idea. I’ve definitely realized I fucked something up weeks ago without noticing before lol.

I have weekly backups of my VMs in Proxmox. Fuck it lol.

This is the answer. Pretty much every ISP blocks 80 They say it is because worms use it blah blah but it is exactly what you think. They don’t want you running a web server. You’re probably going to have to do the DNS challenge instead.

Not to mention inequality isn’t some new thing that’s happening now. It’s been happening for decades. It’s not good but that doesn’t mean the economy isn’t doing well by the usual standards. We still need to do something about how shitty things are on that front but if we’re trying to compare how the economy is doing compared to previous years, it’s doing well.

The reason it feels bad imo is because money isn’t free anymore so a lot of tech companies are laying people off. Also inflation wiped away many gains we all made with our salaries. We’re doing better now, information stopped going out of control, but we’re left with the shitty high prices that came with it and they aren’t going down (because most of them are due to corporate greed, not real circumstances and costs).

Pocketcasts fixed that a while ago. You can set the sorting of episodes for each podcast and then it plays in that order.

I cancelled. It’s just that I’m a small minority of people. The number that cancelled was apparently less than the people who signed up for their own account. Oh well. Netflix wasn’t that good anymore anyway. I barely used that app. Disney Plus however I’m not going to cancel. That one is worth it to me.

The Klingon empire is corrupt as fuck all throughout DS9 so maybe they are closer than you think lol.

Yeah I use the Steelseries sonar stuff because that makes it so that inputs never change. When my headset turns off it redirects the output to my speakers and when I turn the headset back on, it goes back to it. Virtual audio devices are very nice in general lol.

I either claim the digital copy with the disc or I just pirate a copy because it’s less hassle than ripping lol.

And that’s surely why it was originally called Phoenix!

I honestly have no idea what this guy is talking about. I use dev tools in Firefox all the time and they’re pretty much the same as Chrome.

There’s a main road between my parents’ house and the freeway that doesn’t deviate AT ALL and it tells me blah miles to this spot and then just continue straight. It makes no fucking sense. I still don’t think they’re paying for an ad. I have no love for Google but this seems a little much imo. There’s no point to it.

It does that because it thinks there’s a bend in the road or some silly shit. Mine tells me to turn after the Taco Bell into a place because the turn in isn’t a named road. I don’t think it’s trying to advertise to me. That’s just where the turn is.

I have an option when it uses it’s internal browser to open in another browser. Sometimes it does that even though I’ve set it so l to use an external browser. But you should still be able to hit options in that internal browser and open in your default.

All I’m aware of is the don’t recommend channel option. I still get stupid fucking channels (like emergency awesome) when I search. Am I missing the option somewhere?

Have you used Plex before? No they don’t need to know anything. They sign up and you grant them access (or even just give them a user in your home and they just sign in by texting you a code). It is as easy or easier than signing into your typical streaming app. Just extremely easy. Jellyfin is great and I hope they keep going but they’re not at the same level as Plex. I’ve been using Plex for nearly a decade now and I’ve tried out jellyfin a few times. I’ll keep trying because I don’t want to use Plex forever but I’m not going to pretend they’re the same. Hopefully they will be eventually.

I feel like it’s pretty obvious this was a greedy and terrible idea. The fact they proposed this at all alone is enough to never trust them again. It’s not that they didn’t know. They knew. No one would be okay with this cash grab and they know it. They just didn’t realize HOW big the pushback was going to be but they DID know what they were doing was wrong.

Does it really matter when you put a case on it anyway? I’d prefer plastic. Glass is stupid and breakable. We shouldn’t be trying to put MORE of it on phones.
