I gave up Reddit after the great API fiasco. Once in a while I check out Bluesky, about the same frequency as I look at Mastodon. But about 98% of my social media time is spent on Lemmy.

I think it's a fairly old photo. It also says "future US Green Party presidential candidate" next to Stein, after she's already run as their candidates at this point 2 or 3 times. Just goes to show how far back these connections go.

I've heard her fans claim she didn't know she would be sitting with Putin for this dinner and ask what was she supposed to do, like she was a powerless victim.

I don't know, maybe she should have fucking got up and left the room!

The bombing actually makes the chances of regime change even harder. There's nothing like being attacked by a foreign adversary to galvanize support for an authoritarian regime.

Relevant image:

Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.

Cybertruck drivers.

ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn't care (or still fanboi'd over him).

And then trying to deflect the blame and focus onto an immigrant. Typical indeed.

Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.

I thought her constantly puffy face was due to Botox. My apologies Ms Noem if it was actually due to allergies. Next question is: what is she allergic to? Pollen? Dead dog fur? Ethics? Empathy? Morality?

Showing my age here, but the first time I remember using the web was in the mid-90s when there were only a girl's of hundred web sites. Almost all of them were universities. But I remember going to playboy.com as a joke and being amazed that there's was actually a website for it. There was also a pizzahut.com website that pointed to a specific restaurant in San Jose CA.

Dating someone with opposing views is the easier of two situations people can find themselves in.

The harder situation is when you date and marry someone with similar views to yours, but then 5, 10, 15, etc years into the marriage they get radicalized by family members or YouTube. And suddenly their opinions change overnight and you are legally bound to an angry, hostile stranger.

Awesome, thanks for the tips!

I started down the Jellyfin path after they made that announcement. It's super easy to install, and in many ways the UI is nicer than Plex. But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN. And I haven't had the time to look into that further.

Would be great if there was a clean, easy way to set up the webserver portion so it's as easy to share content entirely as Plex. But I get they are a volunteer project with a lot on their plate.

Well, it makes most of us happier. There was a minority of people who were very unhappy about remote working and who were eager for everyone to be forced back into the office. Not me, but there were some people.

Was that the video where one of the peacekeepers pulls the backpack away from the person and starts shouting about how he has a rifle, and then cops descend on the guy with the rifle?

If so, that might have been them later detaining the peacekeeper who shot the guy who ran into the crowd (the same peacekeeper who accidentally shot the Samoan bystander)?

Or maybe not. This whole situation is very confusing.

Edit: Or more likely, the guy with the rifle who was called out and detailed by cops wasn't the volunteer but instead was the guy who initially ran at the crowd. Either way, it's still a confusing situation.

Good news good Signal.

What a legend.

I think they are referring to the Democrats.

No, not really. Not for my own pleasure anyway. When I'm not working, helping my wife out keeping the house tidy and raising our kids, doing misc planning for the family, budgeting, and trying to just relax, I'm too tired to play games.

The only games I play are games with my kids, and even though it creates some fond memories, it kind of kills my enthusiasm for gaming in general. It's sort of like when your job is your hobby, usually the shine of that hobby wears off and it largely becomes a grind.

I'm actually surprised they apologized. I'd have expected them to threaten the family and charge them for their time.
