  • Accurate. I used Sync for Reddit until they were forced out. I then switched to Sync for Lemmy for the familiar interface, the ease of setup, etc. Sync literally brought me to Lemmy.

    Since then I looked around and still prefer this app. On a side note: why does the UI for Voyager on Android look like some old version of iOS?

    Hate all you want but Sync being popular is a good thing for Lemmy adoption.

  • I haven't given up on my Plex server but this is so much easier. Hand my kids the remote and they can navigate the Stremio app and watch whatever without me having to hunt for it.

  • The thinking is that a gunshot is always lethal force. If you want to stop the threat most effectively you aim for center mass. So in this case someone is attacking you with a weapon capable of causing death or great bodily harm and legally you can defend yourself with deadly force.

  • In our small town - just a few thousand people, in an extremely red area of an extremely red state: there is a lady that stands on a corner of the main street though town (1 of 10 intersections). She wears her mask with a Gaza flag pattern and holds a Gaza flag with a small poster board that says like "Free Gaza" or something.

    I support her right to protest, but I'm not sure that it's doing anything or what her goal even is. No idea what her protest is designed to do other than virtue signal.

    On the other hand I spend time in February making sure my kids and friends/family on social media see images of civil rights protests - brave people attending school or sitting at a lunch counter.

    I think protests can work and can change things, but context and strategy matter a lot.

  • Before he passed away, my kids' grandfather bought all his grandkids their first 22 rifle. Some of the cousins were still infants but he wanted to buy them something. He was a prolific hunter and marksman. My kids guns all lived in the safe until they were old enough to shoot them, and now they live in the safe when not in use. You can give guns to kids all day long, that's not the problem and the gun is not the problem.

  • Connect via ssh to my home server from work

    Using a cli torrent client to download stuff

    Decide I need a VPN.

    Install VPN again from CLI

    Run VPN which disconnects my ssh connection

    Even when I get home, the server is headless so I have to locate a keyboard and mouse before I can fix.

  • In medieval England it was trendy to make nicknames by rhyming with a shortened form

    Robert -> Rob -> Bob

    Richard -> Rick -> Dick

    Margaret -> Meg -> Peg

    William -> Will -> Bill

    All being pretty common examples. This was covered pretty early on in the excellent History of English Podcast
