Putting Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and making multiple users are both well supported features.

And wait until you hear about Jellyseer!

Smuggling pythons.

Is there anything valuable you can do with a linode vps that you can’t do with a Linux vm and a good router?

Haha same here. Huggies FTW.

As a teacher, I have to say I do get a lot of thank you’s. I get Christmas presents, gift cards, coffee, and hand written letters/cards. Sometimes my students reach out and/or visit me after they graduate. I feel quite valued and thanked. I live in Canada, if that makes a difference.

My wife who is a social worker spends her days slaving over people’s cases and is repeatedly harassed, and has been assaulted countless times. Now that is a thankless job.

Aside from possibly the N64 and GameCube, Nintendo has never tried to push technology in that way.

Is calling a subscription game free to play right? If that’s the case then Starfield (and thousands of others) is f2p because it’s on Xbox game pass.

I wonder what your insurance company would say about that.

Wow WtfEvenIsExistence, I am so lucky to have found you because I am scared that someone has my Apple ID. If I post my username and password here could you check it for me?

Totally. I recently had to have an IV in me for 6 hours and I have a severe needle phobia that often leads to panic attacks and fainting. This time I played chess puzzles for 6 hours and was totally lost in it.

Thanks for the well informed reasonable response to this.

It’s interesting to imagine a majority driverless road where vehicles communicate directly and emergency vehicles don’t have to rely on guidelines and stunned drivers/software.

That’s called free market capitalism.

A boycott is usually based on moral objections to a company, not financial. Obviously Sony has interest in making money — increasing prices of a video game subscription is not morally objectionable. Choosing to not purchase a product based on its market value vs perceived value is basic supply and demand.

If you were to not purchase a PS Plus subscription based on employee wages, or environmental impact of manufacturing, or something like that, then that would be a boycott. Objection to price is capitalism.

Not trying to argue that Sony is right to increase prices like that, just calling it what it is.

A service like paperlessNG pointed at an encrypted drive could work well.

I heard that Roku TVs (not the sticks) disable HDMI until you have connected to the internet and registered an account. I also heard that their TVs are way chattier and force more ads than their stick.

Ironic because the one device I would want to connect to its HDMI is a Roku stick.

I’m curious: why 2? Couldn’t say no to the OLED? Did one break?

And I’m sorry to say that I bought two Wiis and 0 Switches so we cancel each other out.

Correct: it is false that 100% of republicans are bad people.

Further to that point I find it bizarre that people identify so strongly with their vote. I think it is more common in America, but in Canada where I am from it is common to vote for one party provincially and another party federally. I regularly change my vote based on policy. As a side note, conservatism practiced by a good political party can be an incredibly powerful and good movement. Unfortunately I have not lived under good conservative leadership in my lifetime, nor during good conservative campaigning and as such have never voted for a conservative government. But that doesn’t make conservatism bad in my eyes and by golly I do not hate people because they vote differently than me. I have had thought provoking discussions though.

I think that people identifying themselves and others with a belief system or a social construct is the root cause of the problem we’re addressing. My friend does not need to invent a new religion because she is not transphobic. She loves Jesus Christ and is therefore a Christian. Just like a bigot can love Jesus and is also therefor a Christian. They are different people. This idea that if you identify a certain way that you somehow pledge allegiance to the socially perceived version of that thing and are somehow identical to everyone else in that group is so problematic, not to mention simple minded. The world is not black and white. It’s complicated and full of nuance.

FFS just talk to someone outside of your circle and you’ll realize you probably agree on most things. And if not, move on — or better yet let them attempt to change your mind, or read a book about it, maybe you’re wrong. Either way, hatred is not with the energy.

Yay! We converted another one.

I guess that’s my point. For example, someone close to me is deeply committed to Christ and is a genuinely good person. She left the Christian institution that she was a director of because of the bigoted and homophobic management. She started her own Christian space that is welcome to everyone and has spent the past year without salary creating a space for children to grow and feel welcome and loved (I’m leaving details out for anonymity).

If someone were to be rude to her because she identifies as Christian, under the assumption that she is transphobic or whatever, I would consider that person to be a fool.

I know my example is a rare one, but it’s important to realize that clumping all Christians together and making assumptions about them to the point where you are willing to be rude to them site unseen is textbook discrimination, which is the very thing you supposedly don’t like about Christians.

Judge a person on their actions, not their identity.

I dunno about that. I think almost all of big box churches and even medium sized churches teach that. I would guess that over 90% of Christians believe that nonsense. But I would argue that they are not actually practicing the teachings of Jesus. Jesus loved everybody — sex workers, diseased people, etc. if Jesus were alive today I wholeheartedly believe he would be among trans folks and accepting them for who they are. Ultimately LGBTQ+ folks are fighting for the right to love which is also what Jesus fought for.

The Bible does not tell a story of Jesus rejecting homosexual people or transgender people, and in fact tells a story of someone who would love everyone, including the ones most Christians hate. Full stop.

Church + religion != Christianity.

For what it’s worth I am a staunch atheist.
