Hmm, not using finamp. I’m pretty happy with Synfonuim.

Cant speak to that aspect.

Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip is way better than Plex’s.

The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.

The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.

I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It’s way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.

The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.

Can’t speak to his method, but the jellyfin media sever has a YouTube plugin called Fintube that uses the above downloader to integrate YouTube content.

Email was invented in 1983.

It was revolutionary, the utter example of a “killer app” that had people and businesses running out to buy computers just to replace paper memos. You setup your mail server to hook into that brand new, stunning ecosystem of near instant communication from across the world.

Now there are 6,000,000,000 “killer” apps you can install in seconds from your pocket computer. I can hit “install” and be talking face to face with a stranger in Singapore in 30 seconds, all from easy, low effort walled gardens.

Federation was and is a reasonable way to host things, but comparing current systems to email is a misnomer. People dealt with federation because they had to. If gmail has existed in 1983, no one would have had their own federated email servers. Hell, AOL tried to choke the internet itself to death and almost succeeded in the early 90s because it was an “all in one” solution. They had aol only webpages and everything, including email. Its a twist of fate that they failed, mainly due to the onset of always on broadband, not because people didn’t want things easy.

Make things easy, people will use it. They will only do hard if they have to.

Titan Quest is an older aRPG with mythological god vibes. Same folks who did grim dawn.

A sequel is also in the works.

They could do it by not uploading any of the data, or if they do, uploading it encrypted with the only key being on the user’s device or a passcode.

Both are well established ways to secure data, but the company itself would not be able to interact with the data at all past storing it, so any features/revenue there would end.

“Free and open source software.” It’s an ethos that says that code should be free and open for people to use and improve as they see fit. The core of it is that if you modify any software that is FOSS, your software must also be FOSS. So overtime the software and what its used for improve, change, widen. Lucky for us, the movement has been ongoing for 50+ years, so it’s a mature ethos whose benefits are everywhere. Most of the internet runs on FOSS. Lemmy itself is FOSS.

It doesn’t necessarily mean an app is more private, but it does mean you can generally self host, as the commentor said. There isn’t a profit motive with most FOSS, at least not at its core, so there is little desire to data harvest generally. There is also a heavy overlap between FOSS advocates and privacy advocates, so they tend to be more privacy conscious via local data storage or encryption.

Yeah, that’s the easy answer in a car, and you get that maybe half the time.

Those are the correct signals in the US, but most drivers don’t know them.

Pointing with the arm nearest to the turn is very clear.

Yeah I just point with whatever arm is nearest the turn or merge.

No one acknowledges the actual correct signals at all. Pointing at least seems to work.

Nope, not how our system works. A federal ban would override state law.

The situation would at best mimic legal weed. The feds can 100% legally raid weed stores right now in the majority of states, but doing so is seen as pointless and would be politically unpopular.

The difference between weed stores and abortion clinics is that while both weed and abortion are popular, abortion is easier to villify and attack. They also don’t make anywhere near as much money as weed and require doctors to operate, so you have a much higher risk and much lower reward to fight the federal law on a local level.

He forgave 170 billion dollars, the largest amount by far any president has ever forgiven. It’s not even close.

He also tried to forgive 400billion, but the conservative supreme court Trump appointed the first time shot it down.

He still tried several other avenues, all that have been stopped by federal Trump appointed judges, and will clearly end now.

With manchin and semina voting no on pretty much every bill in 2020, and a divided congress in 2022, what the fuck else was he supposed to do?

Pre-prod is ideal, but a pipe dream for many. Lots of folks barely get prod.

We still stagger patching so things like this only wipe some of the critical infrastructure, but that still causes needless issues.

I’m glad they are going to take the DLC from the alpha state they released it in to an actual product people will want to buy.

They should have done that before they started selling it, especially for such a beloved franchise, but at least they are willing to go the cyberpunk route and actually fix the broken game they released.

They have still burned a lot of goodwill. I was planning on a day 1 purchase, but got caught up at work and ended up seeing the terrible reviews first, thank fuck. I sure won’t be buying this until it’s done, and I’ll wait on all future DLC too, if they happen.

Just so no one mistakes the above as hyperbolic, musk actually said this during an engineering meeting. His engineers kept telling him why Tesla needed the extra sensors, and he replied “people just have eyes and they can drive.”

Anytime someone tries to play him off an engineer or anything but a lucky gambler and flim flam man, just remember the above.

This is nonsense.

FPTP voting means there are 2 viable options only. If you don’t vote for the “lesser evil,” you are voting for the “greater evil.”

Choosing to not make a choice is still a choice. Voting for “not Harris” is the exact same thing as voting for “yes Trump” in our system.

You’re voting for the greater evil by voting for Jill Stein, which is exactly what her and her partners Putin and Trump want.

Coordinating directly with Putin, the oligarch dictator of Russia, who is currently engaged in a genocide in Ukraine, to elect Trump, a US presidential candidate that has told Israel it “needs to finish the job,” a person whose son in law has said gaza is “excellent beach front property,” and who hid the number of drone strikes and their casualties caused during his admin, is the lesser evil?

I’d call the above stupid, not its far to disingenuous to be an actual real perspective.

Well, start here at a dinner she attended in Moscow in late 2015:

Years later, after Trump was elected, she claimed it was just perfunctory, with no real interaction with Putin. She also claims she received no payment for being there, although we know Flynn received 45k from Putin for his attendance.

Then there is this from 2016 about Russian efforts to divert Clinton voters to stein. She also received intense press coverage by RT, Russians propaganda TV station, that was not banned in the US at the time.

Here she is refusing to call Putin a war criminal, a stance she suddenly recanted days later.

Here is evidence she is currently working with the GOP.

Tons of questions here, but sure I’ll give it a go.

Any autonomous or nearly autonomous hardware device would be taxed. Exceptions can apply. Maybe autonomous tractors are not taxed because food is needed, but unemployed farmers also need to be cared for.

As to the code question and m365, maybe, maybe not. It may be reasonable to tax all cloud automation as a whole, or maybe just all SaaS, leaving IaaS and PaaS out of it. Exceptions may apply.

The tax would be on the good or service forever, yes. If you displace human workers with automation, then thry need their basic needs met for human decency, but also so they don’t tear society to pieces, justifiably in my mind.

Incumbent companies using automation may have an advantage, but only until they use a new robot or new automation. That advantage goes away if they are stuck 5-10 yr behind to avoid a tax. If they want to keep avoiding it, newer companies using taxed but getting a huge productivity booster will surpass them. That will incentivise them to use the tax producing goods or services and remove any initial advantage.

I think I would also be okay with “no tax until you hit X automations” as well. You clearly can’t give tax breaks on employees, as not employing people will be the whole point of this, but you could likely work it out.
