Abbiistabbii reminding us that the things the governments tell us about anti-state movements (like the idea that without their government there is no law or morals) aren't exactly true, they're only a biased perspective from those scared of losing power over the public. Fwiw I don't think any group is 'bad' just because they got together and separated from state control, I think it's great that can still happen.

For future reference you can also mention me for finding images cleaned of censoring or higher resolutions! And this is full res (from ASliceOfAlan on Facebook):

Missing the gloves, but still

Tbf this is the only way to get shit done, I love that LKY actually did this

It's fucking wild how quickly the media work to water down the impact of things that make Western governments a lot of quick money. Like overusing 'genocide' to stop people talking about the annihilation of Palestine, they're using articles worded like this to distract from the actual data centres.

I'm in the middle of perfecting a guide for one type of Matrix server, based on my own experience (Proxmox LXC, Continuwuity, token based registration), will update this with a link (placeholder comment)

Same, Koda

It has centralised features like proprietary user sharing (which is neat but still), arbitrary limits like device limits, the ability to transcode using your server's hardware, and other stuff that Emby/Jellyfin users have as standard. So we generally see the restrictions as taking power and ownership away from our own media/hardware.

And any cool premium Plex features like merging multiple servers into one UI get adopted and ported into Emby/Jellyfin pretty damn quickly

Assholes are employed in a wide range of jobs, including editing/composing newsletters at GoG, and apparently we'd be breaking our own rules on discrimination if we as employers were to use the common traits of bigots as reason for rejecting applications. So the best they can do is internally scold the twat and externally control the damage.

And the reason I'm taking a reasonable stance is because if we were to lynch and boycott every supplier for events we don't like, we wouldn't have a single supplier of games outside of 'direct contact for a person who also peddles used media' - and that contact had better be a street address written using a ecofriendly, ethical-brand pencil and parchment, grown and produced in the neighbourhood. Because the only way to be completely clean of problematic companies, barring not getting any games because they had to be internationally produced and distributed, is to not use any distribution platform, transport courier, electronic device of any kind etc.

Apparently Ben Graham, the one who tweeted this, is a Reform supporter so, obviously not a valid voice

Jellyfin is quite easy to use remotely (prerequisite: purchased domain (easy), tunnel VPN (complex) or public static IP (not always an option)). I confess I use Emby as I bought premium for it once I learned how much it suits me, and the UI is much nicer and rounded -- although I didn't need to pay in order to do most of what I wanted. I can say that my friends access the library with a one time login and minimal friction, but I'm also not going to preach further - sometimes it's better not to fuck with a working system, and I respect your choice

English and vocal against the state's mistakes

There are high quality community-powered, pay-nothing-to-the-distribution-corpo options like torrenting movies (pirating is making a copy, not taking a copy), but I respect the move. Staying up to date isn't that important and it's not always worth your time anyway.

A burglar doesn't intend to fuck up your whole life and/or extinguish it. I prefer the burglar over the cop.

Work on destabilising the Western governments by investing in local political extremist organisations, paying someone to remove terrorist status from Palestine Action, and giving a fuckton of money to trans and gender non-conforming healthcare charities that won't be influential enough. I'd buy myself majority spots on committees, starting with ones whose decisions control the spending allocation of healthcare in my country, because that allows me to focus charity money into places I choose.

As much as I hate Reddit this is just continuation of the UK government steamrolling and destroying the free Internet, ruining the adult experience.

One of the wonders of the Internet was that it was wildly unregulated - if you wanted it and you could disable safesearch you could get it, with the caveat of ISP-enforced content locks on all mobile data subscriptions under the name of a legal child (under 18), workplace and school security and filters, unremovable Safesearch on most search engines etc. Broadband required an adult, who in turn could activate parental controls. I couldnt wait until I turned 18 so I could finally access many sites for porn, news, gaming, forums and anything containing keywords without being blocked. I had a list of proxies for bypassing school filters.

In short there is significant existing protection in place and we know that this is simply more evidence of Orwellian enforcement.

Holy shit, and here I thought organized trans crime conspiracies were exclusively American Republican. Why does everything stupid or regressive that comes out of the USA get parroted over here.

quick note, if anyone wants kitkats at a super low price hmu

That would elicit from me a reactive "kill yourself" and a lengthy period of awkwardness later

Friendly reminder that OpenAI is not open source - despite its name it's simply another pos run by our esteemed techbros Altman and Musk
