So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

Imagine thinking Jon Stewart of all people wouldn’t talk about certain political situations. Apple TV + looks like it won’t last long if all their content is pandering to Winnie.

“It’s not personal, but several spineless ass lickers want to impress a 4 time indicted, civilly liable rapist wannabe dictator, so we are holding the fate of your people to ransom”.

This seems kinda scummy. If someone breaks TOS then ban the one account. I’ve seen for years now people bringing up jellyfin, knew it was coming when I saw this headline. I never tried it because I have iOS devices and an Apple TV, but now I see there are 3rd party apps for jellyfin on iOS/tvos. I may try it out, move if it satisfies my needs.

Why ISPs need to be neutral. Musk was never elected or appoints be a general. Otis not his place to decide what strikes happen or not. The blood of the people those ships have attacked are now on his hands.

I still think Starlink can be a great service for rural areas, but it seems they need to improve their capabilities first. Which in a way makes a chicken-egg scenario. If they expand servers to handle all those people, they should be eligible for a grant, but they don’t wanna do it until they get the grant.

Wow, it’s almost like those free channels the put all over my Plex that nobody wants was was a bad investment. Still love Plex as a service but I find it hard to see any value in FAST.

Disclaimer: pretty new to Lemmy a federation (older than this account though).

From what I gather, defederation is supposed to be a function of this whole system, but intended to cut off whole instances that refuse to moderate or are active cesspools. In saying that, I don’t understand Beehaw cutting off two of the other biggest instances. I know they have a weird mentality over there of no downvotes and saw some odd conversations condemning someone’s political views while admitting to not know the person at all (dafuq?).

It seems to me it would make more sense to block a single community rather than the whole instance.

Maybe they want a walled garden, but as new people come in and want as much content as possible to show that this is a better venue than Reddit, to me they give off the wrong message.

Am I mistaken somehow? Anyone able to enlighten me?

What more can you need?

Having read this, I get what they’re going for, but also question the venue a bit.

With Lemmy being about federation, it sounds like they want to have a de federated mini Lemmy to themselves where they can decide who is allowed in or not. Not that that is a bad thing, if there’s a demand for it, but I think it’s different than what every other instance is about and maybe would be better as something like a Discord server (or FOSS alternative).

Again just my 2c, I just know I’m looking for a better quality alternative to Reddit, and an isolated instance isn’t my cup of tea.

I have never heard anyone say “Grandpa Google”. I have heard more people say “Bing it” than someone that didn’t use “Google” to mean search.

It’s a shame how poorly that protest was planned. It should have been indefinite from the start, not 2 days, and moderators should have held out longer, instead of folding when Reddit said they would lose their power.

I got a $600 projector and have about 90 inch display ( can hit 120 if my apartment was bigger). No need to go to a cinema, overpay for drinks and snacks, and I can pause and pee whenever I want.

Short Reddit on IPO. Give him a good farewell.

Reminds me of the welcome video for Mac OS X Snow leopard

Gonna try this. Know anything similar for mobile (iOS) or Apple TV?

Fair point. But I will say as a pretty new comer to Lemmy, it is hard to find an instance that you know will be a good fit.

Been using proton for torrenting and other use, it’s been great. Connect to Switzerland from USA with good speed and security. I use them for email so I got a good package deal.

Watched this last night and it came to mind immediately.

I use Apple TV, something about needing a third party proprietary app makes it seem cobbled together compared to Plex, especially with that app being freemium. Maybe someday they will have a dedicated app. Last time I looked (probably a year ago) they didn’t have a system for ratings to make a kids account, has that been added?

Gonna admit my ignorance, I’m not sure exactly what is and using possible with an IPO. I know it can go poorly, and I know stocks can be shorted. I just hope they get no financial success.

When you get divorced, you make decisions 😂

Yeah, I already have premium to support creators I like to watch because I hat ads. Twitter can just fuck itself, never used it much at all. For Reddit I would have paid for Apollo annually if that was what was required to keep it going, but it’s apparent that making people pay a fair share wasn’t the goal.

Use Signal to talk to my gf. Had her get it so we didn’t have to use some shit like SMS or Snapchat, since I’m on iPhone and she’s on android. Had a couple of issues with messages not going through but since she upgraded her old phone it’s been fine.

I set up a vm for torrents so I could seed as much as possible without affecting other things I had to do. I have been seeding for 100 days minimum per torrent. Nothing worse than a torrent with no seeds.

😂

Not to be too obvious, but have you tried different servers?

Nothing, but all other instances would still exist. While it would suck, you can just make a quick hop to a new instance (or host your own if you’re worried about who runs things) and you’re back up and running.

The only thing that had me back on Reddit was searching for something on DDG and getting 99% Reddit results. I see why they are un-deleting people's comments and posts when they close their accounts. Hopefully other forums take those spots.

Is something like Heroic launcher required now to play the Epic version of Rocket League? I have it on Steam and get 144FPS at 1440p, mixed settings between performance and quality.

Best beans ever. US beans are horrible. I pay $4 a can for these glorious beans.

That would be better than any FAST I’ve seen.

Reddit comment: “Well actually…” straightens fedora

Pockets would make my gf so happy.

I meant dodgy stuff from downloading software. Damn autocorrect.

Compared to if something like Reddit were to be deleted, nothing would exist.

Yes, at lest they did, not sure if that’s changing now.

That is fair, just odd to banish all mention of FOSS or federated services. If it is what they are doing, they don't want people getting that kind of mindset I suppose.

I'm more of a dog person, but I suppose that is missing.
