Agreed, but I have a feeling I'll be using Jellyfin in a few years.

I despise the liberals that voted for Hillary/Biden during the primaries more than the right just doing what conservatives always do. I never expected anything other than the current hate and ignorance from the right - but to see so many people who claimed to be on the left fall in line behind whoever the DNC/media coronated, and talking about Bernie like he was unrealistic or crazy, killed whatever hope I had for this country.
"I enjoy your boobs."
"As far as you are concerned"
Correction: "as far as anyone else is concerned."
Consciousness IS continuity. If you are disentigrated and a perfect clone pops up somewhere to replace you... you died. Your current stream of consciousness ended and a perfect copy replaced you.
As far as all external observers are concerned it's still you. But from your own perspective? Well you won't have one anymore, you'll be dead.
That's a high quality gif
Ranked voting should really be at the top of our priority list. Would allow more than 2 parties to be viable and give progressives a real chance to distinguish themselves from the neolibs.
It's been satisfying watching my configuration.yaml file shrink over the years as more and more things get handled by the UI.
No shit it's not private. This is the digital equivalent of shouting on a soapbox in public and then getting pissed if someone records or remembers it.
Well played buddy.
I tried to find a server that isn't blocking anyone, and hasn't been defederated by any of the big servers.
I want to avoid an echo-chamber and have access to everything on the fediverse, including stuff I find distateful. If anything really bothers me I will block the community/instance myself, I don't want others making that choice for me.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of folks out there just searching for an excuse to clutch their pearls, rile up a mob, and defederate anything and everything that offends them.
I don't want to circlejerk in a safe space echo chamber, I want to see both the yin and the yang of humanity. I want that wild west feeling of the internet of old
The fact that a clone would be seamlessly picking up my stream of consciousness after I die would be little consolation to me.
Sleep may be similar from a philosophical or external point of view. But I'm not sold that lack consciousness during sleep is in the same league as completely destroying, and then, rebuilding it.
No difference for the rest of the universe, but the difference between life and death to my current stream of consciousness.
Imagine if the teleporter malfunctioned and created the duplicate on the other end but failed to disentigeate you. A worker notices you're still in the machine and says, "oops sorry, had a malfunction on this end. Give us a minute to fix the issue and we'll destroy you. No worries though, 'you' made it out the other end."
Wouldn't you do everything in your power to get out of that machine before they could fix it and kill you?
I'm not convinced they're at all the same. Consciousness may go dormant during sleep, and you may not remember it, but it's still a continuous, uninterrupted, stream of electricity.
This kind of teleportation would completely snuff out that fire and replace it with an identical one at another location. It's not the same as sleep.
The Americans that would flee a Trump administration aren't the ones destroying the planet and acting like spoiled children.
I'm using Matrix with Coturn integration for voice. Works great. There's an addon for video too but I don't use that so never added it.
As far as I know Matrix is the best FOSS alternative to Discord right now. Maybe try using the coturn addon for voice instead of Jitsi. I've been able to share audio snippets just fine this way.
If we had had that attitude when fascism was on the rise in Europe we would never have gotten Einstein or Tesla or half of our best and brightest.
We became so much better by taking in anti-facist refugees in the past, it's funny and sad to see these edgy comments when the situation is reversed. I'm proud we weren't so stupid in our history, we benefited greatly from taking them.
I literally do not see this boost button anywhere. I just spent 2 minutes mousing over every button around your comment and I cannot find it.
Lol. Opportunity to be on the other side of the brain drain effect but refuse it. Fine, some other continent will reap the benefits of a bunch of smart expats.
The day I hear complaints about the lack of men in primary education and the lack of women I coal mining, then I'll give a shit about the lack of women in tech. I don't understand why society is deciding tech is sexist but the others are just natural preference.
With Home Assistant and locally controlled devices there's no issues whatsoever. Completely locally controlled and solid as a rock ime.
