Good choice for privacy, not so much for piracy. They removed their port forwarding feature a while ago.

Yeah, the modern internet is sadly pretty cooked. We are well and truly past the golden age.

Try Ifixit next time. If it runs on electricity, there’s a good chance that they have taken it apart and documented how to repair it.

I hate that Discord is being used as a forum replacement because it’s fucking terrible for it. There’s pretty much no way to collate and archive information in a way that is actually useful.

Lemmy is a lot of different Reddits under a lot of different managements.

This is why I’m making more effort to move to Lemmy permanently. The thing is that they’re also refusing to say what exactly will get you banned, and that they can and probably will change the criteria pretty much when they feel like it. This is the kind of shit abusive partners do. They cannot expect anyone to be able to follow a rule that they refuse to define. Personally, I don’t think that’s an accident. It feels more like they’re laying the groundwork to be able to censor whoever they like, most likely at the behest of the current US administration.

Honestly if it keeps the brainrot addicts who can’t sit through a movie without scrolling through Minecraft parkour videos in one place so I can go and watch them without bright screens in thr dark microwaving my eyeballs, I’m all for it.

The cars I can generally excuse. Most people bought them before the true craziness of Musk was known and I’m not going to expect anyone to buy a new car because of the politics of the CEO, that’s crazy.

Cybertrucks though? Nah, fuck you if you bought of of those low poly-ass shitboxes. You knew what he was when you placed that order.

Liquidate Musk, in a blender, in Minecraft.

Petty and small minded. Sums up Trump’s administration perfectly.

Please be careful. I would not put it past the US government to have kept a record of that change.

Generating content with AI to throw off crawlers. I dread to think of the resources we’re wasting on this utter insanity now, but hey who the fuck cares as long as the line keeps going up for these leeches.

It’s happening, slowly but surely. UK issued one today.

Can’t say I have a huge issue with this - Plex isn’t FOSS and the infrastructure to make this happen isn’t free. Other options are available if you don’t want to pay the fee.

There is nothing wrong with it other than it makes me feel ancient and I don’t like it.

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion here but telling people who have used Windows their entire lives to just switch to Linux as if it’s that easy is entirely unhelpful and makes the Linux community look elitist and out of touch.
