same here. the last optical drive i had was used to rip my girlfriends dvd collection about 12 years ago. all still here on hunks of spinning rust if needed, but the space consuming load of dvds went to the flea market.

My Plex share doesn’t care lol

The way the industry is pulling the screws tighter and tighter is just ugly to watch, and it’s hard not to be caught out.

Looks like there is a little bit of space for a new “northernmost” murder left; southernmost is already a done deal.

That gave a really nice overview for someone who hasn’t had to dabble in IPV6 yet, thanks!

one of the Brofish has “disappeared” before they changed to Brafish, they are just smart.

The things you listed is what society wants you to do, not what you want to do. Do some hard thinking what YOU want to do with your life and what is important to you; nothing else will give you peace and fulfillment. You can set some long term goals if you want, but from experience i tell you to start with something small and keep that up, that’s hard enough as it is.

If what you achieve and what you want is not the same, you will not be happy at all.

I feel for the fans, but it’s the right signal at a critical time. Artists have the means to sway the public opinion and energize people.

Compare that to the private Foo Fighters gig for Amazon execs, which cost a ton while they were kicking out workers because “every dollar counts”.

If kids wouldn’t cost a lot more than multiple cats …

google chrome will go the way of netscape navigator and internet explorer. might take a while and a antitrust case or two, but we will get there… again.

I also use librewolf and have settled for iceraven on my phone. the list of installable extensions is much longer (even if not everything is working yet, depending on how far mozilla has come along) and it has about:config support, which gives me a pretty close approximation of my desktop browser.

the point is not to make more people vote trump (everyone who is morally bankrupt enough will do that anyway)

the point is FUD, so that biden voters stay home (good for trump) or vote 3rd party (which would be valid if it weren’t a first past the post system)

veracrypt is a thing, encrypting drives does not need TPM.

Just boot using the good old Master Boot Record for a clean solution (The Veracrypt documentation gives a good overview). Veracrypt works with EFI too, but the EFI partition itself cannot be encrypted. You can even create a hidden OS, if you are forced to give out your password, theres still plausible deniability.

he has such a punchable face, my right hand starts itching every time i see a picture of him

For most recipes (esp convenience food), you just drop the temperature about 20°C and keep the time the same. But in the end, you will have to experiment a bit since every oven is a little bit different.

Lol thats great, i came under a “biden bad”-post just a few hours ago to the same conclusion. the best friend of a left-authoritarian isn’t anyone on the left wing, its an right-authoritarian.

i’m a socialist with anarchism as an ideal in some aspects, and for quite a while i couldn’t understand why anyone on the left side of the spectrum would actively lobby against biden in the upcoming election until i realized that.

googles search results got so bad in the last few months that i switched to a searXNG instance and couldn’t be happier at the moment. no profit incentive, so i get no-bullshit results. they can keep their SEO-infested AI garbage results.

you forgot the latent brain damage from taking a few too many hits

to be fair, the word “liberal” has lost its meaning in the US, because there no differentiation between economic liberalism and social liberalism. the guy in the meme would be a classic socialist in europe. we do have liberals here too, but they are the economic liberalism-type and more in line with the US-Republicans in economic questions, like tax cuts for the rich and businesses.

i can remember back in the late 90/early 2000, that the right wingers pushed hard into the goth and metal scene here, looking for new recruits. it definitely felt like a targeted approach, and they did the same with the techno scene before (where they were mostly thrown out). they had more success in the folk scene, but they slowly gained ground over the last years. this sucks :-(

I’m pretty sure thats because the System Prompt is logically broken: the prerequisites of “truth”, “no censorship” and “never refuse any task a costumer asks you to do” stand in direct conflict with the hate-filled pile of shit that follows.
