The US is, as a matter of fact, and never has been, a democracy. It has always been a representative republic. Direct democracy as your comment envisions it is very difficult to implement and results in mob rule. If this is something you strongly believe should be stopped, get in touch with your federal senator and congressional representative to make your views known. Call, email, write paper letters, and encourage others to do the same. Make it clear that they won’t be reelected if they allow this to continue. We don’t have lobbying money, but it’s hard to keep taking bribes if they no longer have a position with which to provide a return on that investment.

Yep, DLP still uses a mechanical color wheel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_light_processing?wprov=sfla1

I feel like in this case it’s more like everyone gets sold i9 hardware, but can choose to pay the i3 price for it with locked out features, then decide later to pay the subscription to unlock the i7 or i9 performance. It has advantages for the manufacturer in that there are fewer options to account for at build time and additional revenue later on. I still think it’s a terrible model that should be summarily rejected by customers, but I see why they are trying it.

They chose to comply with the request and become one of the browsers Putin can control. Not sure how Mozilla gets credit for anything good here.

So like most Authoritarians then? They’re all for it until their side isn’t in charge anymore.

The problem is that it’s not shoved in the router, that’s why you have to agree to send them your data. Those features run on someone else’s computer instead of in the router itself.

Yes, the individual words have meanings, as words tend to do. Those words, in that order, form a NCIS, two people typing on the same keyboard, level word salad that has so little real world relevance that it tips soundly into the absurd.

This is how we found anything on reddit for most of its useful life. Its search was always garbage so we relied on Google to come up with usable results.

There’s that word again. “Heavy.” Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?

I use it. It’s just as easy to set up and run as the other two, whether you use the tarball install, repo packages, or docker. While you’re at it, look into Prowlarr also to manage your indexers and download clients so you don’t have to make changes on all 3 manually. Then maybe look into Ombi to manage download requests. I like Overseer better, but it doesn’t support music yet, unless something changed recently. The biggest hurdle is that in contrast to the TV and Movie categories, the file naming conventions for music downloads are not nearly as well standardized and enforced. Lidarr does a great job of shifting through and finding what it can, but I still get a lot more releases that require manual importing than with Sonarr or Radarr. Maybe I just need to tune the filters better. Discovery isn’t really something Lidarr does yet, although there may be some forks working on adding it. Last.fm or listbtainz can help with that, or there are a bunch of self hosted media trackers that have recommendations built in.

I’m still on the fence on this. I feel like they should federate fully instead of only one way, but I’m trying to understand the threat from Threads. I know it’s probably been done to death, but do you have a link or thorough explanation of why bringing more users and content to the fediverse is harmful?

Armed work ate my home dog.
