Okay but FR wtf is usenet. I’ve never known, and I’m old enough to be able to say that I should

Omg patent that giant Kite design quick, you’ll make a killing!

HAIL, MY BOOST BRETHREN!

Yeah I used boost, paid for premium and used it for years. Will be more than happy to do so again once it’s out but I’m not into this subscribing to an app bullshit. Let me pay for it outright. I am not down to rent apps any more than I am okay with renting the phone it runs on.

$16 a year is not nothing, it’s a subscription service for a basic mobile app with quality options in a competing space. A one time purchase that means I own the app outright or a lifetime “subscription” option is a much better option, and on par with literally every competing app in the space. Mentalities like this are why shit like NBA 2K, Call of Duty, and Diablo have become lootbox fests.

I’m using Sync right now and honestly it’s not much better than thunder or Connect which are free. The UI is slicker, but I feel my phone heating as it runs, and it’s obnoxious seeing the gray boxes from the ads I’m blocking. Really hope boost doesn’t pull this shit, or at least allows people to play for premium instead of fucking subscribing to it. $16 a YEAR for an app that just mobilizes a free online service is insanity.

I never used sync previously, but this has made a pretty bad first impression so far.

This article is dumb. It grasps at straws and seems to completely overlook the fact that union contracts have to be voted on by their members. If the tank and file aren’t happy with this deal, it won’t pass.

“Only an 18%” raise over four years is 4.5% per year. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t keep up with inflation, that’s still a hell of a guarantee. Very few raises are keeping up with inflation, mine included.

It also complains about $23 for part timers and seems to suggest it’s not enough to make ends meet…of course it isn’t. It’s a part time job. $23 is $8 above minimum wage, like what is this trash?

I don’t think the commenter is saying/said Elon isn’t successful. What the commenter is saying is that Elon is successful at funding other people ideas and then taking credit for them as his own. Essentially, it would be like the producer of a small movie that becomes a huge hit taking credit for the entire movie despite having very little to do with it. Didn’t write it, didn’t direct it, didn’t cast it, didn’t market it, etc etc etc.

The flip side is along the lines of what you are saying. That movie may have gotten made without that producer, and may have been just as big a hit without them ever touching it…but we’ll never know because that producer recognized the potential and funded it and is now permanently tied to it. And, because they produced it, they made a shit load of money as well. You can’t say that producer isn’t a successful one, even if they also somehow deluded themselves into think they are the world’s best director, writer, casting director etc at the same time.

I like how yesterday everyone was like “wow what braindead timing, what are they even thinking” and today it’s people posting non-stop r/place updates.

Their goal is to get people to use their shitty platform and get ads into eyeballs. Congratulations, you all fell for it.

Question - is there a way to make my Plex library always available without having my desktop running non-stop? My Plex downloads live on an M2 on my desktop currently. Second question - I can only access my Plex files from my local network but most people seem to use it from anywhere. What am I doing wrong, or do you need premium for that feature?

Can you not change your all icons on iPhone to anything you want like you can on Android? That fuckin sucks fam.

Reddit Premium costs $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year. However, for users subscribing through the iOS app, the subscription is more expensive – $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year.

LMAO they killed third party apps to force you to use their garbage app, then charge extra for something if you buy it in said garbage app. What in the actual fuck.

And yet they won’t be.

All due respect to my fellow lemmings, but the ones in these comments are vastly over complicating this. It’s extremely simple - you give that info away, and you do it happily. Here’s an extremely simple example of every single one of your questions:

Financial

• you explore job postings on linked in. You upload your resume to Google drive. You say where you work/what you do on your social media. Your bank statements get emailed. You check your credit through an email reminder.

political

You subscribe to websites with particular political leanings. The content you engage with on social media falls in certain political camps. You interact primarily with people that also have those leanings. You block or avoid content that is not to your politcal liking. Every like and subscribe is your personality and political affiliation.

health

You searched “symptoms of (insert thing here).” You ordered a next brace on Amazon. Your doctor sends your invoice to your Gmail account. Cvs emails you your receipts.

religion

See politics.

browsing info

Google literally sells everything you do. It’s their business model. Every time you’re signed in with Google it’s tracking what you do. Every email you receive. Everything you click on. Every item you purchase. Every review you fill out. Google sells it all, and you’d be amazed how fast they do it. Fun experiment, go buy something - jeans, a shirt, shoes, drums, and guitar, whatever from a new place you haven’t shopped before. Go buy it and have the invoice go to your Gmail account. Then get on Instagram…time how long or far you scroll before you see an ad for a similar product. Perhaps even a brand you comparison shopped.

You tell it all these things. Whether you realize you’re doing it or not, you tell it everything it wants to know just by using your phone. Google sells it, instametathreads buys it, learns more, and then sells what it learns back to Google and advertisers. Rinse, repeat.

Click bait works, unfortunately.

My wife has that same coffee pot and LOVES IT. So much so that when she moved away from her dad’s, they got in a (friendly) fight over it because she wanted it but it’s actually his, and she ultimately caved and bought her own. So now we have one too!

Meanwhile I have a way weirder problem where I’m seeing posts that are 1-2 years old while filtering by new or active. Makes no sense!

I haven’t run Linux in ages (2012 maybe?) But I’m about ready to give it another look. I use windows on my machine less and less frequently, and it seems like it’s never been easier to switch to something less “taking all the control away from the user” focused.

Seriously. There are communities for fetishes I didn’t even know existed over there. Sorting by local can be a WILD fuckin ride.

Same bro (or broette). I still have my account, and I have logged in twice this month, and no times since the blackouts. I will go back occasionally, probably more when football/hockey seasons start. But what I learned in all this was there are other communities where friendlier discussion happens. Where disagreements don’t come with insults, and I can feel less like a number. I’m cool with that.

Not trolling at all, genuine question…what is jellyfin?
