  • Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don't know if it's fair to say they are holding anything hostage.

  • Big fan of low tech magazine!

  • If you're using HAOS (ie not running in docker), there is an official add-on called "File Editor" that allows you to edit the config.yaml and upload files from the UI. It's not perfect but gets the job done.

  • I think it's silly to get caught up in definitions too. Cory Doctorow calls the bottom panel "techno feudalism" and I think that's pretty good.

  • This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It's really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn't get bogged down with technical details.

  • I said this elsewhere too, but the bottom panel depicts something other than capitalism, since capitalism definitionally requires a competitive market.

    Companies that are ostensibly in competition but not fighting each other too hard, is just another way of saying they are not in competition. It's not capitalism.

  • We DO have very explicit laws against it, they have just sat unenforced since the 80's (except for a few brief years in the 2020s).

  • I don't want to defend capitalism, but the bottom panel depicts activity that is technically very illegal in the US (but antritrust laws have not been enforced by the FTC since the 1980s, barring a few short years in 2020s under Lina Khan).

    Capitalism definitionally requires competition, without it you have... something even worse.

  • Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.

    hi it's me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it's children like you that keep the christmas magic alive

  • Not gonna jump on a Kickstarter but I like the idea behind this. Does anyone have experience with these automatic brake lights? They don't seem like the best idea to me but I'm open to being convinced.

  • Exactly, otherwise it's just, well, scrolling.

  • meh

  • i bet it was bc of me

  • Right exactly. A "community" like /r/conservative can't really exist on the Fediverse in the same way because it's current function depends on outsiders to engage with.

  • I started off strongly disagreeing but you make a good point. I think I would honestly be "happy" to see something like /r/conservative move to a decentralized platform (though that might be a bad example because it's purpose is more of a propoganda-spreader than a true "community").
