  • The fiduciary responsibility standard is there to protect people’s retirement which is all in the market. It sucks that people are losing are being laid off but I don’t think changing the standard would give these people their jobs back.

  • After reviewing your link, my existing bluray drive happens to be on the list. But I didn't do any flashing or anything along those lines. I just downloaded the software at it worked and so I paid for it.

    I have the LG WH16NS40 for your reference

    edit: checking out the FAQ on the site, looks like for 4k blurays it is recommended to flash the firmware, I only have 1 4k bluray (I don't have a 4k TV) and it seemed to rip fine but I used handbrake to downscale it to 1080p to save space since I don't have a 4k television

  • Power drunk mods

    Jump

  • The market will decide whether mods are in the wrong or not. If you feel like you have been wronged by power tripping mods then feel free to start your own instance and own community and people will join if the situation is that bad.

    Having an election for mods is redundant when federated networks are democratic by their nature and how their users use them. Having an "election" is potentially less democratic because it's an arbitrary vote rather than letting people vote with where they decide to hold their accounts and the subscriptions.

  • My set up is a $70 Blu-ray drive and a $50 software (but it’s free if you use the beta)

    As far as I know, it’s compatible with all Blu-ray drives, just google MakeMKV

  • Cloudflare sells domains at cost. If you use apple devices and pay for iCloud+ ($1.99 a month for the cheapest plan), you can get email hosting for your domain for the entire family + a catch all address.

    You can run an email host yourself but it is going to cost more in time and effort to maintain than just paying for hosting. It’s not very professional if your messages go to spam due to low reputation or if you miss a message/someone gets a bounce back because the container running your mail server was down and you didn’t realize

    Run mail on a custom domain for fun, to learn what it takes, but don’t do it for mail that really matters

  • You shouldn’t have shared your information with someone who is untrustworthy then. Data sharing is opt-in.

  • The sad thing is you have to balance the costs of requiring your customer to use 2FA with the risk of losing business because of it and the risk of losing reputation because your customers got hacked and suffered loss.

    The sad thing is some (actuall most) people are brain dead, you will lose business if you make them use a complicated password or MFA and it puts them in the position to make a hard call.

    They took the easy route and gave the customer the option to use MfA if they wished and unfortunately a lot of people declined. Those people should not have the ability to claim damages (or vote, for that matter)

  • Apple is a hardware company first, not an advertising and services company like Google and Roku, and not a literal massive online retailer like Amazon.

    Apple TV is the only one that doesn’t have ads on its home screen. I use an Apple TV to play all my physical media that has been ripped to mov and re-encoded with handbrake

  • I ended up uninstalling the official iOS app and went to the browser with vinegar. I kept reporting these scam ads and YouTube doesn’t bother removing them. Google doesn’t care if their users are scammed because the users aren’t their customers

  • If the majority of users on Lemmy.world does not want to be federated with meta then Lemmy.world will lose those users and then no longer be the power they currently are with influence over the fediverse.

    Also I believe it’s disingenuous to equate explodingheads, which was defederated for being extremely toxic due to its lack of moderation and meta which presumably has more resources to devote to moderation than any fedi instance (of course they are still terrible at it)

    I’m for defederating with meta when the time comes because I don’t think that their influence is healthy for the fediverse and don’t think that most admins could handle the burdens that would come with federating with them. Lemmy.world (and mastodon.social and a few others) is a big enough instance that they could handle those challenges. I’ve said before that if meta only sticks to the open source AP spec then the risks are much less and so that should be the criteria for federation

  • The Fediverse is working just as intended.

    Jump

  • Just because Lemmy.world doesn’t agree with about defederating with meta doesn’t make them sell outs. Like you said, you are jumping ship; just like the fediverse intended.

    For better or worse, Lemmy.world is intended to be a catch all instance for normies so it makes sense why they would not defederate from meta.

  • Apple Is Holding the Final Nail for X’s Coffin

    Jump

  • Come on Tim Apple. Do it. You know it’s the right thing to do

    Actually, with Google recently losing in court where Apple had previously won because Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules; Apple might be actually inclined to actually enforce its rules in X’s case lest they suffer the same fate

  • Oh no ...

  • I think it's mostly people viewing the "All"/"Community" feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven't really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your "Home" feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.

    Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.

    Honestly the linux stuff doesn't bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.
