Regardless of the language, it sounds like AI, that’s all:

You can find the hottest videos and tracks on YouTube. You can also upload your own content and share it with friends or the whole world.

Yeah, same here, that’s why I specified that they’re only nice when they work. Often they just don’t work, so Flatpak is better.

Auf YouTube findest du die angesagtesten Videos und Tracks. Außerdem kannst du eigene Inhalte hochladen und mit Freunden oder gleich der ganzen Welt teilen.

This caption makes the post seem like AI is behind it, lol.

Damn, alright haha, I completely missed that news. Good for them.

I think I’ve landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.

So if I already use K-9 Mail, should I bother? Does anything set it apart yet?

At this point, I am an LMDE shill because it works so well for my non-tech wife. She has only had to use the terminal 3 times since I installed it for her in the summer and most of what she needs for day-to-day desktop computing came pre-installed.

It “just works,” even for multi-monitor setups, which I thought it would have trouble with.

So if you don’t endorse European support to Ukraine or Europe/Ukraine using American weapons, what do you want here? Do you want them to simply give up and surrender their land to Russia? Do you want only European countries to supply weaponry and equipment? I’m not sure what options are actually left after those are out or how to read this comment in general. The 600 F-35s are presumably already ordered, which is why there’s a concrete number to report on.

I think this one is more difficult than it sounds.

I think that teens and kids are going to kill themselves because of this regardless of how difficult you think it sounds. I was a trans teen and waiting until I was 18 caused me to attempt suicide. Sure, it was only once, but I could have succeeded if I hadn’t chickened out and didn’t have a therapist at the time. Maybe TMI, but these discussions need to be had, as you say.

Also, puberty blockers are reversible at any time.

Cool, more teen suicides. Probably even pre-teens.

Brave uses their own search index, so they are quite literally trying to do that.

In Ontario, Canada people can opt in when renewing their health card (a card used to access public healthcare) or driver’s license, and it probably does positively impact the rate of opting in, but it really doesn’t seem to address the need. I’ve been a registered organ donor since I was 16, but most people I’ve brought it up with aren’t.

I suppose if choosing an option is mandatory instead of voluntary then that would change things for the better. Is that what Germany is doing?

I think this post is alluding to the results of the US election and asserting that (at least part of) the reason is that many people decided not to vote.

Related to people’s tendency to do nothing when faced with the need to opt in is the status quo bias—the tendency to do nothing when faced with making a decision.

For what it’s worth, I agree with you. Most telecom infrastructure funding has been historically pocketed. There is a chance it does work, though.

If not, maybe the tariffs will help in the short term by minimizing profit from overseas supply chains and incentivize American manufacturing, causing a positive effect on the sector in concert with CHIPS (but I doubt it).

Oh, the thing Trump called “so bad” on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can’t trust it, but he did say it.

As it stands, CHIPS isn’t going anywhere, so at least Americans won’t be totally fucked.

I don’t know anything about Jellyfin as a user but I’ve heard from others Jellyfin and Emby are ready to compete with Plex on a level playing field. Not sure if it’s an exaggerated hype or not. :P

Plex is fine as a whole, it just handles my music library kind of clunkily and doesn’t have much support for organization or dynamic playlists. It’s obviously meant more for movies and shows and that’s why Plexamp exists (which I don’t use).

Whenever I posted on /r/Plex on Reddit, people would comment that I should use another player, but that place is a cesspool with dedicated Plex haters; it’s so weird. Plex does function as a music player, it’s just a bit unfocused (design-wise) and bloated.

When I don’t want to boot up Plex I use mocp, a terminal-based music player, so I’m not in need of a fancy player like Deadbeef, Strawberry, Audacious, MediaMonkey, Musicbee, etc. but they do offer more to the user than Plex does.

I use Plex to play music most of the time (I know, but it works). Do you know if there’s a webhook or script available that would scrobble from Plex to ListenBrainz? I skimmed the list of player integrations and didn’t see anything.

Honestly, I can’t believe you guys have to register to vote and can be denied if you forgot/couldn’t when it’s so different in Ontario/Canada. I can just walk in to a polling station, give them my driver’s license, and go vote. Hell, you can even vote without ID (subject to certain requirements) if you need to.

Give peas a chance! Violins is not the answer!
