I first read about it years ago and you captured my reaction perfectly.

comin’ straight from the underground

I’ve been watching the market closely for years and years. I don’t think there is much thought that goes into it.

It’s just normal asshole main-character behavior. See ripples of that behavior across society these days.

I can’t remember if I’ve seen a house without a garage and/or driveway.

I’m currently a fan of YAM Launcher. I seem to change my launcher every few years, just to mix things up a little. I’ve been using YAML for over a year now and I don’t really think about it. Minimalist, nothing flashy going on, just works.

I thought the entire issue was with catfriend1 handing over the repo and everyone in the dark as to whom, or why, or anything.

I’ve had a 7t for I don’t know how many years. I always hate phone shopping. I hope that there is something like fairphone available when this thing dies. I just want to have a replaceable battery. I’d probably still have a phone from a decade ago if I could replace the battery.

I can’t imagine this helping someone, but on the off chance, if you used org and are wondering what to use, s/org/li/ works for me and seems quicker than the gone one.

Copyparty is easy, but if you can both set up syncthing, that makes it a breeze. I have a sibling that lives across the Pacific and last time they visited I set up syncthing on their laptop and when either of us wants to share something, we just drop it in that folder and wait a minute or two.

If I can’t find a half-way decent replacement when I have to get a new phone, I’m getting something super basic. Flip or whatever, only for emergency use. Something that’s not corrupted by google.

This is only because you are a person of culture, taste, and good upbringing. It’s unrewarding to argue with these ignorant peons who somehow have been brainwashed to believe vertical is in any way OK.

Subtitle to the story of civilization

Dude just could have said something like,“Hey, I’m a developer of Plex and have really enjoyed my experience using it. Let me know if you’d like to see something added/fixed.”

Living in the US, I think a large part of why we can’t seem to agree on anything politically is because we’re using separate definitions depending on which perspective it’s from. It makes conversations impossible.

Your filter list is very similar to mine. Makes a hell of a positive change.

The exact phrasing varies, but in most states, the details of the law are the same: Any “commercial entity” that publishes “material harmful to minors” online can be held liable—meaning, tens of thousands of dollars in fines and/or private lawsuits—if it doesn’t “perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”

Sure seems like that would cover a lot of websites, including most news sites.

It just downloads the audio file for the video, so if there is that crap, you get it. I haven’t had many issues with extra stuff though. I send it a link like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbNzvRx9lF_Tw6oi-I8iYbhBWNf775kwR and I get a good-enough-for-me bunch of mp3s.

Just a little FYI for anyone wanting to download a playlist to listen to offline. Use yt-dlp. Load up the playlist, copy the URL, and then just run

yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list<the playlist>

I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I just bought the biggest 5400rpm HDD that was in my price range when I set up. Might notice the slower speed when doing a big data dump, but for streaming purposes you can run many 4k streams concurrently and the bottleneck would probably be your network speed before you hit a drive read bottleneck.
