Unfortunately, reading the specs for a tech product is mandatory. A single sentence in a preview will never tell you everything you need to know; this was an expensive lesson for you. I’d like to second the recommendation for a Brother laser printer.

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.

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.

The new series is great, I used to not like Sophie in the original series but now I love her. They all have excellent chemistry and the new guy (Harry) and Hardison’s little sister are additions that fit perfectly into that despite my initial doubts about it.

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

Man, Nathan is the most boring character on Leverage. That guy probably sucks.

Well, yeah, some are like that. That’s why we have “bad boy” stereotypes and the saying “nice guys finish last.” Women want men they can relate to and enjoy being around, and some women enjoy being with guys that aren’t respectful of things/people that they don’t have an emotional connection to. Most women I’ve met don’t want that type of guy.

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.

She didn’t need the money that bad, anon. There are worse things in the world than being friends with a hot girl.

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.

Why? I’m Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It’s pretty contentious and fucked up. It’s not like I’m an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.

What conversations, specifically

Lol, okay, very specific. I’m also talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.

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.

What conversations, specifically, are being stifled or overlooked due to US politics? The comm isn’t very active.

Not American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.

Every time I see the Fedora logo I think of DisplayFusion instead. Windows poisoned my brain. :(
