Yes a very good point, the carbon footprint of the average Canadian is 10x that of the average Albanian.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.

Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).

It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.

In response to the closure of the library entrance to Canadians—who represent at least half of the library’s clientele—the Haskell did what libraries do: found a way to serve its community anyway. It opened a back door, allowing all Canadians to continue to access the library via a small storage room, without crossing the border. Haskell also set up a fundraising drive to renovate this entrance and make it more accessible, asking for $100,000. In under two weeks, it raised $170,000 and counting. The library is essential. The community and the country at large are responding.

If an instance has a lot of spam, admins tend to notice and block it. In the future it’s likely admins will have more tools too, but for now the system works pretty well.

Redlib is browser based and will work on Windows. Here is a list of instances.

10/10 this is the future of Linux

Totally agree

👍

This is so true. Indie games are legitimately better these days. AAA titles can have a good game at their core, but it always feels like you’re fighting with the game itself to enjoy it. From custom launchers and meaningless boring “side quests” and “achievements” to pad them out. Indie games are much better at cutting right to the point of what makes the experience rewarding.

This comment is conveniently ignoring the part where the developers clarified that lemmy.ml is used for beta testing in a live environment and so it would be dishonest to claim that “development costs” and “hosting costs” could be meaningfully distinguished from one another.

I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners

If you want to be depressed, Joe Rogan has 10 times that for single episodes.

fwiw I agree, but it doesn’t appear to be considered mainstream by the guy I was replying to.

Sad that NPR is not considered “mainstream” these days. Maybe Joe Rogan will post something to Facebook about it?

That is correct and echoes what I said

The Remote Watch Pass is only needed if neither you nor the server owner have a Plex pass: https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/

When using an affected platform to stream personal video content remotely from a Plex Media Server, then one of the following needs to be true:

1. The admin account for the Plex Media Server has an active Plex Pass (which also allows remote playback for any other user streaming from that server)
2. Your account has an active Plex Pass
3. Your account has an active Remote Watch Pass

The remote playback restrictions do not apply to streaming music content to Plexamp or photos to our Plex Photos app.

I love the moments when it’s demonstrated that Ferengi can be actually very astute when it comes to diplomacy/interplanetary relations… their culture just has a completely different set of values.

Yeah it’s certainly not the worst series of episodes and as you implied it does some good world building. It just doesn’t do it for me the same way that “why is everyone treating O’Brien like he’s shady?” does.

Those look like a forbidden snack! I also didn’t know about that book thanks for sharing.
