Most libertarians won’t identity as such. Because of how completely and utterly it’s been taken by the far right. The fact that your far right could stomach voting for him, a different sect of far right. As opposed to someone on the left. Your own words betray your knowledge.
Most major world leaders have always been. Most of us can admit that. ML, like fascists however can’t.
Desalines etc there simply won’t accept the accounts of the people who were there and know what they are talking about. Whether it’s Tiananmen Square or the Han genocide of uyghurs in Xinjiang. They would scream in the face of the victims and admonish them for attacking the party. So incapable of thought on their own anymore that they would never acknowledge any of this.Without permission and instruction from the party. But if they hear a rumor about any Western nation. You better acknowledge that shit as fact. Or they will hypocritically dogpile of your ass.
Shield user since 2015. Literally just started down this myself. Got this yesterday but was too wiped out last night to set it up. Figured if I can spend less than a hundred dollars For a fourth generation i7 which is capable of decoding AV1. But I can’t buy a set top box that will do the same for even close to $100. It was worth a try.
The downside is you lose some power efficiency having a full-blown PC. The upside is configurability and usability. The shield was decent for emulation, but it still can’t compete with a full-blown PC. The one other small negative is casting. I’m not aware currently of any great method of casting media to a PC. There’s probably something that exists. I just don’t know of it yet. But I plan to evaluate a few immutable Linux distributions, including Bazite. With waydroid on top for any Android applications, I find that I just can’t get along without yet.
Quick edit after I got home to hook and use the remote. I had looked at several of them and had forgotten the exact specifications of the one I ordered. But I was pleasantly surprised. It has a decent weight. The buttons feel good. It’s plastic-y overall, but for the price, that’s what you expect. But best of all, it has an accelerometer in there to control mouse pointer movement. It’s more perfect than I ever could have imagined, and I’m going to buy two more soon for the project I’m working on for my parents for Christmas. Gonna hook them up with a home theater PC setup like I’m planning for myself. To replace their aging Chromecast TV.
I already mentioned client support. Stating that I was degoogling my clients and moving to htpc so codec support was largely a non issue in my particular case.
TBF, if you’re just downloading content. Even h265 can be rare still depending. Release groups sloooooooooowly change formats and workflows. And even then. Older content rarely gets new encodes.
Encoding these days is simple. I can do HQ 2 pass encodes of my DVD on a 6th gen i7 in just a little longer than it takes to watch. Yes 1080p can take over 3-4 hours for a movie. But I have a couple of old ewaste systems I can let churn overnight. I’m not concerned about real time re-encoding. I’m using av1 for quality and space saving.
Yes, I have a single machine where most of my storage is. I host my jellyfin server there, as well as all the home directories for all the users of my systems. Login to any system in the house and you always have the same desktop and data. If I want to replace a system, reinstall or distro hop. It’s just a few lines to copy into fstab and a few apps/flatpaks to download at most.
Av1 is better than h256 by quite a bit in many cases. Unfortunately, support is still very spotty if you’re running anything other than a home theater pc. But I’m moving to Av1/opus since, I’m actively de-googling/droiding. And moving to htpc.
This is a great idea, unless you want to game or worry about upgradability. If you want to watch videos, write, code, browse the web or just have a server. They’re fantastic. If you want to add in a GPU. Often you’ll be extremely limited to the rare low profile ones. If you are lucky enough to be able to use regular profile ones, you’ll often still be size limited due to component placement on the board or case internals. You could get a different case, but that often requires adapters too. Oh and you’ll need a new power supply, with more adapters.
If your application for the system goes anywhere near a GPU, such as a Jellyfin Server, spend the extra to get regular consumer parts.
I agree. That was the point. It’s theater. And Palestinians will continue to suffer in their own homes as my people have.
Considering what a joke Trump’s ceasefire has been, I expect something even flimsier like this to be even more of a joke.
Oooh second strawman. Saying that a senile old man like Biden simply existing in office in 2025 could have accomplished as much as Trump is hardly a defense. You want to know what has nothing to do with Palestine? Trumps cease fire. It was violated practically within 24 hours. They’re still waiting for actual help trapped between genocidal Israel and bloodthirsty Hamas. And peacemaker Trump isn’t going to lift a finger to do anything more that he’s already done, which is nothing.
If you have nothing to have other than a straw man. Maybe you shouldn’t reply.
I know right? Literally by simply existing in office in 2025 Biden could have accomplished the same or better. Because Trump did nothing. It’s true that both of them suck. But their desperate need to continue to attack Biden. To draw attention away from the fact that they campaigned against the only viable candidates against the fascists. There by helping the fascist win. Is hilariously sad.
That’s what ML activism is. If you’re not 100% with them, you’re a target. There’s plenty historical accounts of slaughtering former allies when they became inconvenient.
While we might say all cops are bad, because the system makes it impossible for them to be good. We still generally acknowledge that many of them are basically good people as flawed as humans are. And don’t deserve death just because we disagree with them. But you’ll never get an authoritarian to agree with that.
They’ve been posting and reposting this for the last week solid iirc. Baffled that it doesn’t get much traction outside the triad. They keep retrying.
I mean, throughout all human history, this is what settlers have done. When they settled the Western United States. It was by kicking my peoples from their homes. Settlers has always been a dirty word.
It’s certainly not complicated. Just tedious. That said I like the BSD style portage.
These days I tend to run on Arch based distros. Because they are close to those levels of configurability. Just a bit quicker to setup and get to a nice preset. I know there are pre made stages to skip some of the tedious setup for both gentoo and vanilla Arch. But then why not a distro where that’s the base. And some of the sub distros like Garuda provide some really nice configuration tools on top of the base experience.
It’s the great feature of the service.You can find an instance to suit your tastes.There are plenty more general instances out there. instances that are focused on certain regions or languages. There’s even a few out there dedicated to specific political ideologies. Such as the one you’re on, there’s even an instance that’s generally anarchist. Though that doesn’t mean you need to be on one that matches your ideology. I’m an anarchist and don’t have an account on the anarchist instances. I can still interact with them and their communities if I want.
In fact, the only thing you need to look at is what you currently interact with. And if the server you choose still federates with where it comes from. This isn’t my first server either. Communities on hexbear and lemmygrad are going to be inaccessible on most other instances. But most of the rest are all fully federated.
To an extent. !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works !tankiejerk@piefed.social !tankiejerk@lemmy.world all document some. I don’t know that anyone is archiving en mass. It’s rather a moving target.
It’s common enough that many, seeing someone posting from an ML automatically become irritated and combative. Which you can see here to an extent. Bad experiences with their instances and select users are pretty wide spread.
As mentioned earlier, Lemmy got it’s start because it’s creators were so toxic they were banned from most other places. While many of us chose to leave reddit years ago as enshittification accelerated. Lemmy’s creators did it out of necessity. They couldn’t be kicked out of a place they ran, no matter how toxically they behave. They have been defederated /cut off from a decent chunk of the fediverse still. The only reason you were able to post here, is because Lemmy.ml being the flagship server/ Cess pool playground of the software’s developers. Is given some leeway. That and they didn’t brigade from that server specifically. They used the other two, hex and grad which are widely defederated because of it.
dot ml was the first sort of the original hub of the content aggregator part of the Fediverse. Designed and populated initially by political hypocrites who’s behavior and unpopular opinions saw them banned from everywhere else. But that hasn’t really been the case anymore for a while now.
Better part of a decade on and there are a number of other software stacks doing the same thing. And plenty more instances outside ML serving content to the larger Fediverse. Put it this way. If you avoid politics like the plague and only use communities on ML for extremely niche, tech, or fandom like things. You’ll probably have an okay experience. However, if you ever have a moment where you are forced to shore up your reality and beliefs against theirs. They’ll come down on you like a ton of bricks and most likely ban you. No matter the evidence you have or your good faith. Their reality is tenuous, and can not stand scrutiny.
The problem being that it isn’t even the mods over there. It’s the admins ruling with an iron fist in favour of their ideology. Contrasted with dot world, recently there was a broughaha about a moderator of a large community there, being reactionary and immature. When someone pressed the admins of the instance, whether or not they agreed with it or supported it. They said no. And left it at that. Because the individual hadn’t violated the rules and their fellow moderators hadn’t asked for it. It wasn’t their place to remove them for being unpopular. Conversely if you persist in disagreeing with CCP, FSB, or DPRK propaganda. No matter how civil or polite you are ml admins WILL find a reason to ban.
Who is Milieu serving? Who is he dealing austerity to? Who has your economy, like ours served. Why should it be saved? The enemy of your enemy isn’t automatically your friend.
After all, your friend is a fairly buddy buddy with those who would have been dictators. And our own fascist populist for that matter. Sending 40 billion taxpayer dollars your way to prop him up. 40 billion, which even a small segment could help a lot of our own people. 40 billion that your people will likely see less than a fraction of a percent of in the long run. As the usual suspects soak up all the resources as they always have.
Both our countries need basic living affordability. Something austerity and cutting services will never accomplish. It’s all just theater for the wealthy. Even if inflation outright stopped this instant for either of our countries. It would help neither of us. What would help us both? Housing security. Red Vienna style public housing would be a great start. Follow that up with basic food security. Both our countries could do it. But neither will. Because we’re not who they serve.
But yes, if you evaluate everything on a single axis of politics, such as right and left. Things are going to be at best linear. It’s not a useful measurement, really. Just because someone appears slightly less authoritarian doesn’t make them any more right or left.
