The Obamas Endorse Harris: 'This Is Going to Be Historic'
  • Wow, in actually starting to feel a little hope for the future of this world. Trump as president will be a disaster for this entire world, all of US. All citizens in the world should have a vote since the US has made itself so important, yet all of us depend on democrats who aren't sure if they should vote and religious extremists who want trump.

  • Young voters are moving toward Harris and feeling less ‘meh’ about voting
  • On a side note: Just the fucking fact that people would need a ride to vote also shows that

    a) Voting is too damn hard in the US. I know that the Republican party has been working (and keeps working) hard on making voting nearly impossible, because less votes is better for them, but seriously: make voting easier.

    b) The US is extremely over dependent on cars. In the Netherlands almost nobody would drive their car to go vote, you use a bike. Why? Because the cities in the country are designed for people first, not for cars first. Start modifying your cities to not require cars. Add bicycle roads, actually invest in public transportation, add pedestrian walk ways. The US sucks for human beings, it's awesome for cars.

  • Every company should be owned by its employees
  • Haven't watched the video yet, will do somlatwr, but if no one worked, we would over amshort time literally return to the stone age.

    Who would make for for all? Would we have to scour for our own food again, each on their own? There is a reason we do farming, it is MUCH more efficient. A hand full people can make grain, beef, flour, and bread for hundreds of thousands, if not millions. It liberates all those other people to work on other things and make society grow.

    If we all do our own food then in no time growth will stagnate, loads of people will fail to make their own food and decide to get it from others, and since there is no police anymore either (they're busy making and finding their own food) there is no protection either.

    We would to have time to keep up infrastructure. More fertilizer would mean that there wouldn't be enough food produced for everyone, the world would go back to about 2-3billion humans. In on itself not a bad thing, there are too many humans, but 5-6 billion humans starving to death sucks.

    No more modern medicine, no ody is working anymore, remember? Sucks to be a diabetic, bye bye. If you're trans, you're outta luck, you got bigger fish to fry.

    We CAN'T stop working, we'd die out. If that video means something else, then the title is wrong.

    What we can do is redistribute wealth. Nobody should need to work two jobs and still not be able to meet rent, that is absurd.

  • Be nice
  • I toss a wild variety of expletives to those bots as they are always programmed to do what the provider wants, often not allowing what I want.

    Or sometimes they're just there withiui an option to get rid of them

    At least Alexa will stfu if I tell it to fuck off. Google will start bitching about how it has feelings, which it doesn't, and which is just a play made up by some managers which pisses me off even more

  • change: option to not exit media posts with a click on the media

    This is super annoying, as I try to pinch gesture zoom in on an image, and I'll go out of the media back to the list again instead.

    I'd like to click to already zoom in somewhat, making punch zoom even easier

    If I want to get out, I'll press the back button on my phone, or the back button of connect

    Sovcit wants to get started.
  • Well very simple. You boy a children's coloring set and draw some sovcit stuff on a card board and hang that on the back of your car over your license place. Done! You'll get illegally arrested and illegally jailed, but such is life for sovcits

  • Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines
  • "stupider than simply wrong"

    What are you? 5?

    My sentiment is that it's a crazy situation where people are defending a multi billion dollar company that we all coninously pay, who spies and serves ads despite said payments, that time after time willfully neglects security, anything in the name of profits, over a free system that works better, more reliably, is open, and dependable.

    Your response: you're stupid

  • Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines
  • What is wrong with saying that a paid product that is far inferior to a free (both as in beer and freedom) product should be dropped in favor of said free product when said paid product has embarrassing failures, scandals and abusive behavior on pretty much a weekly basis?

    How long ago was it that Microsoft testified in front of Congress after deciding they weren't going to fix a security hole because the negative press would cost them contracts (and thus money) which resulted in China successfully hacking the US government? A month or so? What did the Microsoft dipshit say again? Oh yeah, THIS time (after all the previous times) the CEO would be on top of security, weally! And more importantly, weeewe sowwyyyy, we won't do it again.

    Yes yes yes, this is a different provider, who cares? Its a core product that is only there because their system is so badly Designed in the first place.

    These are.paid products and millions if not billions of machines went down and I'm the bad guy for saying that this is not acceptable and that people should drop that paid spyware and anware shit for Linux, which is free and a hell of a lot more reliable than this windows crap? YOU ARE PAYING MONEY FOR THIS, YOU STILL GET ABUSED AND THEN ITS STILL NOT RELIABLE! WHY DO YOU A ACCEPT THIS BULLSHIT? what is wrong with you?

    Edit: At this point it's hard not to see these reactions as a beaten and abused wife saying "oh but my husband really isn't such a bad guy once you get to know him!". I don't get these attitudes, why do you accept this treatment from a multi billion dollar company?

  • UK Climate Campaigners Get 'Utterly Disproportionate' Sentences
  • My second paragraph was an example of how tight wing extremists use that very same phease.

    so I'm back with Netflix and Amazon...

    So I'm back with Netflix and Amazon. I'm kind of done with jellyfin at this point. I've been recommending it to everyone and honestly I'm not sure that I still would.

    Jellyfin as a product simply doesn't work. There, I said it.

    For a media system I'd hope for the basics to be able to play a movie or show with subtitles, selecting audio channels, and scrubbing and it to remember where I was left. I wouldn't even need posters and all that, I'd get my own subtitles, etc.

    I have multiple TVs, but let's go with the old one with a chrome cast. I use my Android phone to cast a show episode. Scrubbing sometimes works. it works better than before because before it would just break everything to the point of the app requiring a reinstall. At least that's fixed now but scrubbing still is SLOW, 10 seconds ahead takes 20-30 seconds to do. Worse though, it borks up subtitles by leaving the subtitles that were there when you started scrubbing, and places the new ones on top of that. The only way out is to exit casting completely, kill the app, restart all from scratch. Obviously JF doesn't continue where I stopped (seriously, requests on that timeframe were made, it can't be that hard to register that, can it?) and so I need to scrub again which, you know, borks up subtitles. So I'll start just from the beginning, I can rewatch the same 5 minutes twice but it annoys the hell out of my wife.

    Then, subtitles is a mess. The above, but also switching subtitles will cause similar issues. Don't touch anything when having subtitles!

    Then: it's slow. It's godunholy slow. I have a 16 core and Rhyzen 5 cpu, 64gb men @3200mhz, 1tb M2 Samsung Evo 989 pro, and ~60tb over 3 exos drives. An AMD rx7800 XT finishes up the config. It's not the best of the best, but my system, u believe, ranks in the higher ranks of jellyfin installations

    Jellyfin cannot play a movie or show without stuttering at least a few times, flat out freezing for minutes during shows, especially in the second episode for that day... If I run transmission in parallel, it just freezes up so much that it's undoable.

    Logs don't indicate any major issue, I saw a freeze and had all logs on tail and literally saw no messages whatsoever during that freeze. System utilization was near zero.

    Wife isnt tolerating jellyfin anymore and now I have Netflix and Amazon accounts again.

    I understand it's open source software, you do what you can, but right now it simply isn't a system that is for the general public. It can be used by nerds like me who have the patience to deal with all the issues.

    Edit: Really? 17 downvotes? I'm trying to tell you that the thing doesn't work and that I've spent plenty of time trying to fix it, reading docs, posting questions, nothing has fixed anything so far but can't have people talk about that, or what's wrong?
