Yeah I wanted to comment on this too. It’s a win for ms against dassault every time

Does taking my glasses off to 'let my eyes rest' actually have any meaningful effect? Or am I just making my eyes work harder?

Started wearing glasses full-time a few months ago and I usually take them off during my lunch break because, well I’m mainly looking at my sandwich and I’ve been told it’s good to let your eyes ‘relax’ as such....

I suppose this varies from person to person and I can only speak as a glass wearer with some… uhhh… 30-ish years of practice: your eyes can get tired. I have some days when I can’t stand the feeling of my glasses and have to take them off a lot. My experience is that contacts make me really tired, much more than glasses. It’s like my brain refuses to function if I see like a normal person. It’s all just anecdotal unless a medic confirms it though :)

How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?

Watching the drama around kagi unfold and it has me wondering how much you take into consideration a creator’s view on things like homophobia, sexism, racism, etc. when deciding to use a product. I think most of us have a bar somewhere (I would imagine very few on this website would ever consider registering on an altright...

Well let me just help you about Ender there - imagine an akschyaly clever kid, fedora wearing, huffing their own farts while being annoying on twitter and trying to suck their own dick all day. The image is a pimply kid almost reaching their dick, the cum blasts past their face and hits mein kampf on the spine, the kid goes into a crying diatribe about something.

I think that’s about it really, might have missed a part of the plot

Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

Afghan girls as young as 16 arrested in shops, classes and markets in Kabul by the Taliban, who labelled them ‘infidels’ for wearing ‘bad hijab’ (www.theguardian.com)

The girls – who were detained in shopping centres, classes and street markets – were accused of “spreading and encouraging others to wear a bad hijab” and wearing makeup....

And for the cunts who think there is an end to this kind of bullshit - a hijab is not enough, it has to be good. After that the shade of black is wrong, or the way these women breathe, or they don’t cower in a way these fucking micropenis pig-shit eating cunts like.

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

It’s really shitty. My isp offers a static ip plan but it costs a lot more, so I try using tailscale and it works ok. It’s a shame though

Could go either way fucking lol, the man is an insane cunt - what fucking possible way could it go except to shit? He might become a normal dude after a stroke? What the fuck

Yeah, I understand that the choice is between liquid and hard shit, but this dude is insane. I can’t imagine the other choice could be worse

I’m thinking we’ll all get to this kind of choice soon. And lets wait and see how hard he can fuck everything up

It’s been a slog. Don’t get chickenpox as an adult, don’t let your kid get ill right after chickenpox. Oh, and live in a country with decent healthcare, that helps too.

That’s exactly what they did, and we all knew this was going to happen. Like I said before, if you don’t manage to cut your toenails with a fryig pan a gun is not going te be much help either, dumb fucking cunts

You must be kidding? Jellyfin is years behind in every aspect except being free software. The best part is that you can’t disable transcoding, which is either insane, malicious or plain incompetent. As soon as that’s an option we can start talking about the rest of it

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

Well sure, I meant disabling transcoding and having it play anything. And it’s not about overhead, it’s just that I want to decide what my hardware does - I don’t want transcoding at all, ever, never ever. Not even when I’m using mobile data. The problem was always that jellyfin simply can’t play files which any player can play. I understand I didn’t really say what the issue was, sort of thought playing media files should be the bar

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

Not every single one, just the ones I tried. My tv can play anything using videolan or nova player, or anything else for that matter. I have to install jellyfin again, will do. It’s been very strange for me, with people praising jelly when it just never worked for me. And I avoided plex like the plague, but for some reason it works. Anyway, will check and file

Yeah, let me just change my profession real quick, fuck the 20 years I have invested. I’ll just do a tapdance on my eyelashes for the neckbeards and everybody will be happy weee

There was talk of changing gmail into some kind of chat view or something, I expect that will be the start

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

We still have maybe two years before they start destrying gmail. I think they’re already itching

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

Well this is really strange. I kept trying to use jellyfin but it felt like a hammer in search of fingers, what with being unable to disable transcoding and the apps being unable to play basically anything. So my server was on fire. And two days ago I decided to try plex, and everything just works tm, I disabled transcoding, it’s like magic. Just wish it wasn’t trying to make me get a subscription so bad, but for me the experience was completely opposite

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

I just added jellyfin to my nas and deleted it again. It doesn’t work without transcoding and the replies to people asking for the option are idiotic to say the least. Sometimes opensource software can be proper crap, what can you do. And plex is obviously faster, a lot faster. Maybe because it’s not wasting resources on transcoding haha

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

I guess it has a lot to do with hardware. The issue I have with this is mainly the lack of this option, I want to control what happens. But the weird thing is my devices are capable of playing the raw files over smb shares, using a regular player, no problems whatsoever. Then the jellyfin client decides that it can’t play these things and stuff goes downhill. It’s a shame, I’d always rather go with open things but there are limits.

What should be used for anonymous usernames?

More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique,...

The worst thing in all of this is that we have terms like ‘sideloading’. The most american way of saying installation of what you want is not allowed. I sideloaded some shelves in my house without asking apple
