How long has Gamurs owned The Escapists? I thought it was getting suspicious lately how many different things they were trying to get money so quickly.
They were putting more sponsor segments in ZP videos at different points and Nick would respond in the comments when people complained, trying to find a good place to put them. Then they started letting Yahtzee curse more and offering the uncensored version on their subscription service. And these changes were quickly one right after the other. I should’ve known something like this was coming, but I’m still sad about it. I hate capitalism so much. Why does these corporations have to ruin all my favorite things?
It makes me want to move, but all my family and friends are here, and my SO’s job which she enjoys and has coworkers she likes. It’s so tough =( I wish this country was is willing to fight. I also wonder what it would take. The BLM movement was good, but a lot of the gains from that were rolled back. So I guess anything less than citizens getting shot in the streets doesn’t cause anything and we have to settle for this slow moving fascist take over.
I’ve spent all today and yesterday trying to get this working with PureVPN and QBitTorrent and it hasn’t been working much at all 😭. It’s been painfully slow when it works at all, which has been rare. Although it has been doing the job of hiding the Docker container IP so that’s good, and it makes me think it’s something minor, like port forwarding not working because of PureVPN or something off with my settings, or it’s a qBittorrent issue, or Docker and Linux inexperience.
Admittedly troubleshooting has been slow because I’m super new to Linux and Docker and keep running into permission and file system issues. Running the VPN and torrent straight in my computer was way easier, but I’d really love to be able to run Plex and a torrent client on the same computer on at the same time with Plex not going through the VPN and the torrent client going through it, which is what this seems great for.
Ooh that is nice and cheap. I’ll have to look into that. Also, thanks for the explanation of transcoding! I’ve been seeing that term everywhere.
On a separate note, it’s nice to see Lemmy building up it’s own knowledge base on these issues so I, and future people in my position, won’t have to rely on googled Reddit answers lol.
Nope. I just had Plex already installed on my Smart TV because some friends let me share their Plex servers and as a techie person I wanted to experiment with doing that, too, rather than asking them to get the content I wanted.
Tbh, I haven’t looked into jellyfin too much. Would you say you prefer that over Plex?
You got it, that’s basically what I’ve got so far. And thanks for the suggestions! I’m going to look into these two options.
I’ll probably pick the one that takes up the least amount of space. Hopefully I have enough room behind my desk for all these new devices. I’m already taking up so many plugs with lights, cell phone chargers, the router, wifi, work laptop, personal laptop, monitors, and random LED strips, speakers, a device dock, etc.
But how does encouraging schools to buy a book compare to someone who buying houses and payting tuitions for a justice and their family members, and bringing them on all expense paid vacations, all by someone who is sitting on cases in front of that justice?
I think the same standard would be if these schools had cases in front of the Supreme Court and then bought a ton of her books.
I’m guessing you have to plug a separate hard drive into the Nvidia Shield Pro to stream files that large? I’ve been thinking of going that route since Netflix has started being sucky. I don’t want to support them, but I miss their 4k Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos/5.1 content for my own basic, little home theater.
Ya, I’ve been told that it’s a known bug that they’re working on. I still like it as a reader, but to do any sort of adjustment to your account, such as finding communities and adding them, or interacting with replies to your posts, the website is more useful right now.
Hopefully it can catch up soon with the big reddit exodus happening.
Not everyone has the time or inclination to moderate those communities they make, though. That’s the only thing that’s preventing me from making a bunch of the old communities I miss. I hope some of the big mods move over here and keep doing it. I miss AITA, some DnD and RPG subs, and some other fun story subs. I also prefer my movie and TV communities split up instead of in one mega community like in !moviesandtv@lemmy.film.
Right? I know Sam Altman sucks but I don’t know if he was fired for more profit or less, or what exactly is going on. I’m not sure how to react to these articles besides surprise and bemusement.
