  • If you're only watching subscriptions and not scrolling the generated feeds, you could presumably run tubearchivist through a VPN and then watch via Jellyfin or Plex (there are plugins).

    It will not only be private but it has sponsorblock.

  • my prompt was "make a funny so funny that only ronald b moore could have made it"

  • We've come full circle (back to the alpha quadrant)

  • Ok thanks, as someone else explained to me the real issue is that Google is blocking device makers from allowing other OSs to be installed (but oddly Google devices aren't among them).

    It seems fairphone is the only option right now but Graphene doesn't have a release for them.

  • Thanks for explaining, I didn't realize it was so device specific. I just assumed if you had an ARM computer you could install an OS the same way if you have a larger computer like a laptop you can.

    So adjusting the question- where in your opinion should I put money? Fairphone? I notice Graphene doesn't have a release for their devices.

  • Love this. I don't want to read books. I want to have read books. I heard that if you read a certain amount of books that when you die you get an achievement.

    Been saying for years I wish I could spend less time lost in a good book and more time making my boss rich.

  • "No babe it's not rage bait because he cites his sources, I swear babe I won't yell at my screen all night again"

  • True. Doctorow is not exactly one to restrain himself in lieu of a stinging hyperbole.

  • Data centers and power generation are IRL investments that are needed whether it’s for AI use or not.

    Well said, and I think a good comparison (and something Doctorow has brought up before) is that the dot-com bubble built a ton of infrastructure and fiber networks that were later able to be utilized. He sort of touched on this when he said "Plan for a future where you can buy GPUs for ten cents on the dollar".

    That all said, as Ed Zitron is oft to highlight, something like 30% of the value of the SNP 500 is in "AI" right now. Even a relatively small pop could lead to more widespread repercussions.

  • "Chaufferdriven" sounds like a city in Germany

  • I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.

    Haven't tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

  • But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

  • If these catch on (unlikely imo) it's only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them...

  • idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don't feel squeezed.

    EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.
