Seedbox VM running on my Synology permanently routed through VPN running radarr, sonarr, jackett, plex. I find stuff either by searching what’s new for the month or by occasional subscriptions of the streaming services.

Well I think dem women not showing up to defend their bodily autonomy via the first woman president is as much or more damning than voting for Trump.

Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump. So I guess they like this?

There’s a lot of programming you can do with zero or very basic math skills. But some stuff can require a lot. But I’m quite sure you could manage a career very nicely without ever touching those areas. People who do that are probably seeking those things out.

Jeez at least take your blue neighbors with you.

Republicans actively work for an uneducated population they can rule. That’s the root of this problem.

I don’t feel that that’s true if you remove the .ml’s.

It’s full of tankies. Many of the mods of major subs such as politics or world news are tankies and will block anything remotely critical of Russia or China and censor anyone who says, for instance, that Ukraine has the right to take the fight to Russia. It’s definitely more covert than lemmygrad is, but after about 6 months there, it became abundantly clear to me that nothing good was coming out of that place.

Trust me, as someone who has been through this process, they manage to drive away all the normies pretty quickly.

You don’t have to use filters, just like you don’t have to subscribe to subreddits on Reddit. You can just use the default front page if you are afraid of tailoring it to your tastes.

You can listen to people try to convince you that Russia’s war is justified and that Tienamen Square never happened for a while if you want, then make up your mind and block them later ;-).

Yes, most people will want to do this at a minimum with Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml (actually most instances already have defederated with the second, but it doesn’t hurt).

It won’t be long before the internet is just bots talking to each other and advertisers paying them to do so.

I vividly remember the Digg migration and Reddit is so very much like Digg these days.

Yeah they’ve gotten really weird about forcing you to use their app and put a credit card on it constantly. Really annoying.

Yeah then it’s more complicated. I’d say as long as you’re buying another electric vehicle, it’s probably good not to give Musk any more money. But deciding between a gas vehicle or a Tesla, I’d still lean towards Tesla.

That’s because most CEO’s aren’t outright buying media companies to push their political agenda. Musk is drawing a line in the sand and more or less asking everyone to take a side.

Applying this consistently to all daily transactions is not feasible, of course. But if it were, the world would be a much better place. I definitely try to do it where possible, and by focusing on bigger purchasing decisions you can make a bigger difference so the work isn’t as much overall as analyzing every tiny transaction.

Mouse tits?

Wow I had never even thought about looking for something like this, so cool.
