russian spammers taking a break from inter-familial sodomy to post on the fediverse.

Still doesn’t make starting a war of aggression okay. Russia is still the bad guy.

not if it is a “mostly peaceful protest.” the cops open the gates then.

I’m still waiting for ICE to learn about the 2nd Amendment. Conservatives are 110% full of shit.

Mental illness and homelessness go together like sex and cigarettes. You can have 1000 days of harmless hobos sleeping on benches, and all it takes is 1 or 2 stark-raving madmen attacking or harassing people to shift attention and spark concern about safety (falling property values because that neighborhood has a “bum problem”)

I’m not saying it’s right, it just how things work.

Edit: I’ve paid high rent to live somewhere and had to deal with panhandlers, hobos, and thieves. Kindness wasn’t a valuable tool. Needless to say it hits different when you are the one being affected.

words right out of my mouth.

So if I were a foreign asset and in charge of the executive branch, I would ensure that every cabinet position and agency was headed by an incompetent, obnoxious, embarrassing criminal, so it simultaneously: discredits the institution, accelerates dissolution of public faith in government, actively damages the agency and its mission, and weakens the United States by a death of 1000 cuts.

But that’s just if I were a foreign (why not Russian) asset actively working against the best interests of the United States.

that’s desperate measures more like there’s always yarr harr yo ho

Endymion_mallorn’s comment is 8 words. Yours is the tantrum, and is incredibly suspicious, not to mention blind to so many issues re FOSS ideology.

AI chatbots eliminate 78% of the pain in the ass associated with getting a distro working in the real world. I’m off of win11 and on Mint. It wasn’t plug and play and permissions and ownership pisses me off to no end, but it’s working, Bottles is working, it looks great, and isn’t spying on me or constantly trying to sell me shit. My SO just last night said something shitty about how nobody uses Linux and I’m not special. My response was to say that pretty much every computer that isn’t a personal computer uses linux, and Microsoft has gone to absurdity in terms of restriction, spyware, and ads.

RomM looks really cool. I’ve had difficulty with getting the Retroarch container to play roms with acceptable latency and without crashing. Is RomM easy to set up and does it handle the heavy lifting in such a way as to not tax resources? I’m on an i5 thinkstation with onboard graphics. My system does not like Wayland at all.

I hear you on that. Just sharing my experience with this new toy I really like. Someday we’ll be able to flash these android machines to a google-free OS, and that will be wonderful. Oh and it plays games in an emulator everything up to PSP.

Edit: I think Kodi will run on practically anything, and there’s a Jellyfin addon (i think), but I don’t think you get the nice jellyfin UI with it.

If you’re talking about running a jellyfin client, not a server, get an android tv box. I have two tiers of ONN android boxes, 4k and 4k pro. I installed projectivy and smartube, as well as a client for navidrome and jellyfin. NO ADS EVER. I’m head over heels. The jellyfin client on the 4k was weird for a while, but I disabled a bunch of metadata plugins on the server and it straightened up.

I suspect as long as you’re just playing things off the server and there is no transcoding or whatnot going on, you should be fine.

Against what? To say this meme is shit-tier is generous. I for one wish the Palestinians had been able to destroy Israel decades ago. I mean, Israeli soldiers only shoot children and old women in the back. They piss their pants and cry if anyone shoots back.

I’m Happy either way. That code is the compose for the Firefox container I use. Lemmy just didn’t like my formatting.

Can someone help a geezer out? I’ve stepped away (or gotten permabanned) from all social media except for this one. I barely understand the fediverse. If I don’t plan on starting my own lemmy or mastodon community and literally nobody cares I exist, is there a benefit for me to run a fedi server? Would it help the cause in some way?
