Lol this really sucks for Plex users, but I’m glad I left that steaming pile of shit software. I’ve been using Jellyfin for two years now and have never had to deal with sudden new shitty default-on features that appear from out of nowhere. Not once. With Plex, that happened like every other release. I don’t miss it.
I know, right? That is some frickin Lord Farquaad shit. What a dickhead!
Alligator. Chewier than chicken. Tasted kinda like chicken. Would try again, I guess.
Also had ostrich burgers a couple of times. I’m told I was shitfaced and enjoyed them immensely, but I couldn’t tell you for sure, for I was shitfaced.
You might have figured it out by now, but “megabits per second” is abbreviated as “Mbps” with an uppercase m; yeah, it’s kinda pedantic, but using lowercase means it’s a millibit, which is much, much smaller. The same applies to “gigabits per second,” which should be expressed as “Gbps.”
At any rate, thank you for posting this, it really is good news. And about time they did this, too.
It’s just the kids reading her books 20 years ago didn’t recognize all the problematic shit she wrote till they grew up.
Adult here who was an adult when the books came out and recognized all the awful racist and sexist imagery. I have nothing new to add to the conversation, I’m just gonna vent. There were quite a few of us here and there who spoke up when the books were published, but we were significantly outnumbered and immediately drowned out by the “shut up and stop complaining” crowd. Yes, all this talk of “problematic” issues in the Potter books are old observations we’ve been rehashing for two decades…the goblins who run the banks are a horrifyingly obvious Jewish caricature, Chinese character Cho Chang’s first name is actually a Korean last name, the one black guy in the whole fuckin series is named “Shacklebolt” (seriously wtf), the one Irish character goes by “Seamus Finnegan,” the main female character Hermione is constantly referred to as “bossy”…just to name a few. JFC, what a shitshow.
Ok, one more example that got a lot of attention years back but sort of faded away from public consciousness: in the first movie there’s a bigass six-pointed star on the fuckin floor of Gringotts, of all places. You know, Gringotts. The bank…where the undeniably Jew-like goblins work. No fuckin shit, it’s right there, plain as day. That one still boggles my mind. I mean, what the fuck, man. https://i.postimg.cc/Jzx2hr31/happry-potter-1-star-of-david-gringotts.png
EDIT: Hey everyone, it’s been abuot an hour now and I just want to apologize for all this negativity. I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I’ve come to realize all the anti-this and anti-that complaints are really unfair and show only one side of JK Rowling. So I feel compelled to balance this out and remind everyone that she is also pro-slavery. Especially the kind of slavery that forces its slaves to work completely naked, and no one in the book has a problem with it except for the bossy lib girl that everyone hates.
And that too.
Bandcamp’s U.S. employees, who launched a union that went public earlier this year, announced early in October that they had sent a letter to Songtradr outlining a list of demands around the sale of the company
JFC, brutal response.
They just laid off half their staff
Edit: after they got bought out. Hooray capitalism! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/half-of-bandcamps-staff-laid-off-after-songtradr-acquisition/ar-AA1ijuTX

FFS lol, why don’t we skip the pedantry and just call it Gary already
Jesus fucking christ
This is terrible, I love it.
yeah, you gotta post em if you have more
It’s insane that people defend the CCP.
They’re already here, in this thread. Guess what instance they’re from.
They’re joking. It’s the “I use Arch btw” meme
You’ll dig it if you’re a Trek fan, especially if you like the ships. Oh lordy, there are ships. However, it’s an older game, and it’s very grindy/paygate-y, if you know what I mean. The game is free to play, but it really pushes microtransactions and loot boxes. I wouldn’t say it’s any worse than your average MMO, though.
That said though, it’s a great game if you’re a Trekkie. It’s set in the Prime universe, picking up several years after Spock disappears in the 2009 Abrams movie. It’s still in active development, with new content coming out all the time, and several actors from past shows have done voice acting for certain storylines. And the ships, holy crap, the ships…
3,237.5 hours, Star Trek Online. I recently started playing again after a 9-year hiatus, so about 2,900 of those hours are from like a decade ago.
Btw (shameless plug), we’re trying to get a STO community up and running in the verse: https://kbin.social/m/sto. Any other captains around here, feel free to drop by!
Programming I really don’t see myself doing but I do admit having some curiosity towards python, going for years, but I really don’t know where to start to approach it.
You’ll probably want to start small at first (random number generator, calculator, tic-tac-toe), but eventually you could create an app that would help you with your business. IDK, just thinking out loud, maybe inventory management or a system maintenance tool?
My background is not on STEM and I was always passed the notion that without roots in hard math I can’t go far in programming.
I made that mistake years ago and have always regretted it. I mean, I’m doing just fine now, but that fear of math really did me no favors in life. I really wish I had pursued a CS degree.
both sides
Only one side is banning books, man.
Jurassic Park.
Everyone was blown away, like holy shit, that was amazing
