These people might be two-footed drivers. My mother used to do this and you’d see the brakes flash on and off while following behind her because she’d be hovering her foot on the brake pedal while also hitting the accelerator.

I think it’s different than you describe since they own the publisher(s) and the distribution as well. This is no different than some famous examples like movie studios buying theaters and only showing their movies or Microsoft forcing people to use Internet Explorer. The quality of journalism should be irrelevant since the law is supposed to apply equally. Your example of Twitter killing journalism is different since they have no association with those other companies.

I agree the industry is eroding but I think that has more to do with the internet as a whole and people not wanting to pay and less to do with regulations. This situation can’t help the industry if it’s killing off a bunch of companies since they can’t get fair representation on a major platform like reddit. That just leads to further consolidation and more of what we’re currently dealing with.

Perhaps if we get a sane and effective government one of these decades, they can open an anti-trust investigation into Conde Nast considering they’re using their monopoly to give an unfair advantage to their own companies using your very example.

The only difference is the administration of the instance (their activeness, beliefs and how they choose to moderate), what instances they federated or defederated with (like hexbear and lemmygrad), and what features they’ve chosen to implement or not (like downvotes). For casual use, it probably doesn’t make a difference.

I’m just now realizing my primary account is here on .ee as well. I have one with lemmy.one and midwest.social but I’ll probably make a new one somewhere else like dbzero unless they’re still federated with hexbear since .one doesn’t use downvotes and I have constant connection issues with midwest.social.

In Proxmox, LXCs allow you to easily share resources between containers like your iGPU can be shared with your Jellyfin container and a separate Immich container. From my understanding, VMs bind whatever resource to the VM which can’t easily be used with other VMs or containers.

SiriusXM is now buying up a ton of popular podcasts and locking new episodes behind a completely separate membership from my Spotify subscription, so my feed is filling with a bunch of locked episodes. They’ve found a way to torture everyone not just those people who tried a free trial (or were given one after buying a car).

This thread is comparing the ease of setup between Plex and Jellyfin and having to purchase your own domain and set a bunch of stuff up on your own definitely doesn’t make for an easier install. You might be right about people’s ability to type in a URL, but this definitely illustrates the added difficulty in setting up Jellyfin.

There are a lot of people here who simply cannot be bothered to figure out remote access

I think being apprehensive is natural when you’re entirely left on your own for security, knowing that you could leave yourself vulnerable if you do it incorrectly. Add to this the fact that half the info you’ll find on the process is people claiming you just need to open some ports, which you know to be wrong, and it’s easy to see why it’s hard to trust any advice you find.

“Get to de choppah!” they said as they rushed toward the garbage disposal.

Roll that beautiful bean footage.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like this and don’t see how it could be much of a viable product but you could just cut the cord off any headphone jack and plug it in (not sure how many tvs come with headphone jacks either) to achieve the same goal or get a phone with an IR blaster like another commenter suggested.

I did enjoy watching them get up to hijinks but I didn’t want to get trapped trying to complete 14 more seasons of mediocre story telling. I am I big fan of the “monster of the week” type shows which are few and far between these days, but it didn’t seem worth it from what I read.

Imagine a rainbow on a cool spring day.

What do they call “fanny packs” in the UK? Vagina pouches?

It may be the phrasing in your original comment. It sounds like you’re questioning why anyone would watch videos on YouTube rather than questioning why YouTube is lumped in with traditional streaming service rankings.

I watch a ton of automotive centric channels, hobbyist electronics/PC/home automation/3D printing channels and a few weird niche ones like drain cleaning and dashcams, stuff you would never see (or has never been viable) on TV at least without a bunch of product placement and manufactured drama.

For TV and movies I have my own media server and I just download the stuff I, or friends and family, want to watch but I think the experience, content, and presentation is quite different than what you find on Youtube. They fill different roles for me personally as one is pure entertainment while the other is a mix of educational and entertainment in typically shorter formats.

Disney also owned April’s top streaming title, Grey’s Anatomy, which notched 3.9 billion viewing minutes and benefited from its multichannel and multiplatform availability.

WTF how are so many people still watching this show agter 20+ years? I honestly find this pretty shocking.

It can print on any surface so you could throw a mug in there and print on the side of it apparently. 3D printers require a flat bed to print an object on. It sounds like the mechanics are similar to a resin printer but with the ability to print on top of an existing object.

I am also a huge fan of Lower Decks. It will be missed! The crossover episode with SNW was fantastic.
