You’re just another voluntary Israel apologist trying to smear people - it’s shocking how a fascist leadership doesn’t even have to twist arms to get pro-genocide propagandists out there

Well, if this isn’t a sign to get off those VPNs in favour of Mullvad, I don’t know what is. They’re clearly big enough corporations to be targeted - time will tell if they’re gonna fold like one

That’s good to hear - I rely on HW transcoding for a couple situations and have heard from a couple Github issues that it’s not as good on Jellyfin - but that may not be the case now. Best thing I can probably do is set it up and see how it fares on my library!

I think we should find alternative ways, provided they don’t already exist, to ban predators and bad actors that doesn’t punish the entire userbase. Unfortunately, with initially ethical control comes state- and money- sponsored surveillance and oppression. It is seemingly impossible for the former to be free of the latter.

We’re already bombarded by services requiring users give up their age in order to be placed in data farming and advertising categories, with some banning those who cannot be farmed. Hell, every social media provider’s user age limit is 13 as per the EU GDPR – regulators only need to increase that age to 15/16 if they’re uncomfortable with its current level.

And no - I do not see a way to enforce age restriction without breaching basic rights to privacy. The only reason services demand your permission for cookies, device information, identifying data etc. is because the regulators mandate they cannot take your data without your permission. If they cannot find a way to sandbox the under-18 internet from the over-17 internet, then we should just keep the existing rules and expand support for victims. I dont believe there is an ethical solution for preventative measures.

Guys, are we really surprised that America colonised the English-speaking Internet?

Liquid husband.

*or one of Israel’s hired foreign militia

I’m just pissed off we let America have so much power over the world as it is. They’re one country, for fuck sake, not the World Police.

I’m not qualified enough to answer that, but…

I tried setting up calls and while STUN/TURN works in WAN, but not LAN, Element are supposed to be making a replacement that makes voice and video calls entirely E2EE, aka Livekit, which I’ve completely failed to get working. So far I’ve given up on improving my instance’s features and stick to Element Classic. I hope you get it running well!

You mean when they went closed source? I know Jellyfin is all open source but apparently rougher UX all round… and Emby is miles better than Plex, not least because Plex has a scalp-worthy cost and too many paywalled features. Jellyfin to me is a purist alternative - libre software is ideal but you start to get a much weaker product.

I’m not queer, I’m “Jew and other”

For folk like us who perceive very little opposition to black folk in our locale, or value peace etc., All Lives Matter sounds far more logical than just Black Lives Matter, as the phrase ALM encompasses all life, as is our belief. To us BLM sounds like discrimination, black supremacy. In reality, the people that coined the phrase and stand by it intended to send a different message that the phrase doesn’t fully convey: Black Lives Matter As Well. Because where they are situated there is a strong pressure of authority and societal racism treating people whose melanin levels are higher as less important or less human. Said cruel society started using ALM as a counter, to once again belittle their black society.

It’s not the first time a nasty group of people appropriated good, well-meaning phrases and symbols for their own ends and it won’t be the last. The rest of us have to adapt and avoid association with them by not using the appropriated language.

Finally, those who comment that anyone who doesn’t think like they do are “stupid” are themselves egocentric, ignorant of other communities outside their own that do not share their struggles and either have never heard of, or do not have need of the BLM movement.

Ah fuck. That’s where my alt was.
Do we have a reason?

Yeah they worked within like 5m, less with walls. Tbh a fob with a loud buzzer was more effective

I’ve found smaller, cheaper alternatives by TrackR and Findr, but a promising yet expensive alternative is Chipolo - supports Apple Find My, Google Find My Device, and Chipolo companion app, however the tracking data is supposedly E2EE

What annoys me is that there were thin (~2mm) sticker-type Bluetooth tags about 15 years ago and cost a hell of a lot less (£10 for 3) than fucking AirtagsTile. No battery, just a passive coil that could be found with Bluetooth signal and an app that shows how close it is. Only I can’t find anything on them, so it’s little more than a conspiracy

Knowing when to stop fighting is also a strength.

Rumours of weakness are pointless - attempting to unfairly discredit someone else achieves little more than societal damage.

Well, the enemy of authoritarian control and conquest is every member of the public (yes, even cis-het white men - they suffer even if they are on the authority’s side) not just African Americans, but I appreciate a middle finger to authorities. Some countries outright outlaw depictions of violence against authority figures like police officers. Everyone needs to learn that resisting cruelty is not only okay, it’s imperative.
