  • When I've used Prime Video before it worked flawlessly in Firefox with ublock, but that was on a laptop

  • He has always changed personalities ever since the first regeneration in the 60s

  • It is hilariously appropriate that US Service Members often identify with The Empire and have on occasion flown Empire flags on bases

  • This is an enterprise drive, so it's useful for any usecase where a business needs to store a lot of lightly used data, like historical records that might be accessed infrequently for reporting and therefore shouldn't get be transfered to cold storage.

    For a real world example, the business I'm currently contracting at is legally required to retain safety documentation for every machine in every plant they work in. Since the company does contract work in other people's plants that's hundreds of PDFs (many of which are 50+ page scans of paper forms) per plant and hundreds of plants. It all adds up very quickly. We also have a daily log processes where our field workers will log with photographs all of their work every single workday for the customer. Some of these logs contain hundreds of photographs depending on the customer's requirements. These logs are generated every day at every plant so again it adds up to a lot of data being created each month

  • It's not unrealistic that a billionaire staring down the rest of his life in prison would choose to go out on their own terms. It's also ultimately unknowable for any of us normies exactly what went down in that cell, but don't discount the possibility that he simply chose to off himself rather than deal with all of the unpleasantness he had to look towards

  • There's people trying to push AI counselors, which if AI Councilors can't spot obvious signs of suicidal ideation they ain't doing a good job of filling that job

  • SearX is pretty sweet honestly

  • Really any musical, especially one that hits that "I maybe shouldn't be watching this" is a good option. Maybe Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog? Probably too young for Sweeney Todd

  • I played Minecraft as a teenager when it was in Beta (you can do the math for my rough age based on that) and I took my kids to see it as a fun family outing. It was a fun kids movie, and it was wild hearing the Minecraft soundtrack in the theatre lobby, but honestly while I'm glad I saw it in the theatre, it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to see again. My kids however have watched it multiple times since it's hit streaming

  • Calm down there Calculon!

  • So many parents don't realize kids can listen to grownup music. My daughter sings so much Greenday, and while it's a little awkward hearing her start singing "I was sober now I'm drunk again"

  • That's been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can't justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife's accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don't give in to pushiness like that by tech companies

  • SpaceX had a brilliant track record for safety with their novel reusable rocket boosters. Even the first couple of Starship prototypes were incredibly successful, massively exceeding mission goals.

    Unfortunately Musk seems to have entirely lost the sauce and is killing all of his companies, diving into conspiracy nonsense while funding an incredibly unpopular election campaign, gutting the federal government and tanking the economy by single-handedly raising the national unemployment rate through expensive and unnecessary layoffs. And during that same time Starship has become incredibly unreliable with prototypes not only failing to reach orbit but even exploding on the pad before attempting liftoff.

    Meanwhile competitors are popping up around the world trying to recreate SpaceX's falcon rocket boosters, and many are starting to achieve success. Musk could have owned space but instead gestures wildly at everything and nothing in particular

    Musk should have stepped down from all of his companies about 5-10 years ago and let them continue on without him. Maybe he'd run a funky tiny/manufactured home startup to try to "disrupt housing" or an online healthcare startup to try to "disrupt healthcare" or maybe he'd be running a drone startup to "disrupt warfare" or maybe he'd just sail off into the sunset impregnating as many women as he can convince to carry his kids while shitposting away on twitter. We can only dream only such an alternate reality

  • I've encountered some unexpected transcodes or playback failures that seem to stem from app compatibility problems. Most TV/streaming stick apps for Jellyfin are maintained by only 1-2 volunteers so you can get some funky bugs given the enormous number of possible combinations of codecs, server settings, client hardware configurations and client versions even for just a single TV/streaming device platform

  • All of the books are worth reading! Start with the short stories then move onto the longform books. There's also a collection of Audible rips floating around the high seas too that are quite high quality. Also for how much of a reputation the brand has for salaciousness, the books are actually quite tame most of the time, and some of the stories are clearly inspired by the same source material as many of the classic Disney princess movies.

    Honestly I also thoroughly enjoyed all of the Netflix media for The Witcher too. Blood origin was a fun prequel, and the animes do a good job of giving kind an alternate approach to the series that's equally good.

  • Came here to share that. The beast was cursed to be a beast while raping a preistess, and eventually learned that women actually had more interest in sleeping with him as a beast than they ever did when he was human

  • I worked in a bank for a bit. Literally any transaction that's large and unusual for the account will be flagged. Also people do bonkers things with their money for the stupidest reasons all the time so all that one has to do if they're making large transactions is be prepared to talk to the bank and explain what's going on.

    Unless of course you are handling money in relation to organized crime, in which case you were fucked the moment the money touched the banking system

  • Lifting seems like effort without the fun of a game.

    The fun is in learning your muscles, feeling them shift and move as you put new strain on them and ultimately improving. Any metric you can track for improvement gives you a big source of pride when you hit a new milestone. Maybe it's more reps. Maybe it's a bigger weight with the same number of reps. Maybe it's a new more difficult exercise you can do. Maybe you're aiming to join a local competition. There's always a goal to work towards and you can watch your body get better as you work on it. There's incredible magic in knowing the control you have over your body's shape, and suddenly being able to join in races or competitions that you might have used to be annoyed by how they get in your way.

    I've gone big into biking. I started out struggling to make it around the block (which includes a big hill because where I live there really isn't any flat surfaces to bike on) and last week I hit 12 miles in one go, and that's including quite a few hills, some I powered up standing on the pedals, and some I powered through going as slowly as I needed and just continuing to pedal and push through. Every week or two I can achieve a new best for the season or even a new personal best, and that's just tracking distance. I could instead focus on increasing my average speed. Or I could download an app where I race other people on the same route in virtual time trials.

  • Dude, I picked up biking last season and on Monday I biked a new personal best of 12 very hilly miles without a rest. I decided literally the night before to join a local 4th of July 5k without any training (literally said "I can bike 12 miles, what's running 3? Those are similar enough muscles!" and I've been riding the high since because my leg muscles are still all sore and tight in all of the wonderful "I pushed my limits and achieved something!" kind of ways that make me feel so alive!
