Legislation is always years behind tech.

Aaaaand this is why I didn’t move my podcasts to Google Podcasts.

The headline made me think the dev gave up on his huge Skyrim mod set and said Skyrim is trash.

Where consumers and employees have rights.

A dark elf (drow) actually, but I totally agree it’s the most ridiculous example of episode deletion.

I’ve never heard of Syncthing, I use Keepass on Windows and my Android, syncing to Dropbox. If I change to Syncthing is it an easy swap, anything I should watch out for?

I do the same, but synced to Dropbox from computers and phone.

I have the Proton password manager as well but not sure yet if I’ll do a full swap over.

I get a lot of value out of Netflix, I watch tons of their shows every month.

I use Prime quite a bit also obviously for Amazon shopping and try to watch Prime Video a few times each month, and now they’ve expanded the music I’ll try that too.

I will be canceling Disney and just pirate what I want to see, which isn’t much, literally just one show.

E: I canceled Spotify ages ago and use their free version but for my favorite bands I downloaded their MP3 discographies. I buy their music on CD because it pays them better than streaming their songs thousands of times, plus I buy merch and go to the concerts so I’m OK with that.

E2: someone mentioned Patreon, I cancelled most of those as well because my gaming group broke up and all my patreons are for gaming 3D files. I have years worth of stuff to print and will never reach the end.

I prefer presidents that aren’t criminals.

That is the “monkey mind” that meditating can help calm.

Definitely don’t count your books and multiply by 30 or so…

You’re absolutely correct, but a bicycle tideuor bus trip or train journey is also a feeling of freedom, too. Reframing ‘freedom’ so people don’t feel they have to get a $70,000 crew cab pickup to drive to the bar or store is the thing.

Thanks, that is super helpful!

Now I can finally try Lemmy. Haven’t been on Reddit for ages and Lemmy is all new to me.

Can anyone recommend a primer/beginner post for starting to use Lemmy?
