~70TB, ~2500 movies, and ~250 series with , varying quality, I’m still trying to replace lower quality stuff with better versions

I thought that the earth rotated in reverse because from his perspective that is what time did, run in reverse?

Anytime shareholders are involved you know it’s going to be shit.

15 years or so, we only got together about four years ago. In the mean time we hated each other for a while due to misunderstandings, but now we’re beyond awesome together

I want to think here that this is more about not knowing about licenses than malice.

They did open it.

If open source developers can now keep the tax code updated, you’re all golden

This sort of misinformation can be the reason to push a country into civil war. Hundreds, I’d not thousands could die as a result.

It’s an extremely hostile action that should be responded to in kind. People pushing these false narratives without clear evidence should be jailed for years, if not life. Muskrat should be jailed for life.

Whenever I hear some famous American talk about how they weee gh good guys and that they want to be the good guys again…

You never were the good guys, its just now for the first time that Americans really too suffer the consequences of their shitty leadership.

The US funded and directed a dictator to come to power in Iran, which directly caused current theocracy

Same for Chile same for Nicaragua same for…

The US always has been the evil one, it’s just that it was slightly less evil than the USSR and it gave it’s citizens slightly more rights and it treated its allies well.

THAT is what’s gone now. Allies are now treated like enemies, and citizens are now being fucked, and it’s rapidly becoming more evil than the USSR ever was.

The US always has been evil

On a side note: Well controlled capitalism is great for everyone and can be the power source for a huge socialist system, see Finland, the Netherlands. Unbridled capitalism gets you the shit in the US. You were warned, ma y many times, you k ew this would happen and didn’t care. That is what changed, now you have out of control billionaires. You have a choice: go like France a few hundred years ago, or become slaves. I’d you want to be a slave, that’s fine, that’s your choice, but don’t force that fate onto the test of the world

Again: switch to Linux already, use Libre Office or if you have to, google docs. Heck, install onlyoffice if you want it self hosted online, anything but Microsoft

Microsoft, Nestle, Alphabet, meta, all Elmo musk companies, Oracle, Rogers, Disney, all AI companies, all private equity companies, all gambling companies, all US health care insurrection companies

Not necessarily in order, just pick any

And there is no way that anyone could have predicted that.

Right?

Nah, don’t. It’s just a well known spammer that was here for a little bit. I’ve gotten one or two messages from the account, that’s all

Using Linux,i just got an Xtb drive, set it up with btrfs, then with a little bit of scripting that took less than an hour i setup automated daily incremental backups using copy on write method.

I can see backups on a per day basis for years back now

Stay at least 100 miles from any border

Good luck with that. In the US, international airports are considered borders so you’d need to stay away 100 miles from just about everywhere

There will be a last time we do something in our lives for everything

Yeah but don’t worry; Reddit will do something stupid again soon so more users will leave for places like Lemmy until that place is pure AI hell

Are there US open source projects?

Happier, maybe. My dad is an okay guy but they weren’t happy together, my mom wanted out of the marriage for decades. Financially I’m so far behind, it’s not even close.

No.

I’ve seen a lot of these complaints and it’s never about just a woman being in media. acting as if it is, is disingenuous and plain lying

People complain when changes are made for bullshit reasons, like virtue signalling. The problem becomes that a mobile company just switches someone’s race to whatever is darker, they’ll switch a character from male to female, and tadaaaahhh, we have a great product now, so let’s cut investments in writing, good actors, food producers and the end result it shit, yet we’re supposed to somehow cheer it because the main character is now an <insert minority group>

Take Ariel, the mermaid. The character who was known to be white with red hair was swapped to a black actress and the resulting product was shit. It ws shit not because of the character being black, but because the movie was a cheap cash grab using virtue signalling to make people care.

It can be done right when, you know, its not done for virtue signalling. Take battlestar Galactica. Starbuck was change to a woman and holy crap, did they kick it out of the park. The actress was awesome, the writing (mostly) was awesome, the production was awesome.

Too many times I’ve been told that some movie must be great because it’s against patriarchy and its just dog shit. If you want to “battle the patriarchy” then just make a good damn movie or show, I’ll watch it. I will NOT waste my time watching a shitshow just because “it has more women in it!!” I don’t care, just make it good

It’s the typical “in the flag ship for my minority, yay! Also, fuck that other minority”

How about we just respect and equally support ALL minorities, or hell, ALL groups, depending on the situation?

Jews aren’t bad, Palestinians aren’t bad. Extremists are bad, whether they’re on the Palestinians or Jewish camps. Palestinians currently have more of a point to be extremist, of course, but the extremism isn’t helping anyone.

Its alla diversion.

Find some group that is different, then shit on them and make them look bad publicly while this relatively small group can’t so much to talk back publicly.

It’ll outrage the public, they’ll start looking at the group while trump and Co then go and rob the state blind while no one is looking
