Imgurians are an odd bunch but I’m glad they’re anti Nazi.

I only had a few users and a couple of TBs so I did it manually, only took an hour or so but there are ways to automate it.

Switched my users to Jellyfin this spring when Plex first announced this move, pretty seamless transition.

I actually prefer Jellyfin and it’s UI compared to the new one Plex rolled out on Roku, what a mess that is to navigate now.

And yet that is the answer I most relate with.

Only to fuck it.

Same. My only use is accidental.

Guess I’m should get around to disabling it.

Stupidly malicious. Money is the main motivator and we’ve seen Trump do the dumbest shit to make it in the past, Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump Bibles etc.

Repeatedly crashing the economy in order to short it is right up his alley.

In a rational market that still adhered to fundamentals, sure. We are in the meme market era and have been for at least half a decade.

Companies like GameStop that should have went extinct years ago are still running purely off delusion.

Trump and his circle have to be making billions shorting the market with this tariff sham he’s running every month.

There’s nothing else that makes sense and he’s going to play this yoyo tariff game as long as it keeps moving markets. Only way it might stop is if one of these controlled dips gets away from him and the bottom falls out of the market completely.

Depends on how much it cost. Looks like a nice light lunch if the price was right.

Wow that was a great read. Leif comes across as very perceptive on multiple fronts here.

Unfortunately I think his warning about the internet ending up like “souped up TV” is looking more likely by the day.

Right now it’s quite easy to force a site or service to bend the knee to outside pressure. No matter how right or wrong that pressure is. People will go after hosting and ISPs, if that doesn’t work they’ll tie people up directly in the courts. You must provide real contact info and be willing to play ball if you operate on the old web.

Embracing encryption is the only thing I can think to do to avoid that. Which honestly kind of sucks, because while true anonymity would save sites like Omegle who act in good faith and police themsevles in a reasonable manner, others that don’t will also be protected. I think the pros out weigh the cons with anonymity but that is a hard pill to swallow for many.
