  • NX-01 Assignment Patch Tattoo

  • There are sizeable number of people who don't like all kinds of things but I don't make it a habit of pointing it out when I see someone with those things permanently etched onto their skin.

  • android customization/theming apps?

  • NX-01 Assignment Patch Tattoo

  • I know it's not what you're asking but I think Okuda did the original design

  • NX-01 Assignment Patch Tattoo

  • lmao why on Earth would you phrase it like that?!?! Just say nice tattoo!

  • The PROBLEM with Capitalism - Smarter Every Day 316

  • That's wild I didn't know that!

  • Anyone know a good Selfhosted yt-dlp manager?

  • When I tried it I got the feeling it's more for people looking to backup/archive entire YouTube channels than those (such as myself) basically just having what is functionally an RSS feed of most recent videos released this week (for example).

    But like I said, it's absolutely great at what it does I just found it waaaay too complicated than the simple "use jellyfin as a YouTube app replacement" I was looking for.

  • The PROBLEM with Capitalism - Smarter Every Day 316

  • Absolutely. The interesting thing to me was the lack of institutional knowledge remaining in the US. For example, finding a machinist based in the US was one of his biggest challenges as most of them have retired. I think he was only able to locate one still in operation that could make the parts he needed.

  • Anyone know a good Selfhosted yt-dlp manager?

  • tubearchivist is great but probably overkill for someone just looking to subscribe and watch with Plex/Jellyfin instead of the YouTube app.

  • The PROBLEM with Capitalism - Smarter Every Day 316

  • I haven't watched this video yet but I heard him talking about this project on a podcast recently and it was really interesting. It's basically impossible to manufacture something simple (and increasingly often, complex things too) in the US at a competitive price. Yes, he made a "better" grill scrubber completely in the USA, but it costs $60. Yes, it's totally BIFL but the market for people willing to pay that is probably not sustainable for anyone without the "free" marketing of a popular YouTube channel.

  • What do you think of Ro's decision?

  • I agree, but the particular Maquis we saw tended to be reactionary and narrow minded. I think it could have been presented as a much better grey area situation like in Journey's End.

  • What do you think of Ro's decision?

  • I always felt like they did a pretty poor job of making the audience feel any significant level of sympathy for the Maquis (assuming that was the goal).

  • Follow up, I've set up Audiobookshelf

  • AudiobookShelf is great. One of the most polished self hosted apps out there and has a lot of great features that are lesser known (like converting to m4a)

  • Has reddit loosened on shadow banning?

  • I love that someone asked you to leave them alone, you were like "actually no means yes", and you view violating consent as "not taking it up the ass".

  • I can't say I disagree

  • Sir this is a website

  • How has the voting quota impacted power users and content creation?

  • There's a contingent of threadiverse users who interpret "anti censorship" to mean "all speech should be permitted, even against other's consent" and view any stifling of that to be immoral.

    My take is that if platforms permit the loudest voices to overwhelm others, you just have censorship of a different flavor. Piefed is taking an interesting approach to that problem and I think it's interesting to watch!

  • Is Mark Zuckerberg Actually TRYING to Destroy Meta?

  • This is just more "if a company isn't growing faster than the S&P500 it's literally dying" logic.

    I have no love for Zuck or Meta but if reality means anything then their stock price is still ridiculously inflated.

  • Low Stakes Cozy Co-op Game Suggestions?

  • True actually it can get quite hectic 😅

  • MKBHD reviewed the Framework 13 Pro and was pleased [Video]

  • The biggest problem with a censorship proof decentralized social media platform is that the instances without moderation inevitably attract the sorts of people that get banned from everywhere else.

  • Why do people host RSS?

  • Pardon my ignorance but isn't that exactly what Inoreader and Feedly do?

    Democrats campaigning on "affordability" are cutting back on their anti-oil rhetoric but they should be focusing on removing the red tape surrounding solar, which could be much cheaper!
