I have siblings that are 12 and 10 years older than me and they had my same experience, but okay.

I mean… I’m 29 and grew up being told that everything my parents enjoyed would literally never be a reality for me. I was 14 when the economy crashed in 2008 and 17 when gas prices first started spiking and never went down. I had to take out a $40k loan just for 1 year of university when my parents had the chance to graduate nearly debt-free and use their summer jobs to qualify for a mortgage.

Maybe you’re thinking of Gen X or something, because I really wouldn’t consider 1995-2015 (roughly the time when Millennials were coming of age) a golden era.

A cold plunge is essentially an ice water bath for a human. It’s not food.

Yeah, same here, that’s why I specified that they’re only nice when they work. Often they just don’t work, so Flatpak is better.

I think I’ve landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.

I think this one is more difficult than it sounds.

I think that teens and kids are going to kill themselves because of this regardless of how difficult you think it sounds. I was a trans teen and waiting until I was 18 caused me to attempt suicide. Sure, it was only once, but I could have succeeded if I hadn’t chickened out and didn’t have a therapist at the time. Maybe TMI, but these discussions need to be had, as you say.

Also, puberty blockers are reversible at any time.

Cool, more teen suicides. Probably even pre-teens.

I don’t know anything about Jellyfin as a user but I’ve heard from others Jellyfin and Emby are ready to compete with Plex on a level playing field. Not sure if it’s an exaggerated hype or not. :P

Plex is fine as a whole, it just handles my music library kind of clunkily and doesn’t have much support for organization or dynamic playlists. It’s obviously meant more for movies and shows and that’s why Plexamp exists (which I don’t use).

Whenever I posted on /r/Plex on Reddit, people would comment that I should use another player, but that place is a cesspool with dedicated Plex haters; it’s so weird. Plex does function as a music player, it’s just a bit unfocused (design-wise) and bloated.

When I don’t want to boot up Plex I use mocp, a terminal-based music player, so I’m not in need of a fancy player like Deadbeef, Strawberry, Audacious, MediaMonkey, Musicbee, etc. but they do offer more to the user than Plex does.

I use Plex to play music most of the time (I know, but it works). Do you know if there’s a webhook or script available that would scrobble from Plex to ListenBrainz? I skimmed the list of player integrations and didn’t see anything.

Every time I see the Fedora logo I think of DisplayFusion instead. Windows poisoned my brain. :(

What’s the angle here? He really thinks that a bunch of apathetic Republicans will go out and vote for Trump so that poor wittle Elon won’t have to deal with the consequences of his poor business decisions? So weird. He’s such a nut.

Yeah, that’s why I specifically mentioned dividends. A lot of executives are also paid bonuses on their salaries based on stock performance, so they can “double dip” in these cases too. This is on top of lobbying for deregulation.

Must be great to not have to worry about money and be able to simply fire other people if it ever becomes a concern; it just further goes to show that these people don’t actually add value to even their own companies.

Ah, I see. That’s definitely not my experience; snacks take like 10+ minutes and are usually the reason if I’m late to the show.

Billionaires mean that workers are exploited and underpaid somewhere in the chain. Support for billionaires means support for exploitation and resource extraction from actual workers (and the government initiatives and representatives they pay for).

Their money doesn’t come from nowhere, it comes from us. It comes from income taxes spent on subsidies, it comes from stock dividends paid for by mass layoffs, it comes from not having to pay a commensurate fine when hundreds of thousands of gallons of pollutants leak into the water we drink and fish in.

“Absolutely supporting billionaires” is a decidedly uninformed position.

Welcome to Debian! Listen to @treadful@lemmy.zip, that’s the easy advice.

Has arriving at the specified showtime not worked out for you? Usually that’s enough time for me to get there, use the washroom, get snacks, and sit down before the movie actually starts. But I don’t go to the theatre often or usually see movies when they first come out.

Personally I already do that by only going to the theatre when I’m really excited for a movie, which only happens maybe once a year, or am invited out by my movie-goer friend (maybe twice or thrice a year).

Last thing I saw in theatres was Late Night with the Devil, and before that was Tenet. It’s not hard to wait for a home release.
