Obligatory “OrDeR cRaCkEr BaRgLe!!1!” meme reference.

Here’s a logo comparison of old to be, because the article didn’t for it for some reason:

Web site this image comes from.

Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don’t realize it’s him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.

This brings up another facet: when it comes to ideological biases it’s all subjective.

I consider lemmy.world slightly left of center overall, but again with important caveats that some communities within it are pretty left wing and some are pretty right wing. But maybe to someone pretty far on the left of the political spectrum the instance seems very right wing, while to someone pretty far to the right it seems like almost everyone are ‘rabid pinko commies’.

Basically, things are more complicated than they may look.

This probably sounds like a dodge of an answer, but…

It depends on the Lemmy instance. Some are anarchistic, some are very left wing anti-establishment, some are hardcore tankies, and I’ve heard somewhere there’s a right-wing instance? Some hate certain technologies, some love those technologies, etc.

I don’t think it’s realistic to lump all Lemmy instances (and users) together under a single ideological umbrella. That’s like lumping everyone from America or any other county together for their opinions.

Bingo.

“B-but everyone is leaving California!!1!”

To the people saying this: yeah, dream on. Step away from the hard right-wing media and look around. It’s a myth.

Yes there are some people leaving the state for places like Texas and Florida (sorry, but fuck knows why!). But there are still a ton of people here in CA, there are still people moving here, and there are still kids being born here. We are a loooong easy from a mass exodus of economy crippling proportions.

They hate us because they ain’t us.

Spoiler alert: it was the main clown college in the Roman empire.

But seriously, that’s interesting.

I’m middle aged.

Yeah that was my assumption because he looks middle-aged to me. Found out after I wrote that he’s like 35? How the fuck can you look that haggard when you’re a 30-something content creator raking in the money from your parents’ basement!

It’s the natural progression for a 20-something piece-of-shit gamer edgelord. When he hits middle age he pivots into being a miserable racist piece-of-shit bore.

Photoshop as in the general concept of editing photos? Sure. There are a lot of decent tools out there, including for mobile devices.

Photoshop as in use the proprietary Photoshop UI? Probably not.

I get the feeling there was a lot of other shit boiling away under the surface here, and the hot sauce argument was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

They could probably use some of that thermal energy to power lighting that would grow some veggies and other low-resource plants. Although they probably aren’t set up for that today.

Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.

Cybertruck drivers.

ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn’t care (or still fanboi’d over him).

Awesome, thanks for the tips!

I started down the Jellyfin path after they made that announcement. It’s super easy to install, and in many ways the UI is nicer than Plex. But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN. And I haven’t had the time to look into that further.

Would be great if there was a clean, easy way to set up the webserver portion so it’s as easy to share content entirely as Plex. But I get they are a volunteer project with a lot on their plate.

Yup. There’s plenty of blame to go around on this one.
