After watching a Jackson galaxy video on how to stop your cat from waking you up early, I followed the advice of never feeding immediately after getting up, and instead doing a certain activity first, like making coffee. After a month of taking a shower before feeding, my cat no longer makes any noise in the morning and only starts getting noisy when I step out of the shower. So thats a good tip for those who can't free feed. I also started collecting every toy and putting them in a secure box before bed since she has a tendency to chase toys around in the middle of the night and yelp with one in her mouth.

Convincing people to vote to get it funded is literally the point of posts like this. It's called grassroots outreach.

HBO Max was the last service I still had before I fully committed to the high seas, for similar reasons. Removing Westworld before many people were even finished with the newest season was the final straw. There's nothing on any streaming service that I haven't been able to get in the same quality through *arr apps onto my Plex, including usually HDR and 5.1 now that I have rules set up to upgrade to those when available.

I think the main point of replacing sms with rcs is that it would be the default preinstalled carrier-agnostic-protocol messaging app on everyone's phones. If signal could be preinstalled and be an open platform instead of using centralized servers then I think that would achieve the same thing. But because it isn't, it can't be the lowest common denominator that everyone falls back to if you and someone else don't have the same messaging app preferences.

Right now, you can say "use signal" all you want, but if you make a friend who isn't interested in installing a messaging app, you have to fall back to sms. Rcs is just about making a better fallback option that people won't refuse to download because it's ubiquitous and supported by even the default preinstalled messaging apps.

No she wasn't. The name matches because the article and picture are both about the person who missed out on the scholarship because of the twerking video, but she still wasn't the person twerking in the video.

"[She] was seen dancing at a private homecoming afterparty on September 30 behind a friend who was twerking"

The person you're replying to is pointing out that they aren't showing the picture of someone who was twerking because her scholarship was revoked for being next to someone who was twerking.

They said we were at least a few years out from a performance upgrade, but a refresh could involve other things like nicer screen, battery, hall effect joysticks, etc. So they could still preserve the same performance target and still release a premium version in the meantime.

For me the math worked out that it was cheaper to get a nuc with quick sync than to pay for the extra storage h264 uses, it's less than half the bitrate (usually ~2Mbit for 1080 compared to 8+), I have 23TB of content and my Intel nuc power efficiently transcodes to h264 on demand if the device needs it.

I use both plex and jellyfin and my files are on a nas. Previously truenas but now synology. I just mount my collection over smb to my Intel nuc with quick sync so that Plex/jellyfin can provide me and my friends a slick UI as well as transcoding (can store stuff in hevc, flac, 5.1 or 7.1 dts hd ma and not worry about codec support on each device), a nice web player with subtitles /audio track selection, and nice apps on every device to access the collection.

But yeah NAS and jellyfin aren't mutually exclusive, many people use them together.

I think you'll want to minimize using one battery to charge the other since that would cause more losses, so my vote is on keeping the SD full by playing off the external then continuing with the internal battery once the external is empty. That way most/all power goes directly from battery to being consumed.

Not wanting to use any app that goes to a google server for a lemmy app is being privacy focused. Telling other people their preference in not valuing the same thing is wrong is elitism - saying that no app should do something, and nobody else should use an app that does that thing, because you prefer it that way - that's elitism.

Sync and the people who like it aren't invalid just because your preference is being privacy focused.

Along the same lines, it's totally possible to espouse the values of privacy to others without being elitist, as long as you aren't talking down to other people or invalidating other people's preferences, because that's elitism.

I also have this mug, I got it as a gift and immediately recognized it as one of those designs that gets hawked all the time by merch spammers on reddit so I checked and the only place you can buy it from that isn't a redbubble-style site (where anybody can upload stolen designs to print on demand) - or a sketchy site that only sells a single item - seems to be lookhuman, so I assume it's their design.

This is a common design for merch bots to hawk, but I believe the original is from lookhuman, at least every other site that has it is one of those "anyone can register and print on demand any stolen design a la redbubble". I got a mug of this from lookhuman.
