I really don't understand lemm.ee policy here. Hexbear is clearly a SPAM instance, but because they spam under the guise of leftist principles we're just gonna let it slide. If explodingheads was this active and this toxic they would be de-federated 100%. Hexbear users brigade and spam every thread including this one. Being actively hostile, launching bad faith arguments. Don't engage with these turds, just block and move on. We NEED instance blocking or lemmy is fucking toast.

At 21 hours old, this lemm.ee meta post has 1123 comments and 3/4ths of the comments are from hexbear users. They brigade every thread with their non sense and it is impacting lemmy in a very negative way. We wouldn't be having this discussion if it wasn't. I don't really like defederation if it was a tool to silence ideology but what hexbear users do is not really debate ideology and more aggressive in your face bad faith argument trolling. This is a spam instance that should be treated as such. Block it.

Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They're down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn't fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It's also one of the most recommended Lemmy's with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

The USA debt to China is, I think, part of foreign policy. It keeps China at the table and they'll never be able to break from globalism/the west cleanly because of it. If they ever invaded Taiwan, which I don't think is likely, the USA would wipe all foreign debt to China as part of the sanctions package. You have to play nice (nice enough) if you want your money back.

I remember seeing a tweet of his saying he just saw it and it was garbage. It was then I got really excited because I knew it was gonna be good. Boy howdy I was right, Wife and I loved the movie so we went back the 2nd Saturday. In 20 years of being with my wife, she has NEVER agreed to see a movie twice in theater. Still can't get the songs out of my head. If you guys loved Barbie check out Ladybird kind of quirky coming of age film by the same director!

From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You'll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it's dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I've been using for a few months now on my laptop and it's fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.

Here is the solution you are looking for: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200890058-authentication-for-local-network-access/

Basically you can add IPs (such as your local domain) to bypass authentication. The only caveat is that you must be online when you set this. IE: You can't do it during an outage.

Its like the old adage, you can't get something that is Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick two.

Jellyfin is free, but requires a more technical set up and does lack some minor features that Plex has and client availability is not as good (No Xbox/Playstation apps as far as I know). On the other hand Plex has a more feature rich product that is just that, a product. Plex Pass is not required, but it is very useful for server owners. It's a tough sell to most people, and as a lifetime Plex pass holder, I would say the lifetime pass is the only one worth getting. Going month to month or evenly yearly is a huge waste of money.

Speaking very broadly here, I define conservatism as needing an out of power group to shame/ostracize. Looking at Japan, 98% of the population is ethnically Japanese. 2% is immigrants. Hell I bet most of the people reading this already know the Japanese word for outsider without me even having to say it. It's a lock that Japanese conservatives are every bit as shitty as English or American conservatives.

Dan Stevens is taking over the role of Corvo, they put out a short video with the recast last month https://youtu.be/IyTANvYnbD8

They'll let old.reddit sit around for a little while longer because of the push back they got from API changes. But I suspect by this time next year it'll be gone too and we'll get another wave leaving reddit.

Shh!!! lemm.ee is slow and overloaded, no need to register here. 👀
