If I remember correctly, people assumed that Wheeler had a deep hatred in his heart for the cable company oligopoly in America which stonewalled his company/invention from taking root in the states. A brief look at his wiki page seems to tell some of that story, calling the Nabu Network “the internet, 10 years ahead of its time”. Imagine if you essentially invented the internet, the cable companies prevented your invention from coming to fruition, and then someone went and implemented it on phone lines instead shortly after.

There’s more to the story than just cable oligopoly rat fucks, including technical and arbitrary limitations of the technology, compared to the standardized open web we know.

Meanwhile, this guy is a straight up conservative hatchet man installed to damage and destabilize. He holds no grudges against the folks enriching him.

It do be like that sometimes.

It’s also an extremely long shot, isn’t it? Trying to convince people that old people won’t complain about things, and that they trust the government. That’s about as likely as trying to convince a Republican that they want a Tesla.

Our only saving grace is that they’re reeeally dumb sometimes.

It looks like as long as the host has a Plex pass, this doesn’t change much. It is a regression of service, which sucks, but there are viable alternatives for those unable or unwilling to pay. And honestly, jellyfin is the clear winner in that case and always has been.

Now, if they start to charge my friends and family for access to my media after I have already paid them for their lifetime subscription, then I’ll grab a pitchfork with the crowd.

Also, why not run both and be ready? The resources required are minimal if you’re running via docker, just some extra RAM and a negligible amount of compute for overhead on library maintenance tasks.

You’re not wrong, but having a specific score of upvoting problematic content feels like a new low.

A social credit score, if you will. Government is gonna love purchasing this on the cheap. Hell, maybe they already have.

I got one like that too, his nickname is WAP. Certified freak…

That honestly doesn’t sound like a bad mission, but it seems like there’s a couple other requirements they should impose on their mission and then there wouldn’t be any controversy.

They should require that their package works as well as the upstream, and, in the even that it doesn’t, they need to be very blatant and open that this is a downstream package, and support for it will only be provided by Fedora Flatpaks, and that you may have better results with the official packages.

The primary issues in this case is that it doesn’t work, and it’s not been clear to users who to ask for help.

I think you were banned for having an opinion in a thread that asked for it. That this mod decided anyone interacting with that thread at all was grounds for banning, and they will probably feel the same way about this thread.

It doesn’t matter that your opinion was to be as inclusive as possible, and that absolutely nobody objected to it or provided a more inclusive option, you were simply guilty by association.

I would honestly love to see that mod’s opinion on the subject, but that would make them guilty by association as well I suppose.

That mod doesn’t deserve the community they think they represent. That’s not being an ally, that’s being a PTB who is unwilling to put in effort in their “moderation”.

What are you waiting for? Join in. Do you think the winner is gonna stop at destroying America?

Unless that information is public, and therefore internationally available… Yeah, this is definitely going to kill some people. Ironically, the majority are red states too.

I wish I had your optimism. Personally, I feel like the world tends to try to clamp down pretty good on violent activism, and often for understandable reasons. I had hoped this time was different, that this time it was a uniting sentiment despite our many other divides in America. Instead, I often heard my conservative colleagues ironically admonish political violence over the past month.

We can’t seem to agree on a single thing, not even to despise the people killing our friends and family, and robbing us blind.

Won’t tolerate blind alignment with Luigi? Yikes that’s a lot of work, they’re going to have to ban like 1/3 of the entire fediverse.

Like blaze said, both of those are great instances. I will say that I think dbzero’s admin, db0 of course, is more active in the fediverse community, and I tend to find myself agreeing with most of their decisions and stances.

Also, recently db0 has been pushing forward with a lot of initiatives towards user/community feedback and governance, which is refreshing to see. To me, it means they are willing to allow others to hold them ethically accountable, and actively pushing for community mechanisms to allow for that.

Honestly, having voiced this… I need to stop procrastinating on a donation. I spend too much time using instance not to throw them a few dollars for upkeep. db0, keep doing what you’re doing, this random guy appreciates it.
