Honestly I thought memes had kinda run their course, i didn’t know there were new ones even, lol.

Hey if it’s fun, that’s great. Kinda was looking for an idea for an app. This might be an interesting one. What features would make a great one?

People save memes? Today I learned…

This is bizarre. My friends wouldn’t want random interruptions throughout the day and neither do I.

Follow? I don’t follow anyone, that seems so shallow …

Edit: but to be fair, we all like different things. Foss is about scratching you own itch, so if you feel you want an app like this (seems easy enough to do) you can always make it yourself.

I had plex for a decade or more, but I added Jellyfin last year. They both are running on the same server and point to the same media stack. No problem.

In general, I prefer Jellyfin. Now I prefer it even more.

Yeah, I was just joking around, surprised people took it that seriously. I mean if there are ads, I am getting paid either way…

I noticed that the best of the educational and instructional videos, particularly from the companies using it for training and demonstration have turned off ads anyways. Youtube is not quite yet forcing ads on everyone are they?

Uh, if it’s work:

A. Shouldn’t you be working?

Or

B. Ads while I get paid, doesn’t seem too bad.

C. Principle of the matter dammit!

I find it interesting that: maybe 5 to 10 years ago that intersection rarely happened. Most people I know didn’t use reddit, and the few that I think did would never talk about it. Anonymity is a good thing. That, and for a lot of people Reddit was the hard mode of online interaction.

You are saying, regulations will fix this? Politicians create the regulations, the fines, and enforcement.

Political parties are running on platforms of deregulation right now.

In this day and age they should expect you to bring your own device. But they should also not expect you to install any of their software on your device. You simply remote to their machine. They keep it locked down, you get to use your own equipment for all the things you like (music, your personal email, internet, etc).

Or your tasks should be set up so you can do your work using a web browser (in a container - thanks Firefox) and call it a day.

I use Linux for everything and just remote into the works computers to do theirs. I am happy with that. When I went to another country recently I only brought a Steam Deck and was able to do all the work I needed to do.

As long as it isn’t my computer, I don’t care.

I remote to all our windows machines from my Linux box which is fine with me. They can lock down their computer, I am just supposed to use what they give me. They pay me, they put the malware on their own machines, so… whatever.

This is their choice not to configure it correctly. You can set up Azure RDP and use Remmina as a front end to FreeRDP or just FreeRDP by itself.

Also why are they using a browser “client”? That is also an odd configuration. You don’t need a special client. I use Firefox on Linux (with a container - love those) to connect to the Azure Desktops.

I do all my windows work from a Linux machine. Recently I traveled to another country and did all my clients Windows (Azure remote desktops) work from a Steam Deck (Arch linux), lol.

Nice to know it is a pleasant disagreement. But seriously, this is not social media.

• Posting other peoples content instead of their own

• Anonymity over identifiable.

• Its not better filtering, it is distinct categories and communities, just like forums.

• Persistent over breaking news.

• There are no (or few) personal updates or status reports.

• There is little to no social networking which is the hallmark of social media, like twitter, Linked In, Facebook, etc.

I am still active in several forums. They are great and have even more of a sense of community them they used to. People talk about the subject and even meet in person around the world.

I also host a forum for a different group. No ads either cause fuck that shit.

I gotta say no. This is more like a collection of forums. There really is no following, no social aspect other than discussing the topic at hand. I am not promoting myself, I prefer annonymity over identifying myself. I do not think this counts as social media at all.

Open media vault is the distribution I would use. No gui install at all. Everything can be managed in a web browser on another computer.

You will have more than enough ram for plex. Or jellyfin if you ever decide to give it a try. I run both. Plex has the advantage of being really simple for external access.

Use docker for the install and run plex in a container. Its easier than you would think. Lookup plex install docker or docker compose. Open media vault supports containers now. There are videos that can show you how.

As for the cpu. The biggest benefit is likely power savings. I upgraded recently from an old cpu to a newer one recently and went from 60 watts to 10, AND passive cooling which means it’s near silent.

AdNauseam

Note that AdNauseam no longer recommends Firefox

Sigh. I believe this is simply because of the removal from Firefox mobile

LOL, so what? I used to never give disney money. I don’t now. But I didn’t used to too.

Seriously, why the fuck do people pay the mouse?

And before you all yell ARRRRR. Nope. No need to ARRRR. There is so much entertainment and diversion out there, take away all their IP and it still doesnt matter.

I never notice the ads. Always surprised when people mention them. They are there I guess?

Interesting about the code. Not allowed on Roku?

Well yeah, that because its Reddit app, but who uses that? Shame what they did to Alien Blue, that was fantastic for the time.

I guess you are saying those things could be annoying, but the only feature I saw that Sync had over say Jerboa was peeking. I am thinking it is just familiarity for a lot of people.
