Graphics are really good though.

Yeah, I noticed that. Luckily, the YT embedded player has an “add to Watch Later” button (the clock icon). I’ll use the favorites as a fallback for when Google inevitably kills that feature, lol.

This is great! FreshRSS has been part of my YouTube “flow” for a long time. I like going through my subscriptions list, adding them to my “Watch Later” playlist, and then watching them all in a row. This seems like it’d be perfect for that.

It’s no secret to regular readers of this newsletter that I’m still an avid Plex user. Despite the numerous privacy concerns, price increases, and recent (confusing) primary domain redirect from plex.tv to watch.plex.tv, I still find the transition to Jellyfin a hard sell given its fragmentation and smattering of third-party clients that are all good* but not really great (oh, and hello to the Lemmy readers who always roast me for this take)*.

Alright, I’ll spare you then. <3

This is a seriously cool plugin though, and I legitimately loved Plexamp. Plex’s decent really sucks for this community.

Maybe in a modern context, but compared to the movies at the time, it was kinda mind-blowing.

There are a few reasons, but I think this is the the most common. People accept almost anything if it means they can click one less button.

I’ve spent many hours reducing extremely complex things down to a couple simple steps, only to have people say it’s “too hard” because they need to copy-paste a single URL.

Note that they said “audio” jack, not “headphone” jack.

Headphones are but one of many, many different devices you may want to plug your phone into, and a lot of them don’t have Bluetooth. Basically every audio device ever made (except smartphones) uses either a 3.5mm, or 1/4”, or XLR. These are all analog signals that can be easily adapted without needing a DAC, which USB needs.

I cannot decipher this title.

Funny, but the vibration mechanism is actually very different. Whistling uses a very specific shape with your lips creates a vortex of air that creates sound waves (similar to a flute or blowing across a bottle).

Your vocal “cords” (vocal folds is more accurate), make sound by flapping back and forth due to the tension and airflow to which they are subjected. This flapping creates the sound waves (similar to blowing a raspberry or a fart).

So, saying your voice is just a prolonged throat fart is more accurate.

You’ll be playing Unreal Tournament in no time!

This is the best answer. Obviously, relax when you need it, but if you’re bored, start learning. It’s interesting (if by choice), it’s good for your brain, and you can use this lull in your career to build skills that you can use to progress later when opportunities come up.

Plus, if you are learning related skills, your “slacking off” might even still look like working to passers by.

Yes, but having both in place can help mitigate lateral movement risk.

I’m not sure what you’re asking.

I think you’re looking in the wrong places. Culture is everywhere. The mediums and groups of people that propagate culture shift over time, but humans are inherently creative and will always develop it.

Try looking in places where there is a focus on community, connection, and the art itself—not places that focus on producing “content” for profit.

We’d be lucky to even live to see a human on Mars.

That video was… something…

Anyway I love Immich. It’s definitely been on a stable release for a bit, but I think they’re just trying to get the word out. A lot of people seem to think it’s still in alpha.

Personally, I’ve been running the same Immich server for years now, rolling all the way up to the current release and I’ve never had any data loss. I just had to read the patch notes and adjust my docker compose accordingly a couple times.

It’s well worth paying for that supporter badge, btw. I’ve easily gotten more than $100 value out of it.

If you go into self-hosting hating containers, you’re gonna have a bad time.

I have a toddler, and yes, I have accidentally yelled at her in the heat of a meltdown and said things way more harshly than I should have. It’s usually after the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th meltdown of a long day and I finally crack.

However, that’s no excuse. It’s my job as the parent to be emotionally regulated. Children (especially young children) are physically incapable of regulating their emotions, so that is my responsibility to be their missing fully-developed frontal lobe. This is one of many responsibilities you are signing up for having children.

Everyone has their breaking point. We are all human. But as a parent, if you feel yourself at your limit you need to shut your mouth and step away from the situation (if possible) and collect yourself.

I’ll be honest, parenting (correctly) is very difficult, and it’s common to have passing thought or regret when things get really hard. I’ve been there a few times, but I have never, and couldn’t imagine saying something that cruel to my daughter. Even if she was being willfully spiteful or vindictive, I still love her to her core and I am endlessly grateful she is in my life.

I’m not sure how old you are, but my best advice is to try not to take that comment too personally. When she said that, it wasn’t actually about you. It was about her, her choices, and her struggle to manage the consequences of those choices.

Honestly that’s kind of a personal decision—it depends on what criteria is important to you. In my opinion, having a doctor that you feel comfortable with and listens to your needs is the biggest one, but you can only test that out through trial and error, and some people value other traits more.

Most people are limited to the doctors in their area that take the insurance provided by their job, which often narrows down your choices a LOT.

In the USA, (maddeningly) insurance companies are the gatekeepers of healthcare, so work through them. Your health insurance might have a tool on their website to search for doctors that take your insurance, which will save you a lot of time making sure you stay in network.

Otherwise, you should be able to call your health insurance provider and ask them.
