You’re doing better than I am.

I know people. We get along. But friends? Nope.

My 13 yo son finally got to see the big dipper this summer. I feel ashamed.

It should be Xbox Parallel X|S

~Because electricity runs in series or parallel. /s~

Yeah, I’m starting to realize this via my research. This is very disappointing (but not surprising).

What a waste.

Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @[email protected]. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).

It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.

Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊

Yeah unfortunately that didn’t change anything. I enabled it, and restarted LibreWolf and it still won’t connect. Thing is, it keeps trying to upgrade the connection to HTTPS, so I disabled HTTPS-Only Mode and that won’t even work. I’m open to other suggestions.

Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!

The people writing the laws know exactly what they’re doing. Also, the people writing the laws are not necessarily the people passing the laws.

Lobbyists often will write laws, and then wine and dine lawmakers to pass them.

I was making a joke about how the email was dated back in August 2025, and how it’s being posted now (for April Fool’s Day). The comparison being that the email talked about waiting on IPv6 adoption since 1998.

But you’re right that using IPv4 locally makes sense. Ain’t no way I’m trying to remember a 128-bit address.

Kinda like ipv6 adoption, huh?

HTML or XML? If XML, you can use the built-in plutil in Terminal. If not, ignore me. 😊

You can thank Roblox for this shit.

This is good for when the hardware is purchased second hand, or has become obsolete in the future.

I have an iPad I’m still holding onto with the hopes that one day it’ll be Linux worthy.

So yeah, buying new Mac hardware for linux doesn’t make sense. But that’s not the only use case.

This right here. Constantly nagging them about something they are ashamed of will only make them more resistant to help.

It’s real fucking simple: let people turn it on if they want to use it (any feature, not just ai), and let everyone else leave it disabled by default. The fact that they have to poll users for what they want shows how tone deaf they are to begin with.

Edit:

Also:

The company argues that users should decide how AI shows up in their digital lives, rather than having it embedded automatically across products.

This is a lie. How many times I get that stupid AI summary on search results.

As is a lot of other countries. It’s a growing trend that should alarm everyone.

And countries like Russia, North Korea, and China should all serve as examples of what happens when ruling parties get their way.

The point isn’t whether it’s needed or not. It’s not about space or features. The point is that a major player made a design decision and bucked the system. And while there may still be some phones with audio jacks, the majority of mainstream phones don’t. That major player is still successful, and other companies followed suit.

Can we agree this is what should happen to HDMI. No?

🤦‍♂️

There would be uproar, but like the audio jack on phones people would come around. All it would take is one big enough company to pull it off, and the rest would follow.

This wouldn’t work to scale. If Valve paid to license the spec for the Linux kernel, it would have to pay for every person who downloaded the driver, which is far more than the amount of people who buy the Steam Cube.

Unless of course you’re suggesting that the kernel driver for the new spec become closed source.
