  • Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing?

    Jump

  • Why go through the hassle?

    Set up Jellyfin and use your VPN to fill it with whatever you’re wanting to pay corporate overlords for.

    You’ve paid for the IP already from the years of subscriptions. At this point they’re just draining everyone dry. Stop letting them.

  • The first season is rough.

    Honestly if you kinda skim and get the story points to learn who everyone is and what is generally going on- moving on to the second season without finishing the first is completely reasonable.

    Everyone was trying to work around the actor that played the lead during the first season- he had an unfortunate mental breakdown during filming and was replaced by Bruce Boxleinter for the rest of the show after season 1, but this naturally made everything more difficult for everyone, and the quality suffered temporarily.

    Once you get about 3-4 episodes deep in season 2, you’ll forget all about season 1.

    Leftist purity culture is why there isn’t a bigger leftist movement. The propaganda told you to shoot yourself in the foot and most have never stopped pulling the trigger.

  • The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now)

  • As someone who works with integrating AI- it’s failing badly.

    At best, it’s good for transcription- at least until it hallucinates and adds things to your medical record that don’t exist. Which it does and when the providers don’t check for errors - which few do regularly- congrats- you now have a medical record of whatever it hallucinated today.

    And they are no better than answering machines for customer service. Sure, they can answer basic questions, but so can the automated phone systems.

    They can’t consistently do anything more complex without making errors- and most people are frankly too dumb or lazy to properly verify outputs. And that’s why this bubble is so huge.

    It is going to pop, messily.

  • That propaganda is so addictive, but once you realize you are a victim your eyes will open.

    Admitting you were fooled by your own country’s propaganda is not shameful. Denying it when you know better, is.

  • There would be a lot more informed lemmy liberal users if they would just pick up a book sometime

    Jump

  • I’m saying that attacking the very people most likely to take your side is classic sabotage behavior.

    Doing so only makes sense only from the perspective of someone who wants to ensure no large leftist movement in the west.

    Then attacking, ridiculing, and dog piling on the real leftists that point this out further sabotages any meaningful leftist movement. As already demonstrated here.

  • There would be a bigger leftist movement if the CIA’s saboteurs weren’t so successful at insulting /alienating liberals - which they do deliberately because they know an honest and educated liberal is most likely to become a leftist.

    This is also how to spot a fed in the wild.

    Does the fediverse really have a civility problem and what can we do about it?

    Jump

  • Agree.

    Complaining about civility is the first step toward letting morons rule.

    If one is making foolish or false statements, one should expect to be humiliated. Come back when you are better educated.

    If one is being an asshole for no good reason or making false accusations against another due to losing an argument, they should understand that they are now a legitimate target for everyone to dump on with impunity.

    Being confidently wrong, or an asshole without cause deserves equal or greater consequences to the harm caused. Public shaming via humiliation - aka incivility - is more effective than actual punishment or moderation.

    But wait, there’s more…

    Enabling a genocide- something all the candidates were going to do anyway- is deeply unpopular.

    Supporting Israel at the expense of US citizens isn’t okay under any circumstances or leader. It is time to end this farce; the only folks who don’t listen are the ones being paid not to.

  • They aren’t bootlicking, they’re telling you the fucking truth and you are too thick skulled and poorly educated to understand it… proving their point.

    US citizens elected Trump. They believed the blatant lies despite being told the truth.

    That’s all there is to it.

    We are genuinely so fucking stupid as a society that we (not me- citizens in general) voted to give up all our rights and enable a Hitler wanna be.

    And we are too stupid to understand that all it would take is a couple hundred thousand of us marching into DC and guillotining every member of government that allowed this, then allowing the military to conduct new elections with stricter rules. This process is literally in our constitution. Second amendment.

    Prevent public officials from lying by law, stop lobbying, stop allowing money to matter in politics (no candidate may spend money on advertising of any kind.)

    Each candidate gets one hour on free, live television/streaming to present their campaign. If they lie at any point, they are immediately disqualified. Then there is one debate. Lies are immediately disqualifying from public office here, too.

    That’s it. Simple as can be.

    But US citizens are too stupid.
