  • Hi, yes its me, I am a won't pay-er. Canceled Netflix the 2nd time in a year they jacked rates. Canceled Spotify the 2nd time in a year that they jacked rates. Canceling Hulu and D+ at the end of this month. I used to torrent everything before Netflix and when Hulu was free, started paying because it was cheap and easy to see all the shows I wanted. Now streaming is just as bad and cable plans used to be so I am setting up my new seedbox now and its cheaper to pay for the premium seedbox + stream from Jellyfin and I can get back to seeing all my shows that fractured off in to streaming services I didn't pay for.

    Honestly I am impressed at how far seedbox services have come, they are almost totally plug and play, very little configurations needed

  • This sounds like an excellent use of time and money for the military. Right up there with sending troops to LA to stand around and watch protests, but not to TX to help with search and rescue. Because lives don't matter only control matters.

  • AI bots use existing search engines to get results, it just that the results are now told to you like a conversation instead of a list of links. LLM bots are not search engines and these AI companies are not building search engine bots, they are LLM bots that generate predictive text based on already existing search engines that actually do the indexing. They wouldn't work at all if it wasn't for Google and Bing. The referral source may have changed but the SEO strategy is still the same.

  • its all of them, this is just a list of all the R's in congress.

  • Loved my steam controller, just like all the best stuff it took some configuration to get it perfect, but once it was set up it was the best controller. I am firmly a fan of configuring my stuff to work the way I want to use it, not adapting to how someone else thinks I may use something.

  • Totally forgot about Drupal and Joomla for CMSs. Its been along time for me since I have worked on a Drupal site, but I do remember it being pretty easy to pick up.

  • If you want to host it on your own webserver, Wordpress is best answer. There is no CMS that will really compare to WP for ease of set up and configuration if you are hosting yourself. WP is also portable so if you do decide to move it to a different host you can port the whole site. Should know that WP is a security nightmare if its not kept updated. It requires ACTIVE maintenance, like every day, no longer than every week, it is not "set it and forget it".

    Editing to add- self hosted Drupal and Joomla are also options. I not as familiar with these as I am WP, but they are both portable and easy to set up in a self hosted environment. Also maybe slightly less of a security issue than WP as they are just used less.

    If you don't mind someone else hosting, Wix, Weebly, Duda or Squarespace are very simple systems that can get a site up for you quickly and looking decent. But you cannot move the site to a new host, you are required to stay within their environments.

  • On tiktok a single person can give more than one like.

  • If anyone ever wondered what "made America great", it was the government provided social services in the 40's and 50's that silent generation set up for their children which led to the economic growth that the boomers enjoyed which they then turned around killed so their children and children's children could not have the same advantages.

  • If it makes you feel better, it will never be the same as it was when you first played. Every time there is a xpac that looks interesting I have tried and failed to get that feeling back. It devolves very quickly into feeling like a job again.

  • I bet WoW runs like a dream on that machine 😂

  • I don't have a guild to host for anymore, but I used to host one years ago and it was solid as a rock. I am glad mumble is still going strong

  • I am on a 6 year old computer playing 10 year old games. I don't see a need to upgrade anytime soon.

  • 'You felt you could disregard it?'

    Narrator: He did.

  • Its been ages for me, so I may be incorrect now. I think the chat is not persistent and I am pretty sure there is no channels. Its most definitely not set up how discord is where its more of a chat client that has voice rather than a voice client that has chat.

  • man I wish mumble had a better interface and a chat function, it could real FOSS competition with Discord, but the lack of a chat feature is holding it back

  • I'm still new but enjoying dbzer0. I heard of it because someone said that lemmy.world blocks its pirate community, so of course I had to sign up there immediately.

  • Welp, it worked we got em. The nation is now safe from this Midwestern mom who smoked pot once. Good job everyone

  • God forbid you offer to PAY for access to works that people create like everyone else has to. University students have to pay out the nose for their books that they "train" on, why can't billion dollar AI companies?
