The is no such thing as self made wealth and an insane majprity of it is already being very comfortable and just going full bore.

There’s basically one self-made billionaire I’m aware of. Wealth turned him into a right-wing asshole unfortunately, but the original creator of Minecraft, Notch, is the closest thing to a self-made billionaire I can think of. He originally built Minecraft on his own and it was already doing insanely well when other people got involved. He did not have a rich background.

Now where we can argue about the self-made part: 1) None of what he did would’ve been possible without prior work by others (same goes for ANYTHING to do with computers nowadays), 2) There’s no guarantee he could’ve sold the game for over 2 billion dollars without help from others.

My cheap ass TV from 2019 is 55 inches. How much is a 55 inch monitor? Or a 65 in monitor if I want to upgrade to a bigger size in the future?

This average height manlet here is glad to be off Tinder. It sucks. I’d honestly rather pay prostitutes. I’ve never done that, but seems better value for money if you value your time as much as money (and I personally value it more)

Doesn’t seem to be in my country yet, but apparently it’s in a few other EU countries so there’s hope yet!

In the meantime I log into Facebook when I need to buy used car parts. There’s other sites but it’s nowhere near as usable as just writing “hey someone wanna sell me a 3.0 tdi (BMK/ASB) turbo pls” into the Audi group on Facebook. Such is the life of driving shitboxes anyway.

I heard we don’t even need our eyes by 4545 and in 5555 our arms are going to be limp. Guess the game is going to run all in our brains.

If anyone does miss it, they’re a lost cause anyway IMO

Welll, the orange man made everyone’s 401Ks drop, now every company needs to enshittify even harder so the American people can get their retirement funds back on track lmao

The whole system can get fucked.

Ah, personally I just figured I’d use wireguard. I have few enough users that a bit of setup isn’t a huge issue. No way I’d want to expose it completely publicly, same with any other home servers I run.

The public availability without open ports is indeed a strength of Plex.

What’s missing from Jellyfin for you?

I’m going to migrate over soon personally. I canceled my plex pass instead of upgrading to lifetime a few months ago because I felt like Plex was going to go down enshittification alley soon. I haven’t used Jellyfin much though, so not sure what to expect at this point. I don’t have a lot of users luckily

In seriousness, I think gaming has LESS pressure from past titles because while classics still get played decades later, many games don’t even work on a modern operating system and many are so janky that you can instantly tell they’re old. Games often don’t age well. You could argue that the same happens for other media but IMO games depreciate more because of the technical aspect.

No, books written before April 2025 are already trash and who’s gonna rewatch an old movie or listen to 80’s music nostalgically?

Ubuntu Karmic Koala. To be fair, I was a kid and that was, according to people on the Internet, the most likely to work. And so it did - it had out of the box support for my wifi adapter, which some other distros I tried later did not, I had to use something called ndiswrapper. Of course I did not yet know about compiling my own configured kernel, that came a month or 2 later.

I only stayed on Ubuntu for a while, then tried Mint, used that on and off for years, dabbled with Arch at some point, too. In the last 5 years I’ve used PopOs, Gentoo, OpenSuse, NixOS. I’m not gonna bother with capitalization and punctuation on some of these.

I live in a country that gets very icy for almost half the year and honestly while AWD is a QoL improvement, it’s nowhere near necessary. Good winter tires do so much more for you and RWD gives you more control than FWD at least.

AWD doesn’t help you brake better unfortunately.

Damn, be glad you didn’t boil your brake fluid though.

The likes of RIAA and MPAA are probably still lobbying as always. Also don’t forget the Internet Archive is being sued by record labels over copyright.

More than anything, people might be too distracted to defend IP related freedoms right now with all the other issues.

China also subsidises a lot of things. The even subsidise things produced for export, which could be considered dumping.

I think he’s saying things other than tariffs that affect how many dollars the US could make selling shit to your country.

Thing is, the list doesn’t make sense. Yeah most countries have VAT. 1) So does the US, it’s called sales tax. 2) I pay VAT equally on American, Estonian or German goods. What’s the problem?

Supposedly the team left OwnCloud and forked it. So the value is that the OCIS team will be working on OpenCloud in the future.

Steam, because they started with non-horrible DRM (compared to other options)

Au contraire, Steam was LOATHED back in the day, they were the first to force you to install a store just to play a single game.

For other games, you needed to enter a CD key on install (which keygens helped with) and then you needed the CD itself in the drive (which cracks helped with). Steam started the trend of online DRM in games, which was then adopted by others who made even more draconian offerings (I think for Spore you could only get 3 hardware IDs registered?)
