It’s a well documented phenomenon that mentally well people with half decent critical thinking skills typically don’t support right wing politics. It generally preys on the gullible.

Now now, AJ may not know everything, but he’ll learn

Equating Linux enthusiasts to offal is a bold move on this site

I mean he was on a Florida golf course

Don’t they have gun ranges on every other block?

Plex is probably the easiest and most convenient, I think jellyfin is viable too, but I don’t use it.

If you’ve got the money, Roon or Audirvana are the gold standard of self hosted music

If you want something similar, but free, look into things like volumio or subsonic based solutions.

How? It’s pretty simple, he’s a small minded racist.

As Boris Johnson famously wrote about it, this is “the dead cat on the table” strategy:

There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, “Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!” In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.

These right wing fuckos all have the same playbook

It’s not really the same when you’re talking about a campaigning politician.

No one sane wants to be associated with Trump’s campaign, and him using the song is implying association.

Rest of the world: are they?

I gotta wonder if those premiums kept up

From that link

Existing studies and comprehensive reviews often find only limited support and only under certain conditions; they generally contradict the theory’s central premises.

Who let you out of hell?

ITT: people who watch technology connections and techmoan

:D

I guess out of fear that we get another gitlab situation, where the open source offering has a load of key features eventually kept behind a paywall

This what we’re calling gen alpha then?

Apple is gonna love that free advertising

I specifically don’t comment on people that give off the vibe they might be one of those kind of nutjobs, precisely because it gives them a notification with my username attached if I do. I’m on this site to kill some time with low effort, I want to minimise the risk of attracting the attention of some weirdo.

I downvote in those scenarios and then report if appropriate. If enough other users feel the same way the comment goes down to the bottom of the thread and fewer users see it. Especially if it’s something that a mod eventually removes, as it reduces the reach until a mod can get to it.

If I risk retaliation for doing that, I (and others) will just stop, meaning those comments stay up front & centre and we lose that soft moderation plus that engagement in general. Going into the comments will just end up being a worse experience

Hard no from me

I don’t want some nutjob with too much time stalking me because I upvoted something about climate change or downvoted some bigoted shit. We all know those fuckos are out there

Voting on Reddit-like platforms is soft moderation by a community, and if you disincentive that, the whole model kinda falls apart IMO

They won’t be happy until they can propagandise uncontested

It’s expensive to have to come up with good propaganda campaigns only to have them never see the light of day

Celebrity culture is interesting to a lot of people for whatever reason

Freddie Mercury is probably one of the most influential musicians of all time

Pretty easy to understand given both those things
