If you watch the video on the site. From about 40 seconds in till about 2 minutes when they cut away from her speech it's actually a really good pro Biden speech. They should just play that clip of her in Vote Biden commercials.

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...

I stopped trying to learn linux. Windows isnt perfect but in general it just works. Want a program? download and install the exe. drivers are PnP.

I do tech support for a living. At the end of the day i just want my stuff to work. I dont want to do more work. Same reason i replaced my Ubiquiti APs with Eeros and stick with a simple hardwire topography where possible.

Sounds smart. Good luck. I went the easy way and just did Cloudflare Tunnels to my apps and am starting to set up and look in to using Cloudflare access to give it all forces 2FA

I use Eweka, I have 5 trackers including nzbgeek and drunken slug, set up with SabNZB, and Sonarr for shows. I manually do movies by searching with NZBHydra. Shit is great man. I find everything old and new. I think you just need to mess with your setup. Usenet is 10000x better then trying to torrent everything. Torrent is great for like... Mass.downloading some older stuff maybe, but Usenet has everything you need. Yarrrr

Usually. I would also say it has "Different" content. its also usually faster as your not relying on seeds/leachers

What I think kbin needs to do to survive, and why I think it has a better chance than any other Reddit alternative I've seen yet.

I’m a Reddit refugee who was on that platform for 10+ years. I saw not just a tremendous amount of controversies, but attempts at introducing alternatives to Reddit during all of them. The 2015 blackout saw a ton of alternatives suggested, and if you go back and look at them many have either not survived or never achieved...

Eventually, we need to get to the place where we’re creating unique meme formats

I agree with what you're saying in general, but I really hope that all of the interesting discussion here doesn't eventually get buried by memes like back on Reddit. Memes can be fun and all, but sorting a lot of otherwise really great niche-subs by top of all time back there was often a case of finding nothing of value at all because there were 50 pages of fucking memes at the top of the list. Personal preference, of coarse


It sounds alot like your telling people how they should talk and act, thats not how the internet or social media works. One of my favorite boards right now in the fediverse, especially after a long day is 196. I would rather see 100 posts from 196 then another post about leaving reddit. And i can do that by filtering and subbing. thats how this all works,

What's with all the NordVPN hate?

I see people say that NordVPN is a bad choice all the time, but I've never seen any credible evidence that they're not trustworthy. Can anyone provide any sources with valid reasons to avoid their service? I only know that they had some servers hacked in 2018, but it seems as though they took that very seriously and upgraded...

Isn't the Firefox VPN just a rebrand of Mullvad or something? Like they just use their servers and put in their logo?

I have been using PIA for the last few years and I am personally pretty happy. I had some issues with Nord connect and speed a few years back. PIA on wireguard has worked great for me. I have a gigabit connection and although I can't hit that with pia, my Unraid SabNZB hits over 70MB/s easy which is great

I honestly just use Google podcasts. Mostly because it syncs with the website easily. So I can listen on my phone and then at work on Firefox and not have to worry

it's Friday night, what's everyone doing this weekend?

Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the...

DM'd my 2nd ever Dungeons and Dragons game online with Foundry Friday night, then Saturday is some cleaning and fixing my back porch followed by some beer and Mexican food for dinner, and probably a nighttime Pokemon go walk.

Meanwhile he will just wait for the Pardon he thinks he will get if trump or one of the other crazy Republican nominees win.

Little does he realize whoever wins isn't going to pardon any of them. It just sounds good for votes. And once they are out? Republican don't care about them again because they don't want felons to be able to vote.
