Yeah, same here, that’s why I specified that they’re only nice when they work. Often they just don’t work, so Flatpak is better.

Damn, alright haha, I completely missed that news. Good for them.

I think I’ve landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.

So if I already use K-9 Mail, should I bother? Does anything set it apart yet?

I think this one is more difficult than it sounds.

I think that teens and kids are going to kill themselves because of this regardless of how difficult you think it sounds. I was a trans teen and waiting until I was 18 caused me to attempt suicide. Sure, it was only once, but I could have succeeded if I hadn’t chickened out and didn’t have a therapist at the time. Maybe TMI, but these discussions need to be had, as you say.

Also, puberty blockers are reversible at any time.

Cool, more teen suicides. Probably even pre-teens.

For what it’s worth, I agree with you. Most telecom infrastructure funding has been historically pocketed. There is a chance it does work, though.

If not, maybe the tariffs will help in the short term by minimizing profit from overseas supply chains and incentivize American manufacturing, causing a positive effect on the sector in concert with CHIPS (but I doubt it).

Oh, the thing Trump called “so bad” on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can’t trust it, but he did say it.

As it stands, CHIPS isn’t going anywhere, so at least Americans won’t be totally fucked.

I don’t know anything about Jellyfin as a user but I’ve heard from others Jellyfin and Emby are ready to compete with Plex on a level playing field. Not sure if it’s an exaggerated hype or not. :P

Plex is fine as a whole, it just handles my music library kind of clunkily and doesn’t have much support for organization or dynamic playlists. It’s obviously meant more for movies and shows and that’s why Plexamp exists (which I don’t use).

Whenever I posted on /r/Plex on Reddit, people would comment that I should use another player, but that place is a cesspool with dedicated Plex haters; it’s so weird. Plex does function as a music player, it’s just a bit unfocused (design-wise) and bloated.

When I don’t want to boot up Plex I use mocp, a terminal-based music player, so I’m not in need of a fancy player like Deadbeef, Strawberry, Audacious, MediaMonkey, Musicbee, etc. but they do offer more to the user than Plex does.

Why? I’m Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It’s pretty contentious and fucked up. It’s not like I’m an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.

What conversations, specifically

Lol, okay, very specific. I’m also talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.

I use Plex to play music most of the time (I know, but it works). Do you know if there’s a webhook or script available that would scrobble from Plex to ListenBrainz? I skimmed the list of player integrations and didn’t see anything.

What conversations, specifically, are being stifled or overlooked due to US politics? The comm isn’t very active.

Not American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.

Give peas a chance! Violins is not the answer!

Every time I see the Fedora logo I think of DisplayFusion instead. Windows poisoned my brain. :(

What’s the angle here? He really thinks that a bunch of apathetic Republicans will go out and vote for Trump so that poor wittle Elon won’t have to deal with the consequences of his poor business decisions? So weird. He’s such a nut.

Same here! I’m Canadian and, while we may have a snap election at any time given the current situation, our next scheduled federal election isn’t for almost a year.

I still find it so baffling that red states are limiting the number of polling places to make it as inconvenient as possible to vote. Surely that reduces the willingness to vote of their own base too. Given the electoral college, jerrymandering, and voter roll purges, you’d think they’d be satisfied with how things are rigged already without resorting to blatant disenfranchisement.

It would be cool for you guys to have a viable third party, so you should try to make that a reality outside of just voting if you can. I’m sure they would appreciate a donation or another volunteer after the election and local efforts are often more meaningful long-term since they help create the grassroots support that leads to national viability.
