I’d honestly suggest using your ears and deciding if you can tell the difference. My music library is under 20GB so I do not fuss too much, but I am not truly sure I can tell the difference.

You can get extensions which make the homepage redirect to your subscriptions page. Lifesaver imo.

I’ve got a Switch and a Deck, and I can’t fathom all these replies saying the Deck is just as good for Switch. It’s not, and it’s not worth playing games at 90 or 95% performance when you want 100% performance. “Playable” to “native performance” is such a big step. Plus, it costs more.

Subscribe to Disney Plus and also trial Anystream. So long as the service has dubs, you can pick and choose what gets embedded in your download (720p max). You will need a license for a show that long, but the trial can prove it works on a few episodes.

You can download the books you buy with credits, and also anything currently in the Plus catalogue. I’ve found this very helpful as they remove things from the Plus catalog with very short notice periods, so you may not get to finish books you start. (And I remember stuff like how Salman Rushdie books were removed when he was in the news from the assassination attempt. Maybe that was publishers seeing dollar signs not Amazon, idk, but it was gross. Same when Sean Lock died.)

Weird, I have permanent access to Samurai Champloo on my Jellyfin server. I would have paid given the option, but, y’know, they wouldn’t sell this kind of service.

Our customer support is full of (older) people buying stuff from us. Not everyone likes using websites when a phone will work!

Cheers for the citation

I guess it’s the one I care least about that I listed. Substitute in the overtly racist subreddits, if you wish, as they surely didn’t deserve a platform.

The myth of Aaron Swartz continues…

He was a big proponent of free speech absolutism. He’d have been more than happy with the jailbait subs, watchpeopledie, fatpeoplehate etc. I really don’t think he deserves a free pass just because Reddit wasn’t enshittifying while he was around, as it was in a growth phase. It had other problems which needed resolution.

Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.

But it was a frozen banana street food, not a literal supermarket banana. Feels like we might be within a decade of street food snacks costing $10!

Kinda crap advice for novices, as shorting means uncapped losses if you’re wrong. You’d have to be very confident other people are making a mistake, as other investors may not worry that power users no longer like Reddit, and stock could still go up.

If it results in 1% fewer kids using, and 95% less vape litter, then that’s a win-win in my book.

I know exactly what I’d do with it.

Get into gunpla, of course.

Whistleblower laws need strengthening. Snowden’s leaks, for example, were clearly in the public interest and needed to be leaked. It’s an unjust country that can’t see that and spare him.

Mutts is so good, my favourite traditional comic for sure.

I’ve only used Jellyfin, but I struggle to imagine Plex being much easier - it was a piece of piss to just run the installer and point at my folders. Complexity only comes when doing stuff like making it available over the internet.

Not really

Really exposing the Valve fanboyism in the room. Steam genuinely takes quite a long time to start. People pretend it’s quick because they leave it running, while cold booting Epic/alternatives and complaining.
