If one lives in an area with tons of LoRa enthusiasts, this might work exceptionally perfect.

I have just realized that in of 2020 TikTok was about to get banned in US by Trump administration and he even signed an executive order for the ban. But since he lost elections later that year, ban was reversed by Biden administration.

THE FUCKING SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED IN REVERSE IN 2025 when Biden’s admin ordered it to be banned in january and it was unbanned (postponed ban) 3 times with the last one lasting until September.

I call extreme sus on this one. There are weird powers around tiktok that are/were important in info-war and elections in general.

2 weeks ago I had an issue with my hardware Steam Link setup. For some reason picture would freeze but sound would still go. It is connected over ethernet so I ruled out connection issues. Googling lead me to nowhere. Adding “reddit” to search had no effect. Then I just decided to try chatgpt. It gave me few things I can try and lo and behold, second suggestion was what I was looking for.

There are things I would rather not ask LLMs. But when I have no clue what to even write in google search bar, I’d rather go for LLM because it can lead me to what I am searching for and from there I can continue my own research.

About to install Pi3 with Tailscale in my homeland to route Deluge traffic though because piracy is normality there

Exactly. Once we are a mainstream page to visit, it will go down as fast as any other page like this before.

Up until covid, they always had an episode a week. They used to write, compose, voice and release it in less than 7 days.

I beg to disagree.

The reason all these delusional posts getting even upvoted to begin with is due to many like-minded people are gathered together in the same sub. As an example, reddit’s r/democrats and r/republicans. One is clearly more sane than another, yet try to say something in a wrong sub - get downvoted to oblivion. But if you spill your delusional shit in a r/republicans - upvotes galore and comments of praise.

Facebook groups are the same shit. And so is Lemmy. One thing in hexbear that is allowed could/will be the reason you got a ban in .world. Up/Downvotes cant fix that.

tl;dr Village idiots can join together to accumulate their own conspiracies in a big ass circlejerk, and social media has no power to stop it.

I got a question in my head just now.

DNS sinkhole doesnt help with youtube ads but UBO does. DNS doesn’t help with twitch ads and neither UBO does. Why is that youtube doesn’t do the same what twitch does?

On a side note, my ads on twitch are basically “ad is in progress” screen and not an actual ad. And lately YT has couple of seconds with no video in the beginning as if it loads (1Gbit connection) but eventually loads up and plays with no interruptions after.

The amount of comments thinking that Lemmy is totally not like a typical social media is absurd.

Guys, we only don’t have major tracking of users here.That’s it! Everything else is the fucking same shit you’d see on facebook. The moment Lemmy gets couple tens of millions of users, we gonna become 2nd facebook.

The idea is not to sell you what you need. It is developed to sell you stuff you actually don’t need. It is by design.

We once had played this game with friends where you get a word stuck on your forehead and you have to guess what are you.

One guy got C4 (as in explosive) to guess and he failed. I remember that we had to agree with each other whether C4 is or is not a weapon. Main idea was that explosives are comparatively rarely used in actual killing opposed to other things like mining and such. Parallel idea was that is Knife a weapon?

But ultimately we agreed that C4 is not a weapon. It was invented not primarily to to kill or injure. Opposed to guns, that are only for killing or injuring.

Take guns away, people will kill with literally anything else. But give an easy access to guns, people will kill with them. Gun is not a tool, it is a weapon by design.

I live in a big city of an decently big country. Here we got many of them particularly around large train stations. I never give to them any money. Reason is - this country has a safety system in order to help people in need like this. If homeless people go against the rules (crime, drugs, abuse of the system) they get kicked out of the shelters. They get help with all sorts of things there and if they really are in dire situation and want to get back to normal life, they would get all necessary help they ever need and more. If they got kicked out, I believe they didn’t really wanted to get back their normal life. And in some cases, I see just youth smoking weed on the side of the street and begging for money. They are not in need, they have families and homes. They just collect money for weed. Fuck those guys, really.

I give money to street performers all the time. This brings life and color to the city.

I am freshly into selfhosting and am running Beelink s12 pro with Jellyfin on. Ripped tons of DVDs and about to get blu ray drive for ripping. Never paid a cent to Netflix or any other streaming sites. Dunno why my wife pays entry subscription to Netflix. Cant watch FHD or higher, got ads, cant mirror screen to a TV with entry subscription, no choice in what movies to watch, shows from competitors are not on netflix. Fuck this shit, man. I pay for DVDs and blurays anyday as long as I can chose what to watch and to keep it to myself.

Got recently raspberry pi 3. Planning to setup private VPN in my homeland where pirating is not an issue yet.

Pretty sure that as of recent years, meth is often mixed with fentanyl without being disclosed to a user or probably even a dealer.

But it also funny to see how people say that this should be done yet they somehow forget that (allegedly) it is not government that sells drugs but drug cartels that do. I bet they wouldn’t mix birth control into drugs at all. Why would they? That in best case for them does nothing for a higher price of production, and in worst case it will deter customers. Shit’s never going to happen.

I moved from my homeland to another EU country. When applying for a job through an agency, they asked me if 27 days of vacation is enough for me, cause typically everyone have 30 or more days in this country. I looked at her, smiled and said “Yes, that is enough”. Little did she knew that back in my town I had maximum of 20 working days vacation + by the contract I was not able to take out more than 10 days in a row.

Where dafuq it stacks? AFAIK in most of the world it is either paid out in the end of the year or is wasted and goes nowhere.

Latest Spotify crackdowns on revanced apps and a very recent GrayJay plugin issues made me look into Spotify cracking scene. I found an app that works. But for how long?

You can’t possibly expect everyone to know all the lines of all the shows, do you?

Your grandfather went to war to protect the world from a global enemy. Mr. Sherry got drunk and drove on the way killing a nazi. These two things are not even close to be the same. Lets just be happy a nazi died. No need to justify DUI.
