I understand that this may come across as flippant and possibly condescending, so apologies in advance, but I mean it as a genuine question.
What would it take to break the… inertia?
I imagine you’d move if your chair caught fire, so there must be some line. How low can the bar be set?
Alright. I’m finally hearing enough about pixelfed to start looking into it. Are there any good resources for jumping in?
I see it’s decentralized. Do I just go to pixelfed.org and create an account, or is this like the fediverse where you have to pick an instance to get started?
Edit: for anyone looking, the Pixelfed website has a list of instances, so you can try to find an instance that most appeals to you.
DJI voluntarily created its geofencing feature, so it makes a certain degree of sense that the company would get rid of it now that the US government no longer seems to appreciate its help, is blocking some of its drone imports, calls DJI a “Chinese Military Company,” and has started the countdown clock on a de facto import ban.
“The FAA does not require geofencing from drone manufacturers,” FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor confirms to The Verge.
While I don’t think this is a good change, especially after that drone damaged one of the firefighting planes, it does make sense that they would stop hamstringing their product if it’s not required. I assume consumers will also appreciate not being treated like children, but again… it’s not always a good idea to trust everyone to use common sense.
But then we’d need somebody else to develop calculus
Poor, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz…
See how important it was that they took their time to dot their i’s and cross their t’s? Just imagine where we’d be now if they rushed it!

It might help if you explained why you think that is the preferred term. I’m admittedly ignorant on the subject, but I don’t see a problem with OP’s wording.
My experience with Whataburger is that the food is mediocre, and if it weren’t for bad service, they’d have no service at all. In fact, there’s one Whataburger that I have failed to eat at twice because no one came to the counter both times I tried.
The person you replied to said
after I had 5 years to freeze dry enough shit to trade for concubines.
and you indicated that your sister would have enough of her own freeze-dried food that she wouldn’t need to trade for it. Thus, she is safe from being OP’s concubine.

I’m still running Plex (with lifetime subscription), so I have some questions/comments regarding transitioning from Plex to Jellyfin. They’re not necessarily directed at scrubbles.
I was told you don’t really have to change the organization of your media, but I read there are additional configuration tweaks needed to play your media remotely using Jellyfin, like installing/signing an SSL certificate.
I haven’t heard much about the quality of Jellyfin apps. It looks like they have a Roku app, so that should cover most of my needs, but I don’t see support for game consoles.
I’d also like a side-by-side comparison of features between the servers so that I know what I’d be giving up.
Not to mention the tracking (ok, you mentioned cookie notices, but not the actual tracking) that will ultimately impact your social media feeds.
“Huh, my friend-across-the-aisle just posted something that contradicts my world view, but I’m not sure I trust that site. If I click on it, will my feed suddenly be flooded with more untrustworthy sources?”
It’s usually not worth the risk.
Your state can make laws that are more protective than the federal regulations. California does this frequently. Occasionally, it even trickles to other states because many companies do not want the burden of meeting different state regulations, so they just work with the one that works everywhere (assuming the market is big enough).
So… What can you do? Well, a month ago, I would have reiterated how important down-ballot voting is, but it’s a little late for that now. The voting populace has spoken.
Now what you can do is donate to causes that you support. Put pressure on your representatives. Write letters, make calls, etc. It will be exhausting. You will feel like you’re getting nowhere, but you never know what will get through.
It’s why everyone I know is so upset by the election. Not because “we” lost. That’s sad, but (hopefully) not the end of the world. It’s because we just got signed up for at least four years of constant effort and perpetual vigilance, just to keep the country from falling apart.
It’s a shame it doesn’t work on mobile
I tried Chrome and Firefox. I even switched to “Desktop version”, but no dice.
A quick Google search says that an expat usually only lives in a new place for a limited period of time. An immigrant moves to a new place with intent to settle.
Whether that’s how it’s used colloquially is another matter…
For anyone out of the loop, that’s David Lynch.
Tangentially related, we lost Bob Uecker, too? I guess he decided it was time to “Get up! Get up! Get outta here!”
