I agree that a lot of shows and movies, especially the more recent ones, have little rewatchability. You could always replace those with an armful of whatever is current and on your watchlist after you are done though.

And personally i have a couple of evergreens and classics i enjoy watching again now and then, and it is nice to know i always have something to watch even if i cant afford the subscription any more / the stuff i like gets region locked / fucking licensing pulls the rug. It also feels a little empowering to have my own stuff that really is just mine and nobody can revoke my viewing permissions, in the face of endless enshittification.

As for the media server, i am not tech savvy enough myself to run one so i just bought a large ass external drive. When i am away from home i just bring that thing and can watch my stuff on any computer and generally also tv i plug it into.

The key words here being “left with a library”. Your media, now and forever, at no additional cost, available whenever you want. I could not go back to netflix etc.

With reversed roles this would be peak boomer humor

He is most likely german judging by instance and name, and we have no humor we are aware of. Apologies

I mean, the way I read it is “not a day goes by on which I am not regretting doing this”. So, every day you are regretting it 🤔

So you regret it every day? GOS is amazing in my opinion. What’s your gripe with it?

Ah yes of course, the system must be financed somehow in the end. Still infinitely better than the american system which works worse for the average citizen and costs a lot more.

German here.

If I’m sick I just go to their practice during consultation hours. Without an appointment I have to wait a little, but rarely more than an hour. Then I get called in, the doctor takes a couple minutes to listen to me describing my symptoms, possibly does some minor checking, then writes me a prescription for whatever treatment I will need or a transfer slip to a specialized doctor.

For emergencies I can just go to the hospital. Oh, all of this costs me nothing at all, maybe a couple euros co pay for medications.

Maybe you watched the movies and remember that scene where saruman doodles around with a sort of flaming crystal ball. Thats the thing. A two way spy/communications device specifically used by the bad guys.

Essentially they named their project after the totalitarian spy device of the worst guy and his corrupted (by that very device) sidekick in lotr**. Apparently that is aspirational to these people

**yes, i know sauron is not the actual bbeg but for the sake of someone who knows the movies at best i skipped last that.

You could be a contemporary one though. Dream on stranger

It should have some identifier and ingredient list / best before date though. Just to keep the useful info

The key is conveyor belt placement mode, you gotta set it to straight. That, and foundations to have everything aligned and level.

They could just use random names that conform to their beliefs.

Not paying your enforcers well enough to make sure they are loyal would probably be the dumbest mistake anyone with wealth and/or power can make.

Not saying it cant be done of course, but it seems a bit more involved than climbing over a fence after giving the guard some cigarettes.

According to the quote they have taken precautions, the peasantry is not allowed on the island. And to make sure they dont try, they have armed guards and security systems in plaxs.

Even beyond that, the “complex” language they claim is confusing is the whole point of Wikipedia. Neutral, precise language that describes matters accurately for laymen. There are links to every unusual or complex related subject and even individual words in all the articles.

I find it disturbing that a major share of the userbase is supposedly unable to process the information provided in this format, and needs it dumbed down even further. Wikipedia is already the summarized and simplified version of many topics.

Helldivers 2 works (or at least used to when I played it) as well, while requiring kernel access on windows

It’s not about how hot your mom is, but about the message of dominance.

I fucked your mom, aka your (usually) most beloved direct relative who has given birth to you and cared for you all your life. That woman is bouncing on my dick every night and loves it before she gets up and makes you lunch for school. And your father the fucking loser - and second primary caregiver who has taught you how to play soccer and to swim and to make cringe worthy dad jokes - is too much of a cuck to do anything about it.

Like, the ultimate ragebait.

I’m a bazzite user for a good year now, and also a first time Linux user. My hardware is amd as well, and for me the experience has been great, the most annoying issues having been compatibility workarounds for windows software. I would definitely recommend you to join their discord for support.

A green screen of death does not sound healthy, even crashes or hard reboots have never produced something similar for me. To rule out hardware issues, can you install a windows copy and/or create a USB with a live Linux OS such as mint to compare? (For reference, some Linux distros are able to run entirely off a USB stick, albeit much slower due to the obvious bottleneck).

If all this checks out I would suggest either reinstalling bazzite off a verified iso (there is a function before installing to make sure there are no errors) or using another distro.

If the ability to make your own feed without much defederation behind the scenes so to say I’d recommend lemmy.zip as an alterative. When I made my account I specifically looked for an instance that would defederate only illegal and mega fucked up shit like cp and gore. This instance offers that, and is federated with almost everyone.
