Games@lemmy.world•US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to commentEnglish
21·2 months agoI would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven’t bought one in like a decade so I recognize there’s not much bite there.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•My first jellyfin setupEnglish
2·3 months agoYou’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

World News@lemmy.world•China is beating the US in battle for energy export dominanceEnglish
9·3 months agoIf you had told me 20 years ago that China would be closer to manifesting the Star Trek future I always wanted than the US, I would never have believed you. But here we are.

3·3 months agoIf you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.
Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

1·3 months agoYou may want to check out https://www.thewebernets.com/ blog posts. I use some of the recommend setups for my movies and most look great, but I do use subtitles which I think he mostly skips in his setups.

4·3 months agoI am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.
I’m sorry but those look more like fettuccine to me.

science@lemmy.world•Scientists Have Translated the Inner Monologue. The Implications Are Incredible.English
371·4 months agoThere should be an indefinite moratorium on this research under the current regime. Way too much potential for abuse.
You could probably name any race from Trek and justify them as Gorn food.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Air Canada flight attendants to defy back-to-work order and remain on strike
16·5 months agoI don’t know any of the particulars but what if the union advised it’s workers to only do the paid work? I don’t see how they can be held to account for not doing unpaid work if they all refuse together.
Years from now you’ll remember the good times and the shitty days won’t be rembered often. Kids idolize their parents whether we’re worthy or not. My house is a mess too. We are all just getting by some days. Don’t beat yourself up. Try to make tomorrow a little better.

Gaming@lemmy.world•I think my backlog could sustain me for a long time.English
2·5 months agoI played through Metroid Dread finally about a month ago. Had it since it launched. When my wife was a kid, their rule was that they had to beat the game before you could get a new one. I rarely beat games as a kid so that seemed harsh to me.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials
201·6 months agoI’m crazy. Mark My Words. In 20 years, we’ll have so many microbes capable of consuming plastic people will be bitching about their packages not being able to effectively protect their goods from spoiling. The goldfish has spoken.
The author makes a pretty compelling case for letting Phil go. Can you imagine the owners of a sports team continuing to pay a Manager millions of dollars a year despite them getting their asses kicked every time they suit up?







This article make a big stink about how mentioning that he had genes that showed “very high” scores for a predisposition to autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and how we shouldn’t mention that because it might make people with these disorders feel more Hitlery. It also says he had similar genes for having a micropenis but doesn’t show the same concern for people with this affliction. Well, Lemmy, does this new information make you feel more Hitlery?
