I only remember the lab leak theory being discussed seriously once Biden had been elected. Prior to that, it was treated as unenlightened racism.

Not that I'm a Trump fan. But the man was a lightning rod like I've never seen for the left here in America.

Then again, just flippantly referring to Covid as the "Kung Flu" just might have something to do with it.

Because when you get away from the center, you've often chosen a "team." Choosing a team clouds your judgment.

Fair points all around.

And by the way? I'm an android fan. Though Apple is more secure in some ways, I would much rather have control over my device.

Although to be fair, the next paragraph says, "Surprisingly, Google offers a similar deal. The company collects and uses your personal data for targeted advertising, but it doesn’t sell it to third-party advertisers. So it means advertisers can pay Google or Apple to be seen on your iPhone or Android device. However, the advertisers can’t know who you are and come after you on their own."

I just find Google to be an advertising company that happens to produce software.

"Now that we’ve established that Apple collects and uses your data to serve ads, does it sell your data too? Turns out the answer is No, Apple doesn’t sell your data to third-party advertisers. The Cupertino giant possesses the exclusive rights of showing you ads on the App Store and other apps."

If you only want one entity having your data, you're better off being abused by Apple. Google invites all his friends over to run a train on you.

We need multiple large companies, not a few huge ones.

Google's "internet DRM" web integrity API is honestly frightening stuff. The Internet as we know it would change.

Arch is so good. I really enjoyed running it for a couple years, but then that grub issue last year made me look at other distros, eventually ending up on Fedora.

I'm coming home. Fedora just does wonky stuff on my computers. I haven't enjoyed it at all.

Debian on my homelab, Arch on my main. I'm done distrohopping.

I just ran away from Fedora. I was running Fedora server, and my files were depopulating on my podman containers. Xml files still existed, but were BLANK. Strange behavior.

And then I was running kinoite on my main gaming rig, and the wifi driver just stopped working. No amount of tinkering fixed it.

I've gotten debian on my server, though that's ongoing. Once the server is up, I think I'm going back to Arch on my main. They may have ticked me off with that grub thing last year, but prior to that it was smooth as silk.

I think certain mobile websites are terrible on purpose, because they want to put their spyware on your phone.

...super cool. Man, glad I had this conversation. I have projects again.

I'll look into it as well. Thank you.

Oh, I will most definitely be checking that out. Thank you so much.

It's funny, I've heard of radarr and sonarr, but I never looked into them because I was learning other stuff.

Hmmm...I might suggest looking into the transcoding settings and changing some things next time you take a look. Because I run Plex alongside Jellyfin (the wife prefers Plex's UI once I tweak it), and it typically runs just as efficiently if not a bit more.

I hand-change every file name.

Please tell me I'm an idiot and show me a better way. Lol it won't save me the hundreds of movies I've put in "Title (year).type" format, but it will save some future work.

And oddly enough, I just canceled them today.

Hello, fiber. Goodbye unilaterally-decided bullshit data caps.

What I find helps is going through each category as the mood hits me. If I looked at my one main feed, I would almost be overwhelmed.
