paristo Technology@beehaw.org•The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era3·10 days agoWhat in the fuck is this guy talking about? Me when I’m addicted to social media but refuse to turn off notifications or curate my experience. The beginning of that second paragraph is a strange concoction of words that doesn’t actually communicate anything. I skimmed through the article and it devolves into a rant about a play the author didn’t enjoy and other stray ramblings like this:
Less is considered more. Being “tacky” is seen as the greatest imaginable sin. Odd, considering who’s the president of the United States and what he’s done to the White House, but maybe that’s the origin of all this cold minimalism.
This entire article feels like a paper you didn’t start until the night it was due and only remembered about after you took a weed gummy.
paristo No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am?4·12 days agoFunctionally they’re all interchangeable, especially bi/pan. The biggest difference between the three is their flags.
I’m a big fan of this very specific type of greentext
Try taking a look at the way glueten implements port forwarding with protonvpn. Hopefully it helps you piece together a script that works for your setup.

My understanding is that debrid servers do not seed, which is the primary reason I’ve been turned off to the idea of using one

At first I thought this tradpost was pro pissing on feet instead of in urinals
paristo Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox Finally Introducing Matroska / MKV Playback SupportEnglish12·20 days agoIt supports more codecs and I believe can store more tracks compared to MP4. Whenever I download a high quality movie or tv show, especially if it has multiple audio tracks and subtitles to choose from, it is always packaged in .mkv

paristo Kagi search engine@programming.dev•Kagi Blog: The many benefits of paying for searchEnglish1·1 month agoTo preface, what I’m about to say is no hate towards Kagi and I’ve actually considered trying them.
Think about your last few searches. How many times did you: Scroll past several ads disguised as real results? Add “reddit” to your search just to get human opinions instead of SEO spam? Feel slightly weird searching for something personal, knowing it’s being tracked and stored? Get frustrated by results that felt absurdly off, like they were optimized for someone else’s agenda?
I have never felt this way. I use an adblocker as god intended, I append reddit when I feel like it’s something reddit comments would answer well, if I’m searching something I don’t want attached to me I use an incognito tab, and my results are never absurdly off (and in fact practically read my fucking mind by how well optimized the results are). I genuinely don’t understand what people are searching to have this hard of a time with google search results.
paristo Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server?English4·1 month agoJellyfin natively supports playlists. Symphonium also supports playlists, both local and from your Jellyfin server.
paristo Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money15·2 months agoIt’s not altruistic, but the blog post outlines why they’re doing this. Underappreciated volunteer-run dependencies can have security flaws that impact huge swaths of the tech sector. Investing a few grand now to secure those tools instead of significantly more money to do damage control after a vulnerability is found and exploited makes sense. It’s a preventative measure that benefits the entire industry, GitHub and its parent company Microsoft included.
Unironically yes. He’s part of the Daily Wire. He’s a right wing ghoul who has explicitly called for the extermination of “transgenderism” (read: trans people). I don’t know if he still does this, but he has gone to college campuses to raise a fuss and then complain about the intolerant woke leftist commies who protest him being given a platform on their campus. He’s anti abortion, anti IVF, and has run defense on Trump raping women.
These people are flames that only burn as long as you feed them oxygen. Don’t bother giving this guy any more attention than he has.
To my understanding, vacant housing refers to housing in which someone is not currently living, including housing that is under repair/renovation, needs repairs, or is abandoned/condemned.

Also, of the housing that is vacant, two thirds are vacant for 6 or fewer months, and ~85% are vacant for 12 or fewer months. The median duration of vacancy is about 2.4 months. Only a small portion of vacant housing is actually vacant in the way people typically think when they hear vacant housing. Freeing up the ~10% of housing that is actually vacant long-term the way people think just would not alleviate the housing crisis. We gotta build more housing, y’all.

Unfortunately it isn’t actually that straightforward. That number includes abandoned and run down homes that are currently unlivable, houses that aren’t actually on the market because they’re being remodeled, they exist in the middle of nowhere where people don’t want to live, etc. Fundamentally, the problem with housing in the US is supply. We don’t build enough housing in the places people want to live.
While on the topic, a lot of people say that housing is commodified and that’s why it sucks. This is not accurate. Housing is treated as an investment that should go up in value over time, not a commodity that can be easily bought, sold, and traded.
If anybody is interested in learning more about housing in the United States from someone who studies this full time, I recommend Clayton Becker
itch capitulated in like the worst way what do you mean. they nuked a bunch of stuff and stole money that they hadnt paid out to creators yet even for non-delisted games. itch is hardly “fighting censorship” in that regard. dont bother boycotting them or steam though. call visa and mastercard daily to pester them about their recent changes that have affected digital storefronts and dont let up until they reverse course. thats where your pressure will make a difference. three people refusing to buy from steam anymore will do nothing at all.

He might be the lowest info voter in the whole country and that’s certainly a big part of why he’s so popular among his base of low information voters. He’s very relatable to them, and I don’t mean that as a sly dig. Being relatable is a big issue for Democrats who can’t even provide a vision for the future of the country (which is why people like Mamdani are so popular, since they actually do).
