Who knew knowing you were not likely to die when you ride your bike on public roads increases peoples desire to ride on public roads.

I don’t remember that, however it doesn’t surprise me at least for a radius around your area. I’d be surprised if they had all of them from all the states

No doubt, lucky us, we get neither…

Right, but when everyone got phone books, those were only shared locally in the town. It would be pretty hard to figure out someones phone number from across the state/country without the internet unless you knew someone in the town.

You could also pay to be unlisted, which is a luxury long since gone. How cool would it be to make your data ‘unlisted’ by paying a small monthly fee.

And the exact same amount of accountability will be applied here.

Yep, exactly, when they screw me I’ll leave

“still even mentions plex”

I’ve been using plex for a LONG time, and bought a lifetime plexpass 12 years ago. I’m pretty sure I haven’t started a thread on Lemmy regarding Plex, but I’m sure I’m not alone as a LONG TIME user. Plex just works for me and cost me $75 in 2013. Right now I’ve got no pressing reason to switch.

If they remove my plexpass features, or start showing me ads / making my user experience worse, then I’ll probably look to change, and won’t participate in these awful ‘plex’ posts.

P.S. we should encourage as much new content on Lemmy as possible if you ask me.

Bullet dodged for now, but unfortunately they’re using fully automatic weapons and there’s a lot more coming right at us.

For sure that I had been his plan all along… Distraction after distraction… Hey look over here!

I think in trumps mind, the US raises tariffs, which is a line item on the imported goods, he collects said line item. Imported goods end price stays the same (this is what he tried selling to the gullible) and other countries lose out.

Reality is, he raises tariffs, which is a line item on the imported goods, and he collects said line item. Imported goods price goes up. The only loser here is the end user (american) consumer.

Anyone paying attention knew “Reality” was the only outcome

Ya it seems google fixed it today. I’m guessing that is why nextcloud went public so google would magically fix it .

Sure, I’ve been self-hosting Nextcloud for years. I run it as a docker within unRAID NAS. I use it as a “dropbox” replacement for our family to share files. I also use it to move photos off my phone using the auto-upload feature.

Ironically, just yesterday I uninstalled the play version and installed the f-droid version to get the article’s stated feature back.

So, I totally remember this pop-up and luckily until now it has not directly impacted me. I auto-backup my photos/videos off my phone and do move non photos/videos on/off nextcloud on occasion but haven’t noticed I could no longer upload regular files.

Luckily…

I self-host Nextcloud I already use F-Droid

So, it wasn’t much work to uninstall the play version and instlall the f-droid version. I should probably go through all my apps and see what’s available on f-droid and swap. But 1) that’s a lot of work and 2) there are some features that break when you do that. I know some mapping software won’t work on Android Auto if not from the play store.

Better recall those January 6th “protest” pardons

If I were the defense and scummy, I’d reply with an equally disturbing AI avatar of the victim saying that he actually killed himself and that the road rage guy was innocent.

I mean, seems fair.

Ya, it was only ever mildly useful and easy to just unsubscribe.

I’m starting to think this just isn’t true. I believe that the average person is just not paying attention. Even the average immigrant family that might randomly have heard / seen trump ramble on about immigration problems.

I think, just like the farmers that suffered with taraffs last time , these people are just on autopilot. They assume america is gonna keep on being “good” and do “the right thing” by them and just punish the deserving (whatever that means to them)

They vote, and they vote party lines without a single thought put into the consequences. Without listening to what was said, or considering what it could mean.

Somewhat related.

I just unsubscribed from the USPS “Informed Delivery” email which used to just send an email if you were getting mail and it would contain the scanned fronts of those mail pieces.

Now you get it every day, and it has ads. Sometimes one, sometimes more. But, you have to look past/through the ads to get to the data, so they just won’t get my eyeballs at all.

Actual budget, nextcloud

I’m in the same boat. I’d say that my current setup is still not back to ‘normal’ since the issue with the certificates on the second gen devices.

I was able to cast to a CCA yesterday for a few hours after rebooting it again.

I have, over the years gone all in with the CCAs which is great when it works but sucks being tied to google. I have 11 active running CCAs connected to two separate 12 channel amps that have wired speakers throughout my house.

I use Google Mini’s in those locations with their default speaker set to the CCA feeding that room’s speakers. I also have groups “Basement” “Upstairs” “outside” etc that allow me to group them into larger zones. This is all very awesome when it works, but like we found out last week falls apart when there’s a problem on that house of cards.

We can via apps directly manually ‘cast’ from YTM or Spotify or whatever (podcast app) or just ask the mini in the room to play music or play music on ‘group speaker name’.

I got here from ‘Casatunes’ which when I was using it, was a PCIE card you installed in a windows machine and then installed their software (that ran on IIS) and it created a web service where the PCIE card (a soundblaster) had 6 3.5mm jacks (6 zones) as output, and then the software allowed you to assign 4 different inputs. Biggest issue I had with it, is as I moved from Sirius XM to streaming the service I opted to go with wasn’t supported. Eventually I migrated to the CCA approach.

I’d love a way to setup 11 Pi’s (although not at today’s prices) with some open source protocol that replaced googles casting. The problem then would be getting some local speaker (google mini) to interact with it, or even your phone (spotify/ytm to ‘cast’ to that open protocol). Whatever the long term solution it would need to be easy to use or nobody but me will use it.
