Little Randy, Lucy and Bo-bandy's kid. What happened to little random? They covered the story by saying they put the little maf up for adoption, but other than that the little cheeseburger driving kid was never spoken of again.

So they have rounds of layoffs, staff feel less secure in their role, and they're surprised that knowledgeable and easily employable experts are leaving for more stable roles?

I've learned to never hope for the best when it comes to consumers. They have been trained to happily hand over their money and time for worse experiences. They is no breaking point that they'll come across where they finally stop paying, even if they surpass the ability to even afford it.

It doesn't matter if Netflix is shitty. They'll pay for it, because how would they go on without it? They'll pay more for more ads, and it'll just be accepted. We here are the minority.

I run Bazzite, primarily gaming for everything, added jellyfin as a non steam app. Works pretty well. Wish jellyfin had a slightly better interface but overall decent.

Most everything works with the controller, and for anything that doesn't steam will emulate a keyboard and mouse for, but I keep a keyboard next to it just in case

Well, yes, but also McDonald's did it to themselves too. About 20 years ago when I worked there (holy shit I just realized it was 20 years ago), they had the Angus 1/3 pounders. They flopped hard. Exact same reasoning, both from their corporate offices and me anecdotally, people are fucking stupid. They really thought they were getting ripped off because the quarter pounder was more meat than the 1/3 pound Angus burger according to them. I, tiny teenage me tried explaining it to them, to no avail. Fucking morons.

You want to lose hope for the human race, work in a service industry

Seasons 1 - Battle of the Bastards was some of the best television I've seen in my life. Truly masterpiece, all the way through. I've never seen that level of excitement either from fans, we had watch parties every year. That's what made the ending sting so badly, was because of how good it was.

It's how Hulu started too, it was a magical time. Watch 1 30 second ad before each episode.

I'm glad physical media is starting to make a comeback. I know people who kept Netflix for well over 5 years just for friends "so they could watch it whenever they wanted". Never thought about buying the discs. "They're so expensive".

120 for all the seasons forever, or (at the time) 14 a month for 5 years, which is $840. I'm sure there were other things to watch time to time, but shit adds up folks. Just go buy the blurays of TNG

Agreed, these are two different things meant for two different purposes. At this point nothing beats audiobookshelf

Yup, it's the same people that come here, say horribly offensive stuff, and then get offended when people tell them to shut the hell up and ban them. They're all for "free speech" but are not so great with the whole "free to not be forced to listen to them" bit.

However, my answer is always the same to them. We're federated. If you don't like it, to set up your own instance and allow whatever you want, and I can maintain my freedom to defederate from said instance. The one kudos to this guy is he did take that on, and is willing to risk hosting that content. Good for them. I'll be banning the url from my instance

Check out the owncast communities instead. Self hosted federated streaming, mostly us Linux nerds

Unfortunately shows that even if you are rich, it doesn't mean you know how to manage money well. I've always been conflicted about Britney for the conservatorship. Looking at this shows why. Her family were not acting in her best interests, but she also (still) does not know how to manage that fortune either. Most of these (let's admit) kids who are suddenly wealthy do not understand how money works.

Even with a failed your, he should have enough money to recover and live very comfortably the rest of his life without ever dreaming of selling his catalogue. But, spending as he did, well, here we are

 

A simple reminder today, if you're trying Experimental (and maybe even if not because why not), to go in and BACKUP YOUR SAVES. Especially if you're new to experimental, this is real beta testing, saves do get corrupted and you cannot go back once your save is upgraded

Holy shit, talk about everything people hate about Americans wrapped into a single person. Zero empathy for other people around her, so selfish that she twists herself into thinking she's right, and worse tries to gaslight the reader into thinking they're wrong for ever thinking about other people or respect.

It reminds me of the first time I was in DC. I visited the WW2 memorial and it was one of the first times it hit me, I had multiple family members in the war, and I was walking around to the states. Serene. Peaceful, reflecting. Then a family came by and two kids got in the pool. And worse the family laughed and started taking pictures. One of the most disrespectful things I've ever seen, just spitting in the face of the people who had died.

 

How many things can you see that are coming? I've counted quite a few new things!

1.1 SpoilerHypertube splitters!

 

Title essentially. Youtube's algorithm is hot garbage, so I can't search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?
