Think of it like voting to change the thermostat

Say you want 72F and neither candidate is close. Well, no party is going to think they can get away with running a candidate who is pushing for 72F when the existing options are 32F and 212F. A progressive party might think 35F is ok or even 40F but 72F? Surely they would just lose the election outright.

By putting in for the 32F team, you’re trying to bring the average temperature closer to 72F. If you and a few million like you start pushing together, the party will eventually start running candidates calling for 40, 50, 60 degrees. 72F may be a long way off but if you don’t move the needle the candidates never get better.

So for now? Vote for 32F, hand out blankets, and tell everyone else the end goal is 72F. Reassess if/when we progress if the best choice is still the cold team.

Do you even need to run the server locally? I’m still working on transitioning to Jellyfin but Plex would let you download media to watch offline. Just natively in the app, no need to install the server on the vacation device.

I think the point is you’re exaggerating how easy it is for the average person to install and use something like Graphene - people are arguing it’s less that Google allows it and more that white hats have forced it and I don’t think that’s an unfair statement. Like - I’m techy, own a phone running Graphene, and will have to look into the Aurora store - hadn’t heard of it before this!

Apple seems to be pretty privacy forward at the moment and it’s true that they sell hardware more so than software, and WAY moreso than user data. For people who can’t figure out something like Graphene, Apple is certainly a better choice than Googled Android. And I think that’s valuable to be able to tell people in this day and age even if Graphene would be best overall

Graphene doesn’t completely strip Google software though, it sandboxes it. You still gotta use the play store to install most apps for example.

What’s not working for you?

For me after a decade using -arr the only thing I’ve had significant issues with has been trying to use the Tailscale integration on Unraid 7 to tunnel the dockers through an exit node which is… not at all the fault of -arr containers lol

I guess I’m saying for now it makes sense that people would at least cross post

Folks gotta post here at some point to get the ball rolling but like, I found an aquaponics sub and posted there to literally zero response. I legitimately cannot use that instead of Reddit yet; there’s nothing to use. I posted anyway to try, just don’t shame me when I cross post the question back to Reddit due to silence here, yknow?

Reddit for the most part has FAR more active niche communities. If you’re mostly looking for Lemmy versions of subs that frequently hit /all you’re probably fine; but I also looked for subs like aquaponics and ROG Ally and found pretty much crickets on Lemmy.

For now, I’m on both, because some of what I want from Lemmy doesn’t exist here yet. But I’m participating where I can in to try and help populate it so it eventually becomes viable for niches as well

I believe it. I got warned and had my comment deleted for “glorifying violence”

I was supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods.

Let that sink in - I was reprimanded for glorifying violence because I supported economic protests.

What is an economic protest if not literally the primary, go-to alternative to violent protest?

I only got warned but my comment was removed - I was supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods. Admin said I was “glorifying violence”

…I supported economic protests; that’s literally the primary non-violent option lmao

Places in video games is one option for me especially in cluster setups. EG cluster Tamriel has nodes Morrowind, Skyrim, Oblivion, etc.

I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time
