But compare with GOG then. They sell games, you download them with no DRM so you own the download essentially.

This is the model digital media should take, frankly. Anything less may as well be misleading marketing, as far as I’m concerned.

Here’s what you do:

Find a place still stocking it, see if you can find someone that knows when the shipments come in or contact info for the folks that ship it, stake out the store for when the deliveries come in to ask the delivery people where they load up their inventory or contact the shipping people for the address of the distribution center.

Okay, lot of work involved upfront, I know, but once you get the distro center’s info, you’re close to the gold. Figure out their operating hours and begin the heist plans, then execute them perfectly so that you come out with a lifetime supply of the drink. The next tricky part will be storage, but look at what you already learned you could do to get your prize. Next up? Squatting industrial refrigeration units until you’ve savored every lost drop of this stuff.

Makes sense!

I set up Wireguard simply to get a rough understanding of how to do so & to try to access some home resources while away, which works well enough across simpler network situations, but as you indicate, breaks down against more complicated network situations.

Similar might be running Wireguard yourself, right? Albeit if memory serves that setup tends to require port forwarding, so maybe not (or maybe I set it up wrong).

Probably for similar reasons as to why they moved from Reddit. Also configuring their own instance to approximate a traditional forum would honestly kind of undermine the whole point of using Lemmy or the like to begin with (at least imo).

I understand the sentiment of wanting them to to make their stuff easier to follow & post to from here and other places in the Fediverse, but from what they wrote, I get the sense that this format simply isn’t what they were ever looking for in terms of fielding discussions/questions. Their move to Reddit was more of a compromise for where they were at with the project at the time, but now that Jellyfin’s more developed in terms of the software and community, a forum is a more workable prospect.

Speaking of edits, Lemmy’s edit federation works as well!

Lmao, the best part of this goof is that you accidentally demonstrated a way to sort of post with separate title/body text.

It looks like a title may only be 90 characters on Lemmy, so I guess you could make the title text then pad out with spaces (or whatever) to then separate out into distinct body text.

This is why I posted it tbh, as I imagined there may be many that don’t realize how much of “AI” is a lot of manual labor being obfuscated by shiny tech.

If you look into self-driving & remote workers or labor, you can find similar accounts. Some companies trying to market their self-driving services are in reality being heavily supported by remote workers monitoring the vehicles & correcting errors or outright driving the cars in some instances. Remote operations themselves aren’t really a problem, of course, but the deliberate attempts to present vehicles as fully self-driven are.

This may seem a tad ironic since I’m posting here in the fediverse, but I think we should also be encouraging a variety of alternative, self-hostable options, e.g. Postmill (similar to reddit but not federated), Discourse (more of a classic forum structure but with some modernizations), etc.

Not everyone will want to try to figure out federation/ActivityPub, and that’s okay, because there are more options that folks can spin up. The fediverse, imo, benefits as much from other self-hosted sites as it does from those that connect with it.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wields considerable influence over technology. Now, they are soliciting public comments on the business practices of so-called “cloud computing” providers.
