I mean.... On the things to cave on... Caving on a tax paid by CANADIANS is not the worst thing in the world.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 0 points 46 minutes ago

Becuase it maaaaaaybe dissuades SOME people from buying the service so there's maaaaaaybe less revenue for the mega corps.

So yea... It maybe kinda sorta... Hurts mega corps, but it absolutely is a tax paid by Canadians.

Now you might say the tax is good because it funds shit for Canadians, but that's a separate argument.

So yea, this is maybe? good for Canadians, since Canadians are getting absolutely FUCKED by anything digital / mobile / internet related.

If anything I'd love to see the Canadian market forced open for US telecoms, because as shitty as telecom is in the US its far FAR worse in Canada.

God damn, this is an awesome level headed comment.

I like that you are BOTH right.

"Both sides" has definitely changed in meaning. Every time I read it I just assume it's some right wing dipshit trying to muddy the waters.

Your point is totally valid though, misinformation comes and can come from anywhere, especially online.

Keep up the good work both of you!

You're 100% right.

Linux Mint is not hard to learn at all, it's almost identical to windows.

The problem is the random ass shit you have to debug that the average user will not do and conclude Linux sucks.

IE if you have an Nvidia card, which shit loads of people do, you will struggle with bullshit just having two monitors...

If you have Logitech devices, which shit load of people do, you won't have drivers and you'll have to fuck around dealing with shit.

In addition to other quirky shit that happens on Linux some not really Linux fault and some just is.

That said one of the good things about chat gtp / ai is that they are actually really helpful at debugging Linux.

So yea... Linux isn't just plug and play, the way windows is. Windows steals your data and has shit loads of bloat but just like cellphones the average person doesn't give a shit nor does he understand how / why windows is awful.

Magats shit on women... Still get women votes... Shit in soliders still get soldiers votes... Shit on Mexicans.... Still get Mexican votes... Shit on men...still get men votes...

I don't know who this says more about... The voting group or Democrats that can't win despite this shit.

It kind of makes sense in the US, because the US is CONSTANTLY at war with someone / something, so unless people volunteer, there's a good chance the draft would be back and a bunch of people would be forced to go.

I know nothing about this man.

But since Trump hates him he must be awsome

Just make sure to add git and node_modules as exclusions

 

Does anyone have any idea where to find the original Punk'd episodes? I was having some nostalgia and it seems like that show was nuked from the internet. Any chance anyone has a copy somewhere somehow?

I'm running a raspberry pi 8GB version, as my plex entertainment center. I also ruin a pihole. The pie has an Ethernet connection.

I have two TV'S, a 2017 Samsung and a 2021 Hisense. Both with Ethernet connections.

My Samsung tv can't stream certain shows at all, they stutter like crazy I'm guessing it has something to do with the encoders? Yesterday I got a message color range not supported whatever the hell that is.

The Hisense TV does better on some shows, but still 4k content is unwatchable, it's constantly buffering.

So, is the problem with the pi? Is it not powerful enough for 4k shows, or some encoding problem or something?

Or is it the TVS, should I buy a Roku box instead, would that solve the streaming problems?

 
 
 

I'm using wefwef and I only see the total number for a post. So +15 or - 12 or whatever.

That's how it is on reddit and I believe it's one of the main reason discussion turned so toxic. Everyone is just looking at the number and deciding if a point is valid.

Seeing a comment with -1000/+900 is a lot different than just seeing - 100.

I believe it fosters toxicity and stifles discussion.
