I got tired of jumping around between streaming services to get deals and save money. I noticed that a couple major music streamers seemed to collude to raise rates at the same time, and I’m tired of that. I’m setting up my Plex server with some Black Friday deals and am looking forward to enjoying having that at my disposal.
My exact reaction too. They’re just steamrolling civilians in Gaza. I guess our relationship with them as an armed ally in the area is more important than some light genocide.
Just my opinion, but we knew this would happen eventually. I’m in my 40s and remember hearing enough about Israel in my teens and 20s that I’ve always thought of them as the “wish a motherfucker would” type. And here we are.
We’ll figure it out together. If we don’t comment and post content, I fear that we’ll never really sustain the kind of success we hope to replicate from the other place.
This sounds much easier than creating a society where people feel happy and secure enough to have families. I wonder when 45 will add this to his campaign checklist.
Team Visible here too. I wanted unlimited so I can stream at work and do some things the firewall would forbid. It’s also just my wife and me, so we don’t need four lines. They’ve been excellent for the three months we’ve had them. It’s my first experience with e-sim, and that has been smooth. I’m a little apprehensive about switching it over when we upgrade phones, but we’ll figure it out.
I’m admittedly not well-versed in international affairs, but hasn’t Israel been waiting for an opportunity to do exactly what they’re doing for decades? We’ve armed them to the tooth, and that has always been at least a little concerning because we understood this to be their disposition. I fully expected some light genocide after hearing about the Hamas attack. It’s looking like they might exceed expectations too. I’m a little shocked at our indifference.
They’ve maneuvered themselves to the point where they’re just another cable to cut. I’m about to hop in my big ship and cut the cable holding it to the dock. It’s the high seas for me!
I’m going to complain about not having a primary option for president, vote for the left-most person I can in the primary, and then vote down-ballot (D) in November. There’s nothing I need to research with respect to these modern conservatives. Most democrats aren’t really much better in most ways, but at least I can look my marginalized friends and colleagues in the eye after the election.

I’m in Lemmy and Mastodon. I left Twitter for good about a week after the Tesla guy acquired it and made his first flex on the app. I don’t even remember what it was, but I didn’t want to be a part of his toy, and all he has done is prove me right over and over. I left Reddit within a couple days of the announcement that mobile app developers were getting screwed, and I’d essentially have to switch to the native app to use a full-featured Reddit. It seemed like a crappy thing to do since developers like LJ Dawson (Sync), the Relay person, etc are who really built Reddit since Reddit was slow to get into apps.
I use Discord but only because it’s what’s required for a gaming guild, and my dynasty fantasy baseball league uses it too. I have no interest in using it outside of that.
I’ve never really used Youtube, so I haven’t checked out Peertube. Likewise, I never really used Insta, so I haven’t looked that closely at Pixelfed. I’m considering Pixelfed since I’m a hobby photographer, but I share my pics on my personal website (I don’t care who sees them tbh, it’s fun for me) and on my FB. I can’t seem to shed FB with so many people I know using that to stay in touch and schedule events, and the Marketplace is leagues better than Craigslist.
