Netanyahu has gone on record saying he has helped prop Hamas up in order to sow division between Gaza and the West Bank.

Hamas is now a convenient excuse to further colonize Gaza. Israel knew about the 10/7 attack more than a week in advance.

I’ve been liking KBin a lot, I definitely recommend checking it out.

The sub’s older brother always gets to use the good controller.

I’m morbidly curious to see what the right-wing talking points will be about this, because it’s going to be an amazing exercise in mental gymnastics.

Chips Deluxen’t.

Considering the Reddit API changes are leaving an enormous amount of mobile dev talent flapping in the breeze, I’m really looking forward to seeing some really innovative apps in the nearish future.

100% agreed on the advice to just start going with it on your current setup. That’s exactly how I started out with Plex and it worked really well.

I’ve since made upgrades, but it’s all been incremental based on what has been helpful at the time. For instance, I got an Nvidia Shield Pro and started running Plex on that, which has been nice since I don’t need to keep my desktop on all the time. I also use it for streaming games from my desktop to the TV, so it’s not purely just for Plex.

After building up a lot of media, I got a bit concerned about having a single point of failure in my single HDD, so that’s when I got a Synology NAS box and I have their RAID setup going for redundancy. I could also just run Plex from the NAS box and I’ve been considering it, but I’ve been really happy with how things are working right now, so I’m not messing with it.

Yeah, Cloudflare offers domain registration at cost, which is pretty hard to beat.

A tamale is a ravioli, confirmed.

All of the Supergiant games are amazing. All hits, no misses.

An authoritarian isn’t simply the person at the top, it is also all of the people who support them. Authoritarians like the comfort of being told what’s good and what’s bad. Life is simpler when those difficult moral choices are made for you and you free yourself of the responsibility of them. They don’t believe they’re at fault if those choices end up being disastrous because they were just following along, it wasn’t their idea after all.

Of course that’s all nonsense, but the point is that it’s a comfortable fiction which means it is very appealing to someone who is susceptible to that mindset.

Yeah, it took me some time to wrap my head around this when I started getting into Mastodon. Thankfully it became intuitive pretty quick.
