OP accidentally reveals their fetish.

(Just joking, but this is hilarious for some reason, I’m sorry)

Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

That’s a lot of words to be summed up as “conservatives crying about not being allowed to lie with impunity and pretend that those lies are somehow legitimate journalism and should be allowed to be considered as a reliable source.”

Like fuck me, it’s a neverending quest to be the fucking victims of their own ineptitude and chicanery yet blame it on everyone else.

Thanks, David Gerard, for your work at Wikipedia, and for your sweet, sweet Lemmy instance awful.systems.

Honestly the biggest thing all of us is missing to take it down is financial capital.

To get the kind of capital you need to take down YouTube, you need investment money from the kind of investors who will force you to enshittify to afford paying them back.

The financial issue is the biggest one, when it comes to any and all of these.

Glorified VLC.

Look, for me to “stream” movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn’t like certain file types/encodes.

Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.

These fins are jellied, mate.

Their customer service first fucked me back in the Nexus 4 days.

I was poor and didn’t have the money to buy a new phone for their RMA program and then wait for the money to be returned.

I was told there was no way to send in the old phone first. I had to buy a new one and then send the old one in to get it replaced.

I was never able to get a fixed Nexus 4.

Expertly said and agreed on all points. Yeah, regular people wouldn’t accept Henry Rollins in bottom row, even if it’s accurate. Cheers!

Hard to take any storm seriously when you’ve had a snowstorm up your nose half your life.

Is there any picture of this guy where he doesn’t looked coked out of his mind?

It’s not, unfortunately. I was positing, would it read as misogynistic (I can see why you read it that way) if instead it had been a punk artist who was also a woman? Because then at least it would be women paired up against women with a similar message.

But I also agree with the likes of Theodor Adorno in that capitalist modes of production have been influencing the art of music negatively for a hundred years or more. (As such, punk hasn’t been safe from such capitalist influence, for example)

In other words, I agree with the sentiment that capitalism is making music less dangerous and anodyne, but I also see how this meme is formatted in a way that can be read as misogynistic.

Edit: Or you could switch the bottom pics out for stuff like the bands The 1975 or Imagine Dragons. There’s definitely some real shitty all-dude bands.

What if the top photo was from a Bikini Kill show instead?

The real captains logs are the voice notes you make to yourself on the toilet.

I feel that. That’s why I said it was a joke. If I could get all my people off Discord and on Matrix I would but oh well.

Matrix/Element would be my preferred as I could self-host, but I don’t have better suggestions that are more like Telegram I am sorry to say.

In Ghostbusters, ghosts are real.

In Scooby Doo, ghosts are actually rich, greedy white men in a costume trying to scare off those meddling kids.

So are the ghosts real or not?

All I know is the kids in the Mystery Machine have good weed.

It’s just a joke. I don’t want you to actually feel bad.

But you should do some research on Telegram, and the fact that they rolled ads out on its own should be a giant Red Flag waving you down. They’re not a good company, and their homespun encryption is dubious at best.

It’s cops, cops, cops!
