Soo what is the message here?

That proselytizing about atheism without considering the needs and character of your audience can be just as bad as religion doing the same.

Love is more important than being right, and the son in the comic very clearly didn't show any. As soon as he proved his point, he left to go celebrate with his friends rather than spend time with his mother. He failed to show her that just because there is no big sky god doesn't mean that is no love.

I too was unsatisfied with jellyfin's music handling. Not only was the website disorganized and bad at using the built-in album art, but all the android music players i could find for it were also barely usable as well.

I can't use musicbee because it's windows only. I still want synchronized play history, metadata updates, and everything between my phone, pc, and mp3 player so a single OS software was out of the question.

I use a combination of beets, navidrome, and tempo. Beets is the metadata manager; once i've beet imported an album, it's ready for navidrome to pick it up and serve it to any of my devices. (I have a custom sync script for my mp3 player that does the same). Navidome serves the music to any connected devices, converts it on the fly to lower quality (for low speed phone network situations) and also keeps track of my play counts, and my playlists for me. It's not nearly as complicated as some of the other setups, which I also prefer.

I use tempo on my phone to connect to navidrome on the go and it has worked out incredibly well so far.

They're 60$ each. I literally almost bought two without even thinking about if i even should.

My parents have been doing this for the past two years; grandpa moved in half a year before they passed away, so kom and dad have been doing their best to give away all my grandparents hoarded stuff ever since.

Nothing so complicated. They just split the timeline into two. The first, they leave untouched. The second, they make their pitch about multiversal simulation results. If someone bites, they then use that untouched branch to simulate the bad decisions. Then they bring those results over to the first timeline and get their pay.

If theyre shitty at their jobs they just leave those bad decision timelines laying around until they eventually collapse, but a good timeline simulator will usually clean up after themselves.

"Collapsing the timelines" in this case is just pruning the results to show only what the client is after. It's a major part of journeyman timeline simulators job to learn how to do effectively.

Decent is good and nice, etc. Dissent is disagreement and contrary opinions.

All of the food delivery apps require a login in order to be used.

I have checked them out several times, but never actually ordered anything specifically because of that.

You know, it's really funny. This is the first image I've seen on fedia this week that made me go "this can't possibly be safe for work" on like, an instinctive level. It wasn't the grossly exaggerated anime girls with bulging everything, the sock-wearing ladies, or even a painting of a Lady in her underwear smoking a post-coitus cigarette.

It was this thumbnail that made me go 'I gotta hide this from coworkers passing by'.

So anyways anybody else answer "why not both" to the bear or man in the woods question?

Craft Computing on YouTube does these videos semi-regularly as well. Makes something from weird and cheap parts and then gives the results of how well it works or doesn't, as well as what quirks you take as trade. For example; https://youtube.com/watch?v=VTWaRBcOsBE

Counterpoint; it required gigabit internet and still had noticable delay to my eyes. It also had compression artifacts as well as low-medium graphics settings. It also hitched semi-regularly for no apparent reason.

All the above meant that stadia was only good for people with the money to spend on it and located in an area with fast internet and didn't play any FPSes. It was too many requirements to be a popular thing, kinda like VR is.

It also suffered from the "games get removed straight from my library" problem. They also couldn't support every game, or even the bare minimum if most popular right now, simply because they had to make sure it's supported on their backend.

It should have stuck around, but I don't think it would be a big thing until much later when internet is actually decent in most places, instead of a very select few.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while. My parents and older siblings had juno email addresses through our ISP way back in the day. If you check their website they're still not on https yet.

Maybe I'd want that for email, but frankly I check that often enough that even that isnt needed. I consider phone notification management to be a chore, why would I ever want to add that chore to my desktop?
