"Grow the fediverse!"

But also "not you or that or this."

I dislike seeing the negative votes. Just let people do their their thing and either join it or don't.

This is not a rebuttal, I agree with everything you are saying, and i'd like to make a point.

Some would say these events are caused by their savior/Messiah. I think that adds to the hope that an alternative singular person would step up to "save" everyone.

I still have this file and checked it out about a month ago. I skipped around and it still fascinates me getting that look behind the curtain of how it's made.

A lot of valid reasons for the price to be high but that's still a lot of money. $80 for a game hurts. It went from a must buy early this year when I heard about it to ehh... Maybe I'll see what happens first.

I think it kind of depends on your career up until that point. I have a lot of certifications and work experience. I list my past jobs, bullet point out my accomplishments. There is no about me section, or paragraphs. It's bullet points and a section for clubs, volunteer work, certifications and school.

If you have less experience then you may want to do schooling first, with projects and accomplishments, clubs, etc and then any work experience.

The idea is be truthful, but not modest. This is what you are capable of, tell them. I completed project a for b reason by doing c things which resulted in d success. Define those variables over and over again.

They've been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don't know what to do with. Not like I'll upload it again but it's just files I have with no purpose now.

I want to switch to jellyfin, I selfhost but I don't want to open a port directly to my server. I don't understand how everyone else figures this out and I'm apparently an idiot.

Also do people expect all who use my server to start a VPN each time? What if they leave it on and their other streaming services are using my bandwidth.

I don't understand and I have looked it up but I don't see a consensus.

They just put out a huge update for the shield. Mine still plays the vast majority of things perfectly, even hevc and 4k content. I am perfectly happy with my shield pro. I'd buy one again if the current one shits the bed.

What are my other options? Apple TV and what else? Everything else is ad ridden underpowered and lacking licenses to play media.

This meme made me gasp loud enough that my girlfriend was worried something was wrong.

Then I had to explain that I'm 41 years old and was just shocked by a dinosaur fact.

It is entirely possible I am remembering it more fondly than it deserves but I don't remember thinking it was garbage at the time. There's enough reviews of everything everywhere, so I'm not attempting to give one.

Season 1 is something I enjoyed a lot though.

The other seasons were okay, actually they were good compared to most other shows and I love how each season is its own unique story unrelated to other seasons. I think order could go, season 1, season 4 and then 2 and 3.

Season 1 is on another level though, just an incredible watch.
