Who could forget the op-ed Carter wrote for The Onion.

As it currently stands, my Plex setup costs me nothing because all I do it stream from my server to my Apple TV. So it works well enough for me.

Can’t slow down videos I’ve downloaded to my Plex server. 👍🏽

As someone who uses and enjoys a MacBook, but who has recently moved away from iOS; one of the biggest problems I have with tech right now is how much ALL of the companies cripple their products so as to not cannibalise another. And I think Apple are the worst for it.

I have a 6th gen iPad mini. Its form factor is perfect for hand held reading, social media, and the like. If I could plug it into a monitor and use Stage Manager to carry out light computing tasks it would be perfect. But Apple decided it simply wasn’t powerful enough, so didn’t enable it. It absolutely could do that, but that would have been one less selling point for the Airs and Pros. So Apple restricted it.

I’m old enough to remember when you’d buy computing stuff that had no restrictions beyond what it was physically capable of. You could buy a shitty graphics card and you could play a game, but if the card wasn’t up to the task it would run like crap. There are games and apps you literally cannot buy for lower end models of Apple devices. If you’ve already bought it on a device that can run it, it’s not available to another that can’t.

All so they can maintain their air of quality.

Fuck Apple. They make great hardware, but they’re run by cunts.

Yeah, my mum bought a laptop that only had 512mb RAM and that ran like shiiiiiit. Trying to troubleshoot for her left absolutely certain that Vista was a dog.

Personally I don’t use YouTube the website at all at this point. I’m 100℅ Freetube and yt-dlp/Plex for watching the channels I like.

I learned recently that yt-dlp works with the iPlayer, though it’s capped at 720p for some reason. However, get_iplayer can download 1080p as long as you add --tv-quality=fhd to the command.

To make it look cool it would have to be xXxTheChildPredatorxXx

Stage Manager.

My 6th gen mini simply didn’t have enough power for that, so I’m assuming it’ll get fucked in the ass again by this OS.

If you were there he wouldn’t do or say a thing.

It was a bitch playing MP3s on a punch card though.

Top tier victim blaming, my friend.

Because they both have skin. Keep up.

If you don’t give the dick a little suck, how can you really know how nice it is?

An Indian shop keeper in my town just stood for Reform at the council elections last month. I can’t wrap my head around it.

I mean, sure, he’s there for the reduced beauracracy and borderline libertarianism that also includes sucking off those with more money, but that comes with the racism. So much racism.

He didn’t win, of course, but if he had, then what? A member of party who members hate him because of who his grandparents were. Bizarre.

I set up Wallabag on my Kobo last week and really don’t like it when compared with the default Pocket implementation. Having to mess about getting it set up, and having to install KOReader just to replicate a function I already had and used extensively is irritating as hell. And it’s not as good either.

Fuck Mozilla. They didn’t have to buy Pocket, and they didn’t have to shut it down. The pricks.

Which 4th May is this from? Because if it’s from 2007 then that’s a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it’s from last month then I really hope he’s only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.

I showed this genuine masterpiece to my partner last night, and they were mystified as to why I found it so incredible.

This should be hung in the Louvre. Fuck the Mona Lisa right off and get this up.
