James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Open Source@lemmy.ml•The IRS Tax Filing Software TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open SourcedEnglish21·7 days agoFirst of all, you are on feddit.nl and cannot speak for"Lemmy". That said- if anything, “Lemmy” users should be supporting independent journalism like 404 Media.

They do not ask for a phone number.
The growth of the network*
There are many platforms in the Fediverse. The fact that the network can survive the collapse of one platform is a strength of decentralization. The Lemmy/mbin/piefed universe can only ever be exactly as big as we, the users, want it to be.

M*A*S*H is a very good show, it’s aged (a little too) well and the jokes still land to this day. Highly recommended.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•I'm very bad at convincing people to care about their privacyEnglish31·19 days agoWell said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they’re out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I contribute processing power to the community?English4·20 days agoA Fedi instance requires a time commitment, there are some good suggestions in here but I recommend some alternative frontends.
Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.
I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.
I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish53·1 month agoThe Remote Watch Pass is only needed if neither you nor the server owner have a Plex pass: https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/
When using an affected platform to stream personal video content remotely from a Plex Media Server, then one of the following needs to be true:
- The admin account for the Plex Media Server has an active Plex Pass (which also allows remote playback for any other user streaming from that server)
- Your account has an active Plex Pass
- Your account has an active Remote Watch Pass
The remote playback restrictions do not apply to streaming music content to Plexamp or photos to our Plex Photos app.
Exactly, otherwise it’s just, well, scrolling.
