I have been pondering very heavily my public commentary response since learning about the planning of this event. I ponder it with the weight of history and, more importantly, the legality of what I would write. Cheerfully, I live in France - a free country with a well known history of deposing a king in a brutal, violent, and public way just mere minutes on the metro from where I happen to live.

But that is history. Of course, I highly doubt that les forces de l’ordre would ever turn me over to any prosecutorial power for what I have to say about my desire for the fate of the current occupant of the White House, but a platform even as liberal as this might still have to consider it’s own legal standing in regards to what one might wish to publicly write.

I therefore continue to be at an impasse.

I completely removed myself from Amazon since a few years and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone should do this.

I’ve never used Plex, but I have my own server at Hetzner with large drives and I love my Jellyfin server. I use it every day for shows, movies, and tons of music at home, in the metro, and walking around town and traveling. I’ve never had a problem with it. Honestly, it’s fantastic.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 You just made me laugh in public. 😃 Love it!

I really hate how Republicans are portrayed by the Elephant. I wish we could saddle them with another mascot. I know that the Elephant is their official symbol, but I don’t care. Elephants are intelligent, sensitive, kind, and even helpful creatures who would never be Republicans. 😕

This just warms my heart. 😃👍 Ahhh…if only he stole even more of their money. And then they’d end up on the street, he’d be finally impeached, and then imprisoned, and those idiots might get back 5% of the money they lost, so they’d still be screwed.

Not exactly. If I were to tell you that I believe in creationism and that the world is 6000 years old, but that it means what you think evolution and cosmology mean and that I’m just using different words, you probably still wouldn’t want me teaching your kids in school about science.

Or, at least, I would hope not.

This from the people who elected a notorious pedophile, “thinking” that he would find the real pedophiles.

Back in my day, they were doing this on slide rules! 😃

Looks like we need to show it to Bisop Brennan!

But do you wear an onion on your belt? 😃

It’s always gratifying to see another “old person” in the comments. 😃

Sent you a DM.

Well, the good news for me personally is that since a year, I’ve been getting off of the American tech stack, hosting in Europe, with .eu domains, using aliases for emails on my own email server, locking down my stuff, and erasing what there is from iCloud, Google, etc… Completely. I wrote a long basic how-to a month ago to help others, and have been meaning to update it more. I’ve also been migrating my startup company’s setup to do the same. It’s all done now and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ve also been encouraging others online and friends and family to do the same. I even have a few of them using my Nextcloud server nearly full time now.

So I am trying to help. 😃

Some of it is, I’m sure. But the reason I posted it was because it had a lot of detailed information which I hadn’t seen before. It was literally my first post on Lemmy today, other than comments. I hope I didn’t make a faux pas.

All of my domains are .eu and are hosted in Europe and are under European GDPR rights.

One reason to use Matrix on your own server.

There are many good people who die every day - people who cared for others, didn’t discriminate, didn’t belittle race, sex, gender, or wanting a better world.

Chuck Norris was not such a person, and deserves no sympathy from me.

So, basically: Rotting flesh-eating zombie bees produce honey which few outside of a certain cultural milieu will ever find appetizing or acceptable? 😃
