TORFdot0 , to technology in Amazon lays off 500 Twitch employees, hundreds more at MGM and Prime Video

Is twitch or prime video even profitable? I’m pretty sure twitch isn’t but prime might be just due to locking people in to making their e-commerce purchases on amazon

TORFdot0 , to technology in Amazon lays off 500 Twitch employees, hundreds more at MGM and Prime Video

The fiduciary responsibility standard is there to protect people’s retirement which is all in the market. It sucks that people are losing are being laid off but I don’t think changing the standard would give these people their jobs back.

TORFdot0 , (edited ) to technology in Oppenheimer and the resurgence of Blu-ray and DVDs: How to stop your films and music from disappearing

After reviewing your link, my existing bluray drive happens to be on the list. But I didn’t do any flashing or anything along those lines. I just downloaded the software at it worked and so I paid for it.

I have the LG WH16NS40 for your reference

edit: checking out the FAQ on the site, looks like for 4k blurays it is recommended to flash the firmware, I only have 1 4k bluray (I don’t have a 4k TV) and it seemed to rip fine but I used handbrake to downscale it to 1080p to save space since I don’t have a 4k television

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Power drunk mods

The market will decide whether mods are in the wrong or not. If you feel like you have been wronged by power tripping mods then feel free to start your own instance and own community and people will join if the situation is that bad.

Having an election for mods is redundant when federated networks are democratic by their nature and how their users use them. Having an “election” is potentially less democratic because it’s an arbitrary vote rather than letting people vote with where they decide to hold their accounts and the subscriptions.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Oppenheimer and the resurgence of Blu-ray and DVDs: How to stop your films and music from disappearing

My set up is a $70 Blu-ray drive and a $50 software (but it’s free if you use the beta)

As far as I know, it’s compatible with all Blu-ray drives, just google MakeMKV

TORFdot0 , to technology in Oppenheimer and the resurgence of Blu-ray and DVDs: How to stop your films and music from disappearing

My mkv software says otherwise.

TORFdot0 , to selfhosted in Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

Cloudflare sells domains at cost. If you use apple devices and pay for iCloud+ ($1.99 a month for the cheapest plan), you can get email hosting for your domain for the entire family + a catch all address.

You can run an email host yourself but it is going to cost more in time and effort to maintain than just paying for hosting. It’s not very professional if your messages go to spam due to low reputation or if you miss a message/someone gets a bounce back because the container running your mail server was down and you didn’t realize

Run mail on a custom domain for fun, to learn what it takes, but don’t do it for mail that really matters

That hate chicken is delicious and efficient, it’s a shame it’s anti-lgbt

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Where did the exploding-heads people go?

They exploded

TORFdot0 , to games in Has Bowser finally turned good and gave up on hunting Peach?

Mario straight up kills bowser toward the end of New Super Mario Bros before being revived by a spell from Bowser Jr.

That’s where “Dry Bowser” comes from

TORFdot0 , to selfhosted in AppleTV complete replacement opinions

Apple is a hardware company first, not an advertising and services company like Google and Roku, and not a literal massive online retailer like Amazon.

Apple TV is the only one that doesn’t have ads on its home screen. I use an Apple TV to play all my physical media that has been ripped to mov and re-encoded with handbrake

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in How did you pick the name of your child/children?

My daughters’ name came to me in a dream while my wife was pregnant. My oldest son, I wanted to name after a baseball player for my favorite team and my wife ended up picking a name that wasn’t that but was close. My youngest son was the same except was my favorite player on my favorite team on OOTP (a baseball sim video game)

Both players’ careers tanked after my sons were born so I’m thankful my wife didn’t let me name them after those players

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in Why isn't anyone farting in school?
  1. Go to the bathroom between passing periods and let one out.
  2. Improve your diet, don’t drink carbonated drinks.
  3. I can’t believe I’m having this interaction on Lemmy
TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Concerns about lemmy.world

I actually have noticed a few times in the last few days that Lemmy world has timed out. But it has never actually been down for me. I would chalk it up to the higher resource usage of v0.19, hopefully that gets addressed by the Lemmy devs or World beefs things up a bit

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Concerns about lemmy.world

Lemmy.World hasn’t had many major issues since September, at least when I’ve been using it. It was really bad in the early days from June to August when they were constantly getting traffic + getting DDOS’d. It seems like they’ve had the best uptime overall, since then though
