Jellyfin supports DV as well, so it isn’t a reason after all.

Does anyone have a working setup

Any Jellyfin setup would do, as long as whatever you’re watching it on supports DV.

I should make an alt that ends every sentence with “wot, wot”, and say it’s to poison AI so everybody just puts up with it 🤣

Since AN was mentioned, we enable/disable them based upon the overall whims of our community, just as we decide everything. there’s no long-term commitment to anything, because times and feelings change and we don’t see any reason to be held down to something if we decide to go another way.

when it’s the last resort to self defense. at that point, it’s not only the only viable solution, but the morally obligated one.

I know you’re feeling very self-righteous right now, but I hope at some point you can calm down enough to step back and realize this is such a silly thing to be getting so dramatic over.

it’s not really a question of working or not, is it? it’s a question of what words mean. if somebody says why isn’t an orange considered an apple, it’s perfectly normal to say it’s because they’re two different things. you wouldn’t say, “do what works for you, make an apple pie with oranges”, would you?

you can listen from their website, or load up their stream in a media player.

I imagine virtually all of the camgirls on OnlyFans are consenting. there might be somebody on there that has some dude with a gun off-camera forcing them to do stuff, but I can’t recall ever hearing about it.

Because the addiction compromises you and your judgement.

so does having questioned the US or Israeli governments, or participated in any protests or activism. as an example, yours was a pretty bad one.

As much as I wish this dude would immediately suffer cardiac arrest from a clogged artery, him being a former addict has nothing to do with anything, and in itself doesn’t devalue anything he says. That kind of thinking is pretty problematic, and you need to have a real hard think about the way you obviously look down on people who are recovering from addiction, cause honestly you’re being pretty shitty right now.

I’m not explaining this to somebody again.

there’s also nothing inherently wrong with a porn magazine from a feminist perspective. sex work is real work, and just because the publication is made for the male gaze doesn’t mean it’s problematic if the women are being paid well and treated right. if it were otherwise, then sex work itself would be problematic.

None other than Radio Rivendell. Been listening to them ever since the days when I played Second Life.

Everyone from my instance sees my votes. Which are the people who matter to me. Federate means between instances. A fair portion of our communities are similar, only allowing downvotes from members of trusted instances, which in our case are dbzer0 and quokk.au. I believe we also opted out of Lemvotes as well.

There are communities on certain instances that have auto-moderators that take into account upvotes to ban/unban people.

Piefed also by default collapses any comment that has a negative vote. if the comment gets downvoted even further, it can even be shadowbanned by being hidden from anyone on Piefed. although you can change that or opt out, if you prefer to see every shitty take. Piefed also places bright warning icons next to the names of anyone with a bad rep. there’s quite a lot of personal control over what you see if you use Piefed.

I just blocked my votes from federating. it’s nobody’s business what I upvote.

actually, a child doesn’t have a legal right to a parent. for example, my birth certificate doesn’t list a father. legally, I never had one. of course, practically speaking, I also didn’t have one.

that’s magic nonsense that crime dramas on TV invented. try a reverse image search and look for higher resolution versions of the image you want.

or grit your teeth and use tools that “add detail” by guessing, like AI. but keep in mind that those tools essentially lie by painting in detail that was never there to begin with.

You say that, but I am learning first hand that I have a finite capacity for injustice and misery.

that’s why I said “if you want to”. if your bucket is full, then care about what you can. if you have more room in your bucket, then why not use that room for something else?
