Hypothetical bullshit on what could happen;

July 1st, after a whole bunch of panic buys, "we've listened to community feedback and re-evaluated our pricing to be more in line with our community values. We are happy to announce a lifetime $300 Plex Subscriptions, it comes with an industry leading 2 year of Plex Pass at no cost.

Surprisingly, it doesn't actually block sites, it just makes them all look like they're from 1992.

Ehh, maybe it started of as a religious thing, perhaps why Sunday was chosen specifically; but the idea of forcing everyone to have a day off is wonderful.

In the us, there's no federal law limiting the number of days people have to work. Some states have a 1 every 7 days rule. But that's not specific enough, for shift schedule work, they can set your off day to be Sunday this week, and Friday next week, and only schedule you a few hours a day so you get to work almost 2 weeks in a row with out overtime pay.

IMO, it should be (regardless of number of hours worked) on day 6 your pay is 1.5x, and day 7 is required off. At day 8 it's 2x pay, +2 days of paid vacation time (worth 8 hours or your typical shift length (which ever is larger)). It all doubles each day with out a day off. With a signed agreement between you, HR, your boss, whomever is "in charge"/owns the company and the labor board with specific documentation explaining why you have to work so many days in a row and why the job can't wait a day or someone else can't fill in. Failure to do this step results in x5 back pay for everyday worked after 6. Doubling everyday after 8.

Hey don't lump me in with those whiny clowns! I'm a whiny clown in a clown suit. Damn foreigners making extremely generalized assumptions about us /s

Add https://* to your filter list.

Sounds like a shitty game. Games that use kernel anticheat make me nauseous.

Not really, its kind of one those things; if you don't know, how could you? Unless you're the kinda person to sit there and read every option of everything.

Unfortunately, that's probably not gonna happen without some new hardware.

You could setup a wire guard at the router (can you setup tail scale on a router? idk). If she's renting the ISP router, replacing that could save a 100+ a year, depending on how much the isp is scamming her for it.

or you could repurpose a minipc/nuc from bay and set up a jellyfin streaming box with tailscale.

If you have the extra hardware, you could also setup a local server with her jellyfin and use wiregaurd/tailscale to remotely connect to it and run backup/sync during off-hours.

Is is time block headlines with "quiet"? Its like AI decided that word gets the most clicks and its showing up everywhere.

The scariest part about this is realizing there was less time between 1985 to 2005 then there is from 2005 to now (2026).

Arch is a challenge, be prepared to spend more time learning and tinkering than using your computer for the first few months (and forever). It's not impossible, but you will most likely have to reinstall a few times as you learn. If thats what you enjoy, great. Go for a distro made for the lay person like Mint or Bazzite. There's a backup program called Timeshift, it will replace windows snapshots and can help you recover from mistakes without having to start over.

If you put your home drive on a separate partition/drive it will be easier to distro hop as you try different ones. Still, make sure your data is backed up, ideally put the backup on an external drive that you can unplug while installing new a OS.

Well, there's a big difference between "knowing" something and knowing something (i.e proof your intuition is right).

ArticleAnother Leak: ‘Avatar: Aang: The Last Airbender’ Surfaces Online Months Before Paramount+ Debut By Jamie Lang | 04/13/2026 1:17 pm |

A major leak of footage from Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is making the rounds online, and it’s hard to see this as anything but damaging for everyone involved.

Over the weekend, clips and now reportedly the full film surfaced online months ahead of its planned Paramount+ debut. The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery, was initially meant to get a theatrical run, but late last year it was pulled and redirected straight to Paramount+.

The material shared over the weekend reportedly includes key story moments and unfinished animation, although some say the full film is now online, with reports suggesting the leak may have originated from an internal error or security breach tied to Nickelodeon. One Twitter user claimed they were accidentally sent the full film in an email from Nickelodeon. That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it raises questions about how the film could have gotten out.

The leak is a major blow to an already unsettled studio. Since being purchased by Skydance, Paramount and its subsidiary Nickelodeon have been subject to massive layoffs; their long-time and well-respected head of animation, Ramsey Naito, left the company; and just last week, it was revealed that Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be folded more tightly into CBS Studios.

It’s concerning yet entirely unsurprising how normalized this kind of thing has become. Another Avatar film, James Cameron’s in this case, leaked in 2023, alongside The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The difference in those cases is that the films being leaked were already released in theaters. This time, a film months away from release has now been spoiled by a few bad actors.

High-profile leaks aren’t just spoilers, either. They disrupt the economic and creative ecosystem that keeps these kinds of projects getting made. When unfinished work circulates widely, it diminishes both the artistry and the labor behind it, and can cause serious issues for future titles.

The upcoming avatar movie leaked, it sounds like the script, screenshots and ~~possibly~~ the entire movie is circulating.

Also for some reason (before the leak) Paramount decided the movie wouldn't get a theatrical release. Who ever is making the decisions out there is not setting it up for success.

Anyway, if you can watch the movie from an official source, please do so their numbers reflect as many people as possible.

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks fujiwood@lemmy.world


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
