I might be asking a dumb question here, this is the right community for that after all. But have you asked your cousin what might be wrong?

it couldn’t find any servers locally on my network, so I had to use my IP address. So when (not if) that IP changes I’ll have to troubleshoot.

One workaround that I can think of is to use ip reservation to give your devices the same ip address whenever they connect. You might find that setting under DHCP on your router. Or just use a static ip on the server.

We asked A.I. to create a copyrighted image from the Joker movie. It generated a copyrighted image as expected.

Propaganda is by definition misleading and political in nature. It can lead to policies that can make life very bad for a lot of people (see Nazi propaganda).
A misleading, nonpolitical ad, may make you waste money, but it’s unlikely to lead to police rounding up foreigners in the night. Dishonest interpersonal communications will make you lose friends but it (generally) doesn’t set political policy.
Thats not to say that advertisements can’t be dangerous, but at least they’re regulated to limit potential damage. Anyone can push any political statement as fact and get away with it as long as it doesn’t piss off the wrong people too much.

I’ve used connect, jerboa, thundar, sync, voyager, summit and liftoff. Eternity is the only one that works well for me without annoying bugs and has all the features that I need.

No. Not unless you have it stored on media that you own and control.

I made this exact same argument using XMPP as an example and got downvoted because “XMPP is still alive”

I’m on there so seldom that I didn’t notice

Good for them. I’m still not joining.

Capitalism will find a way to fuck it up

Yeah it was quickly disproven but some people never got the memo

Iirc some people used to think so for some reason when it was first released.

No, it’s like criticising a murder enthusiasts group because murder is a crime.

Yup the people that are mostly disadvantaged by (and cause) a housing crash are the people that treat houses like stocks.

I have Sonarr/Radarr set to monitor lists on trakt.tv

That’s funny because hippos kill more people than dogs

I had a metal door and an iron gate inside with shitty locks. Burglers broke the locks and got in.

I replaced the door and got great locks. The locks held up fine but they broke the gate right out of the wall and got in.

If someone wants to get in, they will.

Google is considered an ad company.

Fixed that for you

I’m from the Caribbean. It’s considered rude to enter a room without saying good morning/afternoon/night once and loudly enough that everyone can hear. No one has to answer but it’s polite to acknowledge. You don’t have to say anything when leaving tho.

This doesn’t apply to places that are loud, large, or where people are already socialising. So no to restaurants, bars and supermarkets, etc. But yes to hairdressers, small cafés, doctor’s offices, and small offices in general.

No reddit repost bots please. There are already too many and they drag down lemmy’s quality.
