4 of the richest men in the world who own 7/10 of the most popular websites on the internet donated to and sat at The Presidents inauguration. They own the information pipeline and can literally control propaganda completely unchecked and unsupervised. Most of those gun toting freedom fighters use those platforms because it’s all they know. Their family is on it, their business is on it, their news comes from it, they get their daily dopamine kicks from it.

There isn’t going to be any Civil War. It’s just going to be a slow rotation into what Russia currently is now. Little by little by little, hardly noticable changes, over a long enough period of time (say 4 years or so), until one day they wake up and say “Well, it was better then but there’s nothing we can do about it now.” and go about their day.

The next war is going to be a war of ideas and a war of messaging. We can’t rely on online outreach and have to be proactive IRL spreading messages that it really is a class war. There’s no better time than now, no more apparent point in history than today, it’s just pulling those people away from the propaganda for them to realize it. Somehow, We The People, need to convince the Boiling Frogs.

Yes and no. 1.4k? Out of hundreds of millions of online users. Literal raindrop in an ocean.

It means there’s still too many people supporting the same corporations willing to manipulate them through stealth advertising, data harvesting/selling, and misinformation.

It means that there’s still not enough people who care about privacy.

It means that there’s still a lot of educational work to do in society.

I did, and you’re full of shit.

It’s not just the salute that shows this being the case (which is extremely obvious and intentional, again just by watching the video). It’s the history of anti-union practices, the history of lying and being caught lying, the history of supporting far-right movements. Over time this seems to form what’s called a “pattern”.

You’re literally sleep-walking through life or intentionally trying to mislead the conversation.

On another note though, 9 hours, 1k upvotes, 300 comments. It’s a shame more people don’t migrate away from Reddit, which is just as bad as all these other social media platforms currently courting the U.S. administration.

How do we encourage more people to join a Lemmy?

Let’s see the videos side by side and vote on which one is the closest to a nazi salute / gesture.

Or go shill your propaganda somewhere else, maybe with the rest of the nazi sympathizers.

Nothing will be done because nobody can hold this cabal of the world’s wealthiest men accountable.

It’s not just the U.S. that’s going to suffer here either. This cabal is in charge of one of the worlds largest militaries.

Glad you’re above it all though, best of luck.

I don’t know, this reads like a CIA document. I’m not signing a pledge to activism (that’s literally in the doc btw).

FR though there’s some good stuff in here lol

I think this kind of thing might work in a civil society, and let’s hope we stay in a civil society, but once the boots start hitting the ground, once onlookers start saluting back, peaceful protests won’t work.

Stay vigilant o7

I don’t know, wait for leadership to arrive.

Keep speaking out, speaking up, and pointing out that it’s really us workers against the billionaire corporation class.

Bring people together, IRL, and have actual conversations. Apes really are strong together, it’s not a meme, it’s real life.

This really is how fascists rise to power.

The liberal minded can’t find the leadership to organize change. Maybe too many people are too comfortable, but it seems to me a lack of a strong message and organization. A lack of left-leaning, anti-corporation, for the people kind of leadership.

Why are they running a memecoin scam, and nobody is regulating that for a sitting U.S. president?

If you still have your Amazon Prime subscription, Facebook Account, Twitter Account. The literal, very least you could do, is not support the companies of these literal Billionaires, with a capital B.

We need to bring back community, actual in person communities. Supporting local businesses and bring people together for discussions and socializing. As a society, we are too disconnected. It’s too easy to just throw a comment online (what I’m doing now) and move on. Actual change comes from society, and as a society we need to make change together.

Real talk.

The richest men on the planet Earth are surrounding and and giving gifts/favors to a man who holds the highest position in a World Superpower with one of the largest militaries on the planet.

What can we realistically do to fight a possible incoming Nazi regime?

We’re gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭

Specifically because they have accumulated so much wealth that they can pay people to do terrible things in seemingly unterrible ways.

Eh, Jellyfin is just a storage. I mostly use it to link up to Symphonium.

Need For Speed isn’t on GoG yet.

Same, but i’d still love for a way to nicely download these games across my network. Like, I have the folders in my NAS with the setup files, I just need an interface that will install them like a regular installer would.

I’m not the one complaining “people are mean”. You’re either a troll or incapable of self-reflection, which is why your “block list” is just going to keep growing and growing, and you’ll never learn or change.

Good luck on your journey though.

lol you called dude a “Fucking retard” for posting a link on a 3 month old comment thread that you could have just ignored.

I generally look at someone’s comment history before replying to them to see if it’s even worth a reply. The internet has been and always will be (without heavy authoritarian moderation) full of trolls, Bad Faith Actors, and idiots. Block everyone, cry victim, whatever makes you feel better. Maybe if you keep running into assholes and trolls you should reflect on your comment history and how you interact with people online. The kind of comments you feel the need to comment back to (because you don’t need to comment on anything, like ever) you don’t need to.

It’s wild that you don’t have the self-reflection to realize that your comments calling people “retards” and “morons” perpetuate the same toxicity that you’re complaining about.

Welcome to the Internet though.

Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn’t recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).

Yeah, but like MusicBrains and AudioDB plugins. It should scan through and try to match the metadata to better organize your files.

Then for mobile you can connect to the Symfonium app.

I don’t know if this will help anyone but damn is the documentation on how to do this kind of thing scarce so here I am. I was quite a struggle both learning all this and implementing it but it’s been fun overall.

FreeDNS doesn’t seem to have a way to add any kind of SSL Certs as far as I can tell. Not that I needed to, but when I tried explaining my situation to the hosting provider they suggested that the cert needed to be on the DDNS server.

I also couldn’t get the Asustor Reverse Proxy to work either. Many of the tutorials and user suggestions i ran across suggested that this is the way to get SSL but when I tried to implement it I kept landing at my portal login and nothing was getting proxy’d. The netstat command was showing that whatever the reverse proxy port needed was not open - I also ran across this in a 2020+ thread on Asustor.

Right now I’ll also need to manually update the certs and go through this process again in 3 months time. There might be a way to automate this process but it’s a lot of steps that I’m not sure can be automated in this seeming (to me) flawed setup. In any case, it’s been challenging but fun and I think in the next 6 months I’ll upgrade out of Asustor and into a bigger server with a core Linux setup. I know nothing about Linux :)
