It isn’t free, but I use a seedbox for running my Plex server. That way none of the media downloading is done on our local internet, all the ISP should see is that we are streaming data from a Plex server. They’d have no knowledge on if we own that data or not. I’m sure Jellyfin can also easily be run from a seedbox

Having a seedbox is also helpful because our internet has a pretty low upload speed, which would make watching anything outside the house a massive pain.

Yeah, they were on their first day back from winter break.

The shooting was in the high school portion, but the middle/high school have a hallways connecting them.

Highly agree. I love fishkeeping, so finding a dude that likes it too would be great… as long as they semi-understand what they’re talking about. No tropical fish without heaters, or tanks that aren’t properly cycled for example…

Tell this to all the “entry level” positions that wanted 3-5 years of experience. Searching for a CS job with just a degree was terrible.

That’s not to say I disagree with you though. Entry level should be the actual entry point into a field

So during not-summer who is stocking shelves? My guess to your answer is that high schoolers will, but then who will work fast food restaurants during school hours?

Too many jobs are considered “entry level”. If people used them as stepping stone jobs, the companies would cease to function properly.

For example my father thinks that all fast food positions except Manager are entry level. But I can guarantee you he’d be pissed if only the manager was working in the mornings when he wants coffee.

As someone who rarely ever uses YouTube, $25 would be fucking bonkers to pay monthly for no ads. Imo a decent idea to explore would be x amount of minutes that are ad free per month, then after you hit that limit you get given ads. You’d have to be signed into an account, any instances with no account logged in get ads by default.

Another idea is to add lower tiers to the available plans. 5 people can sign in on the current option? Is there a cheaper plan that only allows linking 1 account? This could even tie in with the previous idea and have certain plans that give you x minutes of watching adless per month.

I’m sure there are plenty of other options out there. In fact I wouldn’t be bothered having to watch an ad before a video (or a midroll in a longer video) but the experiences I’ve had with using YouTube frequently involve me pulling up a certain scene within a movie or something and getting 2-3 ads that are a minute long each, unskippable, and potentially midrolls in there if the video is over 5 minutes. It just makes me close the video and think “yeah fuck that, I don’t need to watch that scene anymore”.

Overall point: the ads would be fine if they weren’t so excessive and intrusive

I’ve noticed that at some point since it came out, Horizon: Forbidden West actually added a thalassophobia relief option into the settings! It brightens everything underwater and allows for infinite breath underwater regardless of if you’ve unlocked it in the story or not

Aren’t Office Suite apps not even released for Linux? I feel like I remember having to use the web based apps, and not by choice

Im pretty sure it is using the sites’ own descriptions of themselves

To make the years mirror better maybe? That’s really all I can think of. 2012->2021 has the flip of the last two numbers
