Uber says new B.C. rules will increase costs, Eby says companies can 'suck it up'
  • This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that's not sustainable.

    Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

    Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

  • Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • I'll also add that if you're looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

    Also, if you find any CDs you don't care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)

  • Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

    For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium's UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

    If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

    For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn't required. Use which ever media player you like best.

    As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who's dumb with networking.

  • Climate crisis with Poison Ivy
  • I felt they were using the fact that Batman is an orphan, and being a billionaire is an excuse to explain how he can fund his... hobby?

    But I could see the billionaire propaganda aspect as well. I guess it depends on the author's intent.

  • Depending on if you sleep on your back, side, or stomach there are a few ways

    I use the pillow below knees to help my lower back pain

  • Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road
  • I think they criticise VFX because there's an end goal of being indistinguishable from reality.

    Commenting on story, execution, and uniqueness requires actual taste and a personal bias which may least to reduced views and interaction.

  • [Discussion thread] Furiosa, a Mad Max saga
  • I haven't seen fury road, but I liked this film a lot. The break up in parts and slower pacing was a great way to tell the story. I bought the ticket on a whim and I'm really happy I did.

    My score: 9/10

  • Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025
  • I'd recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

    If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

  • [Discussion thread] Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
  • I just saw it and this is the CGI I love to see: so much detail and fully committed to utilising it.

    Besides that, the story was nothing to write home. If they make another one, I'm fully cheering for the good apes. I am ready to return to monke!

    Also, I think it's funny between this, the king kong movie, and monkey man, we've had a lot of primate-related movies release in such a short span (~2 months)

    My score:
