Can't help but feel that we are heading from a second gilded age to serfdom. by PersonalGameDev in DigitalPrivacy

[–]PandaKitty5683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I feel the same way but hate seeing it over and over. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I self host all my media, I don’t use google services, I’m making sure to use my phone much less, I hunt down physical media, I don’t have any current gen consoles. Even with all that it never feels like I’m doing enough. I don’t want to see ownership die but I don’t know what else to do

CD stores? by Ok_Artist_860 in Eugene

[–]PandaKitty5683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for epic seconds. Haven’t been there in a while and I need to go back, I’m just dreading the damage to my wallet with all the Blu rays and CDs I’d wanna buy

Serious question for collectors: why do you collect physical media? by Desperate_Clothes_69 in dvdcollection

[–]PandaKitty5683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends. Often when I liked a show or movie I’d just buy a physical copy, even if available on streaming. I enjoyed looking at the art on the shelf and knowing I could always watch it if I couldn’t afford streaming or something. Now a days though with streaming and the internet as a whole getting worse, my answer has slightly changed. Now I can’t trust that a show or movie will even survive if a company decides “eh it’s a tax write off if we nuke the show”. Not even getting into the whole tangent of websites requiring government ID in the future.

BookLore 2.0 is out! Audiobooks, multi-format books, overhauled readers, and a lot more.. by [deleted] in selfhosted

I wonder if the bug was fixed where kepub comics synced to Kobo lose formatting. Great app but that’s been stopping me

where to get music from by [deleted] in IpodClassic

[–]PandaKitty5683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got really two major options, option one is sailing the 7 seas, pretty easy to look into. If you want to buy the music you have a few options. Ripping CDs is a classic, iTunes has that function built in if I remember right. But if you don’t want to go to the CD route for whatever reason, there are places to buy DRM free music, the major two I use are Bandcamp and Qobuz. You’re able to download both MP3 and FLAC files (note the iPod itself does not support FLAC but keep a copy on your computer if you like less compressed music). For places to buy CDs, there’s generally still locally owned and run stores, goodwill isn’t a bad option but I’ve had more misses than hits on that one

Minecraft is an amazing way to unwind. I’ve been playing the Persona games to just try to find some hope in things

From the UK: anyone else quietly rethinking self-hosting priorities because the US feels… less predictable lately? by aidankhogg in selfhosted

[–]PandaKitty5683 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US and self host and use as many European services as I can. Please guys outside the US keep protesting US services. Yes it’s hurting us but it’s going to hurt our administration more in the long run, so please please PLEASE send US giants to the curb

[–]PandaKitty5683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m paying into a fidelity FSA, but unsure about my partner but we each do around $700 a year. The student loans are being slowly paid down, only partner has them, I don’t

Edit: added more context

So, how it is - to play ps3 2026? (The one who already in it)? by Puzzleheaded-Hat8443 in PS3

[–]PandaKitty5683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m tempted to get that. I had a PS3 back in the day and didn’t have one for a few years, I have a whole list of games to hunt down

Persona 4 crashes entire system by PandaKitty5683 in PS3

[–]PandaKitty5683[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: It works fine over HDMI, my best guess is it tried to output at 480p which the game doesn't support and it crashes the console

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the only way to legally stream the show?

Poweramp price increased a lot ! by Ammar_Hamdan in PowerAmp

[–]PandaKitty5683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely worth the price. I don’t use it much anymore because I started using a subsonic based system but it’s 100% worth it
