  • US anti-vax stance to blame for continent-wide surge in measles, say experts

  • Difficult to whom? Which administration? Most anti-vaxxers (I assume) are Trump supporters. They might self-identify as free thinkers, but they've pledged allegiance to anything right-leaning, so why would the far-right government want to get rid of them?

  • What do you still use reddit for?

  • Watching MMA is one of my only hobbies, so I frequent the subreddit and minimize my involvement. To my knowledge there's no lemmy community for MMA, and right now I'm not interested in modding one.

  • Tangentially related: I recently read American Kingpin, a book about Ross Ulbricht. The author starts by saying something like, "My mother had an unusual way of reading books.

I realized that spoilers have never bothered me, for the same reason.

  • CGI. When people say "there was too much CGI" they just mean "there was bad CGI" because the good stuff is imperceptible.

  • Internet upload speeds on self-hosted Jellyfin/Plex Servers?

  • I share mine with about a dozen friends and family, and some have offered to pay me. I didn't think about it being illegal (although, of course it is) but the reason I wouldn't charge is that I don't want anyone having expectations about it working. It's worked smoothly for about a year, and if it breaks I'll fix it on my own time.
