4·2 years agoI commonly will be in a call with friends, where we all stream the games we are playing independently to each other.
Another use case, one person screen shares YouTube for group watching
And one more, we will often play chess and screen share so others can watch.
This is for a group of 3-10 people typically

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is discontinuing its “watch together” featureEnglish
2·2 years agoI would agree if the features they did work on made sense.
How come every time I open Plex there is another social media integration, yet device downloads haven’t worked for literal years.
Plex itself is niche software, offering niche features is why Plex gained popularity, watch together is a great feature, I often use when I’m cleaning house so I can watch a show even as I move around rooms, same thing when cooking, which let’s the person in the kitchen watch while others may be in the living room.

21·2 years agoYea I agree, and things like trading on high margin or using standard lines of credit to invest are generally bad unless you really know what you are getting into.
But it isn’t always hard to beat interest, it just depends. HELOCS are a great tool for people and depending on your situation, you can get them significantly lower than typical returns. Yea it’s a risk, but so is getting in your car and driving to work everyday. There is no income without some type of risk, opportunity cost, physical/mental health, etc. I think just like most things, there is balance. A student loan for a college degree is not much different than a traditional investment, neither is a note on a truck + lawn care equipment for a fledgling business. They all have risk, but they (along with mortgages) are more tangible for a lot of people.
My point is mainly that, sometimes it is ok to go into debt for a single purchase. I don’t think it’s smart to just open a bunch of credit cards and yolo your life savings into long calls, but I also don’t think it’s smart to squirrel money away in your mattress because all debt is evil.

231·2 years agoThis is not really applicable and only works if you look at investments pretty naively.
The most obvious rebuttal to this is home ownership a mortgage is debt and is also a ‘single purchase’ however for most people, a mortgage is their first step towards financial independence. The next concept of course is TVM (time value of money), having cash available now to invest in worth more than later, and so utilizing leverage to invest money is important.
Generally, investments that beat interest make it worth it to utilize debt to make them, this is the premise behind investing using margin, utilizing heloc loans, or taking out a loan for a business, education, or tooling that will allow you to earn more.
Debt isn’t inherently bad and there are many ways to use debt to your advantage.
A good way to look at it is like this, if you have a line of credit available to you that satisfies your emergency fund, let’s say a few thousand dollars, instead of sitting on the fund in a low interest savings account, you can move that to something marginally less liquid, like an REIT or an index fund, and use the line of credit to float cash until you can withdraw. Use the credit for the 4-6 days it takes to clear the transaction. You may pay some interest, but the emergency fund will have actually gained significantly more than any interest you would pay.
Not all investment is the same, buying out of the money long calls on mene stocks is not the same as moving medium or long term savings to high dividend managed funds.

Why is retarded considered so offensive that people self censor but idiot isn’t? Is it just that retarded reached its peak in the internet era of policing speech or is there something special about the word that makes it much more offensive than idiot or imbecile?
They both have the same meanings, intentions, and ability to be used as an insult.

19·2 years agoThis article talks about how it’s ambiguous though and provides examples of things that are typically not normal clothing such as overalls and bibs not being deductible.
It’s really not as clear cut as ‘uniform’ and it really boils down to a case by case basis except in the most obvious of cases.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Steam now tells gamers up front that they're buying a license, not a game
121·2 years agoThis isn’t actually true.
Gog isn’t ‘piracy is strictly legal’ there is still a license attached to the software that can have restrictions.


But that is neglecting the performance aspect.
Something like this can be very good for offloading large amounts of data onto a parity backed array either to be moved to a proper long term storage solution later or to be actively worked.
High resolution / bitrate footage comes to mind, where you may be offloading multiple cameras at once and need high write performance.
It’s pretty unlikely that SSDs will have price parity with spinning rust anytime soon, but the value in them has always been performance.
