    Very cool! It is always depressing, however, to hear about Japan's political environment. Do you know if the younger generation is becoming more open to leftist ideas?

    Thank you. I feel like we all kind of know this is the case, but most of us don't think about it. Really good explanation.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I'm having a lot of problems with Plex actually and their forum staff are kinda rude, so I was already thinking about finding another software. <3

    Unrelated question, but how do both/either of you find "unbiased" information in English on the political environment within China. I have found it very difficult myself. (Assuming you don't speak Mandarin, that is.)

    The man (manual) command is your friend! The syntax is “man [any command/program here no brackets]”

    Thank you for this. Wow, I can't believe I didn't know about it lol.

    Yes, I meant Celsius lol. I guess I'll have to look into getting more case fans. So do you think encoding at those temps for multiple hours in the meantime is a bad idea or just something I should fix eventually?

  • Although its just another OS, linux does have a major learning curve for the common GUI enjoyer like me. When you all were first learning linux, did you have a specific resource you learned from? Was it more like doing projects and learning on the way through forums?

    I just set up my first Plex server and found that I have to convert all of my totally legally obtained MKVs to MP4s to run on Plex. Right now I'm encoding them with HandBrake and it's taking ~30 mins per file and using 100% of my CPUs capacity (running around 80 degrees C). Is this how most of you guys do it? or am I missing something? I'm concerned about hurting the lifespan of my CPU. Would using my GPU to encode be a better option?

    I'm not familiar with the /r/fuckcars and !fuckcars@lemmygrad.ml communities. That being said:

    Is it considered radical here to say that I think cars should be banned in city centers?

    Because cars should be banned in city centers.

    This is mine too. Whenever I watch an old show I go back and read through the episode discussion threads from years ago. Sadly, I don't think this is something that can be replicated here apart from new releases. :(

    My method

    Whenever I talk to people who are apathetic to politics I always say "apathy is a political statement." I've found it to be pretty effective once I explain what I mean. Apathy is a privileged view of the world. This is a somewhat extreme example, but if you are apathetic to politics while there are people living on the streets you are essentially saying "those people's lives don't matter. I don't care if they die, are harmed by police, etc." This is how I converted my girlfriend actually. Good luck out there comrades. <3

    So I thought I was shadowbanned, but actually I got my comments removed. It's to be expected from r/worldnews and r/facepalm, but from r/TheDeprogram? Very strange.

    Yeah, the system kind of sucks in that sense cause its really hard for new people to even get the karma to participate in karma-locked subs in the first place. Hopefully, lemmy will soon be large enough that we don't have to use reddit anymore though.
