there’s a traitor right there within the executive branch

Within the executive? I think this time around it’s pretty safe to say the entire executive branch is an enemy organization within the government.

For the first Trump term sure, maybe a bunch of them were just innocent regular republicans who only want to hurt the people who “deserve” it. You know, wrong skin color, wrong balance sheet balance, wrong bloodline, the usual violations… But anybody there now cannot pretend like they don’t support the dismantling of our form of government.

…ok sure of course they can pretend. Delusion and dodging cognitive dissonance is like breathing for them. But they sure can’t deny it— shit wait yes they can and it will work. Never mind!

there has been a lot of connections with ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

Reading this phrase is like watching my life flash before my eyes. I’m struggling to think of issues I’ve had over the decades that I couldn’t relate back to that crap.

its only been tested and approved as an anti-parasitic for humans via oral ingestion

Ooh, I get to do an ACKSHUALLY here. They do have it for topical treatments too, like for rosacea.

Eh, they didn’t exactly paint it in a good light. It’s more like not laughing too much at the ordinary NK citizen’s big brother plight while the rest of us are being monitored constantly and much more real time.

The two situations are not the same, but the parallels show his we all deal with this crap in our own ways.

Too bad there had to be an argument or disagreement…

…about whether the victim(s) crying over their dead dog in front of their burned down house deserved to live?

I wonder what the chances are that the fire, the dog skull, and the murder were all the same shithead.

Did the bully look like this and hang out with kids that look like Dragon Ball Z characters?

Yeah I guess I left that part out! It’s funny because like so many things in Linux, you have all the power but you often don’t need to use it because the same problems just aren’t there.

You get to decide when to apply the updates, but they are so quick and unobtrusive that I choose to apply them immediately!

Seriously. If you’re used to fiddling with Windows and especially if you have installed Windows recently, go try something like Linux Mint. Just the install process will blow your mind. And then wait until you get a system update and it doesn’t affect what you’re doing!

By sitting here and waiting, we are all kind of setting them on fire a little bit. Statistically true statement.

You’re right that most American’s didn’t give a shit, but even those who did knew that the genocide was not on the ballot.

Or rather, “no genocide plz” wasn’t on the ballot. Not on a viable choice, FPTP voting, etc, etc. The choices were “same old stuff” and “foot on the gas, bomb it into pink and gray dust and build a chintzy resort.”

“jellyfin took too many resources scanning my library”

That’s a strange one to me. In my experience Jellyfin scans my libraries in about 1/10 the time Plex used to take on the same machine.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it!

Is it good with gapless playback? It isn’t as crucial for me as for some people who listen to live recordings etc, but it’s always nice to have and is a good sign for the quality of the player.

I’ve had a lifetime plex pass for several years. Once I tried Jellyfin a few months ago it was all over. My “I’ll run both just in case” period lasted a week or two.

The downside is that Jellyfin will take more setup on your end, especially if you want to let other people connect securely to your server.

The upside is performance and responsiveness. Once I started using it I decided Plex had to go, even if I have to drive to each family member’s house to fix their shit. It was like moving between Linux and Windows, as far as one being designed to work and the other being designed to satisfy dozens of corporate KPIs.

Fortunately the setup for the end user is just as simple once your server is good to go. They just need URL, login, and password.

And since it’s all open source, there’s some fun diversity in clients. I use Finamp specifically for music, and there are audiobook focused ones.

Interesting. Maybe that supports my guess.

It’s not without precedent though. I remember seeing NT references for a long time from win2k on.

I thought they were supposed to do the whole “last version of Windows that will be updated forever” with Windows 10, and of course abandoned that some time ago.

My gut feeling is that their product management marketing folks came to the conclusion that Windows as a subscription was not going to work for the consumer market where the OS is something that’s just part of the device you buy. And in discussions with system OEMs they made the decision that consumers like it when the version number goes up, so increasing that windows number every several years will move systems.

Is that Steve Jobs with a Butthead mouth? Beautiful.

and oftentimes they don’t admit why they really have a problem with the game directly

I think in many cases they aren’t even admitting it to themselves. Self-delusion is kind of a recurring theme with them.

I was not familiar with that page. I love this in the nerdiest way possible.

Ooo, I might have to put this up against Fira Code at work tomorrow.

We are so bad about this across the board. Why is society so content to expect the worst from people like police and politicians?

Honestly, probably because we’ve been conditioned to get angry at the employees of the super rich rather than the hoarders themselves.
