Holy shit the hopium you that keeps people going… 🤦🏽

Cops are not going to get physical and escalate with ICE, stop it!

If you exclude non English language, you have to exclude their sales too… unless you’re suggesting the Chinese users that make up 30% of steam users don’t buy anything…

Nice twist.

My problem is that they’re always on the wrong side of history, and only start using the vulnerable as rhetoric after they can’t kill and maim them profitably.

They don’t serve us, they use as to serve the capitalist class.

Call them heroes and worship them?

Rare?

Democrats have a pattern of vocally opposing issues only after they irreparably solidify them.

In 1986 they helped pass draconian drug laws and mandatory minimums that supercharged mass incarceration, then decades later turned around and branded the “war on drugs” a moral failure.

In 1994 they wrote and championed the crime bill that funded more cages and longer sentences; only once whole communities were gutted did it become fashionable for them to “reckon” with mass incarceration.

In 1996 they joined Republicans to “end welfare as we know it,” slapping work requirements and time limits on poor families, then years later started admitting it deepened extreme poverty.

That same ’90s crew pushed NAFTA and the broader free-trade consensus that helped ship industrial jobs overseas, then reinvented themselves as champions of the working class once the damage was locked in.

They joined in financial deregulation at the end of the decade, tearing down New Deal banking walls, and after the 2008 crash, suddenly discovered the virtues of regulation.

On social issues it’s the same story: they crafted “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and passed DOMA, then only when public opinion flipped did they pretend they’d always been on the side of LGBT rights.

They voted for the 2002 Iraq AUMF and let Bush have his war, then spent the next decade calling it a catastrophic mistake.

They backed the 2006 Secure Fence Act to harden the southern border, then later denounced wall-style politics as cruel and nativist.

So no, Epstein Island wasn’t some weird one-off “bipartisan moment.” Bipartisanship is the rule whenever it comes to locking people up, bombing someone, cutting social supports, or serving corporate interests, and Democrats in particular have a long record of helping build the machinery first and only discovering their consciences after it’s too late to dismantle it. At least the Republicans consistently tell you they hate you to your face.

And what meaningful action are Dems taking to stop it?

That’s it, the pain is coming back now. I didn’t use docker last time I tried, I don’t remember the issues I ran into, but I was running Plex on windows vm with the library on a nas share mounted locally through iscsi. Don’t ask why, it was a good setup at the time.

Haven’t tried JF in over a year, but last attempt was full of errors. I’ll give it another shot.

Only reason I’m still on Plex is I have a lifetime pass, and it’s working. But it’s sure inshitifying every day… Remote play with plex pass is super easy, and plex amp was promising but replaced it with navidrome and so much happier. I’m ready to ditch Plex if JF is better now, I’ll install it next time I have time to mess with my setup.

Statement with no substance. What do you desire that’s not there?

Aside from the screen being softer and easier to scratch, name a practical difference between this and another 10" Android tablet…

If a 10" tablet meets your desires, and your desire to fold it and put it in your pocket, what’s left?

One day chat got won’t work without a paid subscription…

Intellectual property as a concept is a cancer to humanity, and we’d be in a much better world without it.

Is it anti Firefox progranda to literally criticize them for reopening human contributed content with lesser quality AI generated one?

Your response to that criticism is to bring up another topic (Firefox being open source) and calling everyone idiots?

You think those insurance companies got paid and nobody got treated? Because stats out there show tens of millions of people gained coverage who had non before because of that bill.

Do you think having insurance is the same as receiving medical care?

You people always claim it’s romneycare but then you sit there and spout Republican talking points, talk about dissonance.

What republican talking points did I spout? I want true socialized healthcare without a private for profit company in the middle, no, I don’t think the ACA is good enough.

But like I said, it relieves enough pain that it keeps people from revolting.

There was always going to be somebody getting paid

Now there’s a republican talking point! The doctors should get paid, by the state. The leaches in the health insurance industry shouldn’t, and the assertion that they were “always going to get paid” is peak capitalism.

Jesus Christ! There is no public entity providing healthcare under the affordable care act, the subsidies allow poor people to purchase private health insurance. It’s literally using tax money to increase instance companies’ customers and profits.

He might be the only sane Republican in this case. Romney Care isn’t the socialized healthcare Americans like to pretend it is, its entire purpose is to give just enough relief to pacify revolution.

It goes away, people might just revolt when they can’t afford healthcare OR food. Obamacare (Romney Care) is a republican plan, don’t forget that.

Ethereum formally introduced the concept of smart contracts, and they had serious potential for modernizing financial contracts and push back an entire predatory industry of leechers, but instead it was used to create meme-coins and scam coins and ruined it all.

It’s move to proof of stake instead of proof of work dramatically reduced its energy usage, and makes it a actually scalable, but the masses lost interest when they couldn’t just make money off a few GPUs and turned to the aforementioned shit-coins built on the Ethereum network.

Ethereum is not bad, it’s one of the better ones. It’s just kind of responsible for the explosion of shit/scam coins, because people are shitty scammers.

How so? I’m not doubting, I just didn’t see any of that evidence in the article.
