Thank you for that condescending lesson. I guess people who disagree with you couldn’t possibly be well-read on the topic.

It could possibly be the case that both Biden and Trump are more beholden to the wealthy ruling class. But here’s the thing. I’m far, far from siding with the wealthy ruling class. But, end of the day, they want to rule. Russia wants to completely dismantle their opponents, their opponents’ elections, and their opponents’ ability to survive. Those opponents are us. The wealthy have to get and maintain power possibly against uprising. The Russians merely have to find the right button for us to lose everything. And Jill Stein is a pawn for their plans in whatever way they need her.

Jill Stein can fuck right off. Russian assets don’t deserve American political screen time.

I wonder if they will support Chromecast

Probably not because of Stadi…oh wait…

At home, I use PiHole and AdGuard to block ads. I also use Firefox on my desktop with ublock origin plugin. Sites do break sometimes. But here’s my thinking. If a site is using or forcing an ad in such a way that the site is broken for me, I go to another site. That one didn’t deserve my time or business. My bank website works just fine. So does the power company, gas, etc. The important stuff is fine. The rest has competition.

I will note that my auto insurance website broke between an email link, the trackers in said link and the website. I messaged their IT dept in a complaint form and they said they would change how the email system tracker works to prevent that in the future.

Inside every Texan is 30-50 feral hogs…

hired a new guy and gave it to him

That is your answer to this entire scenario. That’s what they think of you and I’d take it as an invitation to find a new job. Hopefully you’ll find a better fit. Currently, it sounds like things are good enough that they’d be a decent reference for your next job.

You can run your Jellyfin connection inside of Kodi which has a ton of configuration options like the volume control.

I guess we’re just creating more Boomers now. Boomers 2: Illiterate Boogaloo

The classic sloppy reporting tactic of “dozens”. Somewhere between 1.5 and 33.3 dozen I guess?

I’ve been pretty excited about what I’ve been seeing from Affinity. You’re right, they’re not there yet. But they’re closer than anyone. They need more money and time and they will hopefully get there.

I want to point out, because I see this chart or something like it a lot. Adobe has an absolute monopoly in the professional design space. None of these programs can remotely come close to the creative suite if you’re doing more than tinkering. If you’re making memes or doing some personal image manipulation, you can get by with GIMP or something. If you’re creating professional art or creating files for print or publication, you need Adobe. It’s scary that one corporation holds so much sway over an entire industry but they definitely do.

Tell me more about these tittybux…

Some of these articles don’t seem to get it. Another Trump term potentially removes all rights for many of us. Trans people won’t have to worry about healthcare, bigotry, bathrooms, or anything else that they’re facing. They will have to hide who they are or risk being rounded up or killed. It will be open season on women, liberals, feminists, atheists, satanists, muslims, people with dark skin or foreign sounding names. Rights don’t matter in a dictatorship. There’s only fighting or submitting.

Estimated $50b in wage theft against workers per year I’m thinking white collar isn’t being included.

You might check out Project Bluefin if you haven’t already. I’m only a few days in but I’m really enjoying it. Having Docker and Podman baked in is really nice.

Nah, I’d prefer someone with a bigger dick.

(I am totally against our penal system being okay with rape as basically capital punishment. For the record. Just making a joke here)

Too fucking late. I’ve already installed Bluefin on two machines and Bazzite on my gaming machine. I’m not going back.

Then this must be embarrassing for y’all. Do we have gross processed cheese? Yeah, we do. Do we also make fantastic cheese? Yeah, we make a lot of it. Do we make shit beer? Absolutely. Do we also make some of the best beers in the world? Yeah, we make a fuckton of great beer. I get stereotypes and most of them are funny. The Brits conquering the world for spices and then using none of it in their food. Yeah, there is some truth to that but I do know that you can get some amazing food in the UK. Curry shops are super popular because the lack of spice thing isn’t really true for all. Do you understand the same thing about the US or is your ire carrying past reality?

To that I say, you must not have heard of Wisconsin.
