Go for it, Dems are using one of the few effective levers they have at the moment. They want to blame us for not accepting a ‘clean’ CR that’s fine.

The last several months have been a storm of bullshit and dictatorial decisions by a loony who give no shits about anyone but himself, if finding a way to bring him to heel is possible by shutting it all down then I’ll help turn out the lights.

Well I don’t work for the gov, so I’ll blame him several times over to make up for a couple.

Irony is lovely, the admin unilaterally guts our public broadcasting support, and then gets covered by part of them crying about how the Democrats are so mean

Problem here is the tankies so derided here have feelings that don’t care about facts.

These are folks who consider China, N. Korea, and Russia to be ideal havens of the workers, regardless of any contrasting data.

Epstein’s buddy said what?

This settlement might help because Trump has directed one $22 million payment YouTube will make to the body overseeing his pet project – construction of a ballroom at the White House. Another $2.5 million payment will go to plaintiffs who joined the case and also felt YouTube infringed their rights.

A true man of the people, a couple scraps for however many may have felt their ‘rights’ to spout their conspiracies in YouTube where infringed, and 10X that for a fancy room for rich people to party in and plan how to become richer.

If only all the democratic states would withhold funding for the fake and corrupt federal gubberment, that’d be a great exchange I’m sure.

That’s mostly the reason I went for them, trying as some back burner thing to get whatever appliances, lights cameras, etc all figured how I could do them fully in house. Not a huge priority, switches work just fine, but if I do set such things up the idea of it failing because of an Internet outage is a no-go

On totally unrelated news, I’m finding the my new ecobee to be pretty sweet. Supposedly it can be two stepped into homeassistant via Apple’s webkit?

His most fervent supporters are those most heavily invested in the idea that they and others like them are special and only they understand the real truth…

Far too early to math all the numbers, but one note to this is that it’s entirely possible to start with a median metric and switch to mean from there, their argument being how that’s not possible right off the bat.

Start off at a median number, which statisticians love because it flattens out the effects of excessive weights on any particular segment, such as we have in the USA with a small number of obscenely rich people.

But then strip the anomaly from the dataset and recalculate the mean and get a proper average. The median may not move any meaningful amount, but without the anomaly the mean becomes more true to the sample.

You know, this calls for some snarky comment, but I’m pretty sure my Idiocracy meter blew a fuse in there…

Team Murica!, world police…

I was probably using Emby already by then, had bought a lifetime license since it didn’t require bouncing things off and outside server like Plex did (or was it that Plex was a renewing subscription, I forget) , so it just stayed out of inertia.

I can’t say I’ve given Jellyfin a proper try (as in using it and the clients exclusively for a long period) but we have been using Emby for quite a while before I knew it existed.

If I’m not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they’re pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

Pretty sure that’s where I played it. In an era where having a round head on your character was good graphics it was pretty fun.

Of course we can fully believe information pushed by the current Tylenol=Autism administration too. Not to say everyone did great then, but I’d bet that the next report will show MASSIVE growth and prosperity (for the 0.001%) to claim we’re all great again.

Edit: also notable, the article cited how it got so much worse after 2022, guess what also happened then?

How is it such a petty and immature person is deemed fit for presidential office I may never understand.

Trump doesn’t have major shifts, he has momentary whims based on what he thinks will gain him praise and/or money.

Hadn’t said anyone should give them what they want, but I see them using as a pretext to try a power grab.
