Last Notes
Trump is doing everyone a favor by reminding us that the government is not on our side and isn't here to help.
Canada used to have fewer massive fires but the government decided to cancel their fire prevention programs.
Consider it a team effort.
It's not stopped at all sir, just moving to a bigger release schedule. GitHub has commits almost daily
I predicted months ago, though maybe not publicly, that Luke would rage quit if 110 failed.

You gotta get in good with the right family.
Sorry. But this is the world cup of football. What does this have to do with the US?
And yea it is clear those teams all would rather like to be in the final. This has nothing to do with the US.
The "Democrats would rather lose" theory really rains on your parade.
Apologies for AI summary, I couldn't find my favorite real human explanation.
The donor class overlaps. Democratic Party leadership and their biggest donors (Wall Street, corporate executives, defense contractors, private equity) often benefit from the same policies Republicans enact — tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, endless wars, weak labor laws. 2
If Democrats actually won big and enacted the popular progressive platform they campaign on (Medicare for All, $15 minimum wage, taxing the rich, etc.), it would directly hurt the financial interests of their own donor class. 3
So they self-sabotage. The party puts forward weak candidates, runs milquetoast centrist campaigns, and makes unpopular tactical decisions — ensuring they stay just competitive enough to raise money and exist, but not so successful that they'd actually have to deliver on real change.
The blame-shifting mechanism. When they lose, they blame Republican obstruction, gerrymandering, the Electoral College, voter suppression, or the media. When they win narrow majorities, they use the filibuster or "moderates in their own party" as excuses for why they can't pass anything transformative.
I was so confused who thought chicken parm with rice and beans was a good idea until I finally figured out that's salsa.
oh! i figured the big new feature was the keyed download!
maybe it's... a shared drive mediated by WoT?
If voting changed anything they would make it illegal.
Free as in beer.
Free as in freedom.
Free as in you should have read the terms of service.
The mini-PC merely needs software done. With any luck flirc will mean I can use my same remote.
I can do all myself but I do need a high WAF for the finished product. So it begins.
chinese ai models, bisons, taco bell - 2026 is turning out to be a pretty great year.

Flock at least backed down on their plan to send armed police when you don't buy your toddler a candy bar.

For those that failed polisci, that's called fascism.
The Jellyfin app on roku is nice. The hardware was literally just a Jellyfin player to me. The number of ads I see and clicks to get Jellyfin launched are my primary metrics for hardware quality. Both have gotten worse since purchase with 2 obvious step change "updates" in the last month or so.
I have an n150 and flirc remote, just haven't done the work. It wasn't worth it for 3 clicks and 1 ad. 7 clicks and 20 ads or whatever it is up to is worth it.
Your continued faith that the system can produce any positive outcome is kinda cute.
Dear Roku
I bought the roku because it had the fewest ads. You have quadrupled the number of ads on the device after I bought it. None of the updates have added value or features that benefit me in any way, only additional ads.
I will never buy from your company again. GFY.
Sincerely
Apparently the last American consumer with any self respect.

Just for the joke, don't actually do this because it is still trackable.

I wonder how much this plays into the ghost jobs narrative. The job is real but the managers running the hiring are too cheap or incompetent to hire someone.
I once had an interview where the hiring manager aggressively and repeatedly told me I was unqualified for the job. They refused to talk about anything I'd done in the last 10 years and just kept asking questions about my first 2 jobs on my resume, which probably shouldn't even be there it was so long ago. When I went bullet point by bullet point down the job description showing I was overqualified for every item on the description, they just said "yeah but you are unqualified for the job." I asked them to point to a single requirement I didn't meet and they said "education." I pointed out the job description listed no education requirements and I had a masters. They just got more hostile and ended the interview early.
I know some would say I should have walked out. It honestly was just a curiosity to me once I realized how they were acting. I haven't applied to another role at that company again and I can't see any reason I ever would.
I had a feeling you'd blame my position on knee jerk anti Trump position.
Once again I hate them all. Trump gets the hate today because he is the president today and committing the crimes today.
Statistical analysis I've seen makes it seem like both 2020 and 2024 presidential were stolen elections. The lack of interest in the 2024 anomalies looks sus AF as the kids would say. Unless of course the goal is Republicans win and not honest elections that reflect the will of the people, then it makes perfect sense.
3rd party polling confirms my theory that republican support in the population is literally dying and yet somehow the party isn't losing seats or power. How big can that spread get before the general public catches on? Fair elections aren't in their interest so I have sincere doubts that is what they want.
