I just read that README, quite sobering. Now I’m thinking of bus scenario backup plans. Like, there’s stuff that is eventually gonna stop working if left unattended too long, and you just assume you’re gonna be around to maintain it, you know?

Ah, you were just a bit before my time. I’m a Gen Xer and grew up watching A Christmas Story when it first aired on tv, which I think is another great example of a happy holiday movie. I can’t believe I mentioned The Muppet Christmas Carol before it, hah. Yeah, I liked A Christmas Story when I was a kid, but I love it now that I’m older and get the more adult references. My wife and I keep it in the regular Christmas viewing rotation along with A Charlie Brown Christmas, which in my opinion are perfect when you want to feel the ol’ winter warm & fuzzies. They’re so comforting in a way.
“The reason is, people hate Jews,” Ostroy said. The host then briefly expounded upon the pervasiveness of antisemitism before concluding, “You know, if we use the wrong pronouns on college campuses, there’d be an uproar.”
“Oh my god, forget it,” Margulies answered. “It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them…
Wow. What the fuck, lady.
I like feeling up and happy and in a good mood, though - so I guess I’m an outlier, a holdover from another age.
“Relic from the previous century,” that’s what I like to call myself.
Note: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) is quite good. It has a solid performance by Michael Caine, who carries on as though it’s an all-human cast.

Lol this really sucks for Plex users, but I’m glad I left that steaming pile of shit software. I’ve been using Jellyfin for two years now and have never had to deal with sudden new shitty default-on features that appear from out of nowhere. Not once. With Plex, that happened like every other release. I don’t miss it.
Sry but you’re too late, I already paid a visit to Post Nut Clarity bank
Because everyone knows only terrorists take hostages, so using the term to describe one side tells the public who to think is the terrorist side without having to actually say it.
I know, right? That is some frickin Lord Farquaad shit. What a dickhead!
The captain is down and I’ve resorted to kicking. Form an orderly line, folks. Let’s face the end with dignity, shall we?

“Wow.”
You might have figured it out by now, but “megabits per second” is abbreviated as “Mbps” with an uppercase m; yeah, it’s kinda pedantic, but using lowercase means it’s a millibit, which is much, much smaller. The same applies to “gigabits per second,” which should be expressed as “Gbps.”
At any rate, thank you for posting this, it really is good news. And about time they did this, too.
Hey, this is my hometown, fuck you man

Hi Margot, that’s an interesting observation. Those kind of artifacts have been associated with the big screen for so long that they keep persisting in the public consciousness, even though digital production is now the norm. I think we forget sometimes that these were not stylistic choices but the result of the limitations of film equipment. Nostalgia can be a weird intoxicating thing, I wonder if we’ll ever feel the same way about AM radio?
Oh, and I’m sorry to do the “akshually” thing, but adjusts glasses some directors have been known to shine flashlights into the camera while filming to create intentional lens flare effects. So, like, it does happen in the film industry too. Sorry, wasn’t going for a “gotcha” moment… I akshually did have to adjust my glasses just now and felt obligated.
What a crock of shit. Johnson & Johnson netted $17 billion USD in 2022, so it’s not like they can’t afford to pay any settlements. They just don’t want to. In the last 5 years they netted 84 billion dollars, and that is all profit. Yeah, fuck you, J&J

Everyone was blown away, like holy shit, that was amazing
