Boink! Right into the pillar, again

I open the series folder from the mounted network share and watch it in VLC.

Similar, but I have a RPI by the TV running LibreELEC and Kodi.

Just a matter of time until you can’t chose what to watch on the lowest tier, you have to follow their playlist of what you should watch.

And we have come full circle back to broadcast TV

The unstable part is just compared to other versions of Debian. Every now and then a package dependency breaks, but usually nothing serious and you can still use the system until it is fixed within hours. It is not like the system will constantly crash, it is still linux.

I have used sid for years without any major problems. Usually only on desktop though.

I think that is just an effect of growing, or at least not shrinking and sticking around. There is ni point in spaming somewhere where there are no active users.

It should be doable to so some audio analysis of the episodes. They “always” (I am sure some forget every now and then), have an outro and intro around the ad block. With a clearly defined jingle per podcast. You should be able to make a program that analyses the audio and listens for that block and cuts it out for you.

Nice rack!

That exact same phrase is used in a very different context in other communities!

You fool! The en passant odds are through the roof!

Well it makes sense if you think about it.

You invest a million dollar in 100 companies, 95 fail, 4 makes 10 million each. If the last one hits at least 60 million you are even, anything above is pure profit. Basically just throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks.

Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.

The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.

Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

Or even worse, password field doesn’t work with paste.

Yepp. Started using Debian around the Ham/Slink releases, haven’t found any reason to change yet.

It says “could” not “will”, so they will just never implement that part.

The funny thing is that the cookie warning only applies to tracking cookies, for stuff like session cookies you do not need it.

But it is always easier to just nag the user too many times than to risk something, so everyone just adds the warning anyway.

Also, IANAL so don’t trust me!

The problem is that your whole family has to be not dumb enough.

Yeah, that is just how youtube works. You as an individual can say you don’t like annoying thumbnails and titles, but they 100% work. And channels that don’t use them are just not getting as many viewers.

More often than not that is corporate speak for “we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn’t want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now”

I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.

Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I’m not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can’t tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!
