I feel like that one isn’t that hard to remember because “its” stands out as a common exception to the rule for possessive singular nouns.

“It’s” is a contraction of “it is” while “its” is possessive.

Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you’re going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.

I doubt it will be climate change specifically. I think it will be the increasing political divisiveness. It’ll be a whole bunch of different issues, climate change included, that neither political party can agree on the reality of, much less how to address them that will continue to escalate tensions between the two major political parties until we reach the point of a second civil war.

I think America is less than 50 years away from that point. The path we’re on ends in war. Who knows if our country will survive.

If it weren’t for your retropie post and the fact that she’s gone no-contact with our dad, I’d question if you were my sister, because this sounds like something she’d do with almost the same family size/relative ages.

Both of these read like the author is simultaneously looking down on both groups of developers in disgust and trying to represent them as some kind of idealized stereotype of a specific group of developers.

Ah, it’s one of those. I was thinking it was the TV’s OS.

I don’t have a lot of experience with those smaller dongles, but as I understand it they’re fairly low power devices that are more meant for streaming relatively low bitrate media from the internet or from a phone. It may not have the horsepower for playing back high bitrate media from Jellyfin or Plex.

Others may have a solution that’ll work for that device, but my gut response is to say you should consider replacing it with something more powerful.

Unless you have a commitment to only using open source software, I’d recommend Plex over Jellyfin. Mostly because I’ve found the client software for Jellyfin to be lacking, especially on AppleTV.

For the issues with the GoogleTV, you mention that it’s on WiFi, would it be possible to use a wired connection or get another set top box for it? Some TVs have the WiFi antenna behind the screen causing interference, so even though other devices get a strong signal the TV doesn’t.

Also, how’s the hardware on your server? Is the CPU powerful enough or do you have a GPU for transcoding? Also, is the server on WiFi or wired?

It’s worth noting that a lot of settop boxes have limited codec support, which might be forcing transcoding even if everything should otherwise support direct play.

Yes, precious.

Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.

Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.

I was birthed to that album.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think you mean here.

I think it depends on your definition of positive.

In the short-term I think there will be some economic benefits. Long-term not so much.

But for positive effects that’s about all I’ve got.

The political climate will become more divisive.

Red states will enact more regressive policies driving left-leaning voters out, while attracting large businesses into those states with economic incentives. Which will cause blue states to lose jobs.

The Democrat party will be pushed further to the right as they try to court the needed electoral college votes from red states, leaving their actual voter base feeling less and less represented and driving resentment from the left.

All of which will eventually set the stage for a second American civil war within the next couple of decades. Though that assumes we don’t blunder our way into WW3 by antagonizing China with a trade war when they’ve already indicated that they intend to start militarily enforcing their One China policies. A protracted trade war with the US would potentially force their hand. If that happens we will be forced to defend our allies in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China has enough allies and is economically powerful enough that such a conflict could rapidly balloon into a world war. Which would likely stave off an American civil war for at least a few additional decades.

I think we’re watching the culmination of nearly a century of shortsighted, reactive policies enacted by greedy people that have progressively escalated in a way that you could almost mistake for a long term plan. I don’t think any of this will end well and I think the new administration is in a position to make things significantly worse for a great many people and fully intends to do so. Nothing good will come of this.

That looks useful, I might host that. Does anyone have an RSS feed of at risk data?

I think it technically would be copyright, it’s his likeness that the scumbag is using without permission.

Didn’t Willie Nelson out smoke Snoop Dogg at one point?

But also, yes, old school country that tried to tell a story and wasn’t just formulaic pandering to rural americans was great.

I’m not, but for a few bars of gold-pressed latinum I could be.

Most weapons. Bows and swords are cooler than guns and knives. Trebuchets and catapults are cooler than any form of modern artillery.

Modern warfare, when it becomes necessary, should be fought purely with weapons designed prior to the 16th century. Just replace horses with dirtbikes and ATVs.
