Perhaps. But I think I may have figured out their logic… no bears under water. So they won’t have to worry about bear attack while drowning from lack of maintenance

None of the people who should hear it will understand it. The people who understand it didn’t support it. Sigh, this is our lives for the next 4+ years I suppose. Unless player 2 joins the game again.

Also works for prime games. And if you are on Linux especially GOG as well.

Which is also an absolutely important thing to keep pointing out. Considering how much we are Awash in revisionist history no matter what side of the political divide you are on.

The beginning was long before that. The beginning was when he didn’t prosecute and punish his would be assassins. Letting them keep their seats in government to be the very ones to erode the small trinkets he won. Fighting dirty won’t bring any lasting change. It needs the support of the people and a willingness to run and serve to protect it. He didn’t have it then and we still don’t have it now. So if a modern Democrat did happen to get something passed in an underhanded Way fighting dirty. It would be undone even faster. If you fight with a pig they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

That’s also literally the reason why everything FDR got has been gutted and is largely gone. He didn’t go about things properly. Instead of trying and hanging the people that plotted to overthrow him. He organized backroom deals allowing them to go free and undo everything he forced them to do.

Republicans can do that because they’ve been largely unified. If a Democrat tried that others in their own party with different agendas would sell them out immediately. Solidarity goes a long long way. And while I hate all the empty campaign lies. You cannot deny that they still work. Trump has made good on it twice now. Not fulfilling his promises that is. But promising the world and delivering nothing. All because Republicans generally have solidarity

Remember when unions thought they were so Irreplaceable and important. That they would withhold Support for a second term from a Democrat, they didn’t think did enough for them. One of the biggest miscalculations and blunders of the post World War II era. Because first they came for the unions and labor power.

Have you considered. That rather than a problem of the Obama administration. That perhaps that’s more an issue of you not setting realistic expectations?

Democrats with anything short of an unassailable commanding majority that could afford the attrition of 10 or more members. Would never be able to do that sort of thing. And they didn’t. Because the Democrat Party is a coalition. Not a monolithic party. It is made up of Democrats, and people who understand how the American election system works. And will do what they can to keep Republicans from as many offices as possible. Democrats at best had a tenuous veto proof majority for not even 2 weeks. And to even get what they got passed. Rapey drowny man who was only a year or two from death. Literally got up out of his hospital death bed to come in and vote.

No one I know who voted for Obama had any serious expectation that we were getting Single Payer. Did we hope that maybe a miracle would happen? Absolutely. But no one expected it. Most of us were pretty chuffed with what we got as lackluster as it was.

And no I’m not saying that we should all love and kiss the ass of liberal Democrats. They talk a good social Progressive talk. But are financially beholden to the problem. Therefore any solutions they have to offer are going to be handicapped at best.

But it’s kind of bullshit for us to attack them over it. If we cannot offer them similar resources and support so that they don’t have to rely on Wealthy oligarchs who are the problem. That’s an us problem. And not a problem of those trying to survive the system as it exists and get elected.

Short of a mass resurgence and re-energization of unions. Or some other similar solidarity group. It’s not going to change either. Because let’s be clear. We’re where we are today. Because back in the '80s unions thought they were so Irreplaceable and secure. They did what third-party voters do now. Withholding support for the only group with a chance of beating the fascist. Thinking that they would teach Democrats a lesson. Only to find out that they were the ones that were learning a lesson. That they were no longer relevant. When first they came for labor and unions. One of the worst miscalculations in post World War II American history. An epic self own. And no one learned.

It’s a byproduct of the week to non-existent DRM and copy protection. It takes zero modding to run Homebrew Etc on them. So The Homebrew Community got started early and built up fairly large and diverse. With such lower barriers to entry.

I picked up one for around $50 I think when they were blowing them out at Best Buy to get rid of their inventory. Still use it from time to time. It was a great little system.

Very. But I still expect to see plenty of hypocritical leninists ignoring or defending this. Telling us that Daddy Xi is only killing them for their own good. And that if they just lay back and took it that they would learn to enjoy it.

Not that it’s ever made sense that they defend certain capitalists. While denouncing capitalism and other capitalist governments.

I tried it back when it was high fidelity. It was a bit of a wonky service at the time. Poked at it a bit late 2022 early 2023 after it forked to vircadia. I had mixed experiences getting it up and visible. Eventually gave up for a while. It has some promise.

The one thing that kind of stuck negatively with me though, is that many Dev etc seemed to be heavy crypto bros? But YMMV. Will have to check and see if there were any updates in the last year.

Interesting. Will have to take a look at it later. I currently use Jellyfin and don’t have many issues. The only thing that might be a pain point is tuner support. I didn’t see anything mentioned. But looks nice otherwise. And intrigued to see its largely in Go.

Yes, surprising and welcome early steps.

There are multiple 20 day old ACCTS here posting that sort of thing. Though I’m sure its some sort of coincidence and not an indication of bad faith and ban evasion.

And hardware that’s GENERATIONS behind.

For admins, yes. I was pointing that out in the picture of the responses I posted. But not for General users.

Gonna put this out there. Ended up in a thread on ML the other day. The poster/admin got a little unhinged, over 4 down votes. 4. Took to the admin panel to see who dared down vote him. Convinced he had been the victim of the tiniest not swarm ever.

It’s troubling behavior for anyone with power.
