  • Never could get Kodi to work for me. Guess I’ll try out the jellyfin one, thanks for the suggestion. But also, if this is possible, why can’t I figure out an easy way to just cast from my phone to my desktop?

    From what I can gather, the little cast button is implemented via a google-specific api, and in the interest of DRM, all apps and OSes that show it will only cast content to specific “blessed” devices that are locked down.

    If I could run a program on my PC that behaved identically to a Chromecast as far as my and my guests phones are concerned, I would be sooooo happy. Because then I can put that on a raspi and hook it to my TV without having google MITM everything I do.

  • The 50s were objectively a time of prosperity and entitlement for the US. It’s literally why they’re called “boomers”, it was an economic boom. We had high taxes on the rich, people saw those tax dollars translate into quality public services like highways, corporate competition was high, education was affordable, housing was plentiful. It was undoubtedly the best time to be a while male in US history.

    And then capitalism did its efficient best to buy up the govt and begin squeezing all that prosperity into their pockets. And here we are.
