Police Union: How could you trample on the sacred rights of the police to escalate any situation into multiple fatalities?

Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!

I use private trackers exclusively for content I want to "own" or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you're maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out...

Anyway, they complement each other well.

Yep. If they somehow were left with only cis white men, they'd redefine cis, white, or man to divide the remaining people.

They can't run a candidate that can win because that would require a platform that steps on too many donors' toes.

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...

Ideally the FDA should not be swayed by business interests, but everything controlled by our government is. That said, you want the FDA to exist and protect us from bullshit snake oil products and keep corporations from lacing our food with cheap poisons and carcinogens.

Trump gutting the organization makes it go from "could do better" to "actively subverting its own purpose."

Bakula just hit the Archer casting too perfectly. The man just exudes boy scout, it's what made Quantum Leap work too.

Perfect headline.

Honestly, with Flatpak and immutable base systems this is a place Linux is really excelling now too. Being able to show a novice user a shared package manager with a search and a bunch of common apps and them actually install/remove them in a safe manner with a high likelihood they'll work out of the box (since they come with all their deps in sync independent from distro) is kinda huge.

For kernel dev it would be a disaster, there's too much implicit action, and abstractions that have unknown runtime cost. The classic answer is that everyone uses 10% of its features over C, but nobody can agree on which 10%.

As someone forced to get up to date with C++ recently, at this point it's a language in full identity crisis. It wants so badly to be Rust, but it's got decades of baggage it's dragging along.

In a world where Valve controls 90% of what is running on a device with immutable / containerized images, yeah I think Arch makes a lot more sense. A distro focused on rolling release is a lot less likely to hang you up when you choose to update.

Debian is great, but depending on where you are in the release cycle it can be a pain in the ass to stay up to date and, frankly, the last time I ran it, shit like apt/dpkg configuration and so many /etc files and structures just felt like mis-features or too complex for their own good.

Yeah, my sister-in-law has an iPhone and all of my wife's pics and videos turn to garbage in transit. For the longest my SIL just thought Android cameras were terrible and it locked her in to iPhones at upgrade time - which is exactly what Apple intended.
