You said "Open Source development." Which in the grand scheme of things is pretty small.

Trump is a narcissist grifter who does not posess the emotional intelligence (or actual intelligence) to reason about having a moral or political position. Which plants him firmly as an authoritarian.

I think the possible adverse impacts to society would not be outweighed by something that small.

I swear I read the headline as
Beer can tools to solve problems

Ehh, I liked Universe a lot, and I never could get into the main Stargate series.

The CIA can't just make arrests on US soil. They actually do need the FBI to do that. That's another form of oversight.

It's a shame because they were so good for so long. I used Rokus for 10+ years.....back when you had to actually pay for them. Once the $30 Roku stick became a thing it was all over.

Narcissits falling for a syncophancy machine? Who could have predicted such an outcome?

I dumped Roku a couple of years ago when they made it clear that I was the product rather than the customer. Generic android boxes work just fine these days and if you're just running Plex/Emby/Jellyfin or whatever you don't even need to sign into a google account - in fact you can remove the play store all together if you buy one that is ASOP. Add to this projectivy or some other sane launcher and you don't have to worry about ads or things changing that you did not ask for or want.

There was no way to know it was a grift. Unless of course you saw every other obvious grift he had run on his followers for years before.

Typical magat response. You can't refute the facts so you attack the poster. What a fucking loser.

"Nothing can be fixed while people continue to believe there's a difference between Team Red and Team Blue when the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue"

Yeah, people have been spouting that off for decades. The funny thing is, whenever Team Red or Team Blue is in charge you see a real difference.

I've also never heard the dorm room philosophers who think both parties are the same ever explain exactly why if the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue why the billionaires spend so much time, money, and energy trying to get Team Red into office. Shouldn't they just relax?

SearXNG. It's far from perfect but it's doing hte job for now.

If you want "jellyfin that actually works" try Emby. They're on the same enshitification path as Plex because they also made the same lifetime pass revenue mistake, but they're not quite as far along yet. I dumped plex when they started pushing their own shitty ad-littered content over things in my own library. The plex apologists cry out that I've configured it wrong - which I didn't. The clients love to go back to user-hostile defaults on updates. But that was just a bug! Multiple times? Yeah, I don't think so.

What a beautiful strawman you've built.
