Another traveler of the wireways.
Cryptocurrency orgs have done one job extremely well here, and that’s blatantly demonstrate that the best way to try to fast track legislation is Big Money.
It’s like how all the cryptocurrency screwups demonstrate why there are financial regulations to begin with, now they’re inadvertently helping demonstrate extremely clearly why we need to get money out of politics.
The sort of bizarre thing about this kind of trash legislation is, if you take a moment to consider it as being in good faith (which it’s not but…), it lays the groundwork for delegitimizing its own supporters.
If the elections were so insecure and widely defrauded as to justify and demand this legislation, then there’s zero reason to believe those seeking to pass the legislation have any legitimacy whatsoever. After all, they may have only gotten their positions by exploiting the elections’ insecurity, and if not exploiting it, benefiting from it nonetheless and should in turn resign instead of further diminishing the integrity of the governments’ institutions.
However, obviously they don’t want people to consider that angle, and this is mainly a means to disenfranchise voters and sow further institutional distrust while encouraging party loyalty, as there is no genuine basis for this legislation.
Great stuff! Thanks again to everyone working on this!
Updated and appreciate the work!
Noticed a couple things that feel like bugs though: the first collections screen now displays a redundant blank collections folder, which when entered has duplicates of whatever collections you have from the first screen.
Second, when viewing a specific collection of shows, it displays the show folders interspersed between all the episodes of said shows.
Expected display behavior is one’s collection folders, then when a show collection folder is opened, the show folders but not the episodes unless the folder is opened to view them (or a display setting is chosen to view all episodes from all the shows).
Checked server settings to make sure I hadn’t mucked something up and everything on its end looks okay, same as ever.
Was thinking the same and you can.
Minimal fucking around needed too, just pkg install imagemagick then navigate filesystem to images ya want to adjust and magick however desired to reduce the file size.
Image edit idea: swap out the word racism for bigotry, and switch “the n-word” to slurs. More fully describes the awful.
Appreciate this post OP, as I’ve wondered similar at times when not wanting to fuss with another machine for self-hosting (as often it’s not the case that I could run the server software on my main system).
Aah I follow ya. As evident in my comment, I tend to pair absurdism with its related philosophy existentialism for something of a grounding effect, personally.
I disagree. Stoicism at its worst may lead to resignation. Absurdism encourages defying the meaninglessness of existence in large part by recognizing meaning is made.
In the face of a cold, uncaring existence, absurdism or existentialism are two great philosophies to employ to reimagine how we want to be in the world and how we want the world to be compared to stoicism, which would reach its limits with and within reason. Absurdism recognizes reason’s limits and realizes one needs more than reason alone to persist.
Sort of odd to see this again (from Vox as well, I think?). It seems to add more detail, but the bottom line remains the same: it’s largely because fewer people are trying to immigrate into the U.S. since the Trump admin entered office.
This all sucks, and another part that sucks about it is that as usual, in the absence of as many of the Republicans’/conservatives’ favorite scapegoats, they begin turning inward and grabbing anyone and everyone that remotely resembles those scapegoats to abuse and deport to appeal to their base. Without more pushback, and as those deportation numbers continue to dwindle, you can expect that they’ll begin more widely rounding up their detractors (or at least attempting to).
