I swear both of them have already promised and/or done this.

Edit: Yes. Biden declassified 99% just last year. (Another thing Donnie promised, that Joe actually did. Infrastructure week!) I'm sure the final 1% will finally prove every conspiracy true... /s

I have as much faith in Nikki "doing the right thing" as I do Melania. They've bent the knee and kissed the ~~ring~~ mushroom micropenis, and made it very clear who they are. We should listen.

"Don't eat roadkill, kids. You could end up like... RFK Jr!!" (shudders) (kids scream and run to hide)

It really does seem like Florida has seen a significant influx of "southerners" since COVID. Hard to believe it was a purple state not long ago (Gillum within 0.5% of Ron). I feel for the tens of millions of reasonably intelligent, non-poisoned voting people there (similar to Texas).

What if we send them to someone else first, and let them drop The Democracy right on the civilian population? Damn, still not working. Must need smarter, more sophisticated bombs...

I used Power Delete Suite (javascript IIRC, via Firefox, year ago) to edit and delete, and mine are still gone. Not sure if it is still effective.

Reddit is probably less and less tolerant about edits and deletions, now that they're full speed on selling our data. Still see plenty of deleted posts when I'm searching for things, which is... nice I guess (bittersweet).

Great info for Texas, thank you. Early voting during that second week is my favorite. The first few days, there may be some small lines (depending on local population, etc). But that's usually a good sign. If Texans voted appropriately, could even demand (gasp) mail-in ballots. For now, just thankful they haven't taken early voting...

I've finally made one tiny step into the Linux pool: Replacing my little old Plex server & NAS (mini PC, Windows 10) with... an even tinier Raspberry Pi 5.

It's been nice to finally have an excuse to start learning Linux: commands, bash scripts, ssh, samba shares, etc. I've always admired lean, portable FOSS, so it's way overdue.

The "Sign in with Google" popups on virtually every site? It's nuts. I was just trying to figure this out today. Try these or these.

All this talk of DivX, but no mention of (the open source alternative) XviD? Maybe people confuse them. I think I had way more XviD videos at the time.

I'm kind of amazed that I haven't subscribed to Netflix in years now. They are always raising prices, and are too special to offer discounts (unlike competitors). Quality has generally gone downhill. They barely advertise, so I only hear of a few hits that escape the bubble. Most of their revenue seems to be from FOMO at this point, plus "eh, it's good enough". I'm happy to sail the high seas to obtain any highly-rated content they might accidentally produce.
