Brilliant! That worked!

This was one of the rare times I installed a firmware update without waiting. They even sent an email telling me how urgent it was to get my NAS patched.

To that note, anyone have any idea how to get Hyper Backup to stop telling me that my backups are “partial” because Video Station is no longer found? It’s not even on the list of apps, but tells me that it’s been disabled as an option to back up because it’s not available. Annoying!

Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing “choose your country”, cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

Compared to something like the FF extension “SingleFile”, I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

Yup. He does a great job “selling” ideas that simply aren’t grounded in reality.

Like that wall that Mexico was going to pay for. What an idiot. Did his base think the United States would just send Mexico a bill for work completed and expect them to pay it? You couldn’t make this buffoonery up!

Offer them a life that’s better than the one leading them down that path.

My dude, Democrats actually do offer a life that’s better for everyone, but that’s the problem.

These people don’t want other people to live better lives, they only want a better life for themselves. And the only way to get there is to quite literally either kill other people or make their lives unlivable.

Someone who’s willing to die or be put in jail “to stop the jews” or whatever bullshit they subscribe to, doesn’t give a damn about universal healthcare or a woman’s reproductive rights.

On the flip side, they aren’t voting for a guy who will improve their lives (not in the way you and I would view as an improved life). They are voting for a guy who will make OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES miserable. Because that’s how their world view works.

Unless you want Democrats to do the same, they are on completely different wavelengths.

I wish I was wrong.

This is probably what Trump thinks, too.

100%. If he isn’t reading it from a script that someone else wrote, he knows nothing about the topics he’s talking about.

He even boasts about “knowing more than anyone about XYZ”, yet, it can’t expand on the subject, can’t answer questions about it, is vague, and reminds me of how really bad LLMs answer questions.

It will.

Unfortunately, it will also hurt those who wanted nothing to do with Trump’s lies.

Everyone, except the rich, will suffer. Thanks for voting! /s

How do you “appeal” to future domestic terrorists when they believe it’s their calling to tear down everything good in society?

I’m not trying to be sarcastic or dramatic, but they are drawn to Trump because he embodies all the horrible things they aspire to become.

How can a political party that speaks of equality and justice even possibly make a connection with them? It sounds nice, but how would it happen without making your current base feel like you only want to help the worst behaved?

I’ve been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.

You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/

You’ll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.

edit: holy hell. Grammar.

These are the tips that the Kleenex company doesn’t want you to know! LOL

If you feel a sneeze coming on, pinch the soft tissue at the bridge of your nose. For me, this stops a sneeze 99% of the time.

I self-host https://floccus.org/

If you’ve got a browser that supports plugins, then you can use the floccus add-in. But for Android, I use the floccus app since it’s just easier.

Floccus is primarily a bookmarking service, but if you want to save articles for viewing later Linkwarden might be a better fit.

Because social media amplifies and incentivises minority, hateful views to make it seem like everyone is concerned about these things.

The reality is, it’s the same small group of hateful idiots who are always in the spotlight.

In real life, even in small towns, people either don’t care or they celebrate how far we’ve come as a society.

Yeah, inverse, but not identical.

Check this one out!

(hint: it’s the top right… totally different size/shape, but considered “identical”. FML

I had 15 of these goddamn things, and if you get one wrong they start you off again from #1, but after you’ve done the entire series!

EDIT: Also, wtf is the object? A wired personal vibrator?

Nearly all containers (glass or plastic) need to have their label removed to recycle properly. And you must rinse them out, too.

Some can be recycled with the label on, but only if the plastic used is the type that can be recycled. Confusing and frustrating, yes.

The crappy thing is that some labels really don’t come off easily because they’ve been glued in place… those are awful to recycle because it requires quite a bit of extra effort, soaking, adhesive remover, etc… 😂

Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don’t deserve to stay in business.
