  • Aight Joe, now's the time to just forgive it all.

  • They were interviewing a dude from the oversight panel on NPR. He said, after being asked if it was due to the election:

    MCCONNELL: Well, I'm now speaking just for myself. This is not the oversight board speaking, but I do think that there's bad optics here, that it looks like and may be even the reality - I don't know. But it certainly looks like this is buckling to political pressure. I would have liked to have seen these reforms laid out, you know, in more - in less contentious and partisan times so that they would be considered on the merits rather than looking like this is - you know, Donald Trump is president, and now they're caving.

    Edit: grabbed actual source and quote instead of from memory

    There are some other gems in there

  • Pure poetry

  • Found Elon's fediverse account

  • My pleading with the universe hope is that what's in that evidence is in fact damning enough that the public would immediately call for him to actually face justice.

    But again, "pleading" hope

  • I tend to post then disappear lol but what the other person said: at the router level, I added a rule specifically to block a given list of MAC addresses. That included IP cams & the ecobee, then had HA act on data from other sources to adjust temperature.

    The one I was proud of was 433mhz door and window sensors that, if opened for too long, would turn off the heat / air and just leave a fan on.

  • One of the nifty things about smart thermostats like Ecobees is that you can pull usage data from their web portal.

    Ecobee also let's you connect over HomeKit and allows you to control when the internet is out 😉at my old house I actually blocked the mac address for non internal and just had HA automatons take care of the rest.

  • Thanks, I needed another thing to think about at night 🫠

    Dude literally couldn't deal with an Obama era deal such that he set himself up for this. 2025 is definitely lining up to explode...

  • One of the biggest new headline additions to LineageOS 22 is a brand new music application aptly named “Twelve,” which sunsets the old “Eleven” system music player. The fresh lick of paint brings Material You design, a dedicated landscape mode for tablets and larger displays like foldables, support for various music library server protocols, including Subsonic and Jellyfin, and lots of other tweaks to improve your listening experience.

    Well, shit. This is pretty sweet to have those protocols baked in

  • Benny Hill screaming loudly in my head

  • Iirc, the 4th movie was intentionally bad and meant to be a bomb because the wachowski sister that did come back only did so that no one else would touch their story.

  • Hey, Rubber was a phenomenal movie.

  • The article states that some of them just wanted a candidate to acknowledge them, which trump did. Regardless of how he's actually going to implement policies, he did a bare minimum for them, which reflects in the results.

    No other real editorializing needed, unfortunately.

  • But not the current profits. Same idea as oil companies burying that they would utterly destroy the climate, but it was "far enough in the future" that the potential money to be gained was better short term.

  • Probably the lang system is missing some translations?
