Roku Jellyfin app has been pretty good lately, few complaints now!

Mozilla has done some dumb stuff lately, but I’m glad Thunderbird is still out there and getting better all the time. The mobile version has been a nice step in the right direction.

Just about the only thing Remco and I have in common!

I liked the first two (about Cordelia) better than the Miles books in some ways. He’s just a kid, she’s more interesting in a lot of ways.

That said, I think the best bit of the whole series is the Miles-focused novella The Mountains of Mourning.

Hot.

This seems fine, so long as the journos remember how to pull up stakes once a platform decays. I hope they learn a lesson about the importance of owning your own audience, follower lists, etc.

The episode has a point, all this nuclear talk is a fig leaf for really excessive and probably pointless energy consumption. So-called AI feels like a Ponzi scheme in more ways than one.

She ain’t Gainan, and she lost touch years ago. She spent a View episode with then-mayor DeBlasio whining about bike lanes in Manhattan, when more than half the city can’t even own a car and she was being driven into the city for tapings. No sympathy.

Nazis feel emboldened to march in multiple cities this year:

You love to see it!

I really think Americans just need to experience good rail service in their country for it to take off. They ride HSR overseas but then come home and keep getting in their cars.

Also, we need to build the expertise, so I love to see projects like this actually getting done.

Nice! It’s the off-season, but sure, let’s build something up!

Credit unions used to have some limitations, like no national or regional reach, but now they link their ATMs in networks together, and depositing a check is as simple as taking a picture with your phone. They’ve given me good loan rates, relatively good interest rates on checking accounts and CDs, and I always get a human when I call. Your money is insured up to $250k through the NCUA, basically the credit Union version of the FDIC. And you own part of the credit union, and the income stays local. There probably isn’t a perfect financial institution, but credit unions can be close.

That kinda tells you what kind of business Tesla is, if its valuation is based on politics and government-adjascent grift rather than vehicles sold and revenue.

I like this market segment, I’m glad RE is in this space, but I hate that saddle.

Womp womp on that price.

Andreesen is a hypocritical NIMBY who can go walk into the ocean for all I care. His opinion shouldn’t matter.

He’s probably right in this instance, but rich people do not deserve to be listened to just because they are rich.

Boooooooooo!

Just a reminder, the “major questions doctrine” is bullshit, used by the partisan conservatives to ignore the plain text of a statute whenever they want to engineer an outcome. Don’t pretend that this is anything less than make-believe judicial bullshit.

Thanks, Biden!
