The version of this I hate is when a program has built in hard sub translation for foreign language sections, which get covered up by the soft subs only saying “< speaking [language] >”. So now my deaf ass can understand one language or the other, but not both without toggling captions on and off constantly.

from a shitty movie extremely loosely based on good sci-fi

This seems like an appropriate time to repost Wikihistory.

I think part of why you’re getting downvoted to hell is because your initial comment reads like “I don’t have the answers (none of us do), but I know yours is wrong. I’m not contributing any facts to show why you’re wrong, but because I feel strongly that you are, I’ve decided to be insulting about it.”

I get it, world politics is complicated. Absolutely no action on a world stage is without unexpected consequences. But that in itself is not an argument for arming an ethnostate we know to be killing civilians at an alarming rate. And the unexpected consequences would have to be damned severe to outweigh the known consequences of our current actions: if we keep providing weapons to Israel, those weapons will be used to kill women and children in droves.

Since you are a person “with knowledge of how any of it works”, please share with the class what those penalties and repercussions are. Educate us poor ignorant “random Internet citizens”.

My favorite explanation: “it confuses the shit out of their brains”

It’s a conceptual nightmare!

I was in the same boat and wound up buying a scanner and installing Paperless. Scanner sends the files to my network drop box, Paperless picks them up from the drop box and digitizes them. I finally got rid of like an entire garbage bag of old pay stubs and stuff that I had been hoarding.

It shouldn’t take this long to get to imdb

In case anyone here isn’t aware, you can directly search IMDB from DuckDuckGo by using the bang !imdb.

I ran into something similar where the main Syncthing interface was limiting a folder to “Send Only” with that same “locked to read only” message. In my case I was able to work around it by going to the Web GUI and there I was able to set the folder in question to “Send & Receive”. I don’t know if it will apply to your situation, but you might give that a shot if you haven’t already.

Trailblazers: Into the March?

J? On a Roman numeral?

Not trying to question your motives here (seriously, I’m not) but I grimace hearing “we’re only months away from the election, we couldn’t possibly make changes now” because it has a perverse similarity to the argument Mitch McConnell used to ratfuck his way into an extra SC justice. And we all know how that turned out.

The internal speakers cutting off while docked seems to be a bug; I had the same issue and was able to work around it by following this comment.

For music, I have FreeTube and Tidal installed as non-steam games. I’d prefer if I could hit the media control shortcuts on my keyboard and control Tidal while I’m in a game, for example, but I haven’t found a way to do that. The closest I’ve gotten is by installing Decky Loader and the Music Control plugin.

Not originally a movie, but:

“Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest you piece of shit.”
