Not sure. YouTube broke it on their own end – and conveniently only for Firefox again. 🤔

From what I read last week, basically they were sending chunks of the video stream in a completely invalid way. Essentially saying a new chunk of the video begins at an earlier frame than the last chunk ended.

Maybe they mean compiled without it entirely instead of disabled by default, but still available?

Snapchat has been a shit company for years. They threatened to sue third party client developers for Windows Phone, they purposely degrade camera quality on Android, etc (For awhile on Android they were just screenshotting the viewfinder instead of actually using the camera APIs.)

I agree about the characters. It’s my main problem with the series. It got a little better as time went on but so many of the bridge crew may have well been extras for the first couple seasons. It wouldn’t have changed anything because it was The Michael Burnham Show.

The overarching season plots also keep getting more and more worn out as it goes. It’s okay to have the stakes be lower than destruction on a galactic scale. It’s okay to slow down and tell interesting stories and not feel like a panicked mess.

Worst? I hardly think that.

SNW is wonderful. It feels like old Star Trek in such a wonderful way that sets it apart from the weaknesses of Discovery, even though it was birthed out of Discovery.

Picard was at worst inoffensive. Slow in places, season 2 was weird, and season 3 was solid albeit looking back at it with a little time, a ton of it was nostalgia and finally wrapping up everything about TNG.

IIRC MIUI has for quite a while been tuned very aggressively in terms of memory management. That is to say, it’s probably not the browser but the underlying OS that is pruning processes to keep memory free when it really doesn’t need to.

It was doing this to me a while back. Are you using a VPN or using an ad-blocker specifically for Twitch’s embedded stream ads? (e.g. TTV-LOL-Pro) The latter work by using proxies and so I think trigger the same sort of effects. Disabled it and it worked fine. It also happened on a Chromium-based browser when I tested it out.

They’ll eventually just push them into Egypt. It doesn’t matter that Egypt doesn’t want them. It matters more that Egypt probably won’t start shooting over it. And if they do they’ll be labelled anti-semites anyway and Israel will take the Sinai or something.

Yep. The failed dual reactor project in SC that also used the AP1000s was a gigantic clusterfuck. Most of the major contractors had essentially no experience on projects of the scale and it resulted in massive cost overruns, delays, and a compounding web of fraud and lies to shareholders and regulators that wound up in utility executives in prison and the eventual sale of the entire utility SCANA to Dominion Energy.

The trick about deradicalizing people is that you need to actually listen to their concerns and allow them a peaceful way to politically and economically achieve a life of dignity. The word Netanyahu likely wants to say instead is eradicated.

That’s what Israel is doing, has been doing, and would continue to do whether the hostages are returned or not.

Well in the case of Russia it seems the safer play to not allow them in. Or next thing you know you have separatist republics set up trying to become Russian oblasts.

The lesser of two evils is currently arming, funding, giving military planning and operational guidance to, and vetoing UN resolutions for an apartheid state that has bombed thousands of women and children in the last two months. A state that has 2+ million people living in a squalid hellhole somewhere between a ghetto and a concentration camp. Where the majority of people are now displaced, lack food, and clean water. Where there are likely still thousands of bodies decaying under rubble all paid for with our tax dollars.

Worst case scenario I’ll end up in a mass grave here too. But I’m not going to actively vote for it to happen to someone else so that it won’t hypothetically maybe happen to me.

Sure. I’ll take my naive principles, you can have fun endorsing genocide. You can cry about the downvote this time.

I don’t need a historical precedent. This is a democracy. The votes are not owed. The votes must be won. If 4% is the number who are telling you something and you can’t win without that 4%, it might behoove you to pay attention to what they’re telling you.

I didn’t downvote you. It’s almost like other people exist in the comment section and can vote.

I voted for Clinton in 2016 as the lesser of two evils. She lost. Maybe the Democratic party should listen when voters are telling them their candidate is shit.

When even the lesser of two evils is complicity in ethnic cleansing and genocide, then I think I’ll opt to vote for someone not evil instead.

If the Democratic party wants my vote all they have to do is put up a candidate who isn’t onboard with ethnic cleansing and genocide. If that’s too much to ask, and they lose to Republicans, they have no one to blame but themselves.

He’s held positions antithetical to most of conservatism for quite a long time. Still some things bother me. His religiousity, issues of his personal finances, etc. So I’m still quite undecided. I’ve got 10 months or so to decide.

Not sure yet. Maybe a Green Party candidate or Cornel West. I’ve previously tried to vote for the lesser of two evils, but when this is what that entails, it’s not worth it.
