I guess I should’ve said “on its own dedicated hardware” too but, still.

I think I remember reading somewhere about a firmware update that was pretty recent (8/2025) specifically for latency issues, you might want to check that out if you’ve had it awhile.

It’s probably just scrolling speed or debounce or something silly like that lol. Like moving from Android to iOS. I’d bet if you used FF for a couple days you wouldn’t even notice it anymore without something to compare it to.

Have you thought about moving your HA off your server and onto a miniPC? I know you weren’t really looking for advice but that seems like the move to me tbh, doesn’t take long to migrate and it might clear up a lot of headaches.

lol, as if anyone pays for QA anymore.

The do-nothings are always eternally perfect because they never commit to anything.

The real world isn’t a Disney movie or an anime. You don’t know someone’s true motivations most of the time and, even if you did, they can change after a while. But doing nothing IS a decision, and the wrong one most of the time.

When you miss all the nuance of a story, of course it doesn’t make any sense lol.

Paul having prescience is a central axiom of the entire novel. They’re his golden chains and the true antagonist of the entire story. Not having it means a very mundane Dune imo.

Have you seen this one? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=44467

You won’t find a “simple adapter” with those specs, you’re solidly in dock territory and you’re going to pay a lot extra for something capable of HDMI 2.1.

No… it’s like picking up those apples, shipping them across the country, and then charging customers a delivery fee. Which is perfectly reasonable because time and fuel cost money.

Plex helps you (and others) stream from your library pretty brainlessly. Sure there are other options, but all of them are more complicated.

Hey! I some of us run Mint because we hope to know what we’re doing someday!

How do you think used cars exist if there aren’t people that buy new ones?

And… owning a home? Huh?

Sorry, I don’t mean to accuse you of anything. I should’ve made it more clear that most people just won’t try new things no matter how easy you make it for them. They will literally turn their brain off if it’s outside of their comfort zone no matter if it’s just the tiniest of steps.

Your mistake was telling them something scary and leaving, the very first pixel out of place and they gave up. People don’t want you to give them projects, they want you to fix their problems.

If it’s a system you’re sure of the use case then set it up to be a Windows clone like you planned and tell them you found a (locked down and lightweight) long service life distro based on Windows 8 or something. Yes, it’s a lie. Nobody will care as long as it works generally like they’re used to, I promise. But if you have to explain caveats to their normal workflow like you’re giving a tutorial then you might as well not bother.

We really need to stop throwing away useful terms and concepts because their progenitors don’t turn out to be role models. Knowledge doesn’t always come from perfect sources. “Tragedy of the Commons” has no basis in race as a concept as I understand it, I don’t see why the guy who coined the term being a racist POS means I should take a moral stance on it.

… but, you know, fuck that guy.

Exactly. Can’t pull blood from a stone.

Luigi had ‘em signing off on thousands of medical procedures they never would have otherwise because they were literally scared for their lives.

I guarantee you any one of the companies involved would’ve immediately traded that guy’s life for 200mil, and technically had been for years.

A dozen or so more incidents like this and maybe they’ll start to ken why things like unions and protestors were ultimately the workers being polite.

You know how many times I’ve tapped “bookmark this page” or the “tabs” button instead of the “Saved Bookmarks” button that I’m trying to hit?

Or the fact that I can’t open a bookmark from a “new” tab on mobile, I have to navigate to a random site first before I can access them (unless it’s a “pinned favorite” too).

I’m average. I will.

Quit thinking like everything has to be 100% successful the first time or it’s a failure. We have been propagandized and beaten down over the course of years to get where we are now, of course it’s going to take more than one try to get this thing together.

I’ve switched to a lot of foreign media tbh. Irish television is killing it right now for example.

I always wonder… what’s sort of big ideas do you have for mobilizing a nation of disparate people?

I doubt you’ve ever successfully wrangled 3 mates to get a pizza order together, much less a nationwide protest.

That sucks bro, sorry they did that lol.
