Demonstrating the need for jail breaking firmware for smart TVs (and repealing the DMCA anti-circumvention clause that enforces Tivoization) in two different ways at once:

1. You can’t use ethernet-ovet-HDMI on your smart TV because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.
2. You only care about the feature in the first place because you don’t have enough control over it even though it’s running Linux.

Obligatory Quark rant

Oh, the regulatory authority of the agency that has no budget? The one that isn’t supposed to be working because the government is shut down? The one that can’t do its job because the Republicans won’t let it? That’s the one that’s mysteriously somehow going to enforce its regulations the opposite of how they were intended, to harm the public instead of helping it?

I literally exclaimed that aloud to myself upon reading the headline.

The buried lede is that he entered the vegetative state while in ICE custody. What did they do to him to cause the “unspecified psychosis?”

Which is incredibly ironic for a country founded by terrorists (from the British perspective) who engaged in exactly that coercion.

To be fair, Obama’s pick fucking sucked and also helped fuck over democracy by slow-walking Trump’s prosecution.

That’s another example of what I was saying the other day, about how it’s not so much that Obama was fucking up at being progressive, but instead that he was succeeding at being neoliberal controlled opposition.

Seriously, though, it’s infuriating how the fascists always get the advantage of the simple sound bite.

I feel like you don’t know who Steven Miller is. Think Heinrich Himmler.

Maybe when the President isn’t a geriatric dementia patient, but in this case I think Steven Miller is directing policy more than Trump is.

Between this and another comment on the same topic in another thread, I get the impression you think Obama is progressive and failed to appoint a progressive DNC chair out of ignorance. Have you considered the possibility that he’s actually neoliberal and refused power to progressives on purpose?

For now, at least, I think it’s that they don’t want to be Kirked. Trump gets SS protection, but they don’t, and I’m honestly a little surprised nobody took a shot at the power behind the throne when they had the chance.

Except that the bureaucrats actually moving the money are still under Trump’s control, and are perfectly capable of slow-walking the implementation of the judge’s order, if not ignoring it entirely.

The judge’s order says that the money is supposed to go out. In the current atmosphere of unchecked corruption and tyranny, that is far from a guarantee that it actually will.

We already had the “official acts” SCOTUS ruling instead.

If all you want is file sharing, like the blog post author wants, I don’t understand what’s wrong with something like a plain old SFTP server.

The weaker (permissive instead of copyleft) license alone is a reason to be suspicious of both the project and OP. At this point, it’s just telegraphing plans to eventually go proprietary and enshittify.

If Trump were actually illiterate, why would he keep a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed?

Checkmate, liberal!

Inequality right now is worse than it was in the Gilded Age.

Yet another thing that sucks about fascist corruption: you can’t even trust the good things the regime does to (a) be real and (b) not have some ulterior motive.
