They died for nothing. Such senseless loss.

To the goons running the show, that’s probably seen as a small number. From Wikipedia:

Russia has an estimated population of 146.0 million as of 1 January 2025, down from 147.2 million recorded in the 2021 census. It is the most populous country in Europe, and the ninth-most populous country in the world.

Oh, that’s an idea. I don’t know about in a moneyless future society, but closer to home I can imagine a story full of pathos where someone trapped in hard times sets themselves up for assimilation. It could go so many ways from there.

Grok/xAI is also involved with CSAM production.

Venus. There are some fascinating photos.

This is basic human decency. Well done.

That’s not all they cooperate on

Please Apple, just get rid of the blobs around every toolbar item in applications like Finder. It’s like some kind of office prank.

Oh, sorry for misquoting you. It wanst intentional. I get you now.

Being “good with it” doesn’t negate the overwhelming harms it causes. Those harms are part of the slop: environmental slop, work environment slop, societal degradation slop.

And in the USA, most Zionists are not even Jewish.

That said, in 2024 I looked at stats for attitudes among Jewish people in the UK and USA. Majority of them view Israel positively and feel an attachment to it.

People with Covid report losing their sense of taste. Happened to me when I had it. I took the opportunity to include more healthy things in my diet that I don’t normally like the taste of. It wasn’t 100% loss of taste, but it’s bizarre to eat a square of chocolate and have no indication that that’s what I’m eating.

Haha, fair enough! :) It is labyrinthine. I’m not sure how I got it working, and I still don’t know how it works (I don’t know what I have).

I’m happy to share what I have if there’s a section you’d like to see. Though I imagine it’s the relationships between the parts that we’re both missing.

I think i get you. But then doesnt that extend to other senses? We don’t expereince the real vacuum of deafness, but rather the sound of silence.

I wear a sleep mask at night. If you’re curious what it’s like to have no vision at all, try it. I couldn’t even make it to the bathroom next door with it on.

Is it possible to take on the USA without taking on Israel, Russia, et al? They’re practically one at this stage.

It’s made shopping more expensive, and there are simply no EU alternatives depending on what you’re buying. But buying from a nation that is the world capital of human trafficking, slavery, forced labour and abuses of human rights isn’t right either. Better to be inconvenienced than participate.

Thanks again, I’ve given that a try. Two minutes before my show is scheduled, I heard the disks spinning up, but nothing showed at the m3u link http://localhost:8409/iptv/channels.m3u

I didn’t make a new playout, but I did refresh it. I’ll try with a new playout and if that doesn’t work I’ll just wait until yourself or someone else figures it out.

Part of the problem is definitely settings not being properly saved at times, but at this stage I think I can rule that out.

Edit: oh, the episode at 7:30 played and startled me 😄

Now I just need to get this to happen on the correct days.

I appreciate that. This does look like good news!

Possibly. I use Firefox focus with Safari to block content. Odd that it’s never happened before though. I’ve had this setup for several years now.

Edit: it works fine on my desktop!

If you get around to it, great. In the mean-time I’ll try your suggestion. Thanks, I appreciate the help!

It’s so easy in a calendar application to set up recurring events. I think the UI could definitely be rethought - at least for my use case.
