Oh yeah, to be clear I don’t think Freakonomics is worth listening to, but trying to draw a link between the views of a single host and community funded media at large is not honest.

Attempting to discredit trusted orgs like NPR is a long beloved conservative tactic

You’re falsely linking two different things, Freakonomics never connected the superpredator myth to abortion, just crime.

It’s also disingenuous to imply that Stephen Dubner (a libertarian) could speak for the views of every single NPR affiliate. It doesn’t work that way.

I want the SFA cast to be making Star Trek movies as late into their careers as the TOS cast was

I watched the Price is Right! It was actually really fun and they had a lot more little Trek details than I would have suspected.

I’m a crypto-Trekkie; if you walked into my home and really looked closely you’d only see multiple starship models, action figures shirts, lego sets and a handful of props. Not a single ceramic stoneware baking dish (unless we’re counting mugs and decorative plates in which case there are dozens).

I spent my retirement to buy five as an investment

I kinda love the glove too

“Astroturfed” implies an appearance of a grassroots campaign, here the dev has connections to wealthy people who give him money, that’s really all there is to it.

Removed by mod

I think the dev just has connections and the people donating don’t understand what they’re giving to.

Yeah but even then, it’s an extremely niche distro and 99.9% of Linux users using a password manager service are using bitwarden/vaultwarden. It just doesn’t make sense.

That stood out to me too. It comes preinstalled with Omarchy so thats something but also Omarchy has like, a thousand daily active users so even that doesn’t sit right.

Stop messaging me

“I’m harassing you for different reasons than the Kiwi Farms people are” is not the moral high ground you think it is.

You Kiwi Farms freaks need to update your wiki because /u/AdmiralPartick is deleted long ago. This is the main account, not an alt.

Hopefully your admin won’t like it either but you don’t know until you ask

I think the newer raspberry Pis have CEC so if someone goes that route they wouldn’t even need a second remote

Edit: or just get a CEC adapter probably

I haven’t tested it but Plasma Bigscreen has apparently made a lot of progress, too.
