Yeah, I’m not about to defend Samsung or their app distribution by any means, I just know they had the Plex app when I needed it.
Thanks for the heads up on Roku though, I appreciate it!

Is that on an Onn TV? I might have to go check it out again. Thanks!
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 1 week ago:
Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

TIL… Thank you, kind stranger, for making me curious enough to look further
Researchers have determined that a fugu’s tetrodotoxin comes from eating other animals infested with tetrodotoxin-laden bacteria, to which the fish develops insensitivity over time.[10] Whether tetrodotoxin is sequestered from or produced by symbiotic bacteria is still debated.[11] As such, efforts have been made in research and aquaculture to allow farmers to produce safe fugu. Farmers now produce poison-free fugu by keeping the fish away from the bacteria – see § Aquaculture below.[10]
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 3 weeks ago:
Ok, sorry, I read it differently when I first commented. Asking for proof of eligibility to work in the US with a reasonable timeline to furnish documents definitely seems like it makes sense like others said, but I’ll admit this isn’t my area of expertise by a long shot in terms of hiring protocols and my initial comment was from entirely the wrong perspective to address your dilemma.

“May not”?? What is that even supposed to mean? Were they Applying While Brown or something? Talking with an accent?
It sounds an awful lot like this isn’t something to stick your nose in and you should do your job, to me.

It might just be because it’s spring in the northern hemisphere but I got to thinking earlier, this world is a pretty cool place. Taking a walk in the woods and breathing the fresh air, getting lost in a book, spending an afternoon at the beach, exploring a city on foot… there are a lot of things to look forward to. Even the simple things, like a nice stretch after waking up. You know?

We’re already well-started down this path with brown people that we aren’t at war with. The group of undesirables must constantly expand under fascist leadership. To answer you succinctly: incredibly likely, perhaps even a near certainty

- Comment on Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? 2 months ago:
I’ve been mostly using Nginx Proxy Manager, but I recently set up Bunkerweb as a WAF for a couple of public services I’m hosting and I kind of like it. It does reverse proxy along with a bunch of other things (bad behavior blocking, geographic blocking, SSL cert handling, it does a lot).
Mentioning it because I didn’t see any other mention of it yet.
NPM is easy to use. Caddy sounds like something I’d like to try too now.
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 3 months ago:
It’s buttons you click on, arranged in a grid. You can color them based on grouping. I know you can have some marked “bookmarked” and some that aren’t, and then you’ll only see the bookmarked tabs on your Dashboard’s main listing. I’m actually not sure if there are further ways to delve into grouping. I certainly never bothered. Basic, like I said, lol
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 3 months ago:
I’m super basic when it comes to dashboard. Spinning up a Heimdall docker container is so insanely easy and it lets me make nice looking links to all my services. Of all the things I’ve spent energy to try and learn to be better at, my dashboard has never been one and maybe it’s time to revisit… But man, it’s just a really quick compose file and one command and it’s there.

And the user experience I should expect depends on their stupid hierarchy for reasons I should care about, I’m sure, but still I find myself not. Choosing to enshittify is a choice. Choosing a business model that depends on coercion into an ecosystem that will become enshittified after accumulating a critical mass is another, even more evil choice. Doing it while those cheering loudest are the ones being fucked hardest (I mean, there’s still a “certain line” between how badly “certain groups” are discriminated against, but let’s keep things broad here because we all know the in-group is going to shrink… you know the poem, those that don’t speak up and all that) is yet another choice and one that I’m not willing to join. Doing it while playing monopolistic games arguably even more strongly than Microsoft did when it got hit with a Nynex-level antitrust suit is a step even further down the fuck-me-brick road. The list goes on. Have you met Android??? Google’s motto used to be Don’t Be Evil. Yeah, I’m at least that old. Fight me.

According to the National Archives, it seems like succession might not necessarily apply and would likely be argued over by lawyers should he die before the Electoral College meets. I’ll paste their text below, and I pasted the link in a separate answer
What happens if a candidate dies or becomes incapacitated?
There is no Federally-required process to follow if a candidate who is projected to receive electoral votes dies or becomes incapacitated between the general election and the meeting of electors. However, individual States may have their own requirements that govern how electors must vote at the meeting of the electors. In 1872, when Horace Greeley passed away between Election Day and the meeting of electors, the electors who were slated to vote for Greeley voted for various candidates, including Greeley. The votes cast for Greeley were not counted due to a House resolution passed regarding the matter. See the full Electoral College vote counts for President and Vice President in the 1872 election.
We don’t know what would happen if a candidate who, dies after or becomes incapacitated between the meeting of electors and the counting of electoral votes in Congress.
The Constitution is silent on whether this candidate meets the definition of “President elect” or “Vice President elect.” If the candidate with a majority of the electoral votes is considered “President elect” before the counting of electoral votes in Congress, §3 of the 20th Amendment applies. That section states that the Vice President elect will become President if the President-elect dies or becomes incapacitated.
If a winning Presidential candidate dies or becomes incapacitated between the counting of electoral votes in the Congress and the inauguration, the Vice President-elect becomes President, according to §3 of the 20th Amendment.

Strangely, it sort of depends on when. If he dies before the EC meets, it’s up for lawyers to argue from my reading of the text.
