  • Yeah, it took a plague, real shit winter, famine, mass migration invasions and many civil wars. US has a long way to go to reach that point.

    Historians might look at this point in time and say “Trump’s second presidency severely weakened the dollar. This had the knock on effects to make borrowing more expensive which made it harder to maintain their public expenses. Their issue was that the army always eats first, the people get the rest. No bread and games was ultimately the downfall.”


  • Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

    1. Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
    2. Make IP dictionary to have people type “cat mug door end” which pings the server with a login from an IP.
    3. Show QR code.
    4. Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

    It’s passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

    It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.






  • I’m with you that the title and ranking of US as #10 is wrong. The graph is still just a graph of a select few countries with a large population as an illustration.

    The way OP presented it is misleading as if those are the top ranking countries and that this is the entirety of their development aid. The article is specifically for aid provided by the state for DAC/OECD members which excludes private aid where it doesn’t contain ranking and only contains a short list of countries.

    The post is misleading, the Wikipedia isn’t.










  • I blame capitalism for this one. Misinformation and lobbying is very profitable. Using prior knowledge of what laws are coming into effect is also very profitable. Retiring and becoming a lobbyists is also.

    In the US hard facts have become debatable and there’s a shitty system that massively benefits two political parties.

    I don’t necessarily blame the people since the system is rigged against people’s interest. They get mad and vote anti-establishment which is still very much the establishment.
