So I tried playing from Plexamp on my phone to my tv as airplay/plexshare. This kept the phone app alive so I could rate songs, but it didn’t work very well running in the background. Kept pausing/stuttering at first but eventually started working. 🤷‍♂️

.gov.uk actually exists. So yes, countries outside of the US use .gov.

https://legislation.gov.uk

.gov (.gov.us) is used in the US to distinguish between commercial sites and sites run by state, federal, and local government institutions. It helps cut down on fraud. There are a few fucked up government sites in some states that use.com because ICANN isn’t doing their fucking job.

There’s also .mil for military sites. And .net for internet service providers. These were the original oldie domains. I’m not opppsed to adding .blog to the list, but I despise all of these confusing random cash grab domains that ICANN approves these days. “.social” is really just an org, and “.biz” is really just a com.

How about we just go back to .edu .gov .com .org?

Hmmm. His appearances at Trump rallies are starting to make a little more sense.

Because he can. His supporters eat it up, and the press doesn’t fact check him nearly enough (or to his face).

So many Emmys deserved for this show. Costumes. Sets. Actors. Great stuff.

Proliferation of bots ≠ popular.

If that’s the case, then why does the wireless keyboard have the port on the back?

Most computers go into a deep power saving mode when they aren’t in use. Far less than a light bulb or power brick.

I was pleasantly surprised by the two characters who showed up in live action on Strange New Worlds. I’d love to see them find a new home there or on another live action series.

This isn’t oniony. It happens all the time. The ongoing theory is that it’s done to cover top secret expenditures.

“640k is enough for anyone.”

The military had a similar problem with fitness apps for a while.

I was convinced this was satire until I followed the link in the story for the Cybertruck forum where this was actually discussed.🤦‍♂️

See also first sale doctrine:

“Lending of physical books held by the library is permitted under the first sale doctrine. In other instances, such as making copies of articles and checking them out to students, libraries may rely on fair use to justify course reserves. A recent landmark case related to electronic reserves is Cambridge v. Patton, in which a group of publishers sued Georgia State University for their liberal e-reserves policy. The courts held GSU to be the prevailing party, finding fair use in the majority of alleged infringements”

If he’s not on anyone’s payroll, how does he afford Falcon suit maintenance and fuel? Or plane tickets to all these exotic locations where he’s fighting crime? Dude needs some endorsement deals.

“Fair Use” is a thing. Someone needs to go back to law school.
