41·13 days agoI don’t know if this would be possible given the bounty’s requirements.
Let’s say you come up with some new firmware for the fridge that replaces all the hostnames on the advertising calls with ‘localhost’. Great. But if all other features on the device need to keep functioning, including any phone-home firmware update functionality, the fridge will re-enshitify itself on its next update. It either needs new fridge hardware (not allowed in the bounty requirements) or some kind of network container (like pi-hole, also not allowed).
So the entire bounty is an exercise in futility. But… perhaps that’s the point.
This is a demonstration of why the law, as written, is fucked and needs to be changed. I think that may be the main point.
2·17 days agoI’ve only seen the animated series, so that.
Barakamon (2014)
After torpedoing his career, a young, lonely calligrapher gets sent to a remote island community where he befriends the local townsfolk and a precocious child. Its quite lovely and I think you’ll like it a lot.
And it looks like someone has put the entire series, with English subtitles, up on YouTube:
I’ll admit that this does sound kind of like a joke suggestion, but I’m serious, after a hard day, sit down, suck up your pride and put an episode or two of Bluey on. It’s a warm blanket on a cold day.

I swear I’ve seen it everywhere for the last 15 years.

3·1 month agoThe Egyptian is a neat space, but it always seemed like it was held together with spit and duct tape. The seats were uncomfortable and the sound was terrible. It needed a pretty massive cash infusion to bring the place up to being just on-par with other venues in town.
Capitol Hill can certainly support a first-run theater, but if one were to be designed today, I really don’t think it would look like a single-screen 550+ seat auditorium.

Some things that I mentioned in the chat (that are now probably lost to the ages):
- What I really want to hear is each candidate’s plan for when the federal government decides to deploy their storm troopers on our streets, yanking people off the streets and ransacking apartment buildings without warrants (like they did yesterday in Chicago). It’s going to happen, and it’ll be on the next mayor’s watch. Which candidate will approach that problem with the most vulnerable residents in mind, and which candidate will fall over themselves to sell out anyone they can to protect their richest constituents?
- Our “homelessness” problem is really a drug abuse and mental health problem. Nobody would care if there were homeless people living in tents that cleaned up their trash, didn’t shit on the ground and weren’t wandering around high as fuck. It’s those specific behaviors that people hate to see. You don’t address those behaviors by just housing people. The DESC’s model is a good one: zero barrier supportive housing with on-site medical and psychiatric care to help these folks get their shit together. It’s great and it works! Unfortunately, everywhere the DESC sets up shop sees a spike in social problems: crime, drug use, shady characters loitering (ie: selling drugs to people in recovery), traffic accidents and fatalities from people wandering in the streets, etc. And that sucks because it makes residents not want DESC facilities around. I’d like to see that issue talked about in detail rather than platitudes about homelessness and drug use making people sad.
- Office vacancies are high because property owners refuse to lower rents. They’d rather leave buildings empty. The city decays as it’s starved of people and tax revenue. The answer isn’t to squeeze remaining employers with taxes, but to disincentivize stingy property owners from hanging onto vacant properties. Rent it, sell it or get fined. What’s wrong with that strategy?
- Harrell claims to know how to run a police department and that Wilson doesn’t. If he’s running it so well, why is there a staffing shortage? Why did Find It Fix decide to stop accepting parking reports? (spoiler: it was too much police work that they didn’t feel like doing.) Let Wilson give it a spin. I wonder if she’s got the fight in her to call out SPOG for being the whiny babies that they are.
Degenerates only want one thing and it’s disgusting fucking.

Most of it was available through the Cascade PBS website (cascadepbs.org).
As for their stories, check out this one where they partnered with KNKX to investigate how WA state officials were using Chat GPT to do their jobs by getting their prompts and results through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests:
It’s a fascinating bit of journalism that network news wasn’t going to do. This is the kind of reporting that’s going away.

Time, however, is legit. Along with emotion. Maybe you could call the 6th sense cognition?
I have a song for you:
I really would like to see a fully tally of the write-in results, though I can understand why those would remain hidden unless they reached some minimum threshold.
