  • Cheese and cold cuts (maybe besides chicken/turkey cuts, but especially anything salami or sausage related) I would argue are not healthy. Better than the worst of the worst like ice cream, desserts, and candy, but it is just saturated fan + saturated fat + a small amount of protein, zero fiber, and not many vitamins or minerals.

    Very tasty, and fine to snack on in small amounts, but literally any edible plant, nut, fruit, yogurt, legume, or even things like granola or protein bars have much more nutritional content.







  • Except the 51% owner of the block chain can overwrite the ledger and billionaires and hostile governments have all of the computers to do it. This has already happened multiple times with smaller coins IIRC.

    Block chain is essentially just the techbro version of capitalism (not an alternative, a recreation). If there are distributed companies and enough competition, the system works pretty well, but when everything centralizes as has inevitably happened everywhere, the rules all get thrown away.






  • So instead everyone got genocide x2, shortly maybe will be x3 of oil companies pull a Venezuelan banana republic: electric boogaloo, and a significantly worse economy with not only no reforms, but significant change in the opposite direction, siphoning orders of magnitude more money away from the working class than the status quo.

    Plus you get the dissolution of unions and stripping workers of any power they have.

    Plus you get out-in-the-open media centralization to become out and out propaganda machines bought and paid for by corruption and dissolution of the last remnents of independent media.

    Plus you get kidnapping citizens in the streets by faceless, nameless, badgeless enforcers.

    Plus you get government-sponsored lynchings

    Plus you get, nationwide, women getting sick, hurt, and dying because doctors aren’t allowed to treat them anymore

    Plus you get multiple very corrupt white collar criminals set completely free with no consequences

    Plus you get the near-total neutering of all health and disease research and public health policies

    Plus you get the complete decimation of US aid to countries in need that was not through on an imperialist military

    Plus you get people dying of hunger and homeless people and immigrants being arrested and used for slave labor.

    Plus you get people who aren’t fascists labelled as terrorist groups, arrested, and threatened

    Plus you get persecution of transgender people

    Plus you get pedophile government oligarchs literally out in the open human trafficking instead of behind closed doors.

    Great trade off there. You guys really sent the correct message and voted to make the world a better place.







  • Honestly as much as I hate google, Chromecast has been a pretty flawless jellyfin experience.

    4k AV1 support (though I only have a 720p TV, so I got the full HD version), and the jellyfin client is one of the best and most updated.

    In the 5 year future I want to be able to have a cheap N100 box (pis are too expensive and under powered in video, maybe the new RISCV SBUs will beef up decoding and be perfect for that a few revisions later) and then throw Plasma Bigscreen on it when it matures and have a fully FOSS streamer, but that won’t work well now.
