  • Why isn’t there a similar service for TV and movies?

    Because Steve Jobs died before he could hypnotize the executives into do it.

    Only half kidding, people forget that’s how we got all the music labels together, it was Apple iTunes Store which later became streaming.

    There were a few weird awkward music stores but Apple did it better and this was early 2000’s when their brand was barely recovering from near bankruptcy.

    Netflix streaming didn’t launch until 2007 and didn’t really take off until 2011, the same year Jobs died.

    Netflix was the only one that was positioned to do it but they couldn’t pull it together because they didn’t have the reality distortion field that Jobs had. Netflix had to push into original programming instead to survive and the brand has long since enshittified.

    Can’t help but wonder if whatever pitch Jobs used to sell record labels couldn’t have been reworked to convince the movie studios.




  • You use(d) Facebook to stay connected. I use Facebook (with any empty profile) to engage/troll Trump supports. We are not the same.

    But seriously, it’s interesting to use it to delve into the right wing zeitgeist.

    For example, do not believe the narrative that they are upset about the Epstein list. They’ve been given marching orders to blame it on Biden “because if there was something there why didn’t Biden release it” and “a liberal just withheld the grand jury testimony, so it’s their fault” – don’t bother with the reality or nuance around of any of this, it doesn’t matter to them. They are a cult.

    These are the type of people who would dismiss their own child coming forward with moleststion claims and allowing the abuse to continue. I am not exaggerating here. I had one demand physical evidence of Trump raping children; literally demand child porn be distrusted to them before they’ll be convinced. reshift the goalpost.



  • No. Democracy has been redefined to be that but the orignal definition is direct voting on issues. Some state have this via voter initiatives.

    We have the technology to create a democracy and there is no reason to muddle and gaslight ourselves into thinking a representative system is the same thing.

    We need to stop reject the notion that it’s necessary because people don’t have the time to understand the bills. We have plenty of evidence they our representatives don’t bother understanding it because their incentives are not aligned with needing to understand it. They just carve themselves out of, as the legislation being discussed here does.

    No. You cannot and will not shame me for something that is not shame worthy. Shame on you for trying.No good intuitive way to set defaults for ALL folders at once

    You should be extra ashamed for not being ashamed and additionally shamed for taking this so seriously that you feel it necessary to attempt to shame someone who cheekily said you should be ashamed.

    Do tell oh wise one. I’ve been using MacOS for over 15 years, and would love to learn the ways of a master such as yourself

    Let me ChatGPT that for you without giving a shit how this formats, followed by more shame for relaxing your struggle with things because you lack the gumption to figure these things out in your own despite 15 years of use.

    1. Open a Finder Window

    Pick any folder (usually your Home folder is a good starting point).

    1. Set the View You Want • Choose your preferred view style: • Icons: ⌘1 • List: ⌘2 • Columns: ⌘3 • Gallery: ⌘4

    Then adjust things like: • Column widths • Sorting / Arrange by • Sidebar visibility • Preview pane visibility

    1. Apply with “Show View Options”
      1. With the folder open, press ⌘J (or go to View → Show View Options).
      2. At the bottom of the panel, you’ll see: • Use as Defaults (for List, Icon, or Gallery views) • Always open in … view
      3. Click Use as Defaults → this sets your chosen view/layout for all folders of that type.

    Some of the rural people I know are extended family and if I take them at face value what they are essentially explaining sounds like some yet to be undefined personality disorder.

    They all circle around a set of claims that amount to an inability to adhere to basic social skills that even the most neurodivergent person manages to perform.


  • Their grandchildren will be pissing on their graves over it.

    I often wonder what files may outlive me.

    People have kept old physical remnants. There are obviously famous examples but there are far more mediocre examples.

    All the unique content I’ve created fits on a modestly sized hard drive so keeping it around would be trivial compared to maintaining all those physical remnants.
