Thanks for this.

I’m starting to get worried about how much AI slop is being pushed on top of the venerable arr stack. A few months ago I was evaluating a music solution, and came across a promising solution called Soulsync, only to learn it was vibe coded. Since that fiasco, it looks like there is a new one called Aurral 2.0 with the same issue.

Its a shame since the arr developers are real deal.

I once picked up some hitchhikers near Saint Louis. They needed help getting to Colorado where apparently their brother had started having some success panning for gold.

Do you at least harbor some amount of disappointment for how little China has distanced themselves from “Israel”?

I’m not going to sit here and say China should start deploying troops to Tel Aviv, but isn’t it fair to be a little disappointed with how little they’ve browbeaten “Israel”?

On the other hand, I would have absolutely no rebuttal if you say something like “its not our place (as members of the Imperial core), to be disappointed in a nation that doesn’t want to clean up a mess that we created”. I could potentially see the orientalism in this perspective.

Or, maybe you reject the entire premise and DO think that China has been effectively browbeating “Israel”?

Honest questions.

All the Palestinian children saved by your masterful gambit to vote for a wildly unpopular genocider salute you, sir.

I will sacrifice as many Palestinian children as it takes to potentially have the hope to start thinking about a system that aims to quell fascism.

FTFY

I use jellyfin with the shield tv (tube version) w/ an lg g1 oled. No compatibility issues for all my high bitrate, dolby vision, dolby 7.1 files. However, performance of this old device is starting to get bad. Requires an occasional reset.

Will you be voting for Ted Cruz, or will you allow Mecha Hitler to take power?

Oh hey, I remember you. You’re the one who was equating anti-capitalism with being tankie.

Not beating the toothless lib allegations…

Visit .world before any major Western election and browse by Local (its default) and you will easily see: .world will sell out as many Palestinians as it takes to buy political time in hopes of a blue wave that is definitely going fix everything and bring America™ back to its wholesome big chungus status.

Whereas ML does not want to carry out genocide to buy time for pointless political waffling, go figure.

The source for this article was nothing other than defector testimony and references to Radio Free Asia.

The veracity of a news piece is only as good as the veracity of its weakest source. If you have a news story about dental work that seems legit, but then it starts referencing Chip Skylark, your alarm bells should start going off.

Why do North Korean defector testimonies so often fall apart? Cash incentives and the western media’s endless appetite for shocking stories encourage refugees to exaggerate

Dishwasher, like most appliances, are getting too smart.

Many Bosch recommendations here, but beware that they are not above locking specific dishwasher features behind an app.

I won’t connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud - Mar 24, 2025

My honest advice is to go with the absolute simplest one you can find. I have a cheapo “Edgestar” washer from China that works without a hitch. It has 4 buttons. It has no wifi. It has a 3x 7-segment displays for communicating everything.

Dishwashers have been around, and mostly unchanged, for something like 120 years. No amount of fancy silicone trays, wash modes, microcontrollers, wifi, alerts, error modes, etc… can convince me that modern companies have actually thought of anything new in this space.

This turned into a rant.

TLDR: a cheap one

Racism and ableism are never okay. Period.

Pretty sus that you’re arguing in favor of white people being able to say the N word. You’re probably a racist.

… because all insulting stereotypes are unfair.

Wrong. The correct answer was “because dropping N bombs is racist”

• Dunking on vulnerable drug addicts / thinly-veiled racism

“silly stereotype”

• saying cracker

“Hey, stop throwing around slurs!”

Ah, so youre just one of those “reverse racism” types. If you seriously get all flustered about “slurs” when the word “cracker” comes up, I think we all know what side you’re on.

Why wouldnt that be fair?

Do you think it would be fair for some Greenland crackers to start calling Americans N bombs?

Dunking on drug addicts: le epic own.

I’m sorry, the files will come out, there will be an uprising and he will be removed. And that will only be the start. You can screenshot your comment to show to your grandkids.

how’s that working out for you?

Lmao, OP, I am once again asking you to drop evidence of a Uyghur grnocide that does not immediately recycle Radio Free Asia or Adrien Zenz talking points.

If you actually read this “new” report, youll find there is very little new content - aside from whatever new pieces RFA has put out this year.

At this point, you can look at the sources for this “new” article and notice it leans HEAVILY on another report from Rian Thum

Eight Years On, China’s Repression of the Uyghurs Remains Dire: How China’s Policies in the Uyghur Region Have and Have Not Changed,”

And what happens if we look at this reports references?

Just more circular references to Zenz.

(This one is especially funny, because in the intro, they talk all high and mighty about how their ONLY sources are primary Chinese documents from the state, or leaks from the state. And in the footnote, they basically say “yeah we cant read this, so see what our buddy Zenz had to say about it” despite the fact that that Zenz doesnt speak Chinese. The same Zenz who says Hitler had good ideas on population control, by the way)

This OP is draped in congressional language, and its got the length to boot… But this is not a new report. This is not even an investigation. This is essentially the US government dropping a summary of all of their new RFA pieces that have dropped this year. I encourage anyone lookin at these reports to be critical of RFA and Zenz. Having an ounce of skepticism will immediately reveal that the vast majority of the times, these China hit pieces on Uyghurs are just circular references of Zenz and RFA.
