If you want to support a creator, give them a quarter and block the ads. Seriously. That quarter is worth more than any ad revenue they will ever get from you watching their videos.

Most democrats at the federal level are complicit in a lot of what’s going on, including Musk’s DOGE treasury crap (crimes?) despite him not being a government employee or confirmed by the senate. Hell, most congressional democrats JUST in the last year voted for the legislation that enables ICE to indefinitely detain any suspected immigrant suspected of committing any crime. No due process. No actual crime needed.

Screw voting for democrats. Democrats voted to let the government round up the people I love to be deported or tortured. If we still have the power to vote, vote for leftists. Or vote for left-of-average-democrat people like Bernie.

This might work if all major news networks and social media weren’t propaganda machines of the maga regime. The administration will blame immigrants or democrats or trans people for every hardship that republican voters experience.

As is tradition.

Also the timeline usually matters. Mod methods can change as game patches are released. Mods can have mod patches. Mods can be deprecated for new mods or mod methods. Mods can have other dependencies. Install order sometimes matters.

I think OP is right; mods can be messy, complicated, and a lot of work.

If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn’t have Trump as president.

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. Labor laws in China are shit. A ton of people there work way more than 40 hours a week for less money than US Americans get, live on company “campuses”, and have suicide nets.

Blue Harvest for Mac will continually clean your removable drives of these files.

I encourage you to take a college course from a non-religious university that covers any of the above subjects.

The Sound Guys do a good job of breaking down LDAC, however the main point of criticism I have about the article is that they say that LDAC isn’t great because most smartphones don’t auto-choose the highest 990 bitrate. That doesn’t seem like an LDAC problem, that seems like a phone problem. My phone is admittedly a Sony, but it always chooses the highest bitrate first. There’s even a setting to force it to use 990.

The other criticism I have is that the sound guys kind of overlook the fact that, when your phone is in your pocket, it’s close enough to the headphones that you’ll almost always get the 990 bitrate. And the sound quality at 990 is fantastic. I cannot tell a difference between it and a wired connection for CD-quality FLACs. Even the 660 stepdown bitrate of the LDAC codec is really good.

We have lost our rights, had our rights restricted, or have had our rights routinely violated on the following issues:

• bodily autonomy – abortion

• unreasonable search and seizure – the federal government (FBI, NSA) digitally track everyone. Cops can legally take your money and property without cause or due process. Cops selectively enforce laws. State attorneys general selectively enforce laws. The TSA (airport security) is arguably unconstitutional.

• torture and indefinitely imprisoning people without charging them with a crime.

• trans people’s right to bodily autonomy, freedom of liberty, equal rights, equal access to healthcare, etc. Florida is forcibly putting trans inmates in with inmates of the opposite-gender and forcing trans people into conversion therapy. Trans people are facing widespread persecution and legislative genocide, depending on the US state. States are trying to make being trans a crime by calling them “sexually obscene”. I fully expect the federal government will try to do the same, as it’s part of the Project 2025 playbook.

• our court system is overall corrupt and corrupt judges do not rule based on facts, science, what the law says, what is morally right, or what is best for the people.

• the right to a speedy trial is being violated. The right to have a public defender adequately represent you when accused of a crime is being abused and violated.

• slave labor is allowed and legal in this country. Prison inmates are allowed daily temporary release to work for private companies but then the prisons and government steal most of their earnings.

• our human right to a clean environment is being violated. Our water, air, and land is being polluted with a lack of regulation and oversight.

• rights of immigrants, asylum seekers, and others is routinely violated and now, once again, millions of people are being threatened with deportation.

• black people have never had equal rights in this country. I can’t even begin to list the extent of their oppression here. Racism is on the rise politically now too.

I could keep listing points for hours, if not days.

That interview on Jimmy Kimmel has an obvious edit shortly after Bill says “free luigi!”. I’m not sure if the producers of the show cut the crowd reaction or something else Bill said, but something was definitely cut out.
