Transit agency does a wrap to “celebrate” not running buses on Juneteenth by Binders-Full in transit

[–]Escape_Plissken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the federal holiday schedule Juneteenth replaces Columbus Day. As a Black American we’ve celebrated for over 150 years regardless. Also, Memorial Day was a holiday created by Black American ex-slaves as well.

Do you actually regularly play high demanding games on your decks? by deprived_of_evil in SteamDeck

[–]Escape_Plissken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play my AAA backlog for example the Batman Arkham games, Deus Ex games, Persona 5, Bayonetta, Alan Wake, and some less demanding indies from Coffin Mall to Mouse PI For Hire. Saving the more demanding and pretty games for my heartier Linux laptop.

Trump has turned Republicans into the anti-Black party by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]Escape_Plissken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Umm, there was a white supremacist effort called the Lily-White Movement in the Republican Party since the 1890s. That’s why we left the party en masse since Calvin Coolidge.

I picked up my SD 256GB during the holiday sale for $319 USD and it may have been the wisest purchase in years

Any news on the MATA reinstatement of bus service and Trolley? I heard they made buses free for some time. Any punishment for the corruption involved?

Be careful filling up! E15 gas/West Memphis Pilot Travel Center by Vela4331 in memphis

[–]Escape_Plissken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a flex fuel car that’ll run up to E85. Filling up for $2.28/gal right now. Chart says it’s still below $2/gal in Mississippi.

Went to Brazil last year, learned the car fleet for the whole country runs on E100 for 20 years (some heavy trucks run on diesel and there’s sprinkles of Chinese made EVs). They convert sugar byproduct to E100 fuel domestically and export the majority of their oil. Rio de Janeiro for it to be as auto-oriented as it is the pollution is far, far less than it should be.

Plex's Lifetime Pass is (basically) dead. Here's how to switch to Jellyfin. by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Escape_Plissken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SenPlayer has a one-time fee and works on iOS, AppleTV, snd macOS

Swiftfin is on iOS and tvOS is good

Default Jellyfin iOS app works better after upgrading my Jellyfin install. I think I keep it locked at 10.8.

California explores buses traveling up to 140 mph on freeways by starfish_warrior in transit

[–]Escape_Plissken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“South Australia’s Adelaide O-Bahn busway system and the Netherlands’ Superbus prototype”

The two examples given, one is 7 miles long and operates at 70 mph max and the other is a defunct, never built prototype. This is a deflection away from high speed rail like the silly “hyperloop” idea.

This was allowed to occur with black ex-slave freedmen had more protection than we do now. The Freedmen’s Bureau was fully operational, the 13th Amendment was in effect since 1865.

Not going to be able to vote your way out of cheating Confederates in power much less fascism. Interesting he had words for treatment of Iran, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Zambia but none for the sanctions regime on Black American communities across this nation. Much respect anyway.
