#stupid

#xbox remote play was removed from the iOS apps and moved to a web-only experience. I have #feelings, and after an hour trying to get it to work, an #engineering opinion.

This is completely #stupid since the web app now has to talk to my Xbox behind my router, instead of a direct LAN connection - which we relied upon to keep the TV free, not play from outside the house.

And guess what, right now nothing works except a third-party streaming app - which, of course, is designed to use the LAN.

Why Stupidity Is More Dangerous Than Evil via Lifehacker [Shared]

Dietrich Bonhoeffer knew more than you or I are likely to ever know about about the line between stupidity and outright evil. The Lutheran pastor and theologian had a front row seat as he watched the Nazis—history’s evilest stupid people (or stupidest evil people)—ascend to power and come to rule through terror during the 1930s and ‘40s.

In a letter to his friends, family, and followers written while he awaited execution at Flossenbürg concentration camp for his role in the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt on Adolph Hitler, Bonhoeffer detailed his thoughts on the root cause of the moral and intellectual infection that resulted in the Third Reich. His conclusion: It’s the stupidity, stupid.

I just had one of those random but not-so-random memory moments:

Does anyone remember 2013?

#Obama just won another term and the #GOP was wringing its hands about what to do to stop losing

seattletimes.com/seattle-news/

"#Louisiana Gov. Bobby #Jindal called on the #Republican Party to "stop being the #stupid party" on Thursday as GOP leaders promised fundamental changes to help stave off future losses"

Yeah... about that "GOP stop being the party of stupid"

😬
