I have some thoughts:

The fact that government shutdown prevented federal workers from being paid (a huge portion being the military) was a large portion of the Democrats’ leverage as public sentiment decreases the longer the shutdown persists. If the military is able to be paid, the shutdown will certainly continue as there is less pressure on either side to agree.

The military is able to operate on a limited basis with unobligated/emergency funds, but is not ‘funded’. If the pool of available money is used to fund personnel, it will certainly reduce readiness as pre-planned activities will not have funds to proceed or for emergencies. There is also certainly not available funds to repeat this multiple times.

In FY 2024 the DoD’s total budget was about $873.5 billion, and compensation for active‑duty, reserve and retired troops accounted for roughly $191.9 billion – ≈ 22 % of the total budget.

That means this move will cost about almost $16 billion per month assuming everyone including retirees are paid. The Pentagon has identified about $8 billion of unused research‑development, testing and evaluation money from the previous FY that can be redirected, but that doesn’t seem to be enough and again, a one time use.

You mistake is thinking Trump knows how to read a map.

Yeah, I agree I was chuckling till I saw the last article and audibly said oooooh. A real sobering moment.

What are you trying to do exactly? Add full albums to a playlist queue in a random order?

Edit: removed.

In this video, I showcase a couple ways of adding albums to a queue. From thw album menu, tapping the play arrow loads the whole album in the queue (replacing the queue). You can long tap to select then three dots add to playlist -> add to play queue. Finally from an album page, you can click add album to play queue.

I thought I figured it out, with the group select on multiple albums then the three dots, but it only adds the first album selected. Sounds like something that could be requested in a future update for multi-album adds via a group select.

Does this help? I’ve been impressed with the official app and tried a few unofficial ones, but this seems to have all the utility and features I want.

Edit: forgot to add if full in order albums isn’t what you’re after, there are other options including the app making a random Instant Mix of songs of the same genre.

I use the official jellyfin client on my phone. I hear you in that I have also wanted some randomness in selecting what to listen to.

I keep the standard Album category and use the random sort. Then I still get some agency in selection, but it’s all mixed.

Edit: Confirmed minimum is Android 5.0 or newer.

Ah, I see the yellow specs. Thank you. Hardly noticeable for me until I zoomed in.

What am I looking at here, champ?

Haven’t I seen several recent links of samsung to Israel?

The first item was Apple recommending Samsung as an alternative.

Where’s Twitter in that list?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I’ve noticed this too on clips of social media posts. I would imagine the purpose is to standardize the size of pictures into a square, but I don’t know what tool is doing it.

Classic story

I think you missed the mark.
