It looks like as long as the host has a Plex pass, this doesn’t change much. It is a regression of service, which sucks, but there are viable alternatives for those unable or unwilling to pay. And honestly, jellyfin is the clear winner in that case and always has been.

Now, if they start to charge my friends and family for access to my media after I have already paid them for their lifetime subscription, then I’ll grab a pitchfork with the crowd.

Also, why not run both and be ready? The resources required are minimal if you’re running via docker, just some extra RAM and a negligible amount of compute for overhead on library maintenance tasks.

I would say it shares a key similarity to a ponzi scheme, but has entirely different goals, methods, and results.

Both of them pay initial “investors” with later investors funds. In a ponzi scheme, this is unknown to the later investors so that they can eventually be left holding the bag. But in social security, this is a known commodity, and the thought is that there will always be more people.

Unfortunately, that last part gets a bit nuanced with population decline and growing needs of the elderly. Either way, it’s a good system or a good scheme, but it’s definitely not a ponzi scheme. Because just like healthcare, even if we don’t fund social security, elderly and disabled people are still going to need care and skip out on their bills when they die. So in the end, we’re still paying for it but with extra steps and lawsuits.

That honestly doesn’t sound like a bad mission, but it seems like there’s a couple other requirements they should impose on their mission and then there wouldn’t be any controversy.

They should require that their package works as well as the upstream, and, in the even that it doesn’t, they need to be very blatant and open that this is a downstream package, and support for it will only be provided by Fedora Flatpaks, and that you may have better results with the official packages.

The primary issues in this case is that it doesn’t work, and it’s not been clear to users who to ask for help.

If you’re going to be a martyr, that’s a huge commitment. Right now, folks like you and I are just toeing the line and hoping someone else makes the decision for us. But if you’re going to toe that line and you’re not already armed, you’re just volunteering to be slaughtered. Get armed, train, and be ready for when your rights are violated.

The people you’re arguing with and you always seem to want the same progressive candidate, but it ain’t reflecting in the vote counts. I’m not even gonna argue from my viewpoint anymore, cause it doesn’t matter when we want the same thing. What can we do together to make sure that changes? Especially in local and state elections, that seems to be where we can make the most impact.

You’re going out and voting for every primary for progressive candidates, right? Cause we both gotta do it, cause there’s just that many Nazis out there. And we need our friends and families to do so too, and I imagine you are just the same as I am and talking with them.

So if everyone is doing their best in their small world, what’s the next step, or what are we missing in your opinion? And I’m asking this with sincerity, whether you believe it or not.

And since it’s a while to the next voting time, do you see any worthwhile plan of resistance? There’s a couple of general strike/don’t work days planned coming up, but pessimism seems strong there. How are you feeling about them or other options?

Valid points on Merrick Garland too. He was disappointing in many respects, but yeah, they fucked him hard on the supreme court nomination didn’t they.

Fuck them back, let’s be entirely clear, if the pendulum does swing… This is how it’s supposed to go, right? Living wage is gonna get a whole lot easier when you can just throw executive orders at private business, and launch lawsuits for not listening good enough. No takes backsies for the fucking pigs this time.

I don’t see it that way, where are these supposed trump regretting folk? I haven’t seen them. I thought I saw one in a friend I miss, and then he spews the qanon bullshit that passes for doge talking points.

By overwhelming majority, they’re cool with this. This is America, when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

You seem to think I’m arguing with you. Fight the good fight. Progressive or bust, encourage everyone to vote in primaries. There’s literally no other alternative for a future. We either resist from here at every point, or we’re done. Let’s see how the lawyers do over the next few days, reevaluate, and let’s see how far we get until we get enough public outcry to actually do something.

What else do you think we could do?

I have a very real fear that even if a truly progressive democratic candidate runs for president, they still won’t win.

Don’t get me wrong, they still should actually give it a shot. There’s literally no other winning alternative for the Dems.

Instead, I think you’re very right about the DNC not knowing what people want. There is a huge, mildly surprising amount of support in this country for bigotry. There is a surprising amount of people locked into the Nazi vote, and you know I’m not exaggerating. This is what people actually want. As it turns out, they chose fascism over treating specific people as people, same as last time, and times before.

This is America. And it has allies with other bigots and land grabbing warmongers.

May we both survive, and here’s to hoping we can get a progressive candidate next time, if we get a next time. It’s always worth it to fight for someone’s right to just exist.

Everyone else is right. Try to line something new up first. But I was once in the position of quitting without something lined up, and the decider for me was that if I didn’t quit, I was likely to actually take my own life. It’s a matter of perspective at that point, and clearly, surviving was the better option.

“Nothing can stop what is coming”

Hey FBI, he’s doing it again. Haha, no seriously.

Attempt to sue them first, and if that fails burn the place down.

If you have any interest in playing a good Pokemon game, Pokemon Legends Arceus is excellent. Palword may be just a bit better, but if you have a lingering nostalgia and a desire for some fresh and well executed mechanics in the Pokemon universe, PLA slaps.

If the inertia didn’t physically damage more than half of those drives, I would be surprised. I don’t think redundancy is a factor in this scenario. This has 3 likely outcomea. Restore from local backup in a different rack, restore from cloud/offsite backup, or the whole company needs to update their resumes.

Musky Bois be like “that’s not rust, it’s patina”.

Holy crap haha. No, I either forgot or dont remember and had to look it up. Man, they didn’t even wait for the man to get in office before selling racist memorabilia.

Some live a more sheltered life, and there’s always a varying degree of racism in different areas.

My experience was of becoming an adult right around that time, which just meant other adults were now suddenly ok being openly racist around me, and boy did they have a lot to say around that time.

You’re right, I do have a very pessimistic outlook on this subject. I personally see this as an emerging battle of sorts between the technology sector of the West and China, but it may not be that dire. There may still be hope for cooperation and positive competition.

You’re also right about there being a large software development component that would be made less likely by a shaky future. Though I think that could be overcome by force and focus, and I have to admit, that is something I respect about the Chinese tech sector.

I am also pretty amazed in general with the progress that’s been made on these chips in such a short time, props to them for that.

Huawei does indeed have a good track record and history regarding IP, but I would say there is a cultural expectation of cooperation with IP holders, and if that cooperation is perceived to be lacking then the IP rights are disregarded. The balance of power is not the same as it is with American/European countries. Which is what I mean when I say they will pick up the licensing rights on the cheap, or they will give a middle finger.

The western world is not exactly cooperating with Huawei(for better or worse), and it’s likely that they may “return fire” if given sufficient motivation.
