I think that until we get healthcare reform, we should just let Luigi out after 2 or 3 months, and give him a new target. We've got a reality TV star for a president, so that's a hell of a lot more likely than it should be.

If I remember correctly, people assumed that Wheeler had a deep hatred in his heart for the cable company oligopoly in America which stonewalled his company/invention from taking root in the states. A brief look at his wiki page seems to tell some of that story, calling the Nabu Network "the internet, 10 years ahead of its time". Imagine if you essentially invented the internet, the cable companies prevented your invention from coming to fruition, and then someone went and implemented it on phone lines instead shortly after.

There's more to the story than just cable oligopoly rat fucks, including technical and arbitrary limitations of the technology, compared to the standardized open web we know.

Meanwhile, this guy is a straight up conservative hatchet man installed to damage and destabilize. He holds no grudges against the folks enriching him.

That explains it. You know there are incentives for your employer to hire vets, right? You're a DEI hire.

You do realize that you're glossing over the fact that yours is one of the few decently paying fields that allows entry without a degree or certification and doesn't destroy your body, that everyone is different and technology skills are not some people's strong suits, and that opportunities are not given equally, right?

Nah, probably not. This is called survivorship bias, and you've fallen into it hard.

I mean, if you flip this on the x axis, the country support lines up pretty well to the political compass memes for the West. Authoritarians overwhelmingly support Israel, lefties overwhelmingly support Ukraine, and the right wing is surprisingly pro Russia. I wish more libs, both right and left, supported Palestinians though.

Of course, the words attached are hilarious bullshit still haha.

It do be like that sometimes.

It's also an extremely long shot, isn't it? Trying to convince people that old people won't complain about things, and that they trust the government. That's about as likely as trying to convince a Republican that they want a Tesla.

Our only saving grace is that they're reeeally dumb sometimes.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

There's already been a couple attempts on his life, so your theory holds ground.

If the justice system worked the same way for everyone as it did for trump, it would be no different than not existing at all.

I mean, if he somehow championed and ushered in a single payer healthcare system, it might offset the awful shit being done elsewhere. He won't, but that's because "MAHA" is doing as much to make America healthy as "MAGA" is doing to make America great.

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.
