The Linux Experiment showed content, but Coffeezilla and Louis Rossman show empty for some reason.


I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn’t user friendly.
Maybe it wasn’t the user interface after all.


Tl;dr:
although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone
That’s why they don’t care.
Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).
Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.
And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.
At which point, they’ll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.
There is a viable alternative to the problems raised by Bill Gates in his irate letter to computer hobbyists concerning “ripping off” software. When software is free, or so inexpensive that it’s easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won’t be “stolen”.

The last two paragraphs are tangentially about the fire, and don’t engage with the anger at all - which was the subject of the headline.
It’s like I was watching a news segment where they stop reporting and cut to a talking head who started analyzing political responses to the fire.
How much Chinese companies are donating to relief efforts and the political parallels of an election being delayed (covid before, the fire now) are tangentially related, but in my opinion, that’s no longer focused on “Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 years”.


Yep. What’s considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you’re used to.
It’s why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.


I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).
But Jellyfin doesn’t have that reputation.
And then they bring you steak with bees because the server’s new and she doesn’t quite understand the kitchen shorthand yet.
Hate when that happens.


We still have those?
I thought they all went into tech*.
Last horror story I heard was that Korean Telegram sex abuse/blackmail ring.
It’s a Wikipedia article, but the whole thing is NSFL.


TL;Dr: They want the Hong Kong leader to focus on the renovation company’s possible corruption, not the bamboo that didn’t burn.
The Hong Kong leader responded to the fire by promising to replace (traditional Hong Kong) bamboo scaffolding with (mainland China) steel, because they’re claiming it might have been an accelerant.
Residents argue that this is a distraction (most of the bamboo is still standing) from the real issue: the company doing the renovation/maintenance seems shoddy/corrupt and should be investigated.
At this point, the article gets unfocused and jumps around a lot.
By the end, she’s talking about the upcoming elections being compromised by the Chinese government.


I set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.
Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.
My users don’t want to fiddle.


So Plex has downgraded to [insert the word below feature parity] with Jellyfin.


All of your comments in my inbox are immature attacks.
Since you’re not even trying to engage in an argument with me, I’m blocking you.


Wealthy capitalists, if they’re not based in the US
Are you talking about this part? If so, what I was saying was that billionaires moved to either the US or the three countries I mentioned.
That means the billionaires from China also did not move to Taiwan.
You can also look at the wiki for Taiwan’s billionaires. Only one was born in China and not Taiwan (Hong Kong, specifically), and I’m pretty sure he moved to Taiwan way before the events we’re taking about in this thread.


That would be… so lame.
Even if Selfridge’s entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the “full quote” is the better quote.
I can’t imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes “the customer is always right” is more correct of a saying without “in matters of taste”.
If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.
The stuff saved on my phone’s not for the faint of heart but… you do you, Ancient Terror.
