Unless we win the lottery or my long lost cousin from somewhereelseistan calls to let me know they’ve got a spot for us, we’re sheltering in place unfortunately.

You know I’ve had this feeling for a long time. But I really have it now.
Look at everything going on, everything he’s doing. If AOC (arbitrary example, but he’ll call any Democrat a “radical marxist” through the entire campaign no matter who it is) is elected in 2028, he and his handlers will go “well, at least it will take them a long time to unfuck things.” No, there’s no way that happens.
Maybe we’ll get an honest election and maybe we’ll learn the results of it. I don’t think he leaves in Jan 2029 without a fight no matter who wins, unless it’s Vance, and maybe not even then.
And to be clear, there’s no way the Dems will run AOC. We’ll probably get someone even further right than Kamala or Biden since it seems to be Republican votes they actually want now.
I only have hope for 2028 actually resulting in Trump no longer being president if the cheeseburgers take him before then, or the 2026 midterms are not only a blue wave, but also entirely above board and free of shenanigans.

IRL an opener like that receiving a response like that would probably be a sign that these two people are absolutely made for each other, IMO. They’d probably be a fantastic couple and wind up growing old together.

It’s almost like everything Republicans claim to stand for is a hollow lie.

I dunno, between how clearly French people routinely and thoroughly let it be known that they will not be fucked with by their leadership and shit like this, if I win the lottery and get rich enough for some country to let me escape from the white nationalist oligarchy of the US, France is looking pretty good.

Being so far away with a huge military insulates us from the consequences of our actions abroad.

Ffs this is not twitter, the point of communities is you don’t have to read about topics you don’t care,
I know! It’s super annoying when people do not conform to the stated rules of the community they post in!

So they want to let the plagiarism-machine conduct war now? Cool cool cool.

Well, I can tell you how Jellyfin differs from a directory full of files, but I can’t help you with understanding that other people have different preferences and desires than you.
You’ll have to make it to that one on your own.

You are imagining how to use a computer filled with video files.
Now imagine having your own personal netflix available on a variety of devices, using just that one computer full of video files.

Emby
Jellyfin exists because Emby was only open source until it wasn’t convenient. Some of their own devs pointed out they were violating the license, and their response was… non-ideal.
So Jellyfin was forked with the last fully open-source Emby code.
At least that’s my recollection several years down the line.
I decided then that no amount of headache from Jellyfin (and let me say that I was an EARLY jellyfin adopter AND former Plex user) would be enough to get me to use Emby. (Because things like that are important to me, though I realize they aren’t important to everyone.)
And reading this thread I’m apparently a super-genius because I have my Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and serve it to my elderly parents with a simple login and an app they were able to install, and never found it to be a headache. (Which, if I’d read this thread only, I’d conclude was just not possible without voodoo magic)
No headaches along the way, and whereas Plex had already begun the march to enshittification when I left, Jellyfin has done nothing but steadily get better.
Anyhow, longer answer than intended, but I’d go back to Plex before I’d go to Emby, just on principle.

Odd, since my Jellyfin sits behind a reverse proxy.
- Comment on George Floyd Murdered (2020) On this day in 2020, a Minneapolis cop murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. Floyd's death became the catalyst for protests around... 1 month ago:
Yep, I spent all of 2020 watching police escalate and beat protesters, all with maga yip yapping about cities “burned to the ground” and insisting that what I saw with my own eyes was not what I saw with my own eyes.
Won’t ever look at cops the same again. I was already beginning to realize they weren’t like I was raised to believe (in the bubble of privilege I grew up in) but 2020 made a lasting, permanent change.
I treat every single interaction with police, no matter how casual, like an event to be exited as soon as possible, and as if it could turn violent at any moment.
Police testimony without bodycame will = hearsay when next I’m called for jury duty.

They gotta feed the “he was no saint” narrative. (Not that I, nor anyone else, ever said he was…)

Loose fit for this community? Maybe. Never hurts to have a reminder though, given that Trump is undoing all the federal police reforms proposed as a result.

There seems to be some debate on that, but he definitely wrote a song in 2017 that should have been released a couple of months ago. 😁

I don’t feel it’s substantially changed, you’ve just added more detail. You don’t need to care about my opinion though, and I’m not suggesting you should; I’m just sharing how I see it.
