  I’ll note that I use LibreELEC as that handles HDR (I couldn’t get other Kodi installs working with HDR)

  There are a few things about Kodi that might help:

  1. There are themes thay completely change the UI, so it doesn’t have to be outdated. I use Arctic: Zephyr – Reloaded and it is much better, though I did change the noises to something else.
  2. The Jellyfin plugin works pretty seamlessly if you set up the UI correctly. I only use Kodi for Jellyfin and it acts as if it’s all local files, other than the occasional syncing notice.

  However, I feel you on Netflix, YouTube, etc. - it is not ideal. I ended up either logging into a separate partition or moving to a Chromecast for those things. I’d love an all-in-one solution but I haven’t managed to find one that I’d be happy with.

  That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Insects are a more eco friendly source of protein than cattle, and cattle might become more expensive due to the effects global warming and the potential taxes that could be placed on emissions, but there are plenty of other protein sources and there isn’t some big plan.

  LibRedirect Firefox addon is good to automatically redirect various websites, the main one I use it fkr being reddit. Redlib etc servers aren’t reliable, but it’ll ping the different ones and find which is working well.

  There’s the “right to choose” in England, which allows you to pick a private provider that the NHS will pay for. Wait lists are not short, and places often pause referrals, but wait times are months not years. You need your GP to do the referral and some don’t want to but they have to. Then there’s a bunch of problems with the shared care agreements not being accepted too.

  It’s a lot to look into but it might get you there sooner. Ideologically I hate this as it is a waste of NHS money but for those that need the care in a timely manner it can be the only option. It is frustrating that there hasn’t been enough investment in the NHS.
