Lots of people in this site are sympathetic to any tyrant as long as they aren’t ruling over a western country.

The Iranian protests against their Supreme Leader dwarfed the Gazan protests against Hamas.

The dynamics are way different.

Irans government will implode, nobody will need to be deployed there.

Why would I celebrate stock buybacks?

Also spacex lost like 20 or so Falcons before their first successful mission. Maybe they will explode as many Starships, but they have hit that number yet.

It’s ok to hate Elon, and there are many valid criticisms to make regarding spacex, but they’re the best in the world right now and it isn’t even close.

The biggest issue with Spacex is that Elon needs to be removed before he ruins it like he ruined Tesla.

How has spacex had very few successes? Their Falcon 9 rocket is basically operating like clockwork. They launch more rockets than the rest of the world combined.

The starship failures are higher profile but even those failures are typical when testing new vehicles, especially one as experimental and complex.

SpaceX and Starlink basically have no competition, and if they did, said competitor would also need to be heavily subsidized.

You underestimate the damage that can be done in the ensuing vacuum.

From food security to physical security, impact will be severe.

Never mind that the next superpowers in line to take the mantle are totalitarian ethnostates.

I understand why some people kill their families and then kill themselves.

I’ll still put forth that it’s bad, destructive, and wrong.

The American genocides were a multitude of different actions by different colonial powers across centuries.

Hitler did it in a decade with the power of modern industry.

Correct, they could do without, which is why I rely on Plex’s transcoded downloads to cram a cross-country flight’s worth of stuff onto their iPads.

Good suggestion though.

I’m not so much nitpicking Jellyfin as I am highlighting how crucial transcoded downloads are for my use case, and attempting to get you to have empathy for that use case.

Like, based on the headline I was ready to try out Jellyfin because fuck Plex, but alas, I can’t bail just yet.

Maybe being silent on the matter is best, people asking for features is a dumb way to improve software.

I mean the person you’re talking to is having trouble grasping the concept of friends.

Alternately I could keep using plex.

This is a huge problem. The blueray remux might be 80 gigs. Most children’s devices will already be filled with other crap.

If you’re an Apple user the AppleTV is exactly this. It’s probably Apple’s most fairly priced computing device.

Most of the discords I’m on never use screen share for anything.

This is the most defensible point. Designing APIs to determine what content on your screen is ok to send to a third party (Apple offers ChatGPT integration) is a decent amount of work.

Sure, here’s a station just for you.

They were running everything on a single rack during the first big rush.

Definitely later. Taiwan can sink half of China’s fleet and bomb many of their major cities with their current mix of weapon stockpiles.

If China invaded now they would suffer immensely.
