I see this comment a lot on Lemmy and it's disturbing. I too was perma banned for telling a Nazi to "go to hell". 10 year old account with no prior bans.
Districts still matter when it comes to voter suppression measures. Less polling stations, requiring voters vote only in their district, purging voters, etc.
We truly are getting dumber as a species. We're facing climate change but running some of the most power hungry processers in the world to spit out cooking recipes and homework answers for millions of people. All to better collect their data to sell products to them that will distract them from the climate disaster our corporations have caused. It's really fun to watch if it wasn't so sad.
I wasn't referencing the article I was speaking more generally on things like "Democracy Index" or others that care more about a country having unregulated free markets than they do about citizens having healthcare. This is often what these "democracy" surveys refer to as Economic Freedom. You can pretend it's how they act like it's defined like "oh the government can't tell you what business you can run as a poor mom and pop shop". But in reality it's the biggest players that benefit from unregulated markets on a global scale.
It's why a capitalist hellhole like Argentina is considered a "flawed democracy" and Cuba is considered "Authoritarian". It's just neoliberal bull shit.
Most of the "Democracy" status countries are bull shit anyway. They are heavily weighed on "Economic Freedom" which is a fancy way of saying the freedom for which Imperialist nations corporations are able to exploit third world countries resources.
Nationalize your oil system and have the profits of it go directly back to your people for the improvement of social programs? Damn, that sounds like Communism!
Sell oil drilling rights to Shell to "bring jobs" to your country that pay poverty wages, destroy local ecosystems, and extract all your resources with no benefits to the local population? Well, that's "Economic Freedom" baby!
That's just not correct. Mate. It's setting up a secure route from the client to your Plex server. It's essentially doing what Tailscale does but just handling the client setup automatically via their Plex authentication. They are authenticating the connection and setting up the route from the client to the server. They are not handling petabytes of data people are streaming. The ISPs are doing that.
Its not. It is setting up a secure route from the client to the server. That is quite literally not a server. No one thinks Tailscale is a Server service. That's essentially all they are doing but just handling adding the clients automatically when they authenticate.
Unless Jellyfin becomes more plug and play Plex will be fine. I like Jellyfin but there is a reason Plex is still around. People are willing to pay for how user friendly it is. Every time I've reinstalled Plex it just works with no issues. I can literally set it up at a friend's house once and never have an issue ever.
With jellyfin Its just never been that experience.
Yeah. The day they start making something subscription that isn't included in the lifetime pass is the day they get their office burned down by a lot of angry people.
My dude if you are connecting from outside your local network you are "exposed" to the Internet in some way. What magic are you thinking Plex is doing? Is someone hand deliverying the packets via USPS?
Why is this getting upvoted? Plex isn't running a server. You are. Your computer and your media files are quite literally "the server" that is serving the files to you remotely. Plex is at best doing authentication.
I don't wanna be a politics guy in a Linux sub. But this is not just a problem with Windows or even the choice of software. This is a fundamental problem with capitalism and won't simply go away if every company suddenly replaced every OS with Linux. The same material incentives would still exist. Look at what Android OS has become. Would it be better for nerds like us? Sure. But software freedom goes hand in hand with the economic structures and incentives of our economic system. Windows is used because of how unfriendly it is. Linux is not used because of how much freedom it gives the end user. And if it is used it's a special packaged restricted version of Linux.
If you happen to be a economics nerd and a Linux nerd I can't recommend this video enough. There is too much to be said on how we got to this state we live in today in a single comment.
My rule with trying a new install is to "try docker first" and if it doesn't work then I don't bother trying to debug docker because it's usually easier to just try native OS stuff.
But when docker works it's always great. Most of the time it works perfectly and I have only ever had problems when I need cuda support and their is some version mismatch with some random half ass DockerFile someone made.
Good. That means the burn a Tesla campaign is working. The goal is no one buying any new ones.
