The people who are more likely to retain a PC and not just use a phone, are more likely to be tech literate power users.

This selects against casual windows users, and selects for hardcore Linux users

CUDA accelerated JSON parser is sorely needed

I guess in the modern version you’d have the child, then an adult with all bars empty. Then that’s just it because they died before reaching retirement age from stress and poverty related illness

So that works out to £150 per Megabyte?! Holy fuck that’s a scam. With average webpage size being ~2MB that’s £300 a page

G5? This has been thing since I got my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini in 2010

Fair, in this example Bill Gates isn’t exactly the best one to pick. And the clarification on the lobbying rules is definitely a valuable bit of information, so thank you for adding that.

I was more trying to point out that the original comment wasn’t saying that the tax break “made money”. It’s all about shuffling it around to avoid taxes.

At the end of the day, it allows Bill Gates (or other billionaires) to spend otherwise taxable income on whatever they deem important. Whether or not you agree with how they’re spending their money is irrelevant

The above post seemed to be saying that:

1. Bill Gates pays less taxes as he donates to a charity

2. Bill Gates runs that charity

3. Bill Gates then gets to decide how that charity spends his donated money

This then means that he can use what should have been tax to:

4. Pay himself with the charities money, as he is an employee of the charity

5. Lobby politicians using the charity’s money

6. Otherwise direct the charity to work in his best interests

Which part are you disagreeing with? I guess he doesn’t “make money” in the strictest sense, but it sure seems like he’s exploiting the system to keep more of it

It would be great if the Jellyfin Devs could have some sort of paid service that just does all the DNS/reverse proxy stuff required for remote access, and charge like £5 a month for it.

They would just have to make it clear that the money is going towards further development, not just for the actual service. And obviously continue to allow others to set things up themselves if desired.

I’d pay for that so quick, it would just be so convenient

The problem I have with Plex is that default UI is bloated with recommendations, alternative sources and what might as well be ads. Meaning I need to help less technically literate (and sometimes technically literate) friends set up the UI anyway. Just so that they can actually cut through the piles of bullshit to see my server content.

Plex’s default UI is ruined by it trying to shovel its extra shit onto you constantly, making it a terrible new user experience.

At least with Jellyfin you connect to the server and you’re done. It’s a lot more manual, but the UI is just better and easier to navigate.

I say this as an avid Plex user, mostly due to Jellyfin having somewhat dodgy support for more advanced audio and video codecs

Capitalism IS 100% authoritarian. Any ideology which puts profit margins above individual rights and freedoms is authoritarian, be it monarchy, fascism or capitalism. /s

The point is that literally right now houses are not being 3D printed to a good enough standard that we would even think about replacing workers.

It is also true that technological progress will change that sooner or later.

I don’t think there’s a disagreement here
