All the assholes that voted the guy back in (or didn’t vote) share more blame for the runway to fascism than Trump using his lawyers and Supreme Court to run out the clock is (aka your Garland argument).

This is the people on the train track’s quandary, except helping the many keeps you practicing medicine and helping people. Helping the one person gets you locked up.

You’re not going to get people to do that without some sort of protection for them and their families. If you’re a Dr. that can save hundreds, or be locked up because you saved 1 person, it’s a tough case for being the fall person.

Now if they could get a union walkout nationwide (or at least statewide), then they have leverage.

My mind went to the raptors in Jurassic Park, constantly testing the system and taking advantage of any holes/exploits.

I think the transcode part is decided by the client, but in the Jellyfin server admin you can control if a client can request a transcode (which may not be actually needed - and if you know what client they are running it’s probably easier to decide). This could just be client setting though, because I know on Jellyfin you can change the “backend” in the client that it tries to use and can make the difference on things like x265/HVEC playing back or not.

Interesting, again at least in the android/web/Linux client ecosystem I’ve not experienced any of those issues, and Jellyfin has caused me less family tech support issues than Plex or Emby. I guess it all depends on the platform, and how much outside of just media consumption you’re wanting your server to do.

Thanks for the follow up.

We need media stepping up the messaging that the Right is infatuated with the genitals of people, especially children. Outside of maybe your Dr. (and/or partner), nobody should be talking about, or caring about your genitals to the degree the Right is in this pervy/pedo crusade of late.

Ah, “standards”, you got to love them. I was also thinking in terms of using Chromecasting" and not the use of the physical Chromecast device. Thanks for the follow up.

You made some outlandish claims and then refused to back them up. Either you’re talking out of your ass or you’re a bot, which is it?

I have a Lifetime license to Plex, so I have used it, and oddly they do not have your exact requirements listed on the site that I can find. Can you link me, as Google is coming up blank also.

The Android version at least has Chromecast support, not sure on other platforms.

So the server part runs worse from your NAS? That seems odd but I have never run either from a NAS so no idea how to help. =(

What features specifically?

Not asking this to be combative, but as Jellyfin convert I’m curious what quality/features you are missing? Also what platform are you using mainly?

I watch mostly using the Android app or Nvidia Shield, and the client does everything Plex did (in terms of just media watching - no DVR or other features ) without all the bloat the current Plex client brings.

What type of device is the Xbox or PS5 hooked up to? If a TV (“smart TV”) then there is a client for both Roku and Android TV. If they are using a monitor, could they use the web client? Or could they use the web client on either console (I never had an Xbox, and only PS was PS1 so I honestly have no idea)?

I’ve only used the Android/Android TV/web client versions from the Jellyfin team, but all seemed solid these days. On Linux I’ve also used a number of 3rd party clients, and there are plenty of 3rd party clients for most non-console platforms.

I noticed this myself as a teenager, with of all things, the popularity of Jeff Foxworthy and his whole “redneck” shtick. He glorified idiocracy and people reveled in being uneducated and just ignorant of everything. They would proudly wear shirts (or other merch) proclaiming it.

And I know it’s not the thing that turned the US towards anti-intellectualism, but it’s a time that sticks out to me still as something I can look back at as a visible manifestation of that shift.

Ah, the small government free speech party once again putting their hypocrisy on full display. I wish more people watched their actions instead of just listening to the lies they say and are repeated through their propaganda network.

Is this a position she needs to resign from the House to do, because that would be awful! /s

Sorry! Privatizing education (because it’s $$$) has been on the GOP bucket list for years. It’s why they constantly bash teachers and their unions. It’s why we have trans rights as a social issue in schools first. It’s why they could care less about gun violence in schools. It’s why they are constantly trying to cut funding, putting conspiracy theorists on school boards, and banning books. And on and on.

It’s all about undercutting the public’s perception of public education, so when they try and do a hard steer to private schools people think “it can’t be any worse”. And they run it like Trump University and laugh all the way to the bank, and it’ll take decades to reverse (if ever).

Because it’s not about being qualified, it’s about-

1. being loyal
2. breaking the system so that the GOP can continue their “the government doesn’t work” talking points, and move everything to being privatized and controlled by donors ($$$)
