Yeah, exactly. My options are roughly: I find a working server, or make my own with blackjack and hookers. And give my friends a free invite.

If you watch on your TV/streaming stick in a browser you get exactly zero support for any picture-enhansements. Not to mention remote controls etc. It can be dealt with but not ideal.

Needed a cracked version for Android. I’d pay them 5$ or whatever, but they insisted on a ludicrous subscription. There’s a very limited TV support. Web app is glitchy.

We switched from Plex to emby and the difference is night and day.

I’d pay for Netflix if they stopped removing and geolocking content. As it is, I can legally acquire half of the content I want to watch. In order to get all of it, I need a vpn to the default country a valid default country credit card, and a subscription to 5 services. I’ll rather set up a seedbox with jellyfin than play their dumb games. But why wouldn’t I pay someone to just do it for many of us instead? This labor scales very well.

bingo. Why is it such a difficult concept. It makes sense to centralize work, that’s it.

dont apologize

sorry for testing

whooosh!

You can, greg. But with that type of reasoning, you’re also just a fish. And this is not a compliment, greg

Sorry about the other tangent.

Rebuilding the society from scratch is very utopic. Everyone stopping to eat meat, or at least reducing it consumption to once a week is a very realistic action plan. It only requires individual willingness and action. Given how current agriculture works, everyone switching to a “meat once a week” diet will completely solve all the draught problems. It will also cut down greenhouse effect by 20% or so (methane bad, kids). There is a very realistic action to climate change, that doesn’t require any sort of revolution. But hey, I’m sure Pepsi is to blame for this not happening.

Now, where I live it’s also very realistic to cycle everywhere. And it’s not Ford or Volkswagen who are to blame that almost no one does.
