It would look like no more Iranians being executed for not wearing a hijab, or being gay, or saying mean things about the ayatollah.

But I guess their regime is absolutely necessary to stop the very long list of people that want to genocide Persian culture.

Typical .ml authoritarian apologist.

The people of Iran would be wise to take this opportunity to actually plot their destiny.

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.

The oil lobby and nuke lobby hate each other for the very reasons you’re hand waving away.

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.

MacOS owns the developer/sysadmin laptop market.

Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.

Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.

This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.

Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.

As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.

Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.

Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.
