If you’ve signed in to a MS account you have your bitlocker encryption key and won’t lose any data.

and forced obsolescence refers to Win11 blocking everything prior to Zen+ and Coffee Lake

Because Win11 uses features that that hardware doesn’t have. Win10 is still there and still works. You can’t stop progress forever.

and not all people are comfortable with having to sign up for an online account just to install their OS and would rather make a local account if possible;

Sure, but most are fine with it especially with the benefits it brings. For older people it’s an absolute godsend, as all their files are automatically backed up to onedrive and accessible on any computer.

Also, I didn’t know local backups of your data ala simply copying it to an external drive at the minimum, weren’t an option that existed anymore. sarcasm

What are you talking about?

Not really doing too well there either, are you?

I definitely don’t, but thanks I guess. I can look at my own forearm skin still on my arm if I want.

As a trans man, any men you sleep with are not homosexuals unless they’re using you as a type of beard, because homosexuals are same sex attracted men. Your sex is not male.

Yeah the best solution is to definitely just keep voting for the same people who have been in charge for decades and have overseen it get worse and worse. No other options at all.

Gay men aren’t sexually attracted to females. Any men you’re sleeping with aren’t homosexual men.

You’re not going to manage to play a convincing feminist dumbass.

Your inability to string together a competent counter argument doesn’t make me a dumbass.

Your parents are definitely right.

Step 5, recover password?

That’s what the online MS account is for - your BitLocker encryption key is stored on your account that you can access from any web browser.

It’s rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you.

X.

Online dating apps are irrelevant. When they find out you’re biologically female they will lose all interest if they’re gay males.

This is such a transparent ass pull; you don’t actually give a shit about homophobia.

100% incorrect. The current “trans rights” push comes at the expense of gay rights, as I have said and as I have pointed out specific examples of. Women’s rights have come at the expense of “trans rights” as well. When you’re taking away someone elses rights because you think you deserve more rights, you’re on the wrong path.

If anything they’re more empowered here if they lean the right way politically (which is a hard left), because the mods are even more militant in their banning due to wrongthink here.

The task was to tell you the difference. It told you the difference, it was just wrong about the differences. Giving an incorrect answer to a task is still doing the task.

If that’s what you think you don’t understand the ruling, or transphobia.

It’s very likely that the Democrats are the fucking reason people WANT to be there.

More Americans left California between 2023 and 2024 than any other state across the country, according to new data released by the Census Bureau.

The Golden State lost a total of 239,575 residents to other states, the largest net domestic migration loss in the country over the past year. New York, another blue bastion in the country, saw the second-highest loss, losing a total of 120,917 residents between 2023 and 2024.

Guess where they moved to on average?

Citation needed.

No citation needed. They’ll either do it one day or the software will languish behind in obscurity.

Anyway, what’s wrong with being left behind?

Nothing I guess, other than the competition getting further and further ahead and your users leaving for them.

We’re not in a race, so I don’t understand how we could get left behind.

You definitely are. JellyFin doesn’t exist in a vaccuum. You might not feel like its competition, but the jellyfin software competes with all the other media streaming software out there.

We literally currently have a federal government taking US citizens from their homes and sending them to prison in a foreign nation they’ve never been to before, for simply criticizing Israel.

No US citizens have been taken as far as I’m aware?

From what I’ve seen the last week, basically if you don’t agree with the group-think you’re labelled as “trolling” automatically lol. You don’t even have to be doing anything even remotely resembling “trolling”, just saying something that isn’t what the echo chamber decided is the right opinion.

Also, the UKSC judgment is a pseudo-scientific piece of junk. Agreeing with it is a big-ass red flag.

This is a giant red flag actually.

We have no ambition of being more lenient than Reddit

At least you’re honest I guess. Authoritarian dictatorship enforced echo chamber is the goal.

I always see this and I have to ask: why do you care?

Because OP is scared of losing their users because of their incorrect thinking that Plex was requiring them all to buy a remote streaming pass, so clearly OPs goal is to not lose their users, right?

OP asked, we’re answering. That’s kinda the whole point of this thing called Lemmy. We don’t care per se, we’re just telling OP our opinions and thoughts on their questions and proposed solutions.

Have to agree with the other comment that asks why do you need to use a vpn. Fax

If you don’t use a VPN you’re putting yourself at risk. There’s no real way around it with Jellyfin, as others have said.

I find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits

You are very, very naive and uneducated on what bad actors do on the internet then. Basically any popular service that exposes a port to the internet WILL have bots scanning for that port specifically.
