  • Better is subjective.

    Simpler in a more streamlined sense, yes. Plex is more hands-off, and is doing a lot behind the scenes to automatically configure itself to your hardware for the best transcoding experience and such.

    Jellyfin needs a little more work but can get there, it just needs to be shown the hardware and be configured correctly, but I find Jellyfin to be simpler and less cluttered overall when properly finished, with less strings attached to a parent company.


  • My headcanon:

    Leftist: One who supports the general ideas of the Democratic party and supports the people at the head and their usual goings-on, voted Harris, enjoy the color blue.

    Liberal: A Leftist, but they don’t think their party speaks for them enough, or aren’t extreme enough on certain issues they don’t think are represented enough, so they think the party has abandoned or doesn’t speak for them. These can be anyone from lgbtq+ activists to worker unions to Bernie Sanders. The idea that the left has left you, or whatever you stand for, and you are the liberal left.

    Liberal(2nd definition): Someone who’s into traditionalist communist ideals, Lemmy calls them “tankies”. These tend to… not be what most people are talking about when they say liberal, despite arguments to the contrary.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, this is in the context of the USA.











  • While I do feel a sense of involvement in their exploitation by being a part of this system, I’m not going to feel bad for anyone who can’t follow the simple rules of the game.

    Where’s the line between exploitation and personal fault? I can’t expect everyone who’s ever owned a credit card to have been put in the same situation where it’s the only way. For all I know, my last reward points trickled down from some asshat who financed a car on unemployment.




  • No, it’s a thing idiots should avoid at all costs.

    A card with a 2% reward across the board(Fidelity for instance) can be used as a proxy for your debit card week to week.

    It builds my credit, gives me a group of attack dogs to sic on anyone who rips me off, and gives me a cushion if I ever need it. If you never exceed your expenses and never reach beyond your means, it’s no different in consequence than paying with anything else, with a little added bonus credit and reward.

    It’s people and their lack of self control that ruin credit cards.
