    Going around pretending to be a therapist to add some guise of psychological authority when you’re telling people they should be ashamed of themselves is disgusting and abhorrent behaviour and you should be deeply ashamed of yourself.

    And if you’re for real I’d like to schedule a session. Seriously.

    They literally wrote in a book what they were going to do and then did it, and were caught doing it and kept doing it, and they continue doing it despite the fact they keep getting caught because so many have their heads buried squarely in the sand. But yeah, deeply toxic to point out. Definitely the cause of fascism.

    Not wasting my time having this conversation when any thought out well reasoned response is just going to be removed by someone tripping on the least amount of power possible. But I will say you are reading this incorrectly. I don’t say must because you’re in a hostage situation, I say must because it is what has to happen to avoid fascism. Put your oppositional defiance disorder aside for a second and look at the situation realistically and objectively. Those saying the Dems are fascist anyway need a swift reality check, the Biden era was a golden age compared to this singular year. Do the Dems have to do more and better? Of course they do, that’s neither here nor there, but holding them to initially higher standards than Republicans just lets the Republicans get away with literal actual murder.
















  • The conversion is not the biggest issue. For my dad or Grandmother to stream my content, Plex as a streaming app is something they can easily understand and digest (though Plex’s new streaming app has done quite a bit to undo that -_-). I have the subscription, I acquire the content, I choose who to share it with. Now they need a subscription, too? Where’s the value? Why wouldn’t they just pay for a streaming service at that point? I’m using my hardware and doing all the work and they are paying Plex? And if I accepted payment for the same thing it would be a crime! BUT I’m not sure I’m comfortable opening Jellyfin to the internet, even behind nginx, and I don’t want to have to spend time setting things up for them or troubleshooting their issues w/ Jellyfin. I put enough labor into this thing already.

    So yes obviously everyone should switch to the FOSS option, but in reality it’s not that simple because the services aren’t 1:1.
