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.

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.

magical machine bullshit ruse to trick us into funding the launch of capitalism into space

Your ideology begets your conclusions. You are a troll, intentional or not.

They were running everything on a single rack during the first big rush.

Are you being obtuse or do you have a point? A Sabatier reactor has flown on the ISS, so they exist clearly. Audi had a pilot plant producing methane using this method as recently as 10 years ago.

It's obvious the technology exists, and has been tested in space, and is viable on mars according to numerous studies dating back from the 80s to current day.

Do you have any proof to the contrary? I'm a huge space nerd so if there's a fatal flaw in this plan I'd like to know.

Oddly enough when the process was demonstrated by French scientists in the 1800s they did it in space, so the earth has yet to see this advanced technology.

We have flown this experiment on the ISS. It is a chemical process that is over 100 years old and is well understood.

It’s also the only way to lift any significant mass off of mars, because as you said we have no manufacturing or refueling there. So the rocket must refuel itself.

It then follows that if Mars is the next major target of exploration, and methane is cheap and abundant, why not get started now? The alternative is to spend a decade qualifying an engine for human space flight after the green light for a crewed mission.
