Good point, thanks for calling that out.

Apple Maps was bad, yes. But they had their hand forced. Google started charging for their API (enough to cripple their app), and they had very little time to create one of their own.

That’s not happening here. No one is forcing their hand. If they didn’t release an updated Siri this year, nothing would happen.

Feminists aren’t saying that men are trash. They’re saying women should be equal. Some men hear that and feel attacked, thinking that feminists are calling them trash.

This meme isn’t funny, it just reveals what you think feminist arguments are about. You think they’re about you.

Yes. Android already does all these things. But I think the things I’m excited most about are not on this list at all.

  1. A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

  2. Personal messaging via satellite. I love that I can stay in touch with people outside of a cell network.

So your suggestion is that in order to keep the business afloat, Uber should be allowed to pay their workers less than minimum wage? That doesn’t sound like a reasonable business, and certainly not one I’m willing to support in my province.

This argument also falls flat because other places have done this with no increase in cost. If you look outside of the app job industry, the argument is often made that if the US raises minimum wage, places like McDonalds will get more expensive. But in Europe and elsewhere the minimum wage is way higher than the US, and their prices are not.

Allowing Uber to underpay their workers means we have to subsidize the company by providing welfare for workers who don’t earn enough. That’s coming out of our tax dollars. I’m not personally in favour of subsidizing Uber if their business can only survive by undercutting the people building it.

How was this not already banned? It’s like hearing that they just banned punching bus drivers. Congrats and all, but how was that not already a law?

Sometimes you can get therapy covered through health insurance. It’s worth checking, because therapy can be really helpful, even just for having someone to share stresses with. I hope you’re able to find someone!

I don’t. I use Plex until Jellyfin has been built out more.

Agreed. You could argue that Reddit is actually overcrowded.

Correction: he became not-a-billionaire. I’d still trade my bank account with his any day.

I agree. But I have a list of things Plex still does better. I’m hoping I can hold on until Jellyfin can adopt these features.

  • Intro skip on AppleTV
  • TV Collections
  • Skip credits
  • Editions
  • Hide from on deck 
  • Downloads
  • Home Users or some other way to easily switch users on common devices.

I’m hoping that if Plex pulls something really stupid, we get a dev effort like the Reddexit last year that made Lemmy so much better.

Sounds like it. The more Plex does things like this, the closer I get to adopting Jellyfin.
