  • Jellyfin is absolute dogshit though.

    Sauce: I just installed it on my media server that concurrently runs plex. I run the app on a fire tv cube to use it… and it crashes* constantly.

    Edit: More stuff :)

    -My media library when imported immediately showed seasons of shows as separate shows, it doesn’t intelligently automatically merge it like Plex would.

    -Subtitle options are not consistent or robust. I MUST have subtitles due to having a multilingual family which is largely ESL, if they speak English at all. This is the problem I tried moving to jellyfin to fix.






  • Too much money involved for that.

    Pharma has an open left leaning culture but once you get to executive leadership and the board the only thing that matters is sales. The bribers (aka lobbyists) will work with anyone.

    You can bet your ass there is more chance of the FDA getting disbanded than drugs having prices regulated or simply being banned from sale. I’m expecting the biden price negotiations for medicare and medicaid to go away so the pharmas can milk us even more with their exclusive monopolies for the first decade or so of sales.







  • This is the thing that I literally do not understand. Self-segregation is the stupidest shit.

    A coalition of independent farmers or farmers with a specific agenda is much better than dividing shit by race. Race is the least meaningful way to divide people.

    My wife is black, but she’s not stereotypical American black. If she owned a farm she could be on this list… and she has zero roots in the historical american bullshit. She’s literally an immigrant who pulls six figures in the corporate world. Most of the people of her cultural background are trump supporters for some stupid fucking reason (they think trump will only deport the “other” POCs, not their own, surely THEIR brown people are better right? Morons.)

    If her trump loving copatriots registered as "black’ farmers they could be included in this list… and by buying through them we’d be supporting the establishment no less than if we just went to a mega-corpo grocery store.

    I’m all for supporting businesses and groups that are doing something positive for the community or at the very least are trying not to actively make things worse for people but blindly “buying black” is stupid. I’d much rather buy from a fucking worker owned co-op farm that is politically aligned as far away from hate as possible.





  • The ones actually running the show don’t actually care what skin color they have so long as they are able to work them hard with minimal labor protections and rock bottom wages.

    If you look around at the news articles out there… nobody is talking about farmhands getting picked up by ICE. It seems to be exclusively people in major cities. Maybe someone has seen some articles talking about ICE arrests at places of work, but it seems like this time the goal is to nab them at church, the grocery store or when they are bringing their kids to and from school.
