The rat-thing was, in fact, poisonous.

I have no recollection of the journey to the hospital. My clearest memory is being face down in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses. I remember going into an MRI scan and giggling as they removed my nipple piercings. Looking back, it was clear I was in shock. It turns out the blade had gone 7.8cm deep in my back. It had partially severed a nerve in my spinal cord and missed my aorta by about a centimetre.

I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn't user friendly.

Maybe it wasn't the user interface after all.

Tl;dr:

  • PhotoPrism: Local AI with strong privacy but heavier setup.
  • LibrePhotos: Same, but less polished, more community-built.
  • Immich: Best self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
  • Ente Photos: E2E encrypted, low-maintenance, most "plug and play"

although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that's in a safe zone

That's why they don't care.

Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

And they'll keep "outrunning" climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

*At which point, they'll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.

There is a viable alternative to the problems raised by Bill Gates in his irate letter to computer hobbyists concerning "ripping off" software. When software is free, or so inexpensive that it's easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won't be "stolen".

The last two paragraphs are tangentially about the fire, and don't engage with the anger at all - which was the subject of the headline.

It's like I was watching a news segment where they stop reporting and cut to a talking head who started analyzing political responses to the fire.

How much Chinese companies are donating to relief efforts and the political parallels of an election being delayed (covid before, the fire now) are tangentially related, but in my opinion, that's no longer focused on "Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 years".

Yep. What's considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you're used to.

It's why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.

I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn't have that reputation.

Have you tried the box it came in?

And then they bring you steak with bees because the server's new and she doesn't quite understand the kitchen shorthand yet.

Hate when that happens.
