  • A lot of flatpaks early on wouldn't survive a major point release upgrade or worst case would hold on to dependencies and the user would end up with an unbootable mess after an upgrade.

    I haven't seen that recently though.

    However I regularly run appimages on my fedora silverblue system so take what I say with a grain of salt.

  • IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. More on that later in this update.

    I guess that's something.

    Gonna be a long slow explanation to my family and friends how to switch to jellyfin. Hopefully there's an app ecosystem there as well. I was lucky to get a lifetime pass way back in 2009 when I did some work for them. It's very different now.

  • Not in any appreciable manner. Most of the legislation is for the individual candidate not their party or lack thereof, however first pass the post devolves to a two party system by it's very nature. Add the Electoral college and the fact that primaries are run by the Political parties themselves, states run the elections with little to no federal standardization in voting and you get the current mess the US is in.

    This isn't considering the influence money/corporations/billionaires have with SuperPACs nor the vote suppression. The cluster is sufficiently fucked.

  • That doesn't seem to be born out in policy or the media though....

    Here is an article written back in 2024 where support for tax cuts for the rich (which is part of why Flood got shouted down at the town hall) is dubios and some Republican state representatives call dubious benefit if you project the Nebraskan budget to 2027....

    I'm not saying that all Nebraskans even know about any of this, but the frothing evil hate mongering voters you're referring to, don't seem to be the majority. They exist, and they're loud, but they're not the sole voting population of Nebraska. And frankly I agree with you. Nebraska deserves better. We all deserve better.

    I'm happy Flood got shouted down and I hope there are more public demonstrations decrying what's been rotting at the core of this country. Billionaires hoarding wealth and creating massive inequality intersectionally throughout the whole of society.

  • You deserve to be there or they wouldn't have hired you. You work with smart people who know their shit. They wouldn't have you there if you didn't contribute.

    However remember that as soon as it starts to get bad jump ship or form a union. You only matter until that tiny company gets bought up by another larger company....like Amazon.

    With the impending financial crisis expect there to be a lot of "consolidation" in the market.
