Japan worked because of what happened as they rebuilt the country after the violence. They were lucky the US needed a counter to the communist movement spreading in Asia. Post-WW1 Germany is a strong counterpoint example that shows violence begets violence.

Guess we’re gonna get COVID-26 when China downplays yet another pandemic.

Do you have a link? I don’t think a screenshot can be considered a source.

They sure like waving their sticks an awful lot in the South China Sea and pissing off all their neighbours though. And in some cases outright hostile. The US needs to be strong to keep China at bay and the reverse needs to be a true, a weaker US will let China get even more belligerent and as someone who’s a neighbour of the Chinese, it’s not a good sight to see.

I’m. More surprised there wasn’t one already.

They actually have quite a bunch of programmes to bring foreigners in. That’s not to say that the cultural issues aren’t there but that’s a separate problem regarding integration rather than immigration.

As someone living in Asia, the US losing influence is a really scary thing. China has been increasing their aggression in the region and the US’s presence has always been the counter to that. It was a good balance but a weaker US will tip the balance to China’s favour. Not to mention that the US has been a key factor in getting Korea and Japan to work together on security matters. Unfortunately, there’s no EU or NATO equivalent for us to rely on.

It’s not currently my own jellyfin server but I am looking to set up one soon. Thanks for the huge write up though, it’ll be very helpful when I eventually get to it. So far whenever I searched it up, I just found a lot of complaints on GitHub with not much solutions, so I really appreciate it.

Is there some trick to get it to work properly? Everytime I tried to use it, it works fine for like 10 minutes and then everyone desyncs to hell.

It’s still better than Plex’s which didn’t work at all though.

Not sure why you’re trying to invalidate the experiences of people in my region and me but sure whatever makes you happy.

Is there a newer method? I had to install Ubisoft Connect recently and it’s still somewhat tedious having to set up all the Proton settings manually.

Agreed. It’s hard to believe anyone still recommends Asus after the whole GN debacle.

If you’re in Asia, that debacle is a non-issue. Their support in Asia has been great for me. I’m on the Steam Deck camp but they’re still my go to for gaming laptops.

Same here, it’s strange because within my social circles no one talks about them. I only ever use them for the custom menus but that’s pretty much about it. Generally people seem to like using it on shooters but I’ve tried it and still prefer to play shooters with a mouse on my PC. Only ever play more controller friendly games on my Deck so it’s not a big deal to me either.
