I’ve been using jellyfin for like 7-9 years and have never had that happen lol.

edit: apparently jellyfin hasn’t existed that long so I must have been using it since the day it came out 😂 I know I started using it the moment Plex took apps or plugins or whatever it was and made them paid. I realized it was being enshittified and immediately left.

Don’t give a reason, they’ll just say it’s not a problem. Just say no

I’ve never met anyone who acted like this, nor even seen someone on the internet complaining about it, besides reviews in movie sections. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen, it’s just I believe that you’re probably seeing a vanishingly small portion of society do this.

they’re also completely ignoring the ongoing (environmental) costs of operating a gas vehicle compared to an EV. Even if initial costs might be higher, they are almost immediately paid off, sometimes as soon as six months of driving.

They are cleaner. The EPA literally calls this “Myth #2” because so many people like you repeat it ad nauseam. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth2

here are some more links: https://www.cotes.com/blog/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-ev-vs-ice-vehicles https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/01/do-electric-cars-have-problem-mining-for-minerals https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/are-electric-vehicles-definitely-better-climate-gas-powered-cars

David Bott, the head of innovation at the Society of Chemical Industry, said: “The real thing people forget is once it has been mined, you will end up being able to reuse 80-90% of the metals. You don’t have to go back to the planet to steal more minerals.”

funny quote from one of them:

And the alternative will not mean less mining. Caspar Rawles, the chief data officer at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said: “It always makes me laugh. OK, the mining of EV [materials] is harmful. Where do you think your car now comes from?”

the article points out that due to norway not having a major automobile manufacturer, there was pretty much no lobbying against the laws, so that’s a bit of a tick in the opposite direction. the US has numerous very powerful lobbies making it as hard as possible to pass these laws.

please clarify what you are saying.

electric cars were invented in the 1830s… They’re literally older than gas vehicles.

Do you mean WWIII?

Hmm I feel like Mlem works exactly like Apollo did and you never even have to notice you’re using the fediverse.

They will be reasonable to extract as the globe warms more

Like the other user said, this is clearly a problem if you allow any platform to exist. Let’s take this to an extreme extent. Say a company invents a platform that is 100% addicting, because they’ve figured out how to mind control you. Watching a single video means you will never stop using the platform and you will say whatever the creators want. Clearly that shouldn’t be allowed to exist. Things that social media sites do approximate that. They manipulate users brains into doing things that they normally wouldn’t do. This is why regulation exists. Clearly my example is farcical, but it’s meant to explain why you don’t allow just anything to exist. As a society, certain things are more dangerous than others, and we regulate those things.

Clearly this ban isn’t about that, it’s about a Chinese government doing something that the US government only wants US companies to be able to do.

Mlem is a lot better than Voyager. Better features, faster, has fewer errors messages. At least for me.

Like everyone says. Brother. But just buy it used. You don’t need a new one. People are recommending them for a reason. They last.
