How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple?

You've got it the wrong way round. Jellyfin is simple. I've never understood Plex.

6 figure jobs are still common, but not at the entry level. The companies that used to offer such thing are taking that money and investing in AI, thinking that they won't need new blood.

They're wrong, but that's what's happening.

The thing with chemo is that it's pure poison.

It's cheap to run for one person. Any service running it isn't cheap when it has a good number of users.

I'm actually wondering if we're headed towards a deflationary event. I don't think the underlying customer base can support a lot of the prices now as wages have stayed well below inflation, plus I believe some of the inflation is artificial profit taking. Oil is half the price it was a few years ago, so transportation of goods should be a lot cheaper. Energy as a whole has been getting cheaper too as new renewable generation comes online, so those costs come down too.

The economists would think some deflation would be the worst thing ever, but the inflation spike of the last few years doesn't seem to have a solid foundation.

They do. You look at it every time you see the contents of your disk. It's just organised in a tree to make path based lookups fast and locate organises its database differently to make fast basename lookups.

One problem is that quite a lot of left leaning people support this. Certainly in the UK the Labour Party has been paternalistic for a long time, thinking that the public are not able to look after themselves when it comes to having liberties. On issues like this there's little between labour and Tories, with them swapping places quite frequently.

We haven't had a socially liberal government in 70 years at least.

Wikipedia's case was odd. They tried to fight that the act was illegal rather than them being caught by it was wrong (good for them), but did so by arguing that the Minister was uninformed and acted irrationally, which is a non starter.

The judge said that they can still contest whether they should be caught by the act. It sounded like the judge felt they'd have a decent case.

I've got a 12. I really like it.

Get a DIY one and put your own memory and SSD in it. You'll save £$\€ over the framework prices for those. I paid about £750 total for my maxed out 48GB/2TB one. Then slap something like Fedora on it and you're good to go.

I got a Lenovo slim pen 2 as the framework stylus isn't out yet. Pairing required holding the buttons for ages, but works great after that.

It's a settlement and not a ruling, so anything agreed will be a one off cost of doing business.

How about we get a fucking ruling against these companies? A settlement doesn't create a precedent.

Who cares? Nobody else is fighting this crap.
