You're moving the goalposts from the context of the thread.

I don't think the numbers are meant to be literal.

You're disputing a phone being a necessity.

My banking and bill paying is basically online only. It's not obligatory but it's far, far more convenient online.

So, not a necessity.

Debit cards still exist but they are being phased out slowly in favor of NFC.

Not a necessity (and I expect by "phased out" you mean you see them less).

To board transport I can still use a card but recharging it is easier via an app than by standing in line at a machine where I'd have to pay with a card or cash.

Not a necessity.

At work we often communicate via group chats. It's quicker and less intrusive than phoning or emailing. I don't love it but I'm accustomed.

I assume you have a work device and this is during work hours? If so, not a necessity.

To pay taxes or fines to report to the city that a tree branch fell to consult my property tax info or medical records or to get an appointment for minor surgery - it's all easiest or only possible online.

Easiest = not a necessity.

You've just detailed things that _you_ find more convenient to do on your phone and that you are able (and encouraged) to do. But not one of them appears to require a phone, or - outside of your specific job - even internet.

For anyone playing along at home, a "check" is the bill.

It took me quite a while to work out who was checking on the QR code.

And now Musk might try to use it for his own political and financial agenda. If that risk is serious, running twitter into the ground might be the most ethical thing an employee could do.

I try not to flame here, but that viewpoint may actually be insane.

It's a job. You're not changing the world. If you don't like the politics of the CEO, leave.

You're not a freedom fighter. Real people in the world are actually fighting for their lives, their freedoms and the right to eat and live in dignity. Literally hundreds of millions. None of those people are based in Silicon Valley.

Because that's your job? The contract is money for work. If you no longer wish to do it due to external circumstances, leave.

Who is dying by their sword?

If they thing they ever made the world a better place, they're delusional. This seems common in silicon valley though.

If you're being paid to do a job, do it. If you no longer want to do it, quit. It's pretty simple.

Since when is "not being a dick and doing the job you're paid to do" blnd devotion?

The iOS app is open source, so you are welcome to contribute a PR: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-expo

It's maintaned by a single developer in his spare time, so I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

This is not the case on iOS. It is possible in Safari however.

I am excited it seems it'll be official soon, but it's been on the homebrew channel a long time:

It's been available for a very long time from the homebrew app list.

I only have to curate maybe 1/200 shows or movies. Radarr/Sonarr do that for me, and very well. Filebot works out that 1/200 for me, I just have a folder I dump to, and a containerised version sees it and fixes it.

I spent many hours previously curating, but as a human it's very inefficient when IMDB, TheTVDB, etc all have the info you need and can almost always get it right.

I run a Jellyfin server, but I also run a Plex server for my non tech friends or friends already invested in Plex. You can have both.

I also knew him from then, back in my days of administering thousands of macs, his roles were a godsend.

Now I see him here all the time doing cool stuff with Pis and drives. I hope I bump into him one day, as our interests heavily cross, and he seems like a really nice guy.

What are you talking about?

Tasmania has had significant hydro since 1895, is currently 80% hydro powered and is 100% renewable (and aiming for 200%, to increase green supply to the mainland).

It's possible to be passionate about technology while being young, female and prosocial.

Absolutely it is. However there's no evidence that she is at all.

Hell, she's expressing herself using the technology platform most popular with her generation.

That's an interesting take. Most people would say the _social media_ platform most popular. I know a lot of people who use social media extensively, and it doesn't appear to correlate with a passion for tech. Does your experience differ?

Whilst I don't disagree that sometimes this view is a jealous misogynistic one, I disagree with "almost always". I suspect you've seen the behaviour enough though that you're expecting it and looking for it.

This women having no identifiable technical skillset is a fair reason to question her. It would also be in a man. If you can indicate otherwise (rather than just hand wavey "this is misogyny"), I an very open to being proven wrong.

Good for you, but you appear to have missed the point entirely. The GP isn't arguing people should go back, just picking from the air an example (likely amongst many) why the person is a poor people manager.

With 2 billion DAY, odds are yes, you do. If you don't, you're likely the outlier here.

You understand both Tiktok and Facebook operate in the global market, right? Only about 10% of Facebook's DAUs are in the USA.

Neither of the things you mentioned have any impact on 90% of Facebook's users.

You really should read the article before posting.

What you find annoying is empowering tons of people like me to run lot of software.

In what way does _only_ having a docker install option empower you?

GP wasn't stating that docker is bad, but docker _only_ options are bad.

There are many use cases that are not yours that docker doesn't suit.

The use case there for containers is both obvious and compelling, and his comment shows that he has zero understanding of the space.

I think this is more reflective of you, than him.

The technologies he's discussing drive (often in a poor, bloated way) most containers, and are the underlying components. Learning to self host with containers is fine until you want to customise beyond the ENV variables, or fix a bug and not have to wait on the maintainer, etc, etc.

Containerisation _is_ a recent tech, and it sticking around in the future _is_ debatable. I'm old enough to recall Red Hat (not EL)/Fedora kickstart being the thing that will never be replaced.

The thing that likely won't go away is the underlying infrastructure (nginx, apache, etc) that are worth knowing if you self host.

I just opened up the product page for "Cloudflar Zero Trust", which is full of CxE fuzz speak. It seems to be a hosted VPN?

So your solution for self hosting is to use a VPN not self hosted?

For the non Americans:

A "sidewalk" is a footpath adjacent to a road.

A "curb cut" is ramp from footpath to road.

Wow, that's a pretty bullshit sounding response from tailscale. "We don't want to overcrowd the settings". It's ok to say "we'd prefer our users used our paid auth, rather than self host auth and use the fruits of our labour for the app". No need to be so opaque about it.

Can you please explain how you or any other third party (beyond my phone provider) can read my SMS at will?

Every other country has settled on either Telegram, WeChat, WhatsApp or FB Messenger, or other niche apps. These apps work on both iOS and Android and often also Windows. I haven't sent an SMS in probably 12 years. I don't know anyone who has.

This is a big call. I live in a country where SMS is still standard. Most communication with friends and family is done by it.

Can you please provide a source?

Indeed. That difference is the unncessary additional work in supporting it.

In some countries (Australia for example), the horse came _before_ the cart.
