This sounds like you were harassing a volunteer dev that had an actual direct interaction with a corporation based on hearsay and they rightfully blocked a troll that wasn’t contributing anything meaningful or constructive to the project.
Not OP, but I have similar feelings and they have nothing to do with the client or plugins. If I can’t easily and securely share my Jellyfin with the Internet beyond my LAN without resorting to a VPN, then Jellyfish is not going to come close to replacing Plex. Sharing my library securely with tech illiterate family and any browser I have access to, without modification, was the one and only reason I moved away from XBMC/Kodi and installed Plex in the first place. Jellyfin is fine inside my LAN and for my personal use, totally fails at hosting.
Who hasn’t wanted at one time to buy $37 worth of burrito?
What Mexican $37 or American $37?
Yes.

Sorry, hard to tell sometimes. I was afraid that I was too intentionally vague at first.
That’s literally the answer though. They used electricity to process aluminum in a new way and much much much more cheaply than was possible before.
That’s an argument to be made, but I don’t believe that is true at all. Sending one car to check on the safety/welfare of one active threat seems an entirely reasonable balance of risk. An unverified active threat is not at all the same as a confirmed active threat. That should be obvious simply by the existence of “swatting” as a common term and act these days.
It is not the duty of police to protect people from eminent harm, they have argued this themselves in court. Their job is strictly punitive, again an argument they have made in court many times. They only pretend to “protect and serve” when it suits their agenda of justification for their over inflated budgets. This isn’t a public safety issue. It’s a class warfare issue.
It has nothing to do with the type of media and everything to do with the file system being used by Windows, FAT.
I’ve been there. It’s hard. Please continue to be idealistic about the potential of people. Balancing hope against grounded expectations is a worthy goal though.
If you (not you specifically) already believe that you are a good person, will you continue to work to be a good person? I know that for me, I feel better believing that I am not actually good, but that I’m trying to be. I feel that holding on to that idea will serve me best. And it doesn’t hurt to remember that other people are also often just trying to be that better person in their own way (or at least I hope most are, some obviously don’t consider it at all). Of course people will disagree about what that looks like for themselves and others. Empathy isn’t an end or a given, it’s constant work.
You’ve never really spent much time with infants and young children have you? Empathy is a skill we learn in order to survive in our social system. It is not something we are born with. We are born as bundles of pure self without any sense of other things as independent things that exist even when we can’t perceive them (let alone other independent selves like us). As we mature, empathy is a choice we cultivate in our selves. I may believe that most people are basically good (or want to be good) and everyone has the potential to be good, but no one is born “good”. When we are born, good and bad are concepts that have no meaning to us beyond what is good or bad specifically and only for ourselves.
Whataboutism is an easy logical fallacy to fall into. Art being supported by rich patrons isn’t exactly a modern new thing. And brands are kind of inherent in the fashion industry anyway. This kind of art may not be my thing or your thing, but it’s still art, and still VERY different than demeaning gossip around gender stereotypes.
Admiring artistic fashion choices by people that often make other kinds of popular art and denouncing the reactions of misogynists attempting to demean and dehumanize those artists simply because they are women are two VERY different things. What’s sadder is your “both sides” reaction to a clearly toxic attitude vs. people exhibiting art through fashion.
The song wasn’t worried that the drink would make you sick. The song is about common items being used to treat a variety of aliments. Scurvy? Eat a lime. Headache, probably from dehydration or low electrolytes? Coconut water will fix that. Hungover? Coconut water and lime is actually a great tasting way to start feeling a little better. This song is like the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” with a catchy island beat.
Also, if you’re not already familiar with Harry Nilsson. Go check out his stuff. Great singer and song writer. His music in the movie “The Point” absolutely shaped my perspective on the world as a child and it’s themes continued to resonate throughout my life.
Difficult to do it in a way that is physically consistent with a camera lens/sensor.
That’s really not true at all. Lots of photo software has precise metrics on a multitude of actual camera lenses specifically to compensate (remove) for the inherent optical properties of said lenses. Using those same metrics to mimic the optical properties of those lenses, rather that remove them, is also fairly common. The optical properties of the sensors are obviously also well known, otherwise digital photography simply wouldn’t work. This photo may or may not be AI, but the existence of blurring neither proves nor excludes either possibility.
This is why the fuck: american football evolved from Association Football (soccer) and rugby. Americans didn’t take over the name, the names for each version of the “ball game on a field with goals at either end” developed from different regional slang as each sport evolved and grew into popularity in their respective places. Each of those sports developed various shortened or slang versions of their name. Rugby was really Rugby football. Association football became soccer, a term coined in London and adopted by Americans. Gridiron football evolved from both and become what Americans just called football.
More like by design for an LTS release.
This was great. For an encore, can you write an eloquent defense of American milk chocolate. American Cheese is to the grilled cheese sandwich, as Milk chocolate is to s’mores.

I was just saying that your own description of events made you sound like a troll. I don’t know the truth of the matter and frankly it’s irrelevant. If they are working closely with Apple, those kinds of comments on what I assume was their own public forum are an unhelpful distraction at best and potentially detrimental to their corporate relationship with Apple. You could be %100 correct about Apple and the devs could %100 agree with your sentiment, but that doesn’t mean that the social media forum they host is an appropriate place for that kind of discussion. It’s not helpful for them and only has the potential to make their situation worse. They blocked you and moved on so they could focus on the project instead of the noise. Even if your intentions were good (and I do actually believe you meant well) I understand why they did what they did.
