  • People are lazy. Getting people to sign up for a forum has a much MUCH higher inertia than just clicking join in a group on a platform they already have an account for.

    People will subsequently evidently just “deal” with it’s inadequacies.

    Reddit has the same advantage, you have one account and subsequently have access to a billion and then some communities. Ditto for Discord versus self hosted solutions like Teamspeak.

    Lemmy kind of adresses all of this, but actual forum software I think is still mostly the same as it was in the early to mid 2000’s when I used it. It’s demise is a shame but not a surprise.




  • I hope we give a real advisory and just straight up mark the country yellow, possibly orange for anybody not hetro or white instead of just telling people to “check visa requirements” so papa US doesn’t get angry…

    Mexico’s been yellow with orange area’s for years while crime rates in some area’s are totally comprable.

    They are losing it and we’d to well to remember there are more weapons there per capita there than we have bicycles.

    (The scale is green, yellow, orange, red, for those that don’t know what i’m on about. Green obviously meaning (relatively) safe, and red essentially being a warzone.)


  • Not sure where this is coming from but people are not only refused entry. People are detained. Even with valid documentation, evidently.

    Germany also revised their travel advisories to reflect the fact you can basically arbitrarily be detained.

    They don’t issue these kinds of advisories for countries with normal visa procedures where nothing of note happens…

    Your rant seems somewhat out of place.



  • So lazyness is the real answer. ;) This is fair enough, to be sure, but logically I continue to have problems with it when looking solely at the wife factor.

    My wife sets nothing up, that’s my area of expertise. My wife’s a user. This is true for Jellyfin but also things like our home automation that she very much enjoys but has no clue to how I made work on a technical level. She just taps things in the Home Assistant app as desired and things happen.

    I would also argue setting up Jellyfin, though more a complex proposition as Plex, is a lot easier then setting up things like an *arr strack or ripping the media you eventually play back with it.

    Plex does very little in a vacuum so despite it being easier to set up, it would be equally unlikely she ever would.
