Thinking nothing more wonky than mint/pop!/bazzite/elementary. I know there is never “one” perfect one but feeling like trying something new on this machine that’s at least somewhat push button. 
Since it no longer receive regular updates from Apple I just want to keep this machine available for use when needed.

I’m pretty comfortable on the above ones I mentioned. I’m not a coder/engineer so I tend to lean heavily on flatpaks and such, though if I have to go into the terminal occasionally I can usually poke my way around

It’s a bad bill but this guy is wrong. Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.

You know all the certs and security and port stuff you need to do? Plex does that. You just download the app, point it at your folders with media, and you’re all set both at your home and beyond it. There is no self hosted solution that is that turnkey. I really don’t understand how so many people don’t see the appeal of that. It makes quasi-selfhosting possible for people with far less technical knowledge than those of us here.

I could write a less than one page bullet point instruction and virtually anyone who knows how to work a desktop computer could get a server up and running in one or two hours tops. If they have any computer experience, more like 30 minutes.

What’s more, people with literally no computer knowledge can easily open the app and watch your stuff. They just make an account, download the app, and they’re off to the races. TV, tablet, doesn’t matter. There is no self hosted solution that is nearly as streamlined as Plex. I say this as somebody who likes jellyfin a lot. They are completely different experiences that require completely different levels of knowledge

I really hope Europe is going to give them the support they need to see this through.

Title says it all - all I see is a buildapcsales bot that scrapes Reddit. Would love to chat with folks about my budget and goals and get suggestions (if that community exists)

The fact that he could not tell them apart should be a huge fucking wake up call that we are all just human beings trying to live our lives. But sadly bigotry isn’t rational so they won’t come to a rational conclusion.

300k+ to work one of the most famous cases in the nation? You bet your ass lawyers are looking at that. No matter the outcome you’re a legend. You can’t buy that kind of PR/marketing.
