That could definitely play a part, but when it was going around I saw it on a bunch of android phones, iphones, and on my computer, and I could never see white and gold. Also, I could see the blue and black on the same device as a friend who saw white and gold

Interesting. I have never once seen the white/gold in the original photo, only blue/black.

I only ask because both that illusion and this one work only if people misinterpret the lighting. I'm curious to see if other people here have the same correlation

They all look right side up to me, I'm pretty sure the shadows make it so it can't look upside down, I can't get it even to appear that way at all. I'm curious OP, with the famous dress, did you see black and blue or white and gold?

Just know that if you are a manager, everyone is reacting out of obligation

I joined Plex after I already needed to have a login to plex.tv to be able to stream. I understand that that already was problematic, but Plex was leagues ahead of its competition in terms of ease of adding users, as well as polish. You must be forgetting how awful Jellyfin was in comparison, even just 5 years ago. I've been keeping up on Jellyfin and it's amazing how far they've come. Now Jellyfin has great theme options, a simple-to-install skip intro/outro plugin, an app option with built-in jellyseerr integration, decent collections support (still needs some work here on feature parity with Plex, but it's on the way) and with Wizarr, onboarding new users is as easy as sending an invite link, just like Plex. All this came in the last 5 years, and were pretty much requirements for my use cases.

Sure you can say that I'm picky, but Plex really was the best option until like, this year. I started to accept the need to switch when they added the social media aspect to it. They completely ignored what their users actually wanted. Since then, they've been making worse and worse decisions, which is crazy because now more than ever their competition has reached their level. Hell, by pushing all their users away, Plex is only going to accelerate the development on Jellyfin.

Top Gun was what I came here to say

The one time I used lua was to make a casino in Minecraft with the ComputerCraft mod like, over a decade ago. I enjoyed it. Even as a young lad I didn't like index from 1, though

Vast majority? Eh, maybe. I watch a crazy amount of anime, and I've only had a few of the shows I'm interested in pull that, and typically I just don't continue watching. The one trope that I really dislike that gets shoehorned into almost any anime is the over-infatuation of a sibling. I'm not talking incest or anything, but for some reason there's almost always a character who is obsessed with their sister/brother, and it weirds me out. Not enough to stop watching if the anime is otherwise good, but definitely enough to stop watching if the anime is just soso.

Now, oversexualization of adult characters? That's almost unavoidable. I tend to just ignore it, until I show an anime to someone who hasn't seen anime before and then I'm hyper aware of it. That's why when introducing people to anime I usually pick Death Note or Fullmetal Alchemist. These anime have a good dose of the anime goofiness, but very little fanservice, almost none.

I've really liked Ncuti as the doctor, I've liked the companions as well. I've liked a good bit of the overarching mysteries of the last season and this one. But as someone who grew up watching starting from Eccleston, and then went back to watch the original series, the only part of the new season I really dislike is the front and center focus of "Magic" villains. I understand that this was done a bit in the original series as well, but I disliked it there too. It really cheapens the entire narrative when the doctor can somehow overcome what are essentially gods with an almost unsurmountable level of power that doesn't have to be rooted in some sort of scifi explanation.

Obviously this is a personal opinion, and it does seem that the target audience has shifted a bit more mainstream (not that it was super niche before, it's just that stories now feel very surface-level), it just saddens me that a show I liked has taken a turn for the worse, narratively speaking. I'm still mostly enjoying these seasons, and their more grounded stories feel pretty similar to the 2005 series.

This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able

While I understand the sentiment, if they switch to SteamOS as a primary focus, what's the problem with buying someone else's handheld that's built to run SteamOS? There are already handhelds more performant than the Steam Deck out there, once they have official SteamOS support what's the difference? Don't get me wrong, I've actually bought an absurd number of Steam Decks so far for myself and for friends/family, but once they die, if there's no Steam Deck 2, I'll probably just pick up a handheld that is built specifically to run SteamOS

Right but just because you personally didn't like it doesn't mean it isn't a good comedy. I understand that you are now saying it's not something you personally care for, but your original comment was stating that it being bad was objectively true. Like, I can say that I think The Simpsons is a bad comedy, and I could provide a bunch of data to back it up but I can't say that The Simpsons is a bad comedy, because how did it get to 36 seasons in counting if people weren't enjoying it?
