Fantastic to have more selection! I love Findroid but its good to have alternatives!

Edit: downloaded it from Github but cannot connect to my server with same credentials I use in the official app, hm.

Edit2: OK, others have same issue https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/issues/12

Edit3: they just released a fix

fix(android): Support for un-secure plaintext authentication (HTTP) logins

So I will test it again tonight when I have time.

Haven't used Kodi but am running Jellyfin via the official docker image on a Raspberry Pi 4. Even there transcoding works reasonably well for one user at a time, admittedly didn't try with several users at the same time so far.

Just mentioning the docker image because I used to install it without docker directly via the repository and I never got transcoding to work on the same hardware.

Eeeeh, yes and no. Selective population distribution maybe. Just look at Africa or India.

It is a bit weird to pick Sweden for that example because you do have to pay for dental care yourself too. There are some subsidies of course, but it isn't abnormal to pay the equivalent of 100 EUR for a visit, even if its just to clean teeth from toothstone.

I got scammed a few times when the hygienist or dentist just told me they really need to show me how to properly brush and then I get charged another 50 EUR just for that. Without them telling me beforehand that this will cost extra.

Unless you are under 18 (or under 25?), then it is free at least. But really it should be free for all under general healthcare.

Source: me, I live here and its the example I used in my comment above.

At her teeth cleaning, they did an X-ray. She paid for none of it. “They really go above and beyond,” she says.

No, they really don't. This should be normal. Then again, dental care is privatised in a lot of countries who otherwise have "free" healthcare, so in a way a lot of people are in the same boat as Americans. Ever since I moved to a country where I have to pay for every dental treatment I find myself distrusting the dentists opinion if that procedure really is necessary or not. They profit directly from it, why not add some stuff that's not needed? Considering how important your teeth are for your quality of life, I hate to be in that situation.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 3 months ago

I think you may need to add some more slur placeholders in there, but yes.

It is pretty entertaining though, isn't it? Like, this is the closest we will ever get to the movie Hackers, but in real life.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Exactly. A lot of jokes and scenes have no punchline, I am not sure why, but that's how they work.

No plans now.

Let's just float the idea again in a few years and see how much backlash it then produces...
