Yeah it's not about not paying for me, it's about being able to host my own with my protections and controls

And yet even DVDs have a bullshit screen about "license to the content blah blah" and bullshit like region codes

Propaganda for what though?

"Hey, look at this guy with the screaming controller, he's so awesome for that" ?

More that it's funny to imagine that this feature was a deliberate pick from the CEO.

I mean, the choice to have the controller scream when dropped might have been something Gabe cooked up

That's because they follow the Capitalist Bible

Also, Plex controls the login/authentication through their portal, and can also receive data back from your host regarding the content being shared/watched.

Jellyfin is 100% locally configured accounts

The fourth kid with a fish head and horse torso that is just sitting at the bottom of the lake brooding...

Yeah, "weak demand" is a bullshit argument. It's "hey, I'd love to build a new PC but I can't fucking afford half the components anymore so I'm not getting any"

It's a trope, but it's also supposedly "well known" that men are horny bastards who think with their dicks... yet somehow we have these the two very opposing scenarios.

Personally, despite a rather distinct lack of interest from the "fairer sex" prior to college, I found that plenty of women were more interested in sex than me in later years and not particularly subtle about it, which was actually off-putting as I wanted a relationship with a bit more substances. A lot of guys I know were in the same boat. Sex was easy. Finding somebody who actually wanted to do activities together was quite hard.

Any listing that went up before the official release date should automatically be flagged and removed

It's a neat idea, but comes back to some of the same issues we already have: the market is dominated by a few large corps, actual property costs a lot, freight and distribution costs are still a thing and disproportionately affect smaller operations more, and shelf space is limited.

We do have a small store in the neighborhood within 15 minutes walk, that suffers from pretty much all of the above.

Yeah, frozen groceries aren't going to make it home unspoiled if I bike down and up the significant hills between my place and Costco, and because of the way the buses work it's also a 1-2h trip each way instead of a 10-15m drive so that's not really viable either.

I also can't see myself carrying the 2x4x10's or slats for my fence replacement on the car.

Biking to work is somewhat more of an option, though the way back does need to deal with the aforementioned massive hill so in that case I'd rather go down by bike and up by bus.
