Okay but change European to the whole continent.

I was excited at first, because I thought I could still chat with friends who won’t leave Discord.

Thanks for the archive link.

The last two paragraphs are tangentially about the fire, and don’t engage with the anger at all - which was the subject of the headline.

It’s like I was watching a news segment where they stop reporting and cut to a talking head who started analyzing political responses to the fire.

How much Chinese companies are donating to relief efforts and the political parallels of an election being delayed (covid before, the fire now) are tangentially related, but in my opinion, that’s no longer focused on “Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 years”.

Yep. What’s considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you’re used to.

It’s why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.

I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn’t have that reputation.

TL;Dr: They want the Hong Kong leader to focus on the renovation company’s possible corruption, not the bamboo that didn’t burn.

The Hong Kong leader responded to the fire by promising to replace (traditional Hong Kong) bamboo scaffolding with (mainland China) steel, because they’re claiming it might have been an accelerant.

Residents argue that this is a distraction (most of the bamboo is still standing) from the real issue: the company doing the renovation/maintenance seems shoddy/corrupt and should be investigated.

At this point, the article gets unfocused and jumps around a lot.

By the end, she’s talking about the upcoming elections being compromised by the Chinese government.

I set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.

My users don’t want to fiddle.

Who do you think you’re stealing it from? The bank?

Loving-kindness meditation is a practice that encourages you to extend compassion to yourself and then train it like a muscle to be extended further and further out.

Patriotism is love at the national level, but it doesn’t ask you to stop at the border (that’s nationalism).

People should be encouraged to love at the level they can sustain: self > friends & family > community > region > country (patriotism is here) > neighboring countries, etc > world.

Whoever came up with the idea of sharing them as a gmail-clone is a genius.
