  • In my -admittedly limited - experience, the bast majority of people are nice, good people. Doesn’t matter where they come from, what the color of their skin is, what their culture is, most people are decent and just want to make it through the day. Just the other day I was in a city where a football world cup match was playing and the streets were filled to the brim with people from all countries, all walks of life, all partying together. I saw 10 people from every “color” and gender and what not, all playing “keep the ball up”. Everyone was wearing a T-shirt from a different country and it didn’t matter, everyone was there to enjoy themselves.

    Its usually a tiny portion of narcissistic assholes with psychopathic tendencies that feel the need to get more money, more power, who always end up pushing bullshit like this. It’s always a form of “I want more wealth or power so if I make another minority group look bad, I can divide and conquer and become even bigger!”

    I think that if we simply remove the option to become super powerful that things finally will turn around. That means world wide wealth caps for one, nobody richer than, say, ten million dollars, anything over that goes to taxes. And for two, it means also capping the power that politicians have.

    Once everyone is more or less equally powerful, and there are no more incentives to push for more wealth, that 1% if you will, will no longer have the power to push those narratives that one is better than the other, they won’t be able to spread lies as easily anymore and why even try if you can’t get rich or powerful anymore?

    I think that is the thing that will turn this around for humanity, we need to stop the rich and powerful








  • The campaign of extreme violence against Palestinians broke Israeli and international law, put Israel’s security at risk, isolated the country internationally and fuelled antisemitism around the world, they said.

    They’re not wrong. Israel and the IDF have been the main drivers for anti-Semitism world wide

    Also, I would not find “stopping” enough. Netanyahu and his Gubbels buddy and a all those that commited atrocities must be sent to the ICC, and stolen lands must be returned and major reconstruction support funding, and official appologies must be offered for me to feel like they’re really trying to be better. Just “well let’s stop” is not enough. Israel needs it Neurenberg moment, ironically


  • Awesome!

    Always great to see updates on this and hopefully hopefully finally it gets to the point where it can compete with Netflix for my wife… I have a nice library but she refuses to use jellyfin (on Google TV device) because well, too many bugs, too many broken features still. Soon though!

    I for one would love to finally see that scrubbing with thumbnail images work, like Netflix does. Supposedly it’s been there for years now but it never once worked for me

    Also improvement in subtitles would be nice, it’s still a headache to get subtitles to work well, even though it’s a lot better than before

    The UI (at least on Google TV) really should be improved as well, it is almost impossible to nicely look for movies with larger libraries. I want to watch a comedi movie, let’s see what I have? Go to movies, which get this weird in between screen where I have to select by genre, name, and a few other options. Okay, select genre. Then I get rows for each genre and each row has tiny icons for each of the hundreds of movies all on one row, sorted alphabetically… so I scroll, and scroll and scroll and… well, scroll some more and 20 seconds later, I’m at “B”

    I’d hope to be able to say something like "show me Comedy movies, and I have a full screen grid of all Comedy movies where I can oder by name, year, etc… maybe sub filtering? And I’d like much MUCH bigger icons

    Anyways, not trying to complain, just hoping I can one day actually give my wife the remote and that she watches whatever she wants to watch. The current UI is ready for power users like me, but not the average user yet
