I switched to Emby earlier this year and never looked back. All the core features are solid. And it works great on my AppleTV.

Ads “destroyed” TV. Streaming only became popular because it meant no fucking ads. Now ads are destroying streaming. Circle of capitalist life, I suppose.

WD/SanDisk have completely gone to shit. I’d go with Seagate. I have a bunch of IronWolf Pro drives that have been fast and reliable.

“But we can’t possibly implement universal healthcare, how would we pay for it?”

They own some of their servers and rent others. From their FAQ:

All of our VPN servers are encrypted and are either owned by us or dedicated servers that we rent.

• Our rented servers are all dedicated, meaning they are not shared with anyone else. We do not use virtual servers.

• With the servers that we own, we have physical control over these, which means they tend to be faster and more secure.

When connecting, you can filter to only show owned servers.

Mullvad all the way

I agree with the sentiment, but if Mint and Pop needed too much tinkering for OP, a hackintosh out of his Nvidia laptop would be out of the question, I assume.

Don’t worry! They’ll keep voting against any and all environmental protection measures and against their own interests. And when the leopard eats their faces, they’ll just blame the libs, immigrants, China or whatever the en vogue boogeyman is at the time. And everything will be right as rain.

Absolutely! Shitty, entitled tourists are everywhere and hail from everywhere. It’s part of the reason travelling is such a pain nowadays.

Not a horrible place to be stuck, though. Pop!_OS is pretty great. I run it on my media server and it’s been rock solid. I definitely wouldn’t mind running it on an old laptop.

Ones I’ve personally heard:

• parking (either insuficient or too tight)

• speed of service in restaurants

• “why don’t they speak english?!”

• accessibility for the disabled (this one is actually pretty fair, but it’s also very hard to fix)

Edit, PS: the lack of public toilets is also a fair complaint. It’s also a pretty common one, even in New York and London. Amsterdam comes to mind as a decent counter-example, at least for men. There are urinals strewn about most everywhere in the city.

It won’t. They’ll still visit in droves and complain about the parking.

I guess you might be hearing it movies set in New York City, which is in the southern tip of the state of New York. All the other notable cities, the Catskill mountains, Niagara Falls, and other attractions are all further north, or upstate. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the expression got picked up by a wider crowd to mean “north”.
