I know how voting works. What point were you trying to make?

If you’ve signed in to a MS account you have your bitlocker encryption key and won’t lose any data.

and forced obsolescence refers to Win11 blocking everything prior to Zen+ and Coffee Lake

Because Win11 uses features that that hardware doesn’t have. Win10 is still there and still works. You can’t stop progress forever.

and not all people are comfortable with having to sign up for an online account just to install their OS and would rather make a local account if possible;

Sure, but most are fine with it especially with the benefits it brings. For older people it’s an absolute godsend, as all their files are automatically backed up to onedrive and accessible on any computer.

Also, I didn’t know local backups of your data ala simply copying it to an external drive at the minimum, weren’t an option that existed anymore. sarcasm

What are you talking about?

Not really doing too well there either, are you?

Neither the ALP or LNP are prepared to do what needs to be done in terms of immigration. I didn’t vote for the ALP or LNP.

No, the democrats do not install Biden loyalists

hahahaha

They do not hire staff that are without any formal education or without significant qualifying experience for important roles

hahahahahahahahaha

Almost 30, so you’ve voted what, 3 times? Yeah you’re new to this politics thing.

Idk about you but most people have decades of mortgages, so a couple decades is normal.

So you can afford a property with a mortgage now, or you will be able to get a mortgage “in a couple of decades”? Pretty significantly different things.

Ok so by the sounds of it youre way out where the cost of living increases havent been dramatic, neither has the house price issue. So you’re an outlier and not really representative of the majority. It’s a fact that the majority are struggling now more than ever, that there is a cost of living crisis, that there is a housing crisis, that there is a power price crisis. Even labor acknowledge this. They just won’t take any blame and keep saying that they’re the only ones that will fix it…with policies that make it worse.

Who was first on the list? After 4 years of death camps from 2016-2020 and now another 100 days, we’d surely be pretty far down the list right? At least past…1? Or even up to 1 by now?

Yeah the best solution is to definitely just keep voting for the same people who have been in charge for decades and have overseen it get worse and worse. No other options at all.

Australia has a strong sense of community? That’s being eroded every day. Our sense of community is being taken away in favour of “multiculturalism” and making sure every immigrants cultures and religions are respected, at the expense of our own identity and community.

They aren’t making it harder, my pay has gone up over $1/h because of my award and being casual

And your costs have gone up significantly more than $1/h.

am pretty confident that I’ll be able to buy a house where I live without a big deal in a couple decades.

WITHIN A COUPLE OF DECADES and you’re saying that like it’s a great thing!?

My electricity hasn’t changed a whole lot

That doesn’t match what the actual electricity prices and all reports say, so your situation is likely an edge case of shared bills and/or a battery system already exists.

You sound like you’re young, right? Late teens/early twenties?

Step 5, recover password?

That’s what the online MS account is for - your BitLocker encryption key is stored on your account that you can access from any web browser.

It’s rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you.

X.

If anything they’re more empowered here if they lean the right way politically (which is a hard left), because the mods are even more militant in their banning due to wrongthink here.

The task was to tell you the difference. It told you the difference, it was just wrong about the differences. Giving an incorrect answer to a task is still doing the task.

It’s very likely that the Democrats are the fucking reason people WANT to be there.

More Americans left California between 2023 and 2024 than any other state across the country, according to new data released by the Census Bureau.

The Golden State lost a total of 239,575 residents to other states, the largest net domestic migration loss in the country over the past year. New York, another blue bastion in the country, saw the second-highest loss, losing a total of 120,917 residents between 2023 and 2024.

Guess where they moved to on average?

Citation needed.

No citation needed. They’ll either do it one day or the software will languish behind in obscurity.

Anyway, what’s wrong with being left behind?

Nothing I guess, other than the competition getting further and further ahead and your users leaving for them.

We’re not in a race, so I don’t understand how we could get left behind.

You definitely are. JellyFin doesn’t exist in a vaccuum. You might not feel like its competition, but the jellyfin software competes with all the other media streaming software out there.

We literally currently have a federal government taking US citizens from their homes and sending them to prison in a foreign nation they’ve never been to before, for simply criticizing Israel.

No US citizens have been taken as far as I’m aware?

I always see this and I have to ask: why do you care?

Because OP is scared of losing their users because of their incorrect thinking that Plex was requiring them all to buy a remote streaming pass, so clearly OPs goal is to not lose their users, right?

OP asked, we’re answering. That’s kinda the whole point of this thing called Lemmy. We don’t care per se, we’re just telling OP our opinions and thoughts on their questions and proposed solutions.

Have to agree with the other comment that asks why do you need to use a vpn. Fax

If you don’t use a VPN you’re putting yourself at risk. There’s no real way around it with Jellyfin, as others have said.

I find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits

You are very, very naive and uneducated on what bad actors do on the internet then. Basically any popular service that exposes a port to the internet WILL have bots scanning for that port specifically.
