It didn’t even look like Simon’s work to me. The Electric State as painted is very banal. “Sure robots and megastructures exist alongside us but I still have to go to work, or farm, or play in the fields as a kid, and so do some robots.”

Would love to see more of the developer providing good information for those laid off so other companies can more easily ingest possible hires.

I mean, if you look back to the framing of the constitution, the idea was that a bunch of citizen militias would be kept such that if the country needed defense, they would be able to respond. This was because the new United States lacked (and politically opposed) standing armies like the one which they just fought off the continent.

Since then, the United States acquired an Army, Navy, and Air Force alongside numerous National Guard units. The theoretical need for citizen militias vanished.

The real answer to your question is that we really don’t have citizens participating in “well-regulated militias.” Not from the constitutional context, anyway.

I agree, but having looked down this road, finding a quality external player that users will understand and is inexpensive is ... not easy.

Alright, so I have had Jellyfin installed for years now, but my primary issue is that most devices myself or my users use lack official, readily-available clients. For example, the Samsung TV app is a developer mode install. Last I looked, nobody has put a build into the store.

I really want to use Jellyfin, but I feel like my users simply can't. I'm interested in others' experiences here that could help.

My experience is that both Plex and Jellyfin pointed at the same media files causes no issues.
