Tl;dr:
although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone
That’s why they don’t care.
Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).
Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.
And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.
At which point, they’ll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.
There is a viable alternative to the problems raised by Bill Gates in his irate letter to computer hobbyists concerning “ripping off” software. When software is free, or so inexpensive that it’s easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won’t be “stolen”.

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.
We still have those?
I thought they all went into tech*.
Last horror story I heard was that Korean Telegram sex abuse/blackmail ring.
It’s a Wikipedia article, but the whole thing is NSFL.
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.
I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)
If the key doesn’t unlock features, what does it unlock?
Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a “Supporter” tag next to your name on the app settings?
The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don’t change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it’s a valid question.
What does the $100 server key unlock (besides “supporter status”), since features aren’t paywalled?
The post on… the opensource Lemmy community for self hosters. Is that the one you’re talking about?
The marketing claims it’s “a gift for your family”.
Not a single comment in that first link mentions family members using it.
Here are the comments from the “people listing their use cases” you mentioned:
My issue isn’t the app itself or it’s users.
It’s the claim that it’s “a gift for your family”.
Who do you think you’re stealing it from? The bank?
So this Thanksgiving, give your family the gift of memories that last forever!
What is this marketing?
I cannot imagine a single person who would want this for Thanksgiving.
Most people under the age of 30 use social media now to “preserve memories”.
The people who care about journaling probably have physical paper journals and wouldn’t want an app.
And the people who would want an app… would probably already have installed this themselves.
They’re not asking whether it’s literally true.
They’re asking why it feels like there’s less.
That’s a subjective, but still valid question.
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.
suggest doctors
Which doctors??
I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn’t user friendly.
Maybe it wasn’t the user interface after all.
