What a fantastic piece by a really good author. Worth reading in its entireity, long as it is.

Im not certain about lemmy communities but look up plexshares or jellyfin shares in reddit perhaps?

Also while I do agree money complicates things, since you are the purchaser, typically it carries less risk.

In either event stay away from shares that do not offer a cheap (few days) or free trial. Then again never sign up for “lifetime” bs, go on a monthly plan so you can drop them if the QoS drops.

Yes. Youll have to find one that works for your region though (local servers will have better latency and b/w)

Birthrates are not plummeting to zero, if thats what youre implying. As people get more educated, they tend to have fewer kids. No one is considering having “fewer” kids because of the childs lifetime GHG emissions

14 year account in the gutter. Exciting times ahead though.
