  • While most Medicaid beneficiaries under age 65 are either Democratic or independent, 27 percent said they are Republican or lean Republican, including 19 percent who identify as Trump’s MAGA supporters, according to KFF.

    Among those GOP Medicaid recipients, the poll found three-quarters are worried that sweeping changes to the program would hurt their family’s ability to get and pay for care, and nearly 70 percent are concerned the cuts would lead to an increase in the uninsured and negatively impact providers.

    Overall, Democrats and independents were much more likely than Republicans to say they worry about potential negative consequences of Medicaid cuts. But nearly a third of Republicans and 26 percent of MAGA supporters who aren’t on Medicaid said they were concerned about their or their families’ own access to health care, the survey found.







  • Emby

    Jellyfin exists because Emby was only open source until it wasn’t convenient. Some of their own devs pointed out they were violating the license, and their response was… non-ideal.

    So Jellyfin was forked with the last fully open-source Emby code.

    At least that’s my recollection several years down the line.

    I decided then that no amount of headache from Jellyfin (and let me say that I was an EARLY jellyfin adopter AND former Plex user) would be enough to get me to use Emby. (Because things like that are important to me, though I realize they aren’t important to everyone.)

    And reading this thread I’m apparently a super-genius because I have my Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and serve it to my elderly parents with a simple login and an app they were able to install, and never found it to be a headache. (Which, if I’d read this thread only, I’d conclude was just not possible without voodoo magic)

    No headaches along the way, and whereas Plex had already begun the march to enshittification when I left, Jellyfin has done nothing but steadily get better.

    Anyhow, longer answer than intended, but I’d go back to Plex before I’d go to Emby, just on principle.











  • In the US, we’d use it only to further exploit animals and further enrich the 1%.

    Corporate America will immediately determine and then monetize all their needs. In a generation we’ll have cats paying for enough mice to get them through the week with the last of their earnings from the previous 2 weeks of catching hundreds of mice for their employers.

    Then there will be a Republican-led effort to get people to stop spaying and neutering them, so the 1% will always be assured there are enough hungry cats to keep the folks at the top wealthy.

    Edit: Sounds fucking ridiculous that anyone would voluntarily create or work within such a system doesn’t it?
