What, did /u/spez change his name to /u/AI_Slop?

I think they were both using sarcasm to be critical of that mentality.

…but maybe the vagueness was the point?

I must be reading the post wrong because your comment comes off like you and OP are in agreement…

You sound like an addict. I think it’s time to go cold turkey…

It’s essential the same. Ideally CVTs operate at a fixed ratio. That ratio can be adjusted for optimum power or optimum efficiency. But consumers rejected those idealized ratios in favor of less efficient dynamic ratios.

In both cases consumers are rejecting objectively better performance in favor of a familiar feeling/sounding option.

This is pretty unsurprising considering it’s exactly on par with how most (all?) CVT vehicles have been programmed with fake gear shifts for years (decades?)

That’s the one

It’s not bad.

Betteridge’s law says “No”.

That’s the format Reddit suggests for default usernames these days.

What are the ethical alternatives?

I don’t think that’s the main reason folks are concerned about having their government IDs stolen.

X commenter Leftyslayer complained, “Costco immediately passed the burden to its customers. They took the profits during the good times and now they screw the citizens during downturn. They have no loyalty to the customer.

Actually not true (imagine my surprise at an X user being uninformed)

From another article:

Millerchip said that while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices “because they are key staple items” for its customers.

Costco has been eating the costs of the tariffs (at least in some cases)

Why waste a clean plate when the bun it already protecting the ice cream sandwich from all the wrist sweat?

I have a looking-at-the-chalkboard-in-highschool background which I’m pretty sure defines my perspective(heh).

Not a Brit but I’m pretty confident “Chav” is not a synonym for “working class”.

I remember especially hating all the extra categories and freemium content plex added that I wasn’t interested in viewing but couldn’t remove (or at least did not find a way to remove).

Not doubting your experience at all. For all I know it’s a new option; I just discovered it, but for the other folks like me still stuck with Plex, most (all?) of this can be disabled in the Online Media Sources setting on the server (yeah - I know 🙄)…

I think the situation under discussion is converting plex users to jellyfin though. Most plex users won’t have a reverse proxy setup because it’s not needed.

I’m ready to replace plex but unless something major has changed in the last several months I simply can’t understand how people feel jellyfin is a comparable solution to plex. I couldn’t even get past the user interface and it falling flat on its face with media recognition.
