I always thought Facebook was useful to me. Until one day I decided to stop. A week later I deleted my account.
Turns out Facebook wasn't useful to me.
And I can't see a future where it will be.

WhatsApp is currently useful to me.
And considering EUs current ruling, I imagine there will be WhatsApp compatible apps soon. Besides, if meta leaves the EU, everyone will move to telegram or signal or whatever.

So no, I don't think it will be useful to me one day. And I'd be quite happy to see it go

The low ram and storage are to drive you up 2 tiers.
By the time you go "256gb isn't enough storage, so I'll pay 10% more for something useable", you are pretty much at the stage of "if I'm spending this much, I might as well get the ram upgrade as well". And suddenly you are paying $500 more.

Nobody likes missing a train.
In this scenario, missing a train is caused by timezones.
It's sarcasm. So against timezones.
Maybe, against more granular timezones, ok with status-quo, but would be happy if all official correspondence happened with UTC.
Possibly completely against timezones.
Maybe a mix of all of the above

Good god, imagine 360 timezones to describe each longitude.
Each timezone would be 4 minutes, and span roughly 56 miles (tho, that's different as you get nearer the poles).
For the majority of things, it would be fine. Most appointments etc that are "booked" verbally would likely be within 56 miles, where "casual" time would work. Anything beyond that feels like a "significant" thing, which would probably involve written/digital communication - where computers could pick up the slack for translation.
And EVERYONE would be aware of timezones. So, even Microsoft/Excel would have to recognise that timezones are a real thing.

So, probably not that bad

It makes the most sense for a company to spread their risk amongst as many suppliers as possible if their entire business relies on the performance of those suppliers.

Thinking about it, IT hardware and networking doesn't ever seem to do this. Maybe that's because it's lots of items working together to create a system instead of multiple discrete systems.

Why 'making "pretend people" with artificial intelligence' is a waste of energy

Its was also told - on multiple occasions - not to repeat its instructions

Yeh, but I already have compose files and ansible things to set up a server.
And I'd have to figure out how health checks and depends-on works for that.

I'm sure it would give me an amazing experience, but I have all the tools and I can run them in isolation (ie I can install docker on any os I can SSH into)

I always think about using nixos. But considering I dockerise everything, I always end up using Debian.
Good old stable Debian

He is the epitome of capitalism and nepotism.
He is not the epitome of tech meritocrasy

I dont think "not wanting to outsource to the cheapest labour pool" is a hallmark of the left or the right wing.
I think "not wanting to outsource" is both progressive and anti-capitalist.

Doing things as cheap as possible, no matter who suffers, is absolutely a capitalist thing, and is why government regulation and government oversight is so important... As long as the government isnt in on it, of course (thats just a corrupt government)

If you have everything in a compose stack, you can use the container name. Docker (and im sure podman) will do a dns resolution to the IP.
So you can use http://jellyfin:8000 instead of http://172.28.50.11:8000 (or whatever internal docker IPs are).
Not sure if it works outside of a compose stack. Might use different container name schemes (where inside a compose stack it would be "jellyfin", outside it might be "media-jellyfin-1" depending on folder names and various configs)
