I thought corporate industry liked the free market and no regulation.

I initially said it was based off linux not kinda linux and we’re here. I’m saying it’s kinda linux because Android is never referred to as a linux phone but an Android phone.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, you’re totally right. I’m saying that you don’t understand colloquialisms. The type of person who would hear someone refer to salt intake in food as “sodium” and go on a tirade about how it’s sodium chloride and ignore that they fully understood what was meant but chooses to be as difficult as possible because they want to be right. Generally the type of stuff that would get people shoved in lockers.

You do realize that kinda linux right? You’re right it’s closer to a boston accent but if you generally ask people about the american accent it’s not going to be boston they think of. I’m not denying it is based on the linux kernel because it is but Android is the most popular OS in the world, it can be it’s own label as opposed to saying it’s linux. To nit-pick further is some real “It’s not linux, it’s GNU/Linux” energy.

No, it’s kinda linux.

Android is a mobile operating system (32-bit and 64-bit) based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

It’s based off of linux but not literally linux and why if you call it a linux distro you’ll be questioned. Just like English is based on French but if you start telling people you speak French because of it you’ll have confusion.

Android is kinda linux, I think most people would find it weird to call it a linux distro. OP also isn’t looking for an android phone when they say a linux phone. For a linux phone there is a lot of build-it-yourself and people generally don’t want to flash their device to install it, especially people who only use a phone as their computer.

I’m not saying it is CLI, I’m saying that I don’t want CLI on my phone. Android for instance is based on linux and isn’t a CLI for the most part.

Again, why I say it’s like asking someone to build it themselves when people who only use phones and not desktops/laptops don’t typically want to build it themselves.

For all the people using phones as their computer I doubt there would be many who want to use linux. It’s a bit like someone asking for recommendations for a moped and you tell them to build it themselves.

I’m all for wanting linux on phones and supporting that but I have never ever known someone to be interested in linux and only use a phone/tablet. I can’t imagine working a CLI with a phone keyboard.

This has always been my opinion on distros as I don’t really like to switch distros and prefer to use one that just works. I used to be more into Redhat and that’s kinda soured for me.

Can I ask why you say that?

(I realize that’s ironic considering the theme of this thread, I just enjoy learning from people who have passion for something)

This reads like someone explaining how to cook a pizza with a propane torch. I love it.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate the help! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Would Jellyfin play well with a VPN to watch media while outside my network?

I don’t mean when the internet goes down but never has internet access. Like I would want it on it’s own VLAN with no internet access.

Totally agree. I’m not trying to say terms should have no meaning but that the difficulty distinguishing the two can be pretty easy because of how similar they are.

Does Plex have a dependency for their servers? Like, if I were to unplug my modem would it still work or would it flip shit if it can’t phone home?

In capitalism as long as there isn’t a way to keep wealth from passing down each generation it is effectively just like nobles. I don’t see much of a difference between the two if both are systems of inheriting massive land or assets that allow you to exploit the lower classes to perpetuate your status.

10 year olds? Most people who have access are on social media all the time just like people before that were on the newspaper, radio, or book all the time.

Maybe this is something I am just failing to grasp but I don’t understand how social media is more harmful than basically every media. I can’t begin to tell you how much damage buddy cop dramas did to people’s perspectives of cops and how that created a more militant police force.

It’s meant to be an evolution of feudalism as the people creating capitalism are effectively the remnants of power from feudal society. There could be absolutely no industry and it would still be the system the non-royal but powerful would select.

Look at the transition from the articles of confederation to the US constitution and the focus on the creation of currency in article 1. The “rights” people talk about were pushed for by the opposition to the constitution. The US constitution created effectively a capitalist version of the British empire and is analogous to the house of commons/lords/king. There was no term for the presidency, it could be for life and federal senators weren’t even voted for.

I’d argue it’s effectively just an iteration of feudalism.
