Okay well overly attach yourself to an obviously hyperbolic statement that wasn’t even directed at you and get offended, I guess.

Or don’t since your response to being challenged is to apparently disengage.

So what are you advocating for? A theoretical future in which more homes are built correct? This takes time which implies the following: tonight a person who is homeless remains homeless and the landlord class who is currently raking it has their investment portfolio protected. If anything they likely make tons of money on developing the additional housing you describe.

Versus the state, today, acting and properly utilizing the housing supply that exists and housing people, today? Again you can misrepresent this by saying “there will be transportation problems” (there won’t, unless you protect the landlord class), or you can misrepresent this by saying “you’ll create ‘homeless camps’ in rural Kentucky with food deserts and no support” (you won’t, unless you protect the landlord class).

This is why i say you are defending wealthy elites, this is why i say you are defending not housing someone. I am not saying that your positions are incorrect, building more housing is necessary, changing zoning laws to be less car dependent and to change the structure of american suburbia is necessary, yes, agreed. Food deserts are a problem, access to services is a problem. But these are long term issues with long term solutions.

They can be coupled with a more drastic and forceful short term mediation that admittedly will not fix the problem entirely - temporary homelessness will always exist in some form as long as people kick each other out - and that will help the person that is living in a tent or their car or just sleeping in a fucking alley because the shelter is over capacity right now. And then the shelter may not be so constantly stressed of resources, can maybe even afford to stay open longer, and the person temporarily homeless will actually have a place to go.

This sounds nice until we see that in the majority of markets that vacant units outnumber the homeless population by a significant factor.

You can again misconstrue my argument and say that people will be shipped off to camps in the middle of fucking nowhere (which is ridiculous) or you can go to this argument which that now there are just not enough homes, which is also fucking bullshit.

Or maybe you can stop licking the boots of landlords and understand that commodified housing is causing this issue.

85,000 vacant units in Seattle vs 17k homeless on any given night, 54,000 using the broadest definition of “homeless”

80,000 vacant units in Michigan vs 33,000 homeless again using the broadest definition

291,000 vacant units in Wisconsin vs 3200-20,000 homeless (again depending on how broadly you define “homeless”)

I challenge you to find a city outside of NYC where the vacancy rate doesn’t grossly outweigh the homeless population. And in NYC case you have the surrounding metro area. “B-b-b-b-but properties are being renovated!” Bullshit. 85,000 properties in Seattle being renovated? Come on. At least some of those are some rich fucks second property that they use sparingly. Restrict that, use it for low income housing, done.

You were part of the commodification of housing, sorry. This is a scam to kick squatters out and create “equity”, which can then be borrowed against for further real estate speculation

Your intentions were noble but you were used and your labor was stolen in the worst possible way, you created further wealth for wealthy people and evicted squatters into the street. I’m sorry that you were used in this way

Find me an example of any city in the USA aside from NYC where the homeless population outranks the vacant home rate

I did not include this but when looking at those numbers this was the same for Seattle, for San Francisco, for Michigan, etc.

I’m not surprised if it exists but given LA and NYC have some of the highest rates of homelessness in the country I doubt there are many examples

The idea presented was never “ship homeless people all over to displace them and also put them in camps” but notice how it immediately gets twisted to the worst interpretation to defend commodity landownership

Plenty of empty homes are rental units in areas with high homeless density, we would just have to re evaluate our relationship with treating housing as a commodity which is literally what I said

21,000 empty residential units in Philadelphia as of 2024, 5200 homeless in Philadelphia around the same time. Many cities would follow this trajectory.

But use some cities where the homelessness issue is absolutely tremendous:

NYC 247,000 vacant units and 350k homeless with the broadest definition of homelessness. Not enough, but the surrounding metro area could cover and transportation is more addressable here. Additionally NYC has 88,000 rent stablized units off the market, obviously not enough to cover here but enough to make a serious dent. Rent stablized units will stay empty because landlords would rather deny housing to a human and keep “equity” in their portfolio then rent at an affordable price and pay for renovations to make livable housing.

LA - 93-111,000 empty residential units. 75,000 homeless

The narratives that you and @woodscientist@lemmy.world perpetuate aren’t inherently untrue, they become true in some scenarios like NYC. But what they primarily do is defend a system where wealthy elites commodify housing instead of allowing it to be a human right.

When I was younger in my career I worked mobile therapy and one part of that was crisis response, which included responding to the cops when it was -2 degrees F out and they found a homeless person camping. I would often have to just drive around with them until morning because all the shelters are full or take them to my office and let them hang out while I did paperwork so they wouldn’t freeze to death. When I encounter your rhetoric I think of that, and the similar response when it would be 100+ degrees in summer, and I wonder how you can think that not housing someone is ever the correct choice

You can’t just say this and not say the staggering numbers

There are about 15 million empty homes in America and about 750,000 homeless people on any given night. It would be trivial to end homelessness without building a single new home. The next time someone is like “oh we need to build more housing” you look in their stupid fucking face and laugh because as long as housing is an investment commodity you can build all the housing in the world and it won’t matter

I don’t understand what you mean by “discoverability”.

If you mean things aren’t scraping correctly you can override the incorrect scrape by clicking the three dots on the right and selecting “identify” in the webui.

Placement varies a bit depending on platform and obviously if you’re using custom css (I’m not) it changes things a lot. This brings up a custom search ui, enter the show name, click search, will return results, select the show that actually matches, click next, refresh metadata (and make sure to refresh images if the show was incorrect).

Of course if this is happening consistently read the Jellyfin docs regarding naming and folder conventions. This is one of the appeals of sonarr and radarr - they act as a precheck to ensure everything is compliant with thetvdb/moviedb, can create the proper folder structure, can rename files according to scraper guidelines, etc. if you have them set up in sonarr/radarr correctly and let them rename/manage directories Jellyfin will scrape correctly 99% of the time (sometimes it has a weird error with niche content even if it’s correct but the above trick fixes it 100% of the time in my experience).

If you mean just sorting things I have anime coupled in tv, I don’t see the point of splitting it away. It is fairly uncommon to find anime that is not in thetvdb at this point unless you have a sizable library of non English translated anime, and if that’s the case it’s still best to keep it in tv shows with anidb or whatever as a backup manual scraper (keeping it on for auto scraping will result in western shows getting a ton of garbage data in my experience, just manually scrape series that don’t work). But it’s rare even then, I (poorly) speak Japanese and have a decent library of anime that’s untranslated and far less known in the west and 85% of it just scrapes, maybe more.

Outside of that custom libraries for things that don’t “fit”: music videos, youtube videos, workout videos, etc. most of this stuff needs handwritten nfo and custom metadata tho.

Music videos have imvdb but it’s not very well managed. There’s just massive stuff missing and the model for how it works is deeply flawed. I submitted a few videos to be added a year and a half ago and logging in now they’re still sitting in the mod queue. Imagine if musicbrainz or discogs needed a 1.5yr+ moderation queue instead of just letting the community at large police things, ridiculous. We’d still be stuck on Beethoven

I also override movie titles so that they organize properly. Horror franchises where they are sometimes numbered and sometimes not is the main example I can think of. You can do this via the metadata manager in the admin panel. You change the sort title and leave the display title alone. Then Friday the 13th: the final chapter can be parsed as “Friday the 13th 4” and will be displayed in the correct order, though you have to do the entire series (especially bc they canonically did “part 2” and then “part III” which makes sorting awful. Then ones called “Jason goes to hell: the final Friday” but that isn’t the last one. Terrible)

These are available literally everywhere, bussman fuses are still in tons of us homes

And if amazon gave their employees stock options (like they did at one point) the employees could also borrow against it. But amazon stopped doing that once they reached a point where their employees were impacting their bottom line. They now rob their employees of that option to entrench wealth amongst the elite

There are no goal posts here. The workers can’t own the machinery in modern times because American companies rarely manufacture anything so they they own stock. Instead of jeff bezos and a small handful of executives (plus uninvolved “shareholders”) owning the bulk of the amazon the workers own the company. I don’t get why this is hard for you to understand and why you are making strange semantics arguments to defend the right of billionaires owning an obscene amount of wealth.

No, they’re saying they should own the means of production. Which in the modern context means equity in the company. All 876,000 employees could be given a 105,000 bonus in terms of stock and then they’d own Amazon equity, done

Musk paid very little for twitter. He paid $0 in real money. He traded (iirc) like $13b of Tesla stock. The rest was filled by Saudi investors and western banks, who were greatly encouraged to own and control one of the primary modalities of communication in the 21st century. Either way very little actual cash transferred hands

He’d have to give them this as equity in the company, he’s not liquid for that amount. None of the “richest Americans” have near the amount of wealth they appear to have.

This is what people mean when they say workers should own the means of production tho

Further, Sydney made her fortune off of lgbt friendly shit like euphoria and immaculate, which is basically an allegory for women’s bodily autonomy (released post roe v wade repeal). Gigantic hypocrite who had (just going off Wikipedia) the privilege of a reasonably affluent family that could uproot themselves (from a house their family lived in for 5 generations, apparently) to move to California to chase her acting dreams. Imagine you’re in middle school and you’re like “hey dad can we move across the country so I can chase my acting dreams? Just sell the house and buy a new one” absurd. My dad would laugh in my fucking face and he would be correct to do so.

And I’m sure if you point this out to her she would discount it to point out how she “worked SO hard”, like when anyone privileged is confronted with intersectionality. You mean some people’s daddies don’t own their houses? You mean some people’s daddies aren’t lawyers? You mean some people’s daddies are dead? Well they just need to try harder!

Interesting to wonder if she is friendly with hunter schaefer, her trans costar from euphoria? her maga drama goes back to when they were making that show and it appears she is a “devout Christian”. Or is she one of those maga apologists that can temporarily excuse those things as long as the member of the oppressed class is also rich and/or being respectful to the member of the oppressed class is contingent to maintaining their own wealth and power.

Hunter Schaefer of course also being one of those “one true trans” types, that deny the identity of those who do not get or have access to medical support. How wonderful must it be to have access to a support system and the resources to obtain such a thing. Sorry nonbinary people, sorry people with shitty families, sorry people who live in states that make gender affirming care difficult or impossible to access (especially for pediatric cases), sorry people who don’t have health insurance or have terrible health insurance and don’t have affluent families, your trans identity isn’t valid because a rich trans lady was lucky enough to be born to a family that supported her and gave her the means to grow into a classist shithead.

Class solidarity above all, every time, fuck the rich

oh no, a screenshot of public record that literally anyone can look up at any time

don’t support fascism. Fuck off with your “different views” whitewashing

Short people live longer, that’s the trade off. No heaven

Archive everything. A torrent isn’t perfect but it is far more resilient than a shitty site like rapidgator or mega. If all the seeds drop off they may hop back on someday, if the link is dmcad or otherwise deleted it’s gone forever.

Fuck their e-cred. It’s all stolen. The only time you don’t spread something around is when someone posts something special to a private community to only be shared within that community because leaking it outside of that community could cause them grief or even serious consequences (eg someone leaking content to a private tracker community that they fear could be traced back to them so they specifically ask to keep it within x community). Though tbh I’ve seen this happen at least 4-5x over the years and it always leaks out to the wider internet, people will always share (as they should)

Lots, chrono trigger, ffvi-x, Mario 64, basically every yakuza game, sekiro, breath of the wild, a ton more. Embarassing ones sometimes like that power washing game because I got it for free and was like “this will be dumb” then kept going and going and going

Some older games that I’d probably power through now but at the time cheating/save states/youtube wasn’t easily accessible (gamefaqs existed but text based walkthroughs hit much different). Like the ps1 survival horror games: resident evil 1-3, silent hill, Dino crisis, parasite eve, etc. when you know what to do most of those can be run through in a few hours but in 1997 on the original hardware (no save states) and at best a txt file faq to guide you if you get stuck it would take some time to figure it out. Then with ones like re2 that had multiple routes and endings you’d play it like 6-7 times at least
