The way I read the article was that all Belarussian and Russian applicants for renewals of visas / residency were rejected.

Edit: the US visa rejection rate is around 15%. This really doesn't seem like news at all... After reading some other sources on this topic, it seems that it would have been only around 8% of applications, So yeah, seems you are correct. I stand corrected. Seems like this is barely worth an article in that case, countries reject visas all the time for arbitrary reasons...

Why not get both (free teir on Plex), and decide for yourself?

If you want another opinion from an internet stranger though:

tl;dr: Plex if want simple seamless integration, and are prepared to spend money.

Jellyfin if you want FOSS, but are prepared to spend time.

I run both Jellyfin and Plex, and I only use Plex. It's more polished, has more clients, and has less bugs than Jellyfin. Plus, there are more community applications that are built around Plex vs Jellyfin.

For example, if you want to share your Jellyfin server, you have to manually forward ports, setup DNS records, dynamic DNS services, maybe reverse proxying, just to get easy access outside your network. Meanwhile, Plex is more or less plug and play (you might need to forward a port if the automatic port forward doesn't work)

That being said, I have the lifetime Plex Pass, and I don't think the monthly subscription for Plex is worth it.

I have a ton of friends that use my Jellyfin server instead of Plex, just because the Jellyfin mobile apps are free, so I keep Jellyfin running even though I don't personally use it.

If you decide to go with Plex, I would highly recommend getting the lifetime pass instead of a subscription.

I hate how much Apple has purposefully handicapped the iPad. It has such capable hardware, but the software doesn't even come close to taking advantage of it.

But God forbid the iPad actually becomes a viable daily use computer (What's a computer?)

Aside from personal websites and maybe some Lemmy instances, I can't think of a single application that's NOT using distributed computing. Hell, Lemmy as a concept is still distributed computing even if individual instances aren't necessarily.

That then introduces ease of use problems. You won't be able to log in to another device without copying your key over from an already logged in device for example.

Web browsers don't usually allow access to local files made outside the browser, so even logging in between browsers would require having your key on hand.

Not to mention if you lose the file containing your key (hard drive craps out, etc), you'll lose access to your account entirely. So users would be forced to backup their keys.

Not issues that would make the product unusable, but enough of a hindrence that 90% of users would just go find something else (like threads) to use instead.

Did the same. Transition was extremely easy, you can import your LastPass passwords over to bitwarden. Bitwarden's native integration isn't as good as LastPass (autofill etc.) but it has totp generation, and it's SOOO much cheaper.

Canada here - I drink water straight from the tap.

Although Canadian tap water is some of the highest quality tap water in the world.
