A black man was elected president.

Not everyone who watches hentai is a perv

Yeah sure, they are just into 9000 year old dragons...

Just don't look up what the word "hentai" means ;)

Have fun when no one wants to deliver food to you.

The army of faceless delivery gig workers can’t exactly pick and choose. They deliver the food or they get banned from the platform and replaced by the next guy.

There is a loser born every minute. (The loser has no choice in been born, though)

Do you also tip Amazon drivers? If not, then I don't see why food should be different.

Because they don't have a car full of 100 people's meals like Amazon drivers do with deliveries? You're ordering a personal taxi for your burrito.

Manufactured (No pun intended) political outrage most likely. Seems to be the M.O for the last few years at least.

And there never will be. You know why? Because the giant corporations can't suck up all your data and tailor advertisements to you. Why sell a good thing once, when you can sell crappy shovelware ridden with ads and a subscription service every month?

Open source is amazing for this. Honestly, I suspect this is much simpler than the jellyfin ecosystem and other open source projects out there. Really, we are so close to this now it is just missing a few things like a good 'how to' that ties it all together and turns into the opensource repo that bundles things.

Doesn't sound too free to me

I would venture a guess some time between: "The heat death of the universe" and "Never".
