  • So your suggestion is that in order to keep the business afloat, Uber should be allowed to pay their workers less than minimum wage? That doesn’t sound like a reasonable business, and certainly not one I’m willing to support in my province.

    This argument also falls flat because other places have done this with no increase in cost. If you look outside of the app job industry, the argument is often made that if the US raises minimum wage, places like McDonalds will get more expensive. But in Europe and elsewhere the minimum wage is way higher than the US, and their prices are not.

    Allowing Uber to underpay their workers means we have to subsidize the company by providing welfare for workers who don’t earn enough. That’s coming out of our tax dollars. I’m not personally in favour of subsidizing Uber if their business can only survive by undercutting the people building it.







  • I agree. But I have a list of things Plex still does better. I’m hoping I can hold on until Jellyfin can adopt these features.

    • Intro skip on AppleTV
    • TV Collections
    • Skip credits
    • Editions
    • Hide from on deck
    • Downloads
    • Home Users or some other way to easily switch users on common devices.

    I’m hoping that if Plex pulls something really stupid, we get a dev effort like the Reddexit last year that made Lemmy so much better.
