Spain

Overall, probably way better but the future is uncertain and unemployment is terrible. No Spanish governments seem to have the answer to this. We’re far too reliant on tourism and the pandemic hit hard, with some not recovering despite the support given.

I believe UBI will never come to pass because the rich have too much to lose. Imagine a workforce not beholden to the capitalists?

Received an email from Plex:

“We're contacting you to let you know about an upcoming action that is likely to affect your Plex Media Server setup. You're receiving this notice because the IP address associated with a Plex Media Server on your account appears to come from a service provider that hosts a significant number of Plex Media Servers that violate our Terms of Service.”

I pay a few Euro a month for access to Plex with a lot of content. That content is hosted on Hetzner

Plex are banning Hetzner IPs because libraries are hosted there and shared with thousands. I see people are moving to Emby/JellyFin because Plex is trying to become the next Netflix app OS trying to clean up what they see as pirated content

It does, yes.

I live in Spain. It’s absolutely not true. They’re more akin to the American Republicans that want to limit people’s rights in things like abortion, euthanasia, etc. They’re praise Franco any chance they get

The main issue for the left is the right wing press continuously attacks and they don’t have much to counter it. This pushes the swing voters towards the PP (Party Popular) which was in government until brought down by Sanchez in a vote of no confidence following a scandal. PSOE subsequently one an election and governs with other left wing parties.

The left, at least, has Yolanda Díaz. She has united the left that are not PSOE into an alliance called Sumar that’s pushing back hard against the right. She’s a labour lawyer and has done a lot for the working class. Hopefully they’ll remember this tomorrow.

There’s also a content server built into Calibre but I’ve never used it.

I use Ubooquity (a Java app with a web interface) that I share books with family and friends using the kindle browser

Edit: Just noticed a ‘wireless device connection’ option in the Connect/Share menu

Connect your ebook device to your PC running Calibre. Start Calibre, and when it recognises your device a new button will show for syncing with the device.

Because they were?
