    It being a real and powerful motivational force means it's one of the more useful covers. Just because it motivates the voters/customers doesn't mean it's the genuine reason behind a decision. I cannot think of a single recent "think of the children" based action that was intended to and actually helped the children in a meaningful way. Can you?

    The closest we have is buying green energy in blocks, which means you reserve that much generation capacity. In theory, they have to build more capacity if demand outstrips suooly, but if they produce more than is reserved, they just sell at the normal (lower) rate. If you use less than you reserve, you just pay more. It's a wonky system and I'd prefer to choose by provider instead. At least our electricity provider has to ask the state legislature for permission to raise prices, so that's nice. Energy here isn't all that expensive (around the nationwide median) and moving toward green energy, but I think I'd prefer a more competitive system.

    That's definitely a nice feature for sure but getting Jellyfin to even recognize the album/songs means they all need to be properly labeled and filed correctly and that some database somewhere needs to have that album's metadata available which can be real hit or miss. SoulSeek seems to be decent for labeling and allows you to choose who you're downloading from but its still a clunky mess at the end of the day. I'm all for self hosting as much as possible but for me personally its just much more convenient to use a streaming service for music, and these days I find myself listening to podcasts the most which aren't going to be available on the high seas (nor would I bother if they were because I'm not going to listen to them again).
