You're moving the goalposts from the context of the thread.

There are no "goalposts" to move. Elon Musk has a well earned reputation, and it's impacting how I and others judge his actions related to Twitter.

I don't think the numbers are meant to be literal.

You're disputing a phone being a necessity.

> My banking and bill paying is basically online only. It's not obligatory but it's far, far more convenient online.

So, not a necessity.

> Debit cards still exist but they are being phased out slowly in favor of NFC.

Not a necessity (and I expect by "phased out" you mean you see them less).

> To board transport I can still use a card but recharging it is easier via an app than by standing in line at a machine where I'd have to pay with a card or cash.

Not a necessity.

> At work we often communicate via group chats. It's quicker and less intrusive than phoning or emailing. I don't love it but I'm accustomed.

I assume you have a work device and this is during work hours? If so, not a necessity.

> To pay taxes or fines to report to the city that a tree branch fell to consult my property tax info or medical records or to get an appointment for minor surgery - it's all easiest or only possible online.

Easiest = not a necessity.

You've just detailed things that _you_ find more convenient to do on your phone and that you are able (and encouraged) to do. But not one of them appears to require a phone, or - outside of your specific job - even internet.

For anyone playing along at home, a "check" is the bill.

It took me quite a while to work out who was checking on the QR code.

> And now Musk might try to use it for his own political and financial agenda. If that risk is serious, running twitter into the ground might be the most ethical thing an employee could do.

I try not to flame here, but that viewpoint may actually be insane.

It's a job. You're not changing the world. If you don't like the politics of the CEO, leave.

You're not a freedom fighter. Real people in the world are actually fighting for their lives, their freedoms and the right to eat and live in dignity. Literally hundreds of millions. None of those people are based in Silicon Valley.

Because that's your job? The contract is money for work. If you no longer wish to do it due to external circumstances, leave.

Who is dying by their sword?

If they thing they ever made the world a better place, they're delusional. This seems common in silicon valley though.

If you're being paid to do a job, do it. If you no longer want to do it, quit. It's pretty simple.

Since when is "not being a dick and doing the job you're paid to do" blnd devotion?

"I'm just doing my job" is a classic deflection of responsibility. If you do not believe your job is ethical or moral or compatible with your beliefs, then to continue to do it is indeed blind devotion. Just because you are paid to do it has nothing to do with what's right.

The iOS app is open source, so you are welcome to contribute a PR: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-expo

It's maintaned by a single developer in his spare time, so I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

This is not the case on iOS. It is possible in Safari however.
