Microsoft and the like are doing a great job to prove they don’t have to release anything quality and people will still throw them buckets of money. It’s wild to watch, but hey it’s better they stay there than come to Linux in the masses to encourage the enshitification of stuff that’s still good.

Russia is absolutely cleaning house this decade. Daaaaamn

From what I read over there, dbus is to blame for this one.

People like him are why gatekepeeping hobbies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Once the flood of normies comes in, they outnumber the passionate ones and it all goes downhill from there.

I see more and I become more aware, which leads me to do research on competing brands if it’s something I want.

If I only saw ads for GM I’d wonder why they suck so much that they need to push so many ads for people to buy their vehicles. My comfort with a brand/product relies in the experience I’ve had with them along with word of mouth from friends and reviews for it.

The world would be a much better place if everyone was autistic, probably lol

I will never understand how advertisements pay for things… Like who’s out there thinking “hell yeah, I really want to support this shit that’s interrupting everything I try to do every few minutes!” The stuff that people do buy that are advertised to them I always assumed were things they’d buy anyway like junk food and snacks.

He’s the chair of the gym club, why would you doubt his regimen?

How long until it’s bypassed by gifs/3D models and a virtual webcam?

Meanwhile I get all sorts of password reset and MFA calls/texts/emails/notifications from people trying to break into my account in countries that I have never been to and are nowhere near me.

Cool cool

This is why gatekepeeping hobbies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When outsiders become more numerous than the enthusiasts, the whole thing goes to shit.

I find it hard to believe you’re constantly learning when you turn away from something as simple as Jellyfin for being “too hard” and consider Apple products to be user friendly…

No lol. The basic setup is: you point it to your libraries, it does the rest. Just like Plex.

Connecting remotely is maybe slightly trickier since you have to open it up to the internet, or just run tailscale.

Jellyfin is complicated? It’s easier to get going than Plex IMO. It might be slightly trickier to access it outside of your home network but even that’s not all that hard, just set up tailscale

You’re not supposed to answer, you’re supposed to re-read your stupid comment and realize how wrong you are, then fix it? I’m not looking for an echo chamber, I’m looking for stupid users to stop being stupid before tech gets completely ruined by them all.

I remember playing Rock’n’Roll Racing with my friend over 56K modem back in like 2002… It’s existed for a while lol

Plex and Jellyfin are basically like having your own Netflix built off your own media library. Plex offers a bunch of extra crap for a premium though.

Wouldn’t they hurt use Jellyfin? Lol The only “value” that Plex seems to have to offer these days are the weird tv services things they keep trying to push

You should learn anyway. I switched and I have no plans of looking back. Jellyfin is basically everything Plex would have been if they continued as they were installed of trying to become some stupid streaming service mess that they are turning into

Apple devices definition don’t serve people first lol

Apple died the second Woz was pushed away.
