Plex isn’t perfect, but the open-source aspect of Jellyfin is holding the platform back. Fractured development across its third-party ecosystem prevents any clients from being as functional as apps like Plexamp while also creating hyper-focused support for popular platforms and leaving smaller platforms virtually unsupported.

This is a strange take. Being open source doesn’t cause unfocused development and platform prioritization issues. Those both happen to proprietary software, especially the latter.

These are more symptoms of it being a community project rather than developed by a company, but community FOSS projects can also be run very effectively. There are many examples of this.

A lot of FOSS development is done by the people who use it. So I suspect as more people move away from Plex, a subset of those users will help contribute to the aspects of Jellyfin they care about.

Jellyfin development is accelerating, while Plex’s enshittification is accelerating. The line is different for everyone, and one by one, I suspect Plex will cross them all.

How else can I have live ISOs of various Linux distros at the ready?

There have been so many cases of tech companies being caught lying about what data they collect/sell, the only way to be really sure is to never give them the data in the first place.

If you already know NFS and it works for you, why change it? As long as you’re keeping it between Linux machines on the LAN, I see nothing wrong with NFS.

Yeah, that’s the dilemma. The more popular it gets, the more crawlers will be designed to circumvent it.

As far as the Fediverse goes, yes. I looked into kbin a while back, and it looked promising, but Lemmy had a huge start and it seems like kbin’s development has halted.

Understandable, I’m mostly just commenting on the demographic in this particular Lemmy topic.

I get that “just port it to Linux” is no easy undertaking, especially if multiplatform wasn’t part of the original architecture.

This project looks interesting, and this update does come with some significant improvements. However, I imagine on Lemmy you’ll find a pretty high percentage of Linux users, who won’t be able to use the client. Something like this with a Linux client that can integrate with Lutris to install games would be really cool.

People angry that Superman represents kindness

Do these people exist? Is it just one troll, or a significant enough of a population to even give the slightest bit of thought?

This is fine, but I ditched Ubuntu on my raspberry pi’s when they kept breaking DNS by changing my network configuration with every upgrade.

Offline DRM historically has always been broken eventually, and when it gets cracked, it stays cracked. They can’t change it or take it away from you like streaming.

Blu-ray DRM is the most cutting edge, and it’s pretty easy to crack right now.

It doesn’t go without saying. I disagree about physical media. It’s one of the few ways to guarantee you actually own the thing you bought. People still buy brand new vinyl.

Technology rarely disappears completely, but it does usually fades into hobbyist and collector territory.

To answer the question, I don’t think SMS will be around much longer. It has many problems and is already being replaced by many different standards that are better in every way.

Hold off on this one if you use the official docker container.

This update has some broken dependencies the prevent it from starting correctly.

The Witcher. I really want to like it. It seems like the kind of game I would love and I recognize that it’s an objectively well made game. However, I’ve bounced off it at least 4 times after getting 1-4 hours in.

I think you should evaluate why people don’t want to entertain these topics.

Even if the answer is “bias”, it’s worth looking into the nature of that bias to find out why people think that way.

However, I’ll save you a bit of time: most of these “topics” are based on a false premise. They are strawman arguments which indicate a misunderstanding of a particular argument/viewpoint. This makes any conversation a non-starter, which is why I suggest forming a more complete understanding of other arguments.

It’s kind of ridiculous that any skill is gendered.

Yes! I so badly want this game to get the same remaster treatment that AoE II got, but as is the case with most licensed games, the IP will probably keep it from ever being updated again.

I have one child, and I love her so much. I’m very happy we decided to have a child.

However, I’m content with just one child. Even in an ideal situation, raising a healthy child is hard work. It’s extremely rewarding, but the responsibility of shaping another human’s formative experiences shouldn’t be taken lightly.

As the comments on this post (and birth rate statistics) repeatedly hammer home, the state of the world is extremely hostile to having children right now, especially financially.

What the doomers fail to address, is that raising a child provides a unique opportunity to inject the very values we need to fix the world’s issues into the next generation. If you really want kids, it will be one of the hardest, yet rewarding lifestyle changes of your life. If someone is on the fence, it might be better to abstain, but only they can make that decision.

According to archeologists, it was probably obsidian.
