Hey same, except my mom’s mom went through the depression here in the states and it rubbed off on her.

She loves to call out how particular I am about food, when actually I love trying new foods! I simply don’t like getting food poisoning from whatever hot dish/casserole she made 4 months ago that has been sitting in the fridge. At Christmas one year she brought out canned whipped cream, rediwhip, and it was 3 years expired! I didn’t notice and was sick for a week!

Nothing made me care so little about buying things than the corporations desperate want for me to buy them.

New games? Eh I’ll replay mass effect or skyrim. New hardware (before the crisis), looks real nice, don’t think I need it. The more they pushed me to buy the less I cared. If they all started chilling out maybe I’d get back into it, but doesn’t look like it.

Congrats! I know it’s yet another app but I think you’ll find the audiobooks tailored experience is so much nicer

Yeah I hate saying “use something else” but jellyfin really is not the right tool for audiobooks. OP is seeing the frustration now. Audiobookshelf is the way to go.

Yes and no.

Yes, in that it does and will affect you, and you do need to take an interest. You need to vote in every election you can, you need to stay involved, you need to make a stand. Without that we will lose everything we care about. Those in power have shown that they are happy to chip away at things, but as soon as any opposition is shown they start backing down.

No, in that your life is your own, and you can’t let politics dictate your life. As someone with a ton of anxiety, I cannot read the news daily, I do not subscribe to the news communities, I have to stay away from it. I choose to live my life and make the most of it, living day to day. My family and friends are the most important to me, and I spend my time enjoying them. I came very close to crumpling into a deep depression due to the news, and then got help. It was a hard lesson in learning I cannot personally change everything, and I cannot hold myself responsible for everything that has happened.

Confused? Good. It’s a personal journey, you have to pick and choose yourself, and draw your own lines and figure out where your responsibility is and when you’ve done your part. I stay educated, I know what’s happening, I know who I’m voting for, I know when to stand up. That does not mean I need to stay glued to my computer and doomscroll. You’ll have to draw your own line.

Yeah, I’m hopeful that changes. I know big projects require stronger leadership, but watching the comments on things made me feel like smaller OSS devs were like me and felt discouraged from helping out.

I assume you were downvoted because someone didn’t like hearing the truth.

As with any online service you are entrusting your safety to the owner of said service. Anything you put into Lemmy you should assume can be used in any way. Any assumption otherwise is simply carelessness.

Jellyfin is the o ly OSS project I’ve walked away from a change. It was a simple exception thrown that could be ignored in very specific circumstances that I remember. I wrote up the change, left several lines of comments, looked up code style, files the bug and PR in the proper way and… Rejected.

My 2 or 3 line PR was nitpicked to hell, I think the fourth round of reviews I just walked away. It wasn’t worth it for me at that point.

So I’m not entirely surprised that they’re feeling burnout. It seemed exhausting getting anything done.

Fair, good point

AC reuses the same fan that goes through the furnace. Even though the furnace is not on the fan still blows air through it. My heat exchanger sits above the filter, which sits above the furnace

Check out db0s instance. You’ll find a lot of hate here for it but there’s been some neat things there. !stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I think so too. Maybe it will turn out fine, maybe not. Personally I’ve been looking at git histories and waiting a month or so before getting excited, just to see if it will pan out.

Correct, and again, I’m someone who uses AI, I’m not one of the ones who are purely against it. The definition what what I’ve both done and seen:

• Using LLMs to code - fine. It’s a tool, use it as you’re saying. This is not what I’m talking about.
• Using LLMs to vomit out all of your code into one commit is vibecoding. It’s clearly vibecoding when there weren’t even multiple commits. No trial and error, no refinement, just one giant dump.

I do care how it’s coded because it shows how well it will be maintained into the future. If someone uses LLMs over months to build something it will probably be maintained. If someone vomited out all of that code in one vibecoded session, it’s very likely they’ll be bored and in a month it’ll be abandoned. That’s what I’m looking at, because tests can be automated now.

Maybe I’ll be wrong and in a month they’ll have committed hundreds of times and are trying to mature it. I have no evidence of that though, so there is no reason I’d risk trying it out.

Making your own and creating it is great. Maintaining it for years its great. Its why there is so much respect for other projects. You can see the months and years of dedication right in the git history.

Vibe coding something and trying to be on par with the other projects is hubris. It’s assuming you can do a better job than the groups and maintainers with an AI tool. Then to make it worse, it will probably never be updated or maintained. That’s why I and I assume others dislike it. It’s minimal effort with the arrogance on top.

Like I said. I enjoy vibe coding things. I’ve done a few. However I don’t go and pitch them as alternatives to well known OSS projects, because I know my vibe coding could never compare.

What immich, ente, and the others weren’t enough? Had to still vibe code your own?

And I’m saying this as someone who enjoys vibe coding a few projects. I’m not against it. But it’s arrogance to assume you can vibe code something better than proven OSS alternatives

Best “it just works” solution I’ve found. So many others are just weird scripts around yt-dlp, and this kind of is too, but the most maintained and supported. I’m at like… well I have over 1000 pages of videos in there. It’s solid.

We… Actually only read? I don’t know why my comment sparked so much annoyance in people, you do you. Don’t know why you have to assume you know how others live.

I love my media, and I love to enjoy it, I just don’t like doing that before sleep

Largest in the primary movie space. We have an 85" there, big couch, dark area, it’s where you go to watch something without distractions.

Living room, near kitchen is a 32 inch cheap one from best buy. We have on background TV, or if we are just hanging out will throw something on there. It also encourages that if you’re doing something more serious you move to the big TV room. Pop some popcorn, make it a thing vs just relaxing.

No TV in the bedroom. We have 2 already, don’t need one in there personally. We read, have small hobbies in the bedroom.

As a Swiftie, yes.

Technically my my PC is the same PC I used decades ago. It started as a Pentium 3 with… 64MB of RAM if I remember, and something like a whopping 10GB hard drive. It’s still the same PC of course, I swear!
