You don’t say.

I wouldn’t want my company associated whatsoever with Gilead from HMT, even by name only, but there’s an argument to be made that ten years ago those connotations didn’t exist, and ten years from now they likely won’t since it will have faded from pop culture.

I don’t know how you don’t change your name if that’s your company. It’s not their fault but yeesh. (ESPECIALLY with the US trending so hard in that very direction right now.)

Nothing but love for the KDE team! I moved to KDE during roughly Plasma 5.1 days. (Always wanted to love Plasma 4, but just… it was Plasma 4)

Not once have I regretted it, and Plasma has been on every computer in my house since then.

❤️❤️❤️ to the KDE team!

😬

It sounds so dramatic and I know people roll their eyes when I say things like that, but it’s absolutely true.

The deeper I’ve gone with Linux over the years the more Windows seems (aside from the obvious privacy concerns and generally being trash corporate citizens) like an intentionally convoluted and overcomplicated mess.

Well, I can tell you how Jellyfin differs from a directory full of files, but I can’t help you with understanding that other people have different preferences and desires than you which are neither “conditions” nor “addictions.”

You’ll have to make it to that one on your own.

You are imagining how to use a computer filled with video files.

Now imagine having your own personal netflix available on a variety of devices, using just that one computer full of video files.

Emby

Jellyfin exists because Emby was only open source until it wasn’t convenient. Some of their own devs pointed out they were violating the license, and their response was… non-ideal.

So Jellyfin was forked with the last fully open-source Emby code.

At least that’s my recollection several years down the line.

I decided then that no amount of headache from Jellyfin (and let me say that I was an EARLY jellyfin adopter AND former Plex user) would be enough to get me to use Emby. (Because things like that are important to me, though I realize they aren’t important to everyone.)

And reading this thread I’m apparently a super-genius because I have my Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and serve it to my elderly parents with a simple login and an app they were able to install, and never found it to be a headache. (Which, if I’d read this thread only, I’d conclude was just not possible without voodoo magic)

No headaches along the way, and whereas Plex had already begun the march to enshittification when I left, Jellyfin has done nothing but steadily get better.

Anyhow, longer answer than intended, but I’d go back to Plex before I’d go to Emby, just on principle.

Odd, since my Jellyfin sits behind a reverse proxy.

Oh there is no worse shift. I feel you.

Such my fucking mood right now. Last half of the last day of the holiday weekend was ass, and sleep was absolute ass, as if the world conspired to ensure I could not be allowed to start the week with a good night’s rest.

As a result, after several interruptions, have been awake since long before my alarm went off, and just sitting here with a black cloud over my head. In precious few minutes, the weekly grind will begin.

That’s part of “techie reasons” for me. 😁

Well, after years and years and years and years of hating Microsoft for techie reasons, then privacy/“telemetry” reasons, and removing them in all ways from my life wherever possible, now I can hate them for being morally bankrupt in other ways.

On the plus side, they continue to validate my nearly twenty years of touching their software only when paid to do so.

Yet somehow, it seems to be ok if they shoot gazans just for being gazans.

These young adults in the US were shot for wearing a keffiyeh way back near the beginning of the current conflagaration.

In super-lefty Vermont of all places which I found kinda surprising.

It‘s not terrorism if the perpetrator turn themself in?

It’s not terrorism if it’s a lover’s spat.

Considering the victims are rumored to be an engaged couple and the perpetrator been seen waiting, I’m thinking a more personal motive like jealousy, or a specific case, rather than racism.

But in fairness it’s all just speculation currently.

I feel like I should be horrified by this. And yet, I think it’s pretty cool.

Some spooky thoughts about it also there are already glow in a dark domestic flowers

OMG if we can get glow in the dark spider silk so I can avoid walking through them in the summertime near our garage door that would be great.

Yeah, I been hearing this for about 4 years now.
