What is the point of Plex? I just went straight for Jellyfin and it does everything I need and then some. Is it just that people went with Plex initially and then stuck with it as it got enshittified?

Personally I don’t enjoy setting things up. I do enjoy not being tied down to evil corporations.

Yeah. But this already happens, unfortunately.

I wouldn’t bet on it.

A couple of weeks ago I rebooted into Windows for the first time in well over 8 months, as I needed to use a piece of software I don’t have on Linux (it’s available, I’m just refusing to pay for it and no alternative method has materialised), and getting anything done was incredibly frustrating.

First everything had to update, and I was forced to log in to a bunch of stuff. My web browser spontaneously vanished, as did Discord. No idea why. Opening Explorer consistently took several seconds because it always decided to poll my external drive before displaying anything, even if I didn’t do shit in my external drive.

Explorer being slow applies on my work PC too, and I have to use Windows on that. Every day I wonder how it’d be to put Linux on it.

Nautilus just opens the moment I click on it. Always.

I hate Discord with a passion. Trying to get everyone I know away from it.

I’ve never been accused of being a smart man.

I worry that the replacement is more likely a move to platforms like Discord. I mean it’s already happened in a lot of projects.

I mean it’s in the name, Lutris. I am trying really hard to see a cowboy now though.

Yeah! Why the hell should they benefit from our public infrastructure if they don’t pay their way? These are the actual parasites on society that the right wingers always claim to be so worried about.

I’m here for the shade thrown in the comments, haha.

Thank you. Tried visiting the archive page but it blocked me and ironically enough wanted me to solve a captcha that’ll be used to train “AI.”

Amazon is barely a thing here in Sweden. It’s niche drop shipped garbage for the most part, very similar to Wish and the like.

They have some non-garbage stuff at the same price you find elsewhere.

They also don’t do logistics here. Utterly useless company.

I don’t think we should be satisfied until they go bankrupt. When they do, their cars and their charger network will likely cease to function properly. Perhaps that could force some legislation against bullshit online-only cloud service practices for products like these.

They were really popular though. I personally think we should’ve had these numbers since late 2023 when our unions first begun the ongoing strike against Tesla for attempting to circumvent the way our labour market works. Or at the very least when Tesla shipped in bootlickers from elsewhere.

It’s better late than never, I guess.

Here in Sweden, only 3 out of ~24,000 newly registered vehicles in March were Teslas.

That’s honestly still 3 too many, but oh well.

Here’s an article. It’s in Swedish.

Hope so. They’ve been trying to undermine the Swedish job market here, and even fucking stalked their employees. Horrible company.

Yeah so the solution there is to not just bow down to a dictator. If they want to block Twitter altogether, let them. Let’s not pretend that Musk isn’t willingly going along with that.

Ah, I see. I’ve not tried Snaps, been avoiding Ubuntu because of Canonical’s weirdly corporate angle. Once they baked in Amazon into Ubuntu I was out.

I like the bundling of deps. Sure it’s inefficient, but it runs, and storage comes cheap nowadays anyway.
