Moreso than idiot though. It’s almost always been considered a swear-word, but if you’re looking for a stricter, smaller set, those go by “cuss-words”.

Talking 10ish years ago. Today you can get KDE apps running on Windows as Native stand-alones, but at the time, you first had to install KDE4Win.

digiKam was the first Linux application I encountered that was so polished and useful for what it does that I tried to shoe-horn it into any and every DE I experimented with, as well as installing it onto my windows machines under KDE4Win.

I think its less a question of the technical feasibility, and more of an issue that we, as users, don’t want more closed-source blobs in our kernels. Meanwhile, the publishers insist that they can’t open-source their anti-cheat code; Their idea being that if we know what’s in it, it will be easier to bypass.

Basically, one distro or a few(at most) may get anti-cheat integrated one day(like, say, SteamOS), but it will likely never be in your standard Linux kernal.

They could go the rought of kernel modules, I would think, but for whatever reason, we’re still having this conversation.

Laziness gets a bad rap, stupidly bad when you look at how work-obsessed many 1st-world countries are, and the effects that has on people’s health, empathy, and the ability to leave well-enough alone.

I never thought I would say this, but its time to stop using that picture of the girl sitting on an arcade game for a while. It’s played out, and I’m sure there’s other art that would do.

No it fucken doesn’t.

Nicest thing I’ve seen/heard/thought about facebook in a hot minute.

You need to broaden your horizons. There’s more to life than cute Hentai buttholes.

Althought, I guess I can see not wanting to acknowlege prolapse and so many other horrors some of these represent.

The Demo-pol is coming. Westworld Season 2 is comming. Can’t wait to see how the expiriment goes “wrong”.

It didn’t say subscription-based, but more power to you.

Shiiit … I’m just over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieved to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.

That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions’ infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?

Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article … nevermind, any additional nuance is down to the number of words they spent saying little of consequence. The myopia is more big-tech and cloud-centric than anything along national lines.

Imagine thinking Tesla has all-that-much in place to prevent those things in a stock configuration. Full-stop, any self-driving is one of the first features anyone trying to disconnect their cars from Tesla servers would lose outright.

Of course the first “expert opinion” quote is from a Tesla employee. Otoh, it seems obvious the timeline is too ambitious, but the “starting from zero” line seems like bullshit as well, considering how much auto manufacturing already takes place in Mexico.

I didn’t say I’m satisfied. I just think this comment-section about Plex’s rug-pull isn’t the place for such niche criticism of Jellyfin.

I mean, I bought the Lifetime Plexpass when it was on sale years back, so I have little reason to change my own setup, but I still have even less reason to stan them at Jellyfin’s expense.

Seriously, one is a paid service executing rug-pulls, and the other is a free and open-source project. This level of nit-picking at Jellyfin is a shit stance to take.

Your regular friends are constantly using your Plex server to download files for offline viewing, eh?

I know I’m in the minority, being less afraid of a Nuclear-armed Iran and/or North Korea than the sheer idiocy and malice of US foreign policy, since '98 or so, but it blows my mind more and more how people just can’t see it.

An invasion takes millions of lives, full-stop. There’s no way either country gets enough ICBM’s in the air to offset their entire territories being turned into glass parking lots. The cost-benefits ratio for both sides in all this posturing only makes sense if there’s a shared goal to keep their dictators in power.

I run ffmpeg on my phone. Alternately, I could shrink the file on my server and then download it without much trouble. You’re in a vanishingly small subset of users who know enough to care about file-size and know what can be done about it, but can’t be bothered to do it themselves.

I was avoiding suggesting getting more storage, but it sounds like in your case, keeping a 720p x265 version of each file(~1gb per movie) on-hand would cost you nothing.
