kde, linux, busses, open source and the good old Grateful Dead.
Honestly I thought memes had kinda run their course, i didn’t know there were new ones even, lol.
Hey if it’s fun, that’s great. Kinda was looking for an idea for an app. This might be an interesting one. What features would make a great one?
People save memes? Today I learned…
Yeah, i don’t get why you think it’s a big deal. I am hoping they keep it the same and expand. Not completely change. That’s it.
If you don’t expect a discussion, I am not sure why you posted your thoughts at all, lol.
My point was I hope they keep stalker like a stalker game. I said it was an odd comparison because everything about max payne was not in max payne 3. They completely changed it. Alan Wake is closer to a max payne game than 3 is.
If you thought three was the right direction to go for you, that’s great. Like I said it’s a good game. But they drastically changed it.
Yeah it is.
Sam Lake and Remedy made masterpieces of story telling and atmosphere. Rockstar made a third person shooter. Polished and plentiful, not a bad game at all. But it was very far removed from what made Max Payne 1 and 2 great games.
Odd choice to mention.
I am far more hopeful for this.
Max payne 3 was a game. A Rockstar game. But not a very good max payne game.
There is a trending tab? Huh. I really only use youtube when I want something specific and I never use thier app or webpage so I had no idea.
I never did get a music subscription of any kind. Guess I am glad about that now. I just host my own server. Spotify never had a quarter of what I want to listen to anyways so I guess there is that.
Listening to Legion of Mary 12-10-1974 right now.
Thank goodness. I hate most current UI.
It’s funny that one thing I really liked about it was the floating windows and toolbar. Then everyone complained and they brought it all together. But now people I work with using software that we pay nearly a million dollars to license are getting all excited becuase they introduced… floating windows.
I am surprised anyone cares that much. I don’t. 900 games and a 20+ year old account and I fully get that it all just goes away when I die, it just doesn’t matter. That is simply part of the plan when you pay for the convenience of having a cloud of installers and save files.
My kids don’t care. They already have their games. If they wanted ones that I played they will buy it in a steam sale.
The things you need to care about are creative software. My kids would be pissed if the artwork I made could never be retrieved. But games? Meh.
At that point you might as well go with a steamdeck. Works with or without the mouse/keyboard/screen and can play games. The desktop environment is full kde and ready to go.
Thabks for posting this! Looks like steamdeck and linux are still out, but they think it is possibly fixed in the future.
Peanut butter on apple? Yeah. Also on celery is not uncommon.
But do you ever see little toothpick ready grapes smothered in peanut butter?
I am not a fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at all.
But it got me thinking, in this case it’s grape. Does anyone actually eat grapes with peanut butter? Like smear peanut butter on a grape?
I don’t think that sounds good, so by extension this whole thing looks awful.
I am not a fan of emojis in online conversation, but this time it does change how I perceived what you wrote. You are not happy about this? I would be so pleased if my country got rid of the penny.
Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:
Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.
Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.
By the way, several of the “features” you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.
I run both concurrently. I have a plex pass from way back when, maybe a decade or more.
What plex is now is not what it once was. Trying to socialize viewing habits, opting in by default to analysis, ads, reviews, and sharing that info has gone too far. Plex also works on these features such as discovery which benefits them, instead of open bugs.
That us why I can’t recommend it.
As for a feature comparison. Jellyfin is snappier, and faster. Plex is more detailed in their interface, and has better Metadata. Jellyfin sometimes doesn’t restart where I left off. Jellyfin is much, much better on mobile devices, but has less clients for tv’s. Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any server but my own, where plex wants to authenticate with thier own servers and ask for accounts (and money) to have full functionality. Jellyfin always downloads to a client. Plex…might. Plex has better handling of multiple streams in one file.
Because they are doing things in their best interest and not the end user.
As so many like to say here the enshitification is happening.
If you want to self host, plex isn’t it.
This is bizarre. My friends wouldn’t want random interruptions throughout the day and neither do I.
Follow? I don’t follow anyone, that seems so shallow …
Edit: but to be fair, we all like different things. Foss is about scratching you own itch, so if you feel you want an app like this (seems easy enough to do) you can always make it yourself.
Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.
You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.
