My tech-illiterate mom uses my Jellyfin instance with no issues. I sent her a link to the app store, her credentials, my server’s hostname and that was it. And once it’s set up, Jellyfin is much more straightforward to use than Plex.

Sure Jellyfin has issues and doesn’t support as many types of devices, but Plex is far from perfect. I use it like twice a year, and the UI gets more and more confusing with each update IMO.

They’re at the “right to do whatever the fuck we want” stage.

Plex sucks but jellyseer, the *arr stack and jellyfin are all open source and entirely free. Together they provide an experience almost as straightforward as any commercial streaming platform: find a media on jellyseerr and request it with a single click. A few minutes* later the media is available in Jellyfin, and you can watch it on your computer, smartphone, smart TV, …

*with Usenet and a good internet connection

They have quotas to fill. Makes sense for them to pick these low-hanging fruits.

“This is for Gaza, you fucking 4 year-old with cancer!”

Problem is, all it does is push them in the wrong direction. My father went from “I don’t care about any of this shit” to “what the fuck do you mean I can’t go on my quarterly golf trip??” and on to “Bill Gates murders Indian children with vaccines and also have you heard about RFK Jr?”

Fuck Facebook man…

Exactly. My family is like “why does this bother you so much? You have a good job, a house a family, great holidays! All of this doesn’t affect you at all!”

“Well yeah, I guess I could just ignore that the world is going to shit and that people less lucky than me are suffering through all of it…”

Well yeah, “they” being the VP of the FN :)

Here you go. My translation of the email :

During the upcoming years we will only make it if we make substantial savings thanks to the European parliament, and if we manage to get additional subsidies.

It’s just not a bookkeeping error, there are internal emails where they state that they wouldn’t be able to keep the lights on without paying their staff with our taxes.

Look up your phone on dontkillmyapp.com and make sure tailscale is excluded from battery and network “optimization”.

This is the Thought Police, brought to you by the people who invoke 1984 when their putrid opinions get called out on the internet.

To be fair, I’m not sure what Obama did to deserve this…

Yeah that’s a nice reaction, the other dude wasn’t being a jerk so no need to make him feel bad about it.

Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn’t have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.

Exactly, they’re removing them so they can buy new ones from Elon.

The VBA part of the meme is real, VBA is (was?) localized. Turns out it’s a horrible idea: some keywords are badly translated, some are not translated at all. Googling localized error messages is useless, so you need to guess the original error message from the translation. Want to copy/paste a function from SO? Not so fast, you need to translate the keywords first! And the variable names as well while you’re at it.

Ironically, you end up spending a lot of time on translation-related issues. I’ve worked on a french-VBA app, and it was a miserable experience (well, even more miserable than english VBA).
