• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plex is slow and the menus dont get right to the point

  That is true. I also hate having to change each episode separatedly to change subtitle/audio track. Apropos, jellyfin didn’t have subtiles download integrated on their menus, has that changed since last year? Not having that means manually downloading and syncronizing subtitles, and life’s too short for that kind of drudgery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what features you feel are lacking

  As I said, it was about a year ago. I vaguely remember not liking the layout when displayed on my TV, sorting shows/episodes not working correctly, watched list not being properly updated… that and assorted little bugs that finally tired me and I went back to plex

  I’m here on lemmy because I’m a reddit refugee, I spent almost 12 years there but came here when they did their little API shakedown shitshow. Lemmy is good enough for me, despite there being the occasional troll, like you seem to be.

  Just go Piracy.

  go Servarr or go bust, despite it requiring some amount of tinkering with docker to run smoothly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried jellyfin for about a month last year, but it lacked a lot of what I was used in plex, so I returned to it. But lately plex is really going downhill… has jellyfin improved somewhat in this time frame?

  Don’t throw away your old PC

  Literally first-world problems, right? There’s absolutely no need to tell that to someone that don’t live on a rich country. Old gear always finds some use or is sold/donated away.

  Buy another router that allows you to run openwrt and use the locked-down one just as a gateway to the new one, problem solved. My setup is somewhat similar – locked-down cable modem router that I can’t customize, bought a netgear router, installed freshtomato on it

  …but I’m not scared of the command line, in fact I use adb to remove bloat from my phone from time to time. What I said is that majority of people using android aren’t like us. But yeah, it’s good that tools like those you pointed out exists, I’m sure there is an audience for them

  That depends on your understanting of “professional”. Firefox has forks out here, LibreWolf for example, that removes the AI “features” and other bullshit that crept inside vanilla Firefox

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone At YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be simple for you, for me and for many around here, but… anything that involves adb is far from simple to the vast majority of people who use Android

  AI companies will try to worm their way inside governments around the world, to “enhance” it. Then they’ll become “essential” cost of running said governments, being “impossible” to remove without serious disruption.

  I do not recommend Mint for Windows users, because the officially supported UX layers are more apple-esque

  you can’t have a more classic desktop look and feel than using MATE, and it’s from the same people that maintains Mint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Metroidvania?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an fantastic game, as other have already told you. But I’d like to add that there’s a randomizer for it and this basically adds almost infinite replay value (at least for me!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Metroidvania?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a little old and more Metroid- than -vania: A Robot Named Fight
