Haha well that reveals that you just never read it then.

They said they already went through this once before. Also you assume that “it’s weird” is some kind of vicious attack but it’s not.

Yeah now that I look back there are more than like 3 people not mad/rude about it.

Getting mad is kinda just what social media does

I would say it’s what the Internet does. Post a question on stack overflow and you’ll get the meanest responses each one telling you you’re stupider than the last. Same vibes in this thread.

I was just taking issue with the responses ignoring the context given, and rudely. If I say I can’t use something and why (and that why is other people’s opinions) it’s super unhelpful to angrily tell me why those other people are wrong. It’s irrelevant if they’re wrong or not. I think I could’ve overlooked whether it is relevant or not honestly, but comment after comment saying it, many of them with a shitty tone, is why I commented.

I’m working on a script that checks my files, dir structure, and audio metadata for issues. For basic problems that can be fixed with a command, the script outputs a suggested command in a csv. I’ve cleaned up many issues with the script so far…

Been thinking of sharing it but it’s still very much a WIP.

OP is relaying an opinion they got from multiple people and frankly an expected one. You got weirdly mad at them for it.

Firstly, sorry you’re having this problem and sorry the responses here have been nearly universally unhelpful and aggressive. This is a pretty perfect case study of what I don’t like about the fediverse. There’s a lot to like about this place but what drives me nuts is the unhinged and reality-divorced types who cannot understand something so simple as normal people thinking things are weird. Half the respondents here think you should scream at your coworkers about this and/or quit. You asked an incredibly reasonable and relatable question and mostly got shat on for it. Just wanted to say that someone sees how ridiculous it is, not everyone here is lost completely in their own (hateful) world. Sorry I don’t have a solution for you.

I thought QC meant QuakeC, the language John carmack made to code game logic in quake 1. Was so confused for a moment haha

Other than quake 3, the quakes have all been subpar after the first one. I liked aspects of 2, but 4 was trash. Quake live is just a revamp of 3, and quake champions is okay looking and kinda fun but starting to charge for it is the opposite move I would’ve expected because it’s just kind of okay and not many people will pay for it.

I wouldn’t say that Quake is more slow-paced, for me it was even more dynamic, especially if you start using rocket jumps etc.

In my opinion, the visuals were not, as you put it, “boooring”. I liked the atmosphere and I remember there being more colors than just brown ;) But it’s true that in general it has a rather gloomy palette.

Agree with everything you wrote but especially those ^

It was dark and gloomy on purpose and I loved (and still love) that. Op makes it sound like the art direction was lacking and that is hella-untrue. It’s just not their favorite kind of aesthetic.

would consider the multiplayer part of Quake nearly its own thing.

Well yeah. It was always the main thing. Quake 3 is just the first one where id was upfront about it.

It doesn’t sound like you played multiplayer. Which was kinda the point of quake.

I take issue with this review. Quake was awesome. The aesthetic, the graphics, the soundtrack and sound effects, the multiplayer, the weapons, all of them even today kick ass.

Primarily because it makes your setup easily repeated and able to be quickly stood up on new machine

A moron is recognized by most. Congratulations, you’re famously so.

Every fucking weird claim you make about Linux is so stupid/false it’s not worth the effort to disprove. All you are is an idiotic troll with nothing better to do than shill for corporations. I guess you left your safe space where you control the narrative because you banned everyone from countering your beyond-stupid lies there.

Lol says the infamous Linux hating weirdo troll. What are you doing outside your little safe space anyway?

Agreed. This app is pretty solid.

… You just literally said hosting shouldn’t exist. You are using the Internet right now.

Gotcha. We’ll see, I guess.

Are you advocating for an self hosting to only exist locally. Or are you advocating for hosting everything on corporate servers?

Then they aren’t doing it correctly, or lying. That is an included/free feature. They advertise it that way and other users ITT say it works. I’ve no reason to doubt them.

I didn’t realize I did that. Given that my opinion on OSes is that “the larger the budget, the shittier it is”, I don’t knowingly do what you’re suggesting here. Linux over windows and macOS any day.

Yes, they changed the free featureset, and afaik those changes were fair. Providing a tunnel for remote streaming for free doesn’t seem like a good business plan. I mean, yeah they could always back out of the promise of what a lifetime pass is, and if they do I will find a new solution and hope they’re sued for it.

If they do back out of their lifetime commitment, I suspect that would drive some other similar apps to get better. Maybe I would even learn to live with jellyfin as it currently exists in that situation. But so far I don’t see a reason to, and that would almost have been true if I never paid for plex.

God I hate humans

Here’s a controversial and complex stance, but you may be able to understand it eventually:

Don’t buy it.

I am a proponent of FOSS too but that doesn’t mean anything built for profit is shitty, let alone “cancer”.

So don’t expose it to the internet

No

Thwres zero excuse for running anything exposed to the internet.

…except this entire thread is based on a use case for it

With Plex you get to pay for those bugs and still have software that depends on a connection even though you’re hosting and viewing your own media, locally.

You’re condescending dude. I wouldn’t be using Plex if I didn’t understand like 37 things you’re implying I don’t understand here. I paid for it once, it was a good value for me, and I find it pretty weird that you apparently want to admonish me for that. If you want to use jellyfin have at it. I found it buggy to the point of barely being usable. Just sharing that experience and I don’t need anyone to agree with that.

I understand there’s an explanation for it. Doesn’t make these things not things to consider when choosing one’s solution
