It used to be a really popular subject of discussion in normal-people-internet a couple years ago when it was released.

- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it’s better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don’t see the full picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it’s Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

I’m not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don’t show up despite being selected. I guess I’m really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Both will happen. 🤞
Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don’t want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I’ll simply wait until JF fixes the support.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can’t switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There’s a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It’s annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don’t want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.
Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there’s no point in switching. At this point I’ll only switch is JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

I’m starting to suspect that some people can actually read and finish books.

My guess is they are gonna switch to an ARM SoC, similar to one in Frame.

Apple has its own can of worms, but privacy usually isn’t the issue. At least in comparison to other tech giants.

I think that’s “pissed in”, which is different.

There are plenty of ethical things you can do with $1 billion. It’s the acquisition that’s questionable.

As I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.

On MacOS, at least for now, AI isn’t prominent at all. I’ve been using an M4 Air for a month before I remembered that Apple Intelligence was a thing and had to google how to use it. So far it only seems to be partially available in 1st party Apple apps which I don’t use anyway.

- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 2 months ago:
I wasn’t talking about LAN but but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.
But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

I wouldn’t say it’s ugly per se, but it’s rather distinctive and we have developed an association with it.

The “slop” part they’re talking about is the logo itself. You can tell it’s made by Sora because of the font, and to an extent the proportions of items being off.

And you can barely even tell this was made with Sora.

I don’t think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.
