It’ll be choice paralysis for new movies and people will just watch the oldies if any movies

Less time on it means less chance to get addicted. It becomes less standard to have it out around friends

Kids shouldn’t be stressing about the shit that comes up in social media feeds or the insecurities social media preys on. It’s also not a choice, because if some kids use it and others can’t the others will feel excluded.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 5 days ago:
While I agree, it’s also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don’t make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work
- Comment on Optimal Plex Settings for Privacy-Conscious Users 1 week ago:
Here’s some thoughts I posted on a different post lemmy.world/comment/15822959 I was running jellyfin off the same server and hardware as Plex, yet it’s less efficient and performant.
- Comment on Why is it sometimes difficult to start doing what one enjoys? 1 week ago:
In a world where everything is optimised to give you immediate rewards and happiness an act that is a bit frustrating to start with or that requires a modicum of effort will lose out to those temptations, unless you make an extra effort to stick to a schedule to rewire your brain to get used to it as part of a routine

I care more about people being properly rewarded in this capitalistic world than worry about the open source world.

Cool then buy at least one copy of a book instead of pirating them.
- Comment on Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically 2 weeks ago:
What’s wrong with just using tidal in a browser? Zen just added a media player widget too so it’s almost like having a native app that’s always controllable on screen
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 2 weeks ago:
Honestly I’ve tried jellyfin and I have a hard time agreeing with this for a few reasons:
- UI generally more unresponsive than Plex;
- changes to correct a show/movie being assigned the wrong show/movie metadata very slow to propagate if at all, same for changing other library options like title language preference;
- generally slower to buffer and get into videos;
- very rough android lollipop UI;
- not as easy to set up tech illiterate friends for play together.
I’ll give you that morally jellyfin is less customer-adverse than Plex management is at the moment and it is more open in some ways so you can have more plugins and add-ons that Plex lacks, and sure it’s a free product so it should be given some leeway, but if I just listened to all of the people saying jellyfin is just so much better I’d think it was an objectively better offering, but it’s not. When it comes to what I care about, it fell short, so just giving my 2 cents. Still worth trying, considering you can just point it to the same media folders, but yeah not god’s gift on earth.

See my reply to the other person for a couple of fonts to try :)

Well yes but beauty standards for typography run counter to accommodating for dyslexia, especially for sans serifs. Similarity in shapes, curves, weights, and stroke width are seen as beautiful, but they’re exactly what must be given up for more accessible typography.
Someone else in the comments here did mention Bionic Reading though, and there’s a free alternative in Fast Font, which has a gradient of weights for each word from black for the first letter to thin for the last one. Might be something to consider

- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 4 weeks ago:
Thinner* since there are people actually wanting smaller phones (and I have a jack on my zenphone 10 so size isn’t an issue), they’ve been blaming thinness and water resistance for the drop of the jack
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 5 weeks ago:
The truth is though that it’s not an apple-specific thing. On the android side Asus was the last large phone maker to ship modern small phones, and even they have taken over their zenfone line (small phones line) with a large phone for the ZenFone 11.
Based on reports from companies, it sounds like the market is just not there, at least not big enough to warrant the R&D compared to “regular” phones which make them good money.

I said it renames the part the US controls, this argument of renaming the entire thing is a figment of your imagination, or you’re replying to the wrong message. Replace “renamed” with “named” in my sentence and then you have no leg to stand on. Your example is stupid, china is not “a part the US controls”, please do not engage in replying to my comments if you’re just going to strawman me.

That’s literally what I said my dude, you’re just arguing semantics over “renaming”

Actually the executive order only renames the parts that the US controls, and they don’t control the entire gulf
