Vote with your dollar and go to Jellyfin.
- Comment on Best way to browse and share files between hoarders? 1 week ago:
Yeah, forwarding a port to a server with SFTP allows you both to have two-way links. Have done this with some of my friends as well.
Sneakernet via a HDD is also damn helpful for initial bulk transfers.
- Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’m confused on why they wouldn’t push KPop Demon Hunters. People like it.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 week ago:
Yeah, some people get really defensive when you suggest they can get all the things they are asking for, and all they have to do is stop giving money to user-hostile developers. (And saying kernel-level anti-cheat is hostile to the user is a massive understatement.)
I understand if you don’t want to, but it is a quite reasonable suggestion to make.

and now they are saying they will never upgrade from 10 to 11
The stats show people are bailing this time. English speakers are jumping ship at historically unprecedented rates. Steam stats
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 week ago:
the old-style devices and printers menu is still in the OS, you just have to dig for it a bit, and it works 1000x better.
For the last 13 years this has been the most infuriating part of the incomplete control panel migration. I find myself struggling to use the new settings, and having to then resort to digging for the old ones that actually have the option I need.
Win 11 finally pushed me over the edge with ads and spying. But I still have to deal with Windows at work.

LibreOffice is good. While people don’t like learning new things, I found it does everything I could want.
I actually switched years ago because I didn’t want to pay for MS Office.

Have you seen any traction with Framework in the corporate space? They are mostly marketed at individuals, but since you specifically mention people wanting higher quality machines, Framework fits the bill.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 week ago:
It was possible to skip Vista and go straight from XP to 7.
It was possible to skip 8 and go straight from 7 to 10.
This time around, Microsoft is forcing Windows 11 as the only option and it is backfiring on them. People are rejecting it and the competition (Linux) has never been as good.
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 2 weeks ago:
This is only really appealing to console games as PC gamers have nothing to gain from buying one
I have a PC gamer friend who has an 8-year-old PC. He has said he is getting a Steam Machine.
What this offers PC gamers is a ready-made box. Some PC gamers don’t want to build a PC, they want to just buy it. And this offers a very standard package to get.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I’m honestly amazed console gamer have accepted paying for multiplayer. I had a PS2, and I remember being excited about buying a PS3. It has a blu-ray player! The graphics are so much nicer!
I never bought a PS3, it had paid multiplayer. Fuck that.

it could become the new standard for industry benchmarking/testing
Exactly. We are already seeing game companies mention the Steam Deck specifically in patch notes. This will give them a standard item to validate compatibility against. Any game company that wants to make sure they work on the most platforms possible will have a Steam Machine on-hand to QA with.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
However, Steam offers numerous deals several times a year, so it will be worth the investment. In the long run, owning a Steam Machine or PC will pay for itself.
And you also don’t have to pay monthly for multiplayer!
- Comment on !@$& Homelab Networking 2 weeks ago:
I hate, hate, hate when I fix something and I don’t know why the fix works. I want want my suffering to result in something learned so it doesn’t happen again.
- Comment on Stock market sinks as AI and interest rate worries grip investors 2 weeks ago:
As you approach retirement, you transitioning your stocks into bonds as well as into cash in high yield savings accounts. You do this because those investments are less risky and you need stability, not growth at that point in your life. You do this to avoid exactly the issue you bring up.
- Comment on Stock market sinks as AI and interest rate worries grip investors 2 weeks ago:
Indexes like the S&P 500 increase an average of 8% per year when held for decades. It isn’t ‘getting lucky’ and ‘hoping’, it’s investing in your future.
We’re propping up the oligarchs in the hopes that we fall into a “good” time to retire.
A rising tide lifts all boats; helping yourself helps others. You can choose to help yourself, or be defeatist and ignore the best, time-tested strategy there is: investing part of every paycheck into index funds.
- Comment on Stock market sinks as AI and interest rate worries grip investors 2 weeks ago:
So, yes. But also, this is exactly why you hold index funds for decades, not days.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
For an external drive? I guess I have never experienced that since external drives are already pretty slow.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, you will generally have a better time with exFAT, which is a format both Windows and Linux works with well. All my external drives get formatted as such.
