What is the point of Plex? I just went straight for Jellyfin and it does everything I need and then some. Is it just that people went with Plex initially and then stuck with it as it got enshittified?

Personally I don’t enjoy setting things up. I do enjoy not being tied down to evil corporations.

Yeah. But this already happens, unfortunately.

I wouldn’t bet on it.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 4 weeks ago:
A couple of weeks ago I rebooted into Windows for the first time in well over 8 months, as I needed to use a piece of software I don’t have on Linux (it’s available, I’m just refusing to pay for it and no alternative method has materialised), and getting anything done was incredibly frustrating.
First everything had to update, and I was forced to log in to a bunch of stuff. My web browser spontaneously vanished, as did Discord. No idea why. Opening Explorer consistently took several seconds because it always decided to poll my external drive before displaying anything, even if I didn’t do shit in my external drive.
Explorer being slow applies on my work PC too, and I have to use Windows on that. Every day I wonder how it’d be to put Linux on it.
Nautilus just opens the moment I click on it. Always.

I hate Discord with a passion. Trying to get everyone I know away from it.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never been accused of being a smart man.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 4 weeks ago:
I worry that the replacement is more likely a move to platforms like Discord. I mean it’s already happened in a lot of projects.
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 5 weeks ago:
It amuses me that expressing understanding with the retaliation is forbidden. I definitely understand why a militant extremist group has arisen after decades of oppression and genocide.
Like, how do you negotiate your way out of that peacefully? Where in history has oppression on that level been defeated through diplomacy?
I seem to have forgotten the part where the allies defeated Nazi Germany by asking nicely. Surely no war was fought for recognising black people as humans in the U.S.
Perhaps Ukraine should put down their weapons and ask Russia to pretty please stop invading their country and killing their people.
Ugh.

I mean it’s in the name, Lutris. I am trying really hard to see a cowboy now though.
- Comment on EU could tax Big Tech if Trump trade talks fail, says von der Leyen 2 months ago:
Yeah! Why the hell should they benefit from our public infrastructure if they don’t pay their way? These are the actual parasites on society that the right wingers always claim to be so worried about.
- Comment on New 'DRAM+' memory designed to provide DRAM performance with SSD-like storage capabilities, uses FeRAM tech 2 months ago:
I’m here for the shade thrown in the comments, haha.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Swedes do this with Spain. Then they complain that it’s not Swedish enough. Hella weird.
- Comment on Did the EU just propose to add back doors to encryption mechanisms? 2 months ago:
Yeah. They keep doing that. Sweden is very gung-ho about fucking up privacy.

Thank you. Tried visiting the archive page but it blocked me and ironically enough wanted me to solve a captcha that’ll be used to train “AI.”
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 2 months ago:
Amazon is barely a thing here in Sweden. It’s niche drop shipped garbage for the most part, very similar to Wish and the like.
They have some non-garbage stuff at the same price you find elsewhere.
- Comment on Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble 2 months ago:
I don’t think we should be satisfied until they go bankrupt. When they do, their cars and their charger network will likely cease to function properly. Perhaps that could force some legislation against bullshit online-only cloud service practices for products like these.
- Comment on Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble 2 months ago:
They were really popular though. I personally think we should’ve had these numbers since late 2023 when our unions first begun the ongoing strike against Tesla for attempting to circumvent the way our labour market works. Or at the very least when Tesla shipped in bootlickers from elsewhere.
It’s better late than never, I guess.
- Comment on Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble 2 months ago:
Here in Sweden, only 3 out of ~24,000 newly registered vehicles in March were Teslas.
That’s honestly still 3 too many, but oh well.

Here’s an article. It’s in Swedish.
- Comment on Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates 2 months ago:
Hope so. They’ve been trying to undermine the Swedish job market here, and even fucking stalked their employees. Horrible company.

Who do? You do, with the power of voodoo.
- Comment on Musk’s X suspends opposition accounts in Turkey amid civil unrest 2 months ago:
Yeah so the solution there is to not just bow down to a dictator. If they want to block Twitter altogether, let them. Let’s not pretend that Musk isn’t willingly going along with that.
- Comment on Tesla shares plunge 15%, suffering steepest drop in five years 3 months ago:
I hate that it took a Nazi salute.
The intense amount of lying through the years, the racism, the shitty work conditions, the low quality cars, all of the software problems, the lawbreaking, the attempts at subverting the worker market… all that was fine apparently.

I think it’s more bizarre that you think “same corpo bullshit that Twitter is” is some kind of praise.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 3 months ago:
I’m wondering this too People are hyped about bluesky but it is the same corpo bullshit that Twitter is. I mean it is literally by the same dude. Why fold?,
- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 3 months ago:
It’s a little more complicated than that. Izanami and Izanagi both created a lot of gods together. They descended from the heavens and using a spear in the waters of creation, Izanagi created land. The both of them aren’t the original gods though.
Izanami and Izanagi are the last of the seven generations of gods, the Kamiyonanayo. Before them came the Kotoamatsukami, all coming into existence in solitude in Takamanohara at the creation of the universe.
- Comment on AI cracks superbug problem in two days that took scientists years 3 months ago:
“I wrote an email to Google to say, ‘you have access to my computer, is that right?’”, he added.
lmao right, because the support person he reached, if indeed he even spoke to a person at all, would know and divulge the sources they train on. Dude may think that all his research is private but they’re making use of these tech giant services. These tech giants have blatantly showed that they’re OK with piracy and copyright infringement to further their goals, why would spying on research institutions be any different?
