Imagine still using Reddit in 2025.

Me literally every time my friends start bitching about Instagram.

Plex isn’t perfect, but the open-source aspect of Jellyfin is holding the platform back. Fractured development across its third-party ecosystem prevents any clients from being as functional as apps like Plexamp while also creating hyper-focused support for popular platforms and leaving smaller platforms virtually unsupported.

This is a strange take. Being open source doesn’t cause unfocused development and platform prioritization issues. Those both happen to proprietary software, especially the latter.

These are more symptoms of it being a community project rather than developed by a company, but community FOSS projects can also be run very effectively. There are many examples of this.

A lot of FOSS development is done by the people who use it. So I suspect as more people move away from Plex, a subset of those users will help contribute to the aspects of Jellyfin they care about.

Jellyfin development is accelerating, while Plex’s enshittification is accelerating. The line is different for everyone, and one by one, I suspect Plex will cross them all.

It’s Microsoft BASIC btw.

Another situation where many people will be surprised to find out it wasn’t already open source. It’s kinda comical to imagine them caring to keep that source code a secret decades after its deprecation.

It took me a minute too…

While the original meme is cringy gatekeeper shit, I think the joke is that person replying to the picture called tux “club penguin”.

How else can I have live ISOs of various Linux distros at the ready?

There have been so many cases of tech companies being caught lying about what data they collect/sell, the only way to be really sure is to never give them the data in the first place.

I would argue that if you used AI, you still haven’t done any writing.

I don’t think you can definitely say that you wouldn’t have done it anyway. That’s speculative based on a theoretical situation.

It’s possible you might have been moved to write if AI never existed, maybe not. But whatever you do write without AI is actually something you made, good or bad. LLM output isn’t.

If you already know NFS and it works for you, why change it? As long as you’re keeping it between Linux machines on the LAN, I see nothing wrong with NFS.

Who TF DDoSs the AUR? Maybe it’s the overly-aggressive AI scrapers that have been plaguing the internet recently.

Not from a Jedi.

I don’t even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. ❤️

Never underestimate people’s stubbornness to stick with enshittified platforms.

Considering how the US government is currently burning its agencies to the ground, I’m pretty sure that would be even worse.

As far as the Fediverse goes, yes. I looked into kbin a while back, and it looked promising, but Lemmy had a huge start and it seems like kbin’s development has halted.

Understandable, I’m mostly just commenting on the demographic in this particular Lemmy topic.

I get that “just port it to Linux” is no easy undertaking, especially if multiplatform wasn’t part of the original architecture.

This project looks interesting, and this update does come with some significant improvements. However, I imagine on Lemmy you’ll find a pretty high percentage of Linux users, who won’t be able to use the client. Something like this with a Linux client that can integrate with Lutris to install games would be really cool.

People angry that Superman represents kindness

Do these people exist? Is it just one troll, or a significant enough of a population to even give the slightest bit of thought?
