I thought their implication was that they would use the WebUI for downloading videos for offline watching later. Beyond that, I don’t really know or care; Their suggestion was weird to me, but I took it at face value and replied accordingly.

I didn’t say I’m satisfied. I just think this comment-section about Plex’s rug-pull isn’t the place for such niche criticism of Jellyfin.

The one with no counter-plan, lamenting the scape-goating of American Jews when I’ve seen not a single article actually blaming them for this situation? Yes, but reading the noise doesn’t change the fact that its noise, contributing nothing to addressing the issue.

I mean, I bought the Lifetime Plexpass when it was on sale years back, so I have little reason to change my own setup, but I still have even less reason to stan them at Jellyfin’s expense.

Seriously, one is a paid service executing rug-pulls, and the other is a free and open-source project. This level of nit-picking at Jellyfin is a shit stance to take.

Your regular friends are constantly using your Plex server to download files for offline viewing, eh?

I know I’m in the minority, being less afraid of a Nuclear-armed Iran and/or North Korea than the sheer idiocy and malice of US foreign policy, since '98 or so, but it blows my mind more and more how people just can’t see it.

An invasion takes millions of lives, full-stop. There’s no way either country gets enough ICBM’s in the air to offset their entire territories being turned into glass parking lots. The cost-benefits ratio for both sides in all this posturing only makes sense if there’s a shared goal to keep their dictators in power.

I run ffmpeg on my phone. Alternately, I could shrink the file on my server and then download it without much trouble. You’re in a vanishingly small subset of users who know enough to care about file-size and know what can be done about it, but can’t be bothered to do it themselves.

I was avoiding suggesting getting more storage, but it sounds like in your case, keeping a 720p x265 version of each file(~1gb per movie) on-hand would cost you nothing.

Calling something “perfect” is pretty much praising it. Fuck that noise.

Don’t ask me? I’ll ftp before I’ll WebUI like so, but for online viewing, I’ll take streaming please. My kids, wife, and mother-in-law find that a million times more convenient.

Meanwhile, there’s a dude in these comments hating on the notion that Jellyfin’s app will download the Raw file for offline viewing purposes. Please, do not ask me to pretend to care what is going on in that person’s head. In my world, using VLC to play my files is a perk. Gimme that yummy 2x or slow-mo as I see fit, please.

Oh no! Please GOD, anything but tHe rAw fIlE!!

Seriously though, wtf did I just read? That can’t possibly be your real stance, can it?

No idea what Flatpak is, much? Jellyfin is open-source. If your distro isn’t providing you a .deb or tarball to your liking, that’s not on the Jellyfin project.

Fair enough.

… but they did, remove it from the Play Store.

Yeah, no, that’s not even a capability that Google has. Android is not built in a way that would allow them to do this, nor is there any rational reason they should alter it to do so.

Those advertizements tend to be porn, escorts, and “dating sims”. Stuff that main-stream ad companies, Google included, won’t touch. The search engines are not profiting from those ads.

Imagine thinking that piracy sites advertize, or generate any sort of revenue for search engines.

The userbase and lack of content curation/moderation has everything to do with that. The Chinese version gets a whallop of censorship as well, but yeah, their motivation to help other countries educate the young or avoid brain-rot is well in the negatives.

I mean, if TikTok US were more like TikTok China, with emphasis on educational content, there would never have been a problem.

This reminds me, I need to get back to having the occassional weekday off to help stock the local foodbank.

Funny, how you called them “Democratic”, not Leftist or ever Progressive. You certainly chose the right word.

The red state where I live is just California-adjacent, with less id-pol distractions from all the anti-youth, anti-protest, anti-immigrant, anti-minority fuckery that is all-to-alive and well there. I’ll remind you, also, that the legal overreach within 100 miles of the border means no-one, of any persuasion, is any safer from the government in California, Maine, New York, what-have-you, than my neighbors and I are in what is otherwise an irredeemable hell-scape portion of the country, or so I am told.

Edit: It occurs to me that not everyone knows about the 4th-Amendment-Free zone within 100 miles of the USA’s borders, including all coastlines, and encompassing several entire states.

Pretty sure I understand less about the slang now that I’ve seen it in this format, but I still prefer it to other encounters I’ve had.

Came here to say, I find this more palettable than most such refferernces in the wild.

Even starting from that point, its exceptionally non-sensical.

I have no idea what I just read re:“opium war activism” … search engine seems to see no difference between “activist” and “participant”, with no distinctions like “perpetrator”/“aggressor” or “victim”.

I was talking maturity-level, experience, education, etc. …and character, in particular.

Boys*

On-line surveys have always had this problem with bots and people with agendas. Its sad and comical they are pretending this is something new.

That 800k number is the saddest I’ve felt since the morning of the 5th. Wtf?

Californians are the reasons I left California. Just like Americans are the reason I want to leave this country more and more each day of my life, but still, nothing about that first issue has changed for the better since I left.

If you’re not bent-out-of-shape, then why keep up this charade? Stop coddling the orange man-baby.

If it causes him to waste time and energy replying, even in a speech in the vaguest of terms about his “haters”, it’s good enough.

Failing another dragon, death by a thousand cuts can kill a dragon, and there’s little exuse for holding punches when the dragon repeatedly demonstrates that it absolutely has to die.

Riiight, let me just go throw a small dick joke at, say, Ellen Degeneres, or Oprah, or even Ru Paul(iirc, theirs, if they still have it, was rumored to be large) … None of them would care. They would probably laugh at the notion of me getting worked up about it.

Toxic masculinity is bad when targetted at non-men, or non-masc-conforming men. Saying throwing a small-dick joke at Donald-Fucking-Trump is equivalent to calling Ellen small-chested, Oprah fat, or Ru Paul masculine, is bat-shit apologism, and I’m done responding to you on this bullshit.

Should have been

Tell them that. They’re the only ones getting more bent-out-of-shape about it than you.

Good. Fuck cheap oil. Help renewables win!

I’m still afraid to google what Russians consider sauce. Worst case, I have something in common with Trump, and that I cannot abide at the moment.

Adolf Hitler killed himself when Germany was invaded, ie, the world responding in kind to the lowest form of communication and behaviors(war), and was absolutely right to do so. He demonstrated less will to survive than basically any of the people he had sent to death camps.

Stop chastising people for punching up at the billionair class.

Being toxic is an invitation to be toxic. The subject has made clear the forms of communication within their grasp, and decency is not among them.

I have friends with similarly-low follower accounts that have been engaged with by Elon Musk on Twitter.

You fail to grasp the pettiness and narcissism of this particular brand of celebrity. They will go to stupid lengths to crush an ant that looks at them funny, never grasping what a complete waste of time and energy they are engaging in.
