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.

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.

I’ve never been accused of being a smart man.

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.

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.

Oh yeah, absolutely not saying that the content should be dismissed, just surprised that any vegans would touch the platform. I’ve just not heard anything good about it.

Isn’t substack a Nazi site? Feels kind of weird that vegan content would be on there.

I mean it’s in the name, Lutris. I am trying really hard to see a cowboy now though.

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.

I’m here for the shade thrown in the comments, haha.

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.”

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.

They also don’t do logistics here. Utterly useless company.

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.

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.

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.
