they really are trying to fuck themselves over, aren’t they?

i’m gonna switch as soon as game devs realize linux needs anticheat support.

and i know a lot of people who don’t care what operating system they run as long as they can use their web browser on it.

i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.

how do people actually play this?

i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.

it’s just so… stale

some bands, and their fans. you can make a cassette look pretty dope.

and i’ve heard prisoners often only have access to cassettes.

there’s still two left over in our household. while one is really heavy but manageable, the other one hasn’t been moved in years. probably for the best.

i carry an emergemcy audio adpater ony keychain now, thanks fairphone.

also, two of the 4 audio adapters i have are starting to break down, forcing me to buy new ones. real sustainable you guys

and yes, the one fairphone sells is one of the broken ones.

If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.

self driving cars would basically be more comfortable and also more expensive public transport.

i for one like to control when i go where at what speed, at which interior temperature, at a great increase in comfort, with a good deal more privacy and in a vehicle i own.

a coexistence of public and private transport to fit everyone’s needs and demands would be ideal, but another culture war seems likelier.

meanwhile actual human drivers continue to get worse at driving, partially caused by the many driving “assistants” which won’t stop making seemingly random noises. while also enabling the driver to look at their phone while completely ignoring traffic “because they have lane keeping and distance control”

cars around me have my full attention, because my car doesn’t interfere wuth my ability to drive. (2002 yaris btw)

rant over, sorry. i just really hate modern cars.

i already run jellyfin, i’ll check out how it works.

if they pull this shit with music, i’m gonna have to look for self hosted music streaming apps.

who knew that an impossibly cheap computer was harvesting your data with a butchered open source operating system with a lot of closed-source stuff added to it?

sounds familiar…

with sonic runners, they had to reverse engineer the whole server infrastructure. i’d say the chances of you patching out server checks without decompiling the entire game are low.

but i’m not any kind of programmer, so i’d love to be proven wrong.

been using antrenamer, filebot looks like it’s gonna make my job much easier.

the next time i’m reorganizing my (3TB btw) library, i’ll give it a try.

filenames following the standards of library apps like jellyfin, plex, etc.

i don’t want every file to be named “[ASDF]some.shitty.show.S3E7.MULTI(360p h264 7.1 dual audio).mkv”

jellyfin can’t identify most of these, and the relevant information can be found out easily by tapping properties (in windows, anyway)

i have more than 10 playlists for different genres and occasions, the ““smart”” shuffle helps pad those out since otherwise the playlist would be like 20 songs long.

the recommended songs at the bottom are often pretty bad, but for every 10 shitty songs there’s one worth adding to the list.

occasionally i also listen to full albums, often only from bands i really really like.

i get that spotify influenced how i do it, and i don’t have a problem if people do it differently. but an algorithm is a major plus for any music platform (from my perspective)

i probably won’t start pirating music, but if spotify continues to enshittify itself i’m gonna have to look for alternatives.

i’m a big fan of music streaming, the way i listen to music only really works with a discovery algorithm. but the way streaming services and labels have been unnecesarily fucking over the customer as well as the artist is getting ridiculous.

qobuzz could be a possible alternative, with them providing FLACs and/or CD quality tracks to purchase and download, but also having a subscription plan. they say more money is going to the artist. the only thing missing is the algorithm.

go ahead, tell me i’m “corrupted by capitalism” or whatever. this is the way i want to do it. there’s no point in building up a collection worth hundreds and thousands of euros now, apart from FLACs being gigantic files and taking up all of the storage on my phone. plus i would cut myself off from being able to discover good artists the way i’m used to.

in my experience, upscaling tends to either just blur the image or make up details. i recommend keeping the 4K media.

this is the kind of black and white thinking lemmy does best.

EDIT: i retract this statement. i was wrong

i was severely misinformed about what antifacism is. i was under the impression that “the antifa” was a group by itself instead of a mindset.

having a seperate numpad rocks!
