I’ve only just learned that from another Lemmy poster recently, and had the same reaction, so now you too are cursed with the etymological knowledge and must share it far and wide.

I don’t have an answer, but wanted to point out: a fake grassroots effort is called astroturfing (due to it being fake grass)

Yeah, I’m not about to defend Samsung or their app distribution by any means, I just know they had the Plex app when I needed it.

Thanks for the heads up on Roku though, I appreciate it!

Is that on an Onn TV? I might have to go check it out again. Thanks!

Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

Edit: Yes, Samsung Tizen models can try and sideload an app, but that’s not something the vast majority of people are ever going to even think about, let alone figure out how to accomplish.

Edit 2: Well shiver me timbers, Jellyfin’s on those Onn TV’s. TIL.

Learn the difference between a necessary risk and an unnecessary one, and whenever possible, decide with intent when to deploy the latter.

Other than that, leave things better than you found them. That goes a long way.

Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post

Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.

Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks

(I’m only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)

Edit: yep.I’m an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don’t shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!

From the rest of the posts it is clear you just want to be contrarian.

It’s not though… It’s complying with a rule/guideline/law in a malicious manner, knowing the other party can’t argue that you didn’t do as demanded. It’s literally the phrase that means what you asked.

Malicious compliance

Je suis American and only just learning some French, I’m glad you came along with better notes. Gramercy, in fact!

Gramercy, in lieu of “thank you very much.” I don’t know why, but it’s something from Mallory’s King Arthur stories that always stuck with me and I think it deserves a revival.

ETA: for those unaware, it’s a conjunction of the French gran merci, which translates the same way you probably suspect: big thanks, or grand thanks, or in other words, thank you very much

I mean, it’s not like that at all, but it’s ok to not care for it still. Lemmy is a federated platform, just like Pixelfed is, and Mastodon, etc. Those would be the providers in the example from before.

Edit to add: Literally every time the word “instance” comes up in the manner noted above, it’s woth regard to a Lemmy instance, or a Mastodon instance, and rarely if ever have I noticed a reference to a “fediverse instance”. I have no clue where your comparison comes from.

I would think the jargon would be “I chose fedia.io as my Lemmy provider,” or similar for other federated platforms.
