I don’t know anything about Jellyfin as a user but I’ve heard from others Jellyfin and Emby are ready to compete with Plex on a level playing field. Not sure if it’s an exaggerated hype or not. :P

Plex is fine as a whole, it just handles my music library kind of clunkily and doesn’t have much support for organization or dynamic playlists. It’s obviously meant more for movies and shows and that’s why Plexamp exists (which I don’t use).

Whenever I posted on /r/Plex on Reddit, people would comment that I should use another player, but that place is a cesspool with dedicated Plex haters; it’s so weird. Plex does function as a music player, it’s just a bit unfocused (design-wise) and bloated.

When I don’t want to boot up Plex I use mocp, a terminal-based music player, so I’m not in need of a fancy player like Deadbeef, Strawberry, Audacious, MediaMonkey, Musicbee, etc. but they do offer more to the user than Plex does.

Why? I’m Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It’s pretty contentious and fucked up. It’s not like I’m an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.

What conversations, specifically

Lol, okay, very specific. I’m also talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.

I use Plex to play music most of the time (I know, but it works). Do you know if there’s a webhook or script available that would scrobble from Plex to ListenBrainz? I skimmed the list of player integrations and didn’t see anything.

What conversations, specifically, are being stifled or overlooked due to US politics? The comm isn’t very active.

Not American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.

I’ve read that this is only going to continue to happen (and get worse) because we’re basically out of human-generated training data that’s publicly available on the internet, so models are being trained on content generated by other models. They literally make shit up constantly, and every generation gets dumber and dumber until they can’t even stay on topic or complete a coherent sentence anymore.

Edit: Here’s the post I was reading, written by Ed Zitron. It’s pretty well written and thoughtful, though it is an opinion article from some guy’s blog at the end of the day. Also, by “generation,” I mean generations of AI, not generations of people.

Yes, it was a rhetorical question. Thanks for your input.

Lmao, I had to read this so many times before I realized you’re talking about the uncut dicks’ foreskin. No, they are not prolapsed, lol. But they don’t usually look like that when erect.

“Well, you see, ‘surge pricing’ means raising prices during the most high-traffic times. Here at Kroger, we pride ourselves in raising prices slightly before and after the peak times, and that’s technically not surge pricing! It’s just dynamic pricing with surge characteristics.”

What’s the benefit to the customer here? Idk if a store where I live started doing this, I would just stop going there. I know that can be difficult with the grocery monopolies in a lot of places, but I would try my hardest.

I think facial recognition should be banned outright because it’s highly inaccurate, racially biased, and used improperly by law enforcement. But in cases like this, even just a ban for all non-law enforcement applications would be really helpful. People don’t benefit from this! Just corporations, and barely so.

In my work as a government contractor, I witnessed the use of facial recognition for access control (getting into certain parts of a building) in exactly 1 building (of several dozens) and it was so completely unnecessary that I was left wondering what kind of nepotism or budget surplus lead to the implementation of such a lame security tool.

Cool, now I have to find something else to sync my Obsidian vault to my phone. It just worked! Fuck. =____=

We reached out to Spreen directly via email and he delivered his own summary of his girlfriend’s messages. “It was something along the lines of i can’t believe you just did that, we’re done, i want my stuff. we had an argument in a bar and I got up and left, then she sent the text,” he wrote.

How did he feel about getting the news via AI summary? “I do feel like it added a level of distance to it that wasn’t a bad thing,” he told Ars Technica. “Maybe a bit like a personal assistant who stays professional and has your back even in the most awful situations, but yeah, more than anything it felt unreal and dystopian.”

This really is just more funny than anything else to me. Sucks it was on his birthday, though.

LMDE? The comfort of Mint with the stability of Debian. I picked it for my wife, who doesn’t want to mess with configs and tinkering around. I play tech support for her system when something goes wrong though.

Proof of what? A EULA doesn’t prove anything and it’s not even enforceable.

Literally why I chose Debian as my first distro for daily use.

It can’t! It’s too busy doing 500 km of burn-in after making it through testing. :(

Never join a robotics startup, lol. You will have to go to standup and it will be useless and annoying basically every time.

Yeah! It lets me focus on content instead of building the actual site so I thought I would suggest it given OP’s use case.

Also the CSS can be modified with a separate file that overrides the default, so it’s pretty customizable without touching the actual config files at all.
