You can get extensions which make the homepage redirect to your subscriptions page. Lifesaver imo.

Weird, I have permanent access to Samurai Champloo on my Jellyfin server. I would have paid given the option, but, y’know, they wouldn’t sell this kind of service.

Our customer support is full of (older) people buying stuff from us. Not everyone likes using websites when a phone will work!

Cheers for the citation

I guess it’s the one I care least about that I listed. Substitute in the overtly racist subreddits, if you wish, as they surely didn’t deserve a platform.

The myth of Aaron Swartz continues…

He was a big proponent of free speech absolutism. He’d have been more than happy with the jailbait subs, watchpeopledie, fatpeoplehate etc. I really don’t think he deserves a free pass just because Reddit wasn’t enshittifying while he was around, as it was in a growth phase. It had other problems which needed resolution.

Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.

Kinda crap advice for novices, as shorting means uncapped losses if you’re wrong. You’d have to be very confident other people are making a mistake, as other investors may not worry that power users no longer like Reddit, and stock could still go up.

I know exactly what I’d do with it.

Get into gunpla, of course.

Whistleblower laws need strengthening. Snowden’s leaks, for example, were clearly in the public interest and needed to be leaked. It’s an unjust country that can’t see that and spare him.

Really exposing the Valve fanboyism in the room. Steam genuinely takes quite a long time to start. People pretend it’s quick because they leave it running, while cold booting Epic/alternatives and complaining.

Yeah, very annoying to be told a word is “new” when I know it well, and vice-versa be expected to have done whole lessons on other words that I’ve never seen before. That said, not many options for Hungarian, I’ve only seen Drops as an alternative daily app.

I emailed Gabe directly when I had an edge case like that. He forwarded it and it got resolved.

It doesn’t, we know from their Apple lawsuit that publishers are given pre-negotiated fees for the whole giveaway.

Honestly, buying a disc for a new game and selling it a month later is still the cheapest way to play new things without being constrained by a subscription’s library. PC is excellent for old/indie stuff going cheap, but discs are awesome.

I cannot fathom why Plex is so dominant while Jellyfin, for my taste, is better. And Jellyfin is explicitly free, contributors cannot be paid, because they are funded by their intense hatred of capitalism.

The Steam Deck has helped bring it to light. I loved the Hitman games, for example, but I won’t buy the studio’s 007 game if that has the same always-online-singleplayer shite.

I’ve done that for my Jellyfin server, but some things are too rare and niche to be sure of results unfortunately.

I use Justwatch to figure out where films and shows are, and even then it’s grim how many aren’t available to stream, or even buy legally.

Jellyfin is king. Plex is corporate-in-waiting, wishing it could have infinite growth infinitely. Jellyfin is just some people makin a thing.
