If you do, please remind me.

I also do this. But I do not necessarily think it as a bad thing.

I do not need to finish the book in one sitting, it's fine to wander, I usually just just went on a tangent on a relevant topic though. Reading for an hour is fine, as is a 5 minute session.

Maybe immersing myself reading books just not that fun for me. But I can sit for hours studying music even without touching my instruments, just reading the chart and analysing the harmony and what not. I think reading like any other skill, needs training and I just haven't give it enough time.

I'm a late millennial, and like it or not I'm used to being able to access relevant context and information with just a click (like Wiki).

I'm also on this camp. I get the significance, but I think I just didn't resonate with what they wrote, and the "old" production.

Here and there I found a great version someone else performed and was surprised to find it's a Beatles song, then I heard the OG and went "yup, still not for me".

Is BCAA different from normal protein powder?
Also, why does it taste better for you?

Intro skipping works pretty well once you set it up and give it time to scan.

Iirc the feature used to be an add-on with module and I read here somewhere it now baked in out of the box, is that the case ?

You may wind up transcoding even if you think you really shouldn't have to

I thought there's an edge case somewhere but from your explanation I don't think I need transcoding for video. Not that I don't want it.

My NAS is old, like, i3 2100 old. So I just make sure the media can be played directly on my 2 client locally, so I don't know how much HW transcode improve the performance but if it's usable, that's a nice bonus. Maybe if I ever get a 4K display but that's a problem for future me.

I spent a lot of time getting the metadata right in Plex

Pretty much yeah, I really don't wanna mess with the music library

Thanks for the answer.

I think I'll give it a try then.

Is there any consensus which client is better for desktop and android ?

Thank you.

Since you run both, I have a few questions if you don't mind.

I don't have a plex pass but, so the only feature I want is intro skipping and from what you mention I understand it needs tinkering. Acceptable for me.

My usage is pretty simple if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

The client used currently is a desktop client on arch/windows and I don't need hardware transcoding. The server and libraries are on Truenas.

I don't need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.

Finished a marathon of GoW and Ragnarok, I want more.

I planned to play Disgaea 7 or refantazio but I honestly just want more Kratos. Sindri ending is too much of a cliffhanger

https://xkcd.com/2501 to some extent.

Yeah, Linux user can/willing to read instructions that (the important part IMO) unfamiliar to them, that's like not what average user would do.

Most users know how to install something on Windows, they've used it since they were toddler and whether or not you think it's a better experience in Linux is irrelevant.

Most software they need in Windows has a giant download button on the respective site, double click the downloaded file and you're done.

99% of the time you can immediately start the program or there will be a shortcut on the desktop.

Also, gaming. Like it or not it is a casual workload, and it's not as straightforward on Linux.

Preach !

It is also annoying when it happens in one of those questions like explaininglikeim5 or askscience etc.

"What an interesting question with so many comments, let's see what OP thinks of all the responses " and then they just disappear into the void.

It was conjured from your thoughts, give us some follow-up from your brain.
