This is why I moved to Emby. I use a different player on all my devices and all my content is HEVC or H264 with AAC or DTS so never an issue playing. No need for premium either.

Jellyfin is on fumes. They made a call for help a couple of years ago but since then, haven’t had much of any. They found a critical bug last build I think and where supposed to disclose the details around the end of last year and it’s May now. No news.

There’s a ton broken and no one to really fix it. I remember posting about a bug and a long standing contributor just basically blamed the scraper and said well that scraper is shit.

I got the sense most of the older crew just gate keep but don’t actually work towards making the thing better.

Lmao. People really are just out there on the raggedy edge. The watch communicates with a shit ton of sensors and other tech only found on Apple devices. Also, last I checked, I can’t run an Android Watch on iPhone fully, there is always a slew of things that don’t work or kinda work. Maybe Apple didn’t want that experience for its users.

You need a Mac to build Apple apps because why in the actual fuck would you use a PC to do that!? What’s the point?

I’m not defending Apple as they clearly gate a lot of shit but the complaining about the dumbest shit ever doesn’t make them Nazis. Also, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, all of them are the same level of asshole. Big Tech is trash. This is not new news.

Uhhhh, source? Those are pretty bold claims to just casually toss out

Principles!? They have less of that than craftsmanship!

Trusting MS to make quality products. Lmao

Honestly their results have been absolute shit for a while now. All I get are big business (mostly MS with Bing) results like Amazon links or worst yet, some BS AI built website with poorly stolen info meant to just push visitor traffic and not actually provide value.

I’ve been looking into alternates and find Yandex actually provides real results. They don’t blacklist either something all the major US engines do because DMCA.

At this point it’s like to I give up privacy and get real results or stick with DDG that seems in MS’ pocket so I have little trust they are still anonymizing your results.

Yeah I have no doubt that was the original idea. But now it just filters out all but 2 candidates that are paid for by big business and other outside investors. All of them foaming at the mouth to get whatever law makes them another billion eradicated or passed.

Definitely a lot of biases but I’ve never met anyone outside the US that even remotely likes Trump. I think the world really sees your presidency as a total joke. But I mean Bush Jr… twice.

Not relatively. Been that way for maybe 8 or more years. They also monitor the number. I’ve made 3-4 accounts using one over a series of maybe 5 years and when I tired to make a new one, it blocked the number for making too many. So I can now never have a Google account unless my number changes. And the poor sod who picks up my old number is also screwed lol

Hi. I’m not American. But we all understand Trump’s threats. Or the inherent threat he poses. I think I speak for the world.

I’m more worried about a system that let someone like that get this far!

You mean their build quality was actually good at one point?

I bought one of their first mice. It was $200 and their flagship product. The paddles on left and right click squeaked. They squeaked. Because the plastic was so cheap and the way they built it. I didn’t look at them for like 10 years. Bought their Viper Pro 2 couple of years ago. The receiver went and then the wheel went a year later. Never had either of those go on any other mouse and I’ve used a ton over the past 15 years. All gaming, flagship.

They resolved the matter but doesn’t make their build quality good.

Because bags of money. And MS is a hyper toxic entity that’s been siphoning the data of every Windows user for decades now. That company is basically IBM during WW2.
