Wow. Hope you calm down later and realize what an insufferable cunt you’re being right now. (I’m not going to give you a retort anymore, because it’s clear that all of that is falling onto deaf ears. Fucking hell.)

I’m not a member of the Plex community, never have been.

so what can I trust the jellyfin community to do?

Clear double standards. Just use the product if you want to.

yes please explain to me what I have to do.

Alright, man. Do what you want. I’m just pointing out that you have a weird double standard, ffs. Have a great day. (Or maybe not, I don’t wanna tell you what to do.)

maybe focus on more of that and less shitting on Plex

Also, you seem to be happy to tell people what they need to do. (I realize I’m being petty and annoying here, but that’s kinda on purpose for this one. I get pretty fucking frustrated by double standards.)

No. You know you don’t need to join a community for using something, right? I didn’t join a community for my dishwasher. Not even for most of my apps, actually. It’s very easy. When you choose corporate, you’re giving money for shit service. There’s literally no way for dissociate from that. On the other hand, you can simply not participate in a community, no one’s forcing you. It’s just weird that you’d still prefer the corporate way.

I’ll take a corporate shitheel company over a roach infested toxic community any day.

What an asinine fucking take. Even if Plex were better than Jellyfin in every single way (it isn’t), this take would still be asinine. I mean, wtf dude. You can just not care about the community and everything keeps working. A “shitheel” company will do everything to make your experience suck.

PhotoPrism. There’s a paid hosted option if you don’t wanna self host.

I agree with most of the programs that others have posted. I’ll just mention two that I absolutely love but no one has mentioned yet, rsync and mpv.

I’m not the guy you’re replying to, but it is a bad analogy since learning to read a language leads to more exciting things, even if you don’t enjoy reading books. You can communicate, do science, watch movies with subs etc. But learning chess does not make you good at anything else. (Tbh, I’m speaking out of my ass here, and will stand corrected if presented with research showing otherwise.)

Lol, I can relate. My friends are always surprised how good I am at a game when I’m playing for the first time (mostly card games, and board games). But I quickly get bored, so never get to be actually good at any of those.

Same with language. I can pick up a little bit of any language fairly quickly, but to actually learn it, I basically need to be forced e.g. live in a place where most people don’t speak anything else.

Wtf are you talking about? I’m gonna give you the benefit of doubt, and assume that you’re replying to the wrong thread.

Huh?

Lol. Just in case someone finds it useful, the math of game theory has very little to do with games.

I’d argue that there is a certain kind of creativity in coming up with those moves. But since it’s mostly a solved game now, modern players probably don’t experience it anymore.

You also need a sharp memory. I’m good in math, but terrible in remembering things. I forget terms that I’m actively doing research on, and constantly need to look at notes. (Aside: I work on modular forms, and often write them down as MF in my notes. I have more than once read that aloud as motherfucker, once in front of my advisor. Dude is chill, so it’s fine. But I dread the day it happens during a talk lol.)

It’s very hard to find non-electric trains in India. In my >23 years spent there, the only time I encountered those were in the hill regions. And this map does align with that i.e. places with high altitude railway tracks seem to have a lower percentage of electrification in general.

It’s actually a pretty rare sight. The pictures you see online are mostly historical, and sometimes Bangladeshi. (I have nothing against them. In fact, I speak Bangla as my first language and can relate to them more than I do to north and south Indians. But they do still have that issue to some degree.)

Best political, probably Kolkata 71. Parasite is also very good. Best apolitical, I have to go with Panther Panchali. It’s so hard to just choose one movie, my answer will probably change if you ask me again in a few days. A list of 20 might do it a bit more justice lol.

I’m doing a PhD right now. I understand.

Caddy is the way.
