Plex. I'm not sure if Jellyfin is foss, but if it is, I haven't felt like converting my library. I've put a lot of work into making it just right.
Steam, obviously.
other than video games, I think that's really it. I still use some others, like Spotify, but not primarily, I just like to have options.
That and jokes about refusing to call it X
Clearly whoever wrote this has not tried torrenting popular content 🤨
I think about this constantly. I'm constantly very upset about it. I've lost friends to cancer and freak accidents, and the loss of the internet is still genuinely the greatest tragedy in my life. The internet is, in large part, nothing more than a series of very customizable and semi-niche subscription packages and big box stores now. VR, particularly VR Chat, is close to/reminiscent of what it used to be like, so I cling to that, Lemmy, piracy, archive.org, and a few other things very tightly, but VR is starting to enter an era comparable to when cable internet started to become commonly available (and full of obnoxious unsupervised children), so it's on its way out; not to mention the continued attempts to ruin the internet archive, which will be, not hyperbolically, the greatest loss to our species since the destruction of Alexandria.
We had it all, and it got bought out from under us, and there's nothing to be done about it. People en masse don't even know what we're missing. I hate it. I'll never get over the obsolescence of specialized forums in favor of social media, in particular.
That an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being created all of existence, knew everything that would ever happen and everything its creations would ever do, but still either doomed to damnation or lifted up to paradise each one of them as a result of them doing exactly what they'd been programmed to do
I've done a shitload more than dabble, and I assure you, it didn't end me up here. This is just people who desperately lack critical thinking skills.
Water is in every beverage, this question is unanswerable.
Even without trying to be pedantic, what about Vitamin Water? Cuz my answer would genuinely be tropical citrus vitamin water. I could also do Mountain Dew, which btw contains water.
So the question becomes based on the exclusion of water without additives, which begs the question, why not lemon water then, and what amount of additives qualifies it as 'not water' anymore? If I use lemon extract and sugar does that count as lemonade? If so, why isn't water with lemon extract considered unsweetened lemonade?
I'd be a thousand percent down if I didn't think it'd be a subscription service that only exists to exploit me
Winning is good, right? Yeah, but not if it's too easy
That's how you feel about it, though, not an objective thing everybody feels the same about. I absolutely cheat whenever I'm finding a game too difficult, and I assure you, I'm still enjoying the game. I don't know what people get out of what I find to be the extremely infuriating act of repeatedly failing over and over until I finally get it right, but I have not ever felt the sense of accomplishment I'm told I should feel after finally beating something I struggled with. I feel angry and like I wasted a bunch of time when I could have been enjoying something more fun.
I'm just trying to have a good time, not compete with myself or prove that I can learn just the right way and right time to hit certain button combos or whatever.
They forged an FBI document using a real agent's name in order to SWAT his house (the actual agent whose name they used has publicly stated that she had nothing to do with this case and never wrote that document), gave ERW's ex the agent's name with a fake number as the only contact to discuss custody of their son after illegally absconding to Tennessee with him under the pretense of being threatened by MM, filled said toddler child's head with so much fear of MM that he began drawing pictures of "the evil man" who is the reason he's not allowed to see his father anymore, gave several women a checklist of abuses to create a cohesive story and told them that a) just because they don't remember it happening doesn't mean it didn't and b) they're hurting the other women's chance for justice if they don't agree that it happened to them, just for a few examples. I think I'm using those words perfectly appropriately.
Claiming that someone is lying about SA without listing evidence could in and of itself be triggering, discussing SA at all could be triggering, one would assume that entering a thread about SA could be triggering. I'm not sure I agree that referring to these two as psychologically unhinged would be more triggering than any of the other content of this thread, or more specifically any of the rest of the content of my post accusing them of making it up. Incidentally, I'm using the term psychopath literally, not colloquially;
Individuals with psychopathy (Antisocial Personality Disorder) display a decrease of emotional response and lack of empathy with others. This individual might possess a superficial charm but deep down is manipulative and impulsive. A psychopath is characterized by a lack of regard for the rights and feelings of others, controlled and manipulative behavior, the absence of shame, and an inability to form emotional relationships (Morin, 2021). They are incapable of loyalty to individuals, groups or social values. They are grossly selfish, callous, irresponsible, impulsive and unable to feel guilt or to learn from experience
I concur. It feels like Spacey is gonna just have his name cleared now for reasons we know not, but Marilyn Manson (for example) will forever be seen as a vile monster even though Evan Rachel Wood and Illma Gore are very clearly insane and creating this situation out of thin air
(Little about me to go with my divisive comment; I'm a victim of childhood SA, I believed ERW for a full year on principle before looking into the evidence, at which time it became inescapably obvious that she's a psychopath who's doing the absolute most with absolutely nothing based on reality behind it)
Well, I've tried it since this comment, and I'm using it occasionally (primarily because I like the Delfin app for Arch Linux), but there's a lot of reasons I still prefer Plex. First and most importantly, I use PlexAMP as my primary music player and I have 1tb+ of music that I don't feel like perfectly setting up again. It's a huge amount of work, and I listen to a lot of lesser known shit that just isn't easy to gather data for, and a lot of Various Artist shit that I'm really particular about how it shows up.
The other big issue I have is that Collections is a separate tab in Movies, rather than being listed alongside the rest of my library like in Plex, and that's really just not useful for me. It automatically populated my collections just fine, but if my primary Movies tab is just gonna list each individual movie and I have to actually go to the Collections tab to see collections, it's just not how I like my library. If I can find a solution for this it'll go a long way to pushing me toward JellyFin.
