I know on Android jellyfin in particular has a native app but also findroid, which is not world changing but good enough.

Just tried out Kodi on Android but I’m sorry, the app sucks. No native addon browsing, the keyboard is custom but incredibly small on my phone, navigation is weird, there’s no back button and my main buttons on the phone get hidden so I always have to manually show them again. The design is unappealing and for some reason it really wants access to my devices microphone.

Literally the worst one I’ve tried and I didn’t even get to the video player, which everyone says stops working every once in a while.

Exactly.

People always wanna classify AI as super smart or super dumb, similar to the human brain or randomly guessing words and doing an ok job. But that is very subjective and it’s sliding a little fader between two points that differ in definition slightly for every person.

If we actually wanted to approach the question of “how intelligent are AIs compared to humans” we would need to write a lot of word definitions first, and I’m sure the answer at the end will be just as helpful as a shoulder shrug and an unenthusiastic “about half as intelligent”. And that’s why these comparisons are stupid.

If AI is a good tool to us, great. If not, alright let’s skip and go straight to the next bigger discovery, and stop getting hung up on semantics.

Specifically in rescue swimmer training they will teach you to push the drowning person away if they grab onto you the wrong way, otherwise you will be drowning too. You basically need to force them into the right hold, because they are acting solely on survival reflexes and those entail grabbing something and pulling yourself up out of the water, which might sink whatever they are holding onto.

It might take a while, but when your PC is working on it you are not and searching for words might be easier ^^

I’m excited to hear how well it works ^^

Long videos or voice notes where you’re usually just looking for a small snippet.

Definitely Rocholas.

I don’t write essays often, but when I do it is because things are bothering me. Specifically, these memes are plenty and basically tell me someone like me doesn’t exist. When this collides with people who say things like “I honestly can’t imagine how you can use windows with all the crap” I get annoyed, and at this point I just wanted to make sure the people who write this know that there’s lots of people like me who have good reasons.

Turns out the world is multi-facetted.

I am one of those people.

I’m sorry but I can’t dedicate the time. Last time I tried to install it for someone else I went down a 5h rabbit hole of finding a driver for a scanner, and I was at the point where I had custom pkg repositories and needed to fix pkg dependency conflicts myself and I don’t have the OS knowledge to do all this, and I didn’t have time because I had to travel back again.

When I tried installing it for myself, I was missing critical software for a variety of things. For example, there’s no good DAW on Linux, and even if there was, lots of VST plugins are only Linux compatible. Things like Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects have no solid alternative to this day for Linux and hence I’m struggling to replace them. Blender is on Linux (obv) but for example render engines usually only come with software for windows.

And then there’s a bunch of things where I’m not sure how compatible they are even if they were to run on Linux. Office uses proprietary file format constraints to lock down their ecosystem. Sucks, but everyone uses it, so I’m stuck. Unreal Engine, lots games, my audio interface, drivers for obscure small devices I need? I just don’t know and I have to dedicate time to researching all of it.

I hope you can see why someone like me has a very hard time just switching over. Yes I can just pull the plug and do it, but I will get no work done for a solid 2 weeks and even after that I will be heavily constrained.

And this all on top of the fact that I regularly set up Linux VMs for specific things which break way too often on regular use. Which also does not spark joy.

I hope you can understand why I’m fine debloating windows with Chris Titus for half an hour and then just enjoying 4 years on it without worrying about all of that is easier.

And believe me, I bought a notebook and will try to go CachyOS x KDE Plasma on that, but it will be an experiment and I have lots of doubt that this can replace my setup.

To answer your question while ignoring your dishonesty, bias and ulterior motives:

I would be exactly the same level of annoyed. I have a distrust for any government especially when they play war or when they threaten others.

That said, some governments have proven to be more straightforward and predictable than others, and I definitely prefer those. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna fall in love with one soon, these things only lead to authorianism and I think we can agree between Hitler and Mussolini that’s not an aspiring state to live in.

I would love to have a nuanced conversation, because as someone from Europe, I do have a very nuanced view on all of this and I feel bad for the civilians who get caught in the crossfire of these conflicts, but unfortunately you are basically killing any platform where these nuanced conversations are possible when you’re trying to strengthen your position by using rhetorical questions.

There’s no winners in discussions, and they are only productive if everyone is there to speak, listen, and learn. And that way I can understand why the hell you are doing what you’re doing and maybe respect you a bit, while you understand the same about and stop trying to “catch” other people in something. Because that’s not what these communities are for and you are being an asshole.

There’s lots of other computer science topics I know very well (AIs being one of them funnily enough) but even I would zone out if you didn’t bring a little attendance present and a live demonstration when I need to listen to you explain it.

“Smart City” is a concept of a modern city, where a bunch of different things like pollution or traffic density can be put into data, collected and evaluated, so that we can have quick access to the status of a whole city.

Things to use this for: avoiding bad traffic, planning new city projects like bridges or even looking where you can save money on a city budget.

Currently there’s quite a few cities and projects who act as case studies but this is all preparation, we still need lots of science until we can make use of the full potential of this idea.

Well, licorice is definitely up there.

There’s some pralines that with some alcohol based filling that’s also really gross.

But I still remember I was a kid and my parents bought these cheese crackers. They were awful, the it was a bit crumbly but they had this really bad taste of something I can only describe as for fungus & cream cheese. I literally had to take a break and concentrate on not barfing even though we just wanted to play tabletop games. I know it’s not sweet but that stuff lives rent-free in my head to this day.

Guys wtf. You are all angry about something the court literally addresses in his ruling. Please always read the full rulings.

That is so stupid it makes me mad.

WotC and Hasbro are truly the Dalton’s of tabletop gaming.

The Csam caching is the worst issue.

So many countries basically regulate that if you have Csam on your PC you can go to jail. So if you’re hosting, and even if it gets deleted, that still means it was on the server. And that shit is bad.

Legally frightening.

I mean NGL they used to be pretty unbiased for quite a while which was very odd considering they have direct ties to Qatar. I can’t speak for their recent coverage though and there’s probably something to be said about them falling out of favor.

This does not address the issue of choosing the server though. This only works if the standard option for your server is reliable and rotated per registration.
