Great movie

humans can do FAR more complex work than robots can

Surely that’s very situational? Some cases have robots doing work that a human couldn’t possibly do whatsoever.

I would agree, but I wouldn’t say they are killing the project. 👍

Is “kill” a strong word here? They are heavily restricting it, and it’s reversible with some effort, know-how, and compromise, right?

But killing it, I feel like they are not. Even though I strongly oppose what they are doing, don’t get me wrong!

Your first sentence is 100% incorrect assumption. :P

I have used Plex for over a decade, and I’m now fulltime on Jellyfin.

Plex works trash on my TV (LG from 2019). Jellyfin with the exact same library just flies. The performance is just god awful while browsing your library.

• startup takes minutes
• moving between posters takes seconds
• searching is not debounced between key presses so searching takes ages
• Plex on my TV cannot seem to play different audio/language tracks correctly. I select my preferred language, I explicitly select language, I set it to default in the container, nothing. It just plays English no matter what. Trash.
• The developers don’t care about their users. These issues have been reported for a literal DECADE, and they responded years ago but have since ignored them. I reported it more recently, have been ignored for years now, despite keeping the thread alive from auto-closing.

Fuck Plex, they don’t care, I don’t care. Hail Jellyfin, it does all Plex could do and more, that I needed. Performance is great. It handles multiple language tracks.

The only thing Plex did better was duplicate merging. 👍 Not worth it though. Strictly unusable on my TV in general.

How can you be toxic without communication? What happened?

Like… it’s bad enough that they did a horrible job on COVID, then claim they did a great job. That’s very silly. But that aside:

What president says “but we never got credit for it”, as if that’s the main issue. Why is it so important to the president that he get so much credit and recognition for his actions? (Again, ignoring the fact that you obviously don’t get credit for doing a shitty job.)

Donald has never been shown love by an adult role model, I think. Is this narcissism a product of overcompensation? Of self-correction? Of “rectifying” decades of emotional neglect? Of exaggerated self-love, except he doesn’t really know what love is supposed to look like, and when it still doesn’t come from others in his life, he’s like “but why doesn’t it come? Why am I still not loved? I am president now. Give me love! Give me credit! [Has to give self credit.] Why am I not adored? Adore me! [Has to give self adoration/parades.]”

And people mock him and give him shit (rightfully).

I don’t know… Just a thought that crossed my mind.

But fuck him and his insider-trading ass. He only cares about himself.

• I only see stuff I like on YouTube shorts these days, so honing the algorithm has worked for me, so that’s incorrect. I’ve done it.
• It doesn’t “care” what I like, but I’ve told it what I like and it gives me stuff I like. Mission accomplished.
• You don’t get ads on YouTube shorts. Not on your TV, not in the app. At least I don’t. 🤷‍♂️

To be honest I would not be surprised of any political views Torvalds would have. 😅

I like shorts. I say this again and again: Curate your shorts by liking and subscribing. Press “don’t recommend this channel” for shit you don’t want to see.

Hone your algorithm. 👍

I don’t think there’s a language barrier here. I’m fluent in English, and I know what a shim is, both IRL and in the software world. I’ve just not run into it in a boot loader context before. And I’m not really knowledgeable when it comes to secure boot, either. Just trying to understand. 🙂

Are you sure that’s a good phrasing though, “that breaks into your UEFI”?

A shim is usually something that you use to add or modify functionality by interception, right? Like a middle-ware, almost. So these old shims, are they responsible for functionality that directly has to do with Secure Boot, or something else?

If so, they are broken — i.e. not fulfilling their purpose.

If something else, they are not broken. They are just breaking something else, or making it vulnerable.

Am I making sense? Does it not make sense? Because after all, I don’t know much about the details of the subject matter. 😁

Alright, good enough.

I guess? I dunno. I’m not very good at boot systems.

Yes.

Is UEFI shim = secure boot?

“Being secure” doesn’t seem to be the primary function of a “UEFI shim”, so no? 🤷‍♂️

IMO, broken ≠ vulnerable. Broken to me means it doesn’t work. There’s a difference, to me. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, right. I thought YouTube did something, but… yes, the sadness that is Google.

What, why?

Well, regardless of browser support, I would be interested in testing the compression performance of animated JPEG XL versus animated WebP. Would be a good showdown.

Thanks for calling me young. I appreesh.
