i feel like the odd one out whenever i tell people i dont want the shitty ide launcher for jetbrains products on my computer. i havent used their products because of that launcher.

kodi is really good for local media, but none of my media is local. instead of using the smartTV-style jellyfin UI, jellyfin indexes the media from the server and throws up a text-only list of media in a folder structure. if i rip another movie, it needs to be indexed.

though it is pulling the index and functioning as expected, it makes the experience feel like browsing in dolphin for spreadsheets instead of getting ready for movie night.

the experience was bad enough where i just plugged the old streaming stick back in and hid my failur. i didnt tell the wife about my experience (she hates the streaming stick and wanted an OSS option). i said i would deliver one, so she thinks i just haven’t done it yet. :(

the creation of a non-kodi htpc/media center alternative that works like a smart TV OS and works on a raspberry pi would get me to change my streaming device.

i stream jellyfin from a home server, and jellyfin on kodi is painful to use :(

an OS that can be controlled with tv-controller buttons and has an interface similar to any of the other players in this space would make me throw away my nvidia shield tv in a heartbeat

a low level language that has really nice features when compared to c and c++, but honestly i find it difficult to read. probably my lack of experience with it, tho.

i became friends with someone who worked there. even after they quit, i still have the same plan.

unlimited everything, 3 lines, free netflix, free HBO max, $90

employees get like 5 of those plans to give out to friends and family. its worth

as a milennial who was very much alive and in school in 1995 (~5th grade for me), you may need to reimagine what a boomer is. my parents are boomers, lol.

improvements over the competition are black and white… and a little yellow.

my parents are too religious for me to have children. i will not bring a child into this world while religion is forced on anyone. i will not be having children (married; 40 years old)

i’m not sure if its my bias towards linux that thinks it should be added or the bias against linux that has it not added, but showing the % of games that are playable on linux and windows without showing linux and windows native games seems like an incomplete dataset

if you are ever trying to find tips on how to strangle someone to death, take notes from this GPU setup.

because we all use linux and can hopefully make fun if ourselves…

this part of it is really frustrating for me.

step 1. purchase game that looks cool
step 2. disagree with TOS
step 3. too bad, get fucked
