Thanks for your response! I’m a novice to most of this. Everything on my server is a physical disk that I have in my physical possession. I used MakeMKV to digitize all of it, and it takes up a ton of space. My current Plex server can transcode 10-12 users without any issues.
Well, Plex is a media server 1st and foremost. I’ve never heard of Infuse before, so I did a search and from what I read it is just an iOS media player that can pull from multiple servers (including Plex.) So, I use Plex to manage all of my media and they have native apps for pretty much everywhere including smart TV’s, Andriod, iPhone, Windows, Linux, Mac, gaming systems, and a web player. I am currently looking into FOSS alternatives, but for the past 10 years Plex has been the best for my needs.
What I have learned to say is “I understand this is new and confusing; however, don’t stress out, I was probably more confused than you are when I first learned this.” It throws them off a bit, because they think you’re the expert, and it clicks that you had to learn it too. If they probe deeper into why it was hard for me, I explain that I’m so used to how things are supposed to work, I have to step back and see how things can work.
I’d say they have been doing it longer or are familiar with the underlying knowledgebase, so it seems to come easily to them.
Someone who has never used a modern computer before will think that someone who has been learning and adapting since Windows 3.1 would look like a genius. Even if all they know is how to do basic tasks and navigation.
It is annoying, but I found that if you go back to your settings page, and toggle the setting to show read. Save, and the refresh, you will see your posts on your profile again. So again, it’s annoying, but just another quirk while building a new service.
I 1000% agree with you. I had flown Southwest for years, found a better deal with Spirit from Denver to Vegas over a decade ago, it was about about $90 less. Decided to give it a shot. After paying for seat selection, checked and carryon bags, iced water, and then being subjected to a live 30 min branded credit card presentation from the flight attendants, I wouldn’t fly with them if they paid me.
Edit: Forgot to mention after all their other charges, I ended up spending $175 more than I would have with Southwest.
I’m usually one who doesn’t buy into conspiracy theories; however, at this point I believe the Reddit protests actually (I hate this meme) broke the internet.
Reddit was the “idiot cousin that causes minimum annoyance occasionally, that hasn’t really hurt the advertising line much” for so long, that they all became dependent on the free, moderated, and literal fact checked by people it effects data for so long. That now, after the last weeks, of all the deleting, rewriting, restoring, rewriting, restoring, and rewriting again that all their cached data, and reddits “current” data is now worthless.
The super funny thing is, all the AI’s are still pulling data from reddit, they are going to have to cull and sanitize all data and every connection to it, and can also never trust it again… Because many many many people actually care about being part of a community, and will continue to modify/poison their previous comments to keep corps and their mindless “AI” from their “OWNED CONTENT.”
After missing all the memes at the other site in 12+ years, I was actually sorting by new when this one started!
That is an awesome write up; direct, clear, and not sensationalised! Thank you for taking the time to do that.
I consider the down vote the equivalent of rolling my eyes when listening to an idiot ramble on. However, I can see your point as well.
That was an excellent read, and exactly what I’ve been thinking regarding Meta joining.
Hopefully the get disbarred as well.
Not gonna lie, I’m a little buzzed right now so may be remembering things wrong. However, I think I remember that I had been buying computers from Lenovo for years before all this started, and I had to stop just before this acquisition happened due to serious privacy and security violations. I would normally serach the web for an answer, but at this point I would get an AI answer that says security isn’t important and I need to pledge my allegiance to the “god ai.”
I was a die hard Motorola fan for years, Verizon’s DROID line kept me away from the Apple ecosystem for quite a while. When Google bought them I thought they would become the iPhone of Android ecosystem. Once they sold the name for $10 billion less to Lenovo, I switched to LG for a couple of phones, finally gave into Samsung. I miss when the tech was improving from year to year, but now, I’m happy to keep a phone for 2 years, buy a new one and give my mom the last one and there isn’t much difference.
**Edit: When I upgrade, I get the flagship, so that normally gives the phone 4-5 years with Samsung with updates. ***
Welcome to the New Frontier!
I’m thinking of this as a grieving period. I was on Reddit via Sync for over 10 years multiple times a day. I’m angry, annoyed, and sick over the entire situation, and commiserating with other Reddit orphans is helping me transition to Lemmy. It will slowly die down over the next few months and we’ll find something else to direct our rage at. 😉
Wow, it was $29.95 a year. I canceled mine the other day and deleted my accounts today. Fuck Reddit.
Yet again was not arrested at the arraignment. No mugshot, or fingerprinting, and no bail, they sure are treating him unfairly. Can’t he just choke on a big mac already so we can be done with this cheeto?
