Well now there’s oled so burn in is very much a thing and screensavers are back on TVs at least, except they suck now.

And I would definitely call modern computers stupid but it’s not the computers fault, tbf. A computer is just a thing. It’s the fault of greed mainly. Computers are stupid because they don’t have charming features like screensavers anymore. That’s too expensive. Usability, repairability, user control, etc is sacrificed consistently to shove in advertising and opportunities for upselling. Whenever this isn’t the case it’s almost always a temporary moment before venture capital purchases the company that makes the hardware/software and then they will 100% do that

I don’t know why people think ice using this is strange because many local police departments in the USA have been using this thing for decades for anyone even slightly unruly. It’s supposed to be a last resort mechanical restraint if someone is a true danger but if you watch those youtube bodycam videos you’ll regularly see them throw this out as a threat and use it retributively when someone pisses them off. Of course ice would also use it and would likely use it in even worse ways

Sleep disorder, catch up on work, shitpost, read manga. I try to do productive stuff too like exercise, language study, making stuff, etc but I do have to be contentious of noise as I live with people. Some things are easier than others. Language study is nice because 5am est is 6pm the next day jst so my Japanese language exchange friends are just getting home from work when I’m getting to the end of the night

Thankfully I’ve gotten to the point in life where I can work like 11-7 or 12-8 fairly easily. Brutal for social interaction at my age is the trade off but can’t win them all I guess

I do. It was great.

Many years later Uniqlo released the uniqlock. It was a clock screensaver that had “seasons” which were advertisements for their seasonal clothing releases but it wasn’t really obvious? It was that era where advertising was stupid and weird and “subversive” but it meant we got a cool screensaver that was updated for like 6 years with new content for free. Normally I despise advertising but this was the kind that was up front about it: it was like here’s a thing, check it out, it’s free, no data collection. Simpler times.

Unfortunately it was made in flash and died many years ago when flash was kill. That hasn’t stopped people who were also fans of it from recreating it although unfortunately said site doesn’t work great on mobile and is a website, not a screensaver, but still nice to be able to see it again

The dvd screensaver was just another screensaver at the time. There used to be cool things. Like install windows 95 or 98 and there’s default screensavers that were basically just programmers showing off - the pipes constantly growing into each other, a starfield, a generative maze that you just wander through, etc. then there was a whole thing for people to make screensavers (Uniqlo made one of the coolest ones).

Now computers are stupid and monitors just turn off. To be fair this is probably better for the environment

Ytlite now, uyou stopped updating awhile ago. There’s also a fork of ytlite (I think ytlite+?) that has some plugins rolled in by default, though you can just roll them in yourself when you build the app. The plus version may be better if you get them prebuilt from an appstore (sketch, imo) instead of sideloading an app you build yourself

I think she sees the writing on the wall and is gunning to be the leader of whatever populist conservative movement arises post trumpism

I don’t know shit about Cantonese and the only mandarin I know is the most basic of phrases and stuff to refer to food (so essentially nothing) so I can’t speak to that

Japanese is hard, but so is any language. You get out what you put in. I wasted about a year with “studying” half assed for like 10-15 minutes a day with duolingo. It was good that I had a consistent routine but at the end of 1 year I had very little to show for my effort. Learn from my mistake.

After that I switched things up. I didn’t put in a ton more time but I changed approach. Pretty standard but boring stuff: Anki, Assimil, and some other more targeted apps later on (renshuu, Benkyō, and most recently kanji dojo have been helpful). Setting up language exchange calls via apps like hello talk and discord have been far more helpful as things have progressed. This is more of a significant time investment and requires me to teach English a bit but I am happy to do it for free Japanese instruction. Joining group chats on line, watching YouTubers and vtubers, anime and dramas, etc also is helpful but the hard part was determining when to make the jump to not use subtitles and finding content that was digestible at my level. I’m not the kind of weeb that watches precure and little kid shows but for a minute I did just to watch stuff without subs. It sucked.

After about 5 years I got decent enough to have solid conversations via phone and text. Then DeepL came out and made it all pointless haha

“Anything else anywhere else”

Clarify - do you mean remote access? Are you using your phone for local access (eg localhost:8096 or 192.168.0.1:8096 or some kind of mDNS like arch.local:8096)? None of that will work outside of your home without additional configuration nor should you just openly expose it to the greater internet without doing much more research. Short version though - easy mode: tailscale or wireguard, harder version headscale but can be fully self hosted.

If this isn’t a remote access issue and it’s just some devices aren’t working locally (eg your phone and browser can connect but tv can’t) I would bet it’s a networking issue with firewall/router. What do logs say? This is one that can be trickier because logs on jellyfin side won’t necessarily have any useful info (they might if client is trying and failing to connect, worth a look) and logs on the other side might be a nightmare or even impossible to access (eg a smart tv and you don’t have a developer account for apple/android/webos)

gosendgo is the one that people use when they get fired for saying slurs

Also means that a robust community of people creating businesses to sell variations of the hardware for those who aren’t as maker friendly cannot emerge, correct?

Bc imo that’s what really got early 3d printing off the ground. Like back in 2010 during the reprap days there were all the independent maker storefronts plus a few bigger ones like lulzbot and makerbot (that eventually all got put out of business or bought for toxic modern shit like bambulab because in the modern day under capitalism every single industry has to consolidate until it’s under a few large extremely consumer hostile companies with okay products that just eventually get worse and worse bc there’s no competition or regulation for them but I digress).

Without this industry or a proper open source platform I don’t see how this will succeed

That debate with Hiroyuki was pretty wild. Like the shitposting troll vlogger and literal owner of 4chan running a debate between PM candidates of a world power.

Like can you imagine asmongold running the 2028 presidential debates and feeding the candidates questions from the twitch chat

It’s an inherent byproduct of capitalism.

If you rise to Tim Cook’s level you must be someone that is either willing to put your personal values aside or you do not have them to begin with. The growth of the company matters more and if you prioritize your values you will be filtered the moment you misalign with whatever prevents maximal growth.

Capitalism does not care about values, ethics, morals, social wellness, or anything besides growth. It is cancerous and leads to a toxic society that poisons itself and falls apart, which is literally happening

If you’re really only interested in in like forensic files and shit yeah this is probably the way to go. If you want sports you’ll have to pony up the $20-40/yr or whatever for somewhat okay plan

Until users turn them back on

AFAIK there’s no setting to outright disable subs. Maybe there is one somewhere, or you could strip them from media, but that’s terrible because subs in is always the correct choice. What can help is running the extract subtitles plugin though that won’t help for format.

None of them are shit (well Dubai is).

Last time I was in Costa Rica I enjoyed myself quite a lot actually.

Here is a picture of quepos

Get an iptv subscription and just watch cable. As a bonus you can watch tv in Costa Rica and Dubai and China and shit

Subtitles force transcoding a lot of the time depending on playback situation and media. A lot of compatibility issues there - downloaded movies often will have the PGS subs from a bluray, anime can often have ass/ssa, ibx subs, etc plus they all tend to be embedded in the media (and in anime’s case often with extra fonts and attachments).

all of these (basically anything but external srt) can interrupt direct playback depending on users Jellyfin client. Some have better sub support than others, android vs apple vs some esoteric client like webos all have their own niche weirdness. You need to search what the best option is for each users scenario. Like for my users that have apple devices checking this box in settings>playback allows direct streaming of a lot of content:

But for “the problem show” what do logs say? How is it encoded? Quick sync can’t transcode everything. The older your processor the less it can do and niche formats it definitely can’t do at all. Like unless you have a real new cpu (13th or 14th gen) it’s not doing av1 or vp9 content and that’s still getting offloaded to cpu for transcoding. And if it’s some ogg vorbis thing or whatever it won’t work. And do logs verify igpu is being utilized for transcoding/mapped correctly? It can be a bit of a pain in the ass (unless they improved the process, it’s been a while since I’ve had to do it)
