it was his idea, his vision. I blame him post mortem, because steve would've wanted the ecosystem to work flawlessly, and regardless of whether or not he was here today, we would have the same problem.

i mean sure, but do i WANT to use it for that? No, i just want to fucking pay for my shit and leave. I don't want your stupid little QR codes, i don't want your silly little NFC, just accept card or fuck off.

Just because you can invent some schizophrenic use for a smartphone, doesn't mean i have a use for it.

Bad example.

what are you going to do setup android emulation so you can install the tesla app (which might not work in emulation because that's sus, but maybe they dont have good security anyway lmao) sure, you can set it up once, but like, what do you do if your credit card is cancelled, or the app suddenly stops accepting purchases because "you haven't been online in a week" and it's for "security purposes" or some other stupid shit like that. This is the entire reason card based payment exists lmao. Why are we just reinventing it.

i guess theoretically if it's a webapp you could do it on the browser, but then like, how is it going to link information back to you personally? Unless you own a tesla, where you basically just save your payment info on the car directly at that point. Maybe they will invent credit card 2 electric boogaloo. Are they going to start installing NFC/RFID into charging ports for payment link info? Seems silly to me.

If you own a non tesla, this is as you mentioned, a huge issue, considering that NACS is the charging standard for all of north america now.

anti vaxxing is a thing that real people really engage in, they are in fact, stupid. But it is unfortunately real, just look into the resurgence in measles outbreaks and TB and shit, that's why.

ur friend very well may be joking, but i can assure it's not a complete meme.

SO TRUE

btw intel QSV on iGPUs is actually crazy, you can put a little intel cpu from like 12th gen and it'll decode and encode most content for you perfectly fine, unless you're extremely picky about tone mapping and color space (idk in that case, i don't have super strenuous content requirements lol)

the arc cards are even better, but not needing an entire GPU for decoding/encoding is SO nice for smaller homelabs.

both, probably.

jellyfin is quite literally seamless in this regard, the only thing that wont work is metadata scraping (which if like me you run a yt archive, can be relatively frequent, but often isn't even a huge problem) I only notice network outages when other shit breaks lmao.

Hardware acceleration still kind of sucks. You can get it to work, but the Jellyfin port of ffmpeg doesn’t work anywhere near as well as Plex’s.

pretty much just works for me on intel QSV. as long as you have drivers and hardware support it seems perfectly fine. Maybe plex has a cleaner implementation? Not sure, never used it.

Public network support is finicky. This is hard to quantify, but I’ve been on several remote networks where my Jellyfin connection dropped in and out and Plex did not. I suspect this is due to the Plex Relay service making up for bad routes between my house and the network.

depending on your network configuration, and routing of the network, this is most likely to be plex relays, this wouldn't be a jellyfin issue, it would be a plex feature. You could easily fix this with a relay VPN server or something like that. (you probably shouldn't publicly expose services these days anyway.)

i only wish jellyfin would add chapter titles and hover cards (maybe thats in the new thumbs now? I haven't yet migrated because lazy lmao)

and that they fix the weird UI shenanigans from it's emby days. Some QOL shit would be nice, auto sorting so that its not manually default to the stupidest setting ever. and the other usual shit.

I'm still having issues with my client freezing on playback of high bitrate video (like heavy 4K content) but transcoding down fixes that, im not sure what causes that, something gets caught up i guess, a refresh fixes it though.

there's finamp. and i think jellyfin is just running a sonic server? Not sure, but that's basically what it is under the hood, so.

BRB pulling up to a QR code scanner with my 15 inch thinkpad w520 running on 92whr of battery consuming literal watts of power because it's from 2012.

Hopefully i'm not an inconvenience.

I’d never do it, but we have one at work and he’s singlehandedly causing so much grief at work.

tell him the funny internet man that replied to you told him that he was based and that we collectively appreciate his efforts of basedness.

Society must revert their mentality and not expect constant immediate access to everything. Absolutely nothing happens on the internet for personal activity that can’t wait a few hours or the next day.

yeah ok so, counterpoint, you pull up to an EV charging station (it's tesla because of course it's tesla) please show me where the card reader is. I'll wait.

oh but what about the non tesla charging stations you might say. those are still iffy right now, i'm hopeful they'll improve in the future, but a lot of them have readers (that may or may not work) and a phone app (that may or may not work) also whose to say they don't just fucking disappear.

THIS IS ACTUALLY SO REAL FUCKING SMARTPHONES I HATE STEVE JOBS FUCK YOU WHY DID YOU RUIN TECHNOLOGY.

ok rant over, but seriously though, it's so fucked how you basically just need a smartphone to do ANYTHING these days. I don't want a phone, i have no use for one.

i may not fully agree with some of the principles and political views of the people here, but i agree with the general mission statement very strongly, and am always open to novel and new forms of governance, especially those actually being put into practice.

i also rather enjoy niche and out of the way communities over more generally accepted ones, the userbase is substantially more interesting 90% of the time.

you would only be able to significantly sabotage anything if you managed to 3x the userbase entirely which would be very easy to subvert as "pseudo instance dictator"

of course i guess you could long con, or probably do some sort of trolling, but that's an extremely involved process and doesn't pass the dictator button either, which would always be present.

he literally did, definitionally he launched a failed coup. At the very least an attempted insurrection.

He did the same thing Hillary did in the election before that.

complete disinformation, hillary contested the results, which is a thing you are legally entitled to doing (she later retracted that statement publicly) trump has NEVER once retracted his statement, he STILL says it was stolen.

dont let the defenestration allegations hit you on the way out

well then you better hope DJT goes first i guess, because that statement does not meet the logical extent of that circumstance.
