Damn, Linus really went out of his way to say:

How about you accept the fact that maybe the problem is you. You think you know better. But the current process works. It has problems, but problems are a fact of life. There is no perfect. However, I will say that the social media brigading just makes me not want to have anything at all to do with your approach. Because if we have issues in the kernel development model, then social media sure as hell isn't the solution. The same way it sure as hell wasn't the solution to politics. Technical patches and discussions matter. Social media brigading - no than\k you.

First of all, thank you for the reply. I always wondered if we could use our Steam Deck for pretty much everything since we have a dock plugged on our TV, but since we have been using the Nvidia Shield Pro as our media player for more than 5 years, I didn't get out of my way to inform myself.

The Shield Pro was amazing at the start, until the stock launcher started showing ads (we currently avoid them by using an app for Android TVs called Productivity Launcher).

You must ensure you’re using a client that can use the codec in question

Yeah, this is the reason we had to stop using Jellyfin client and switched to Kodi. I think the jellyfin didn't have support for pass through for the codec our movie was using and Kodi worked fine.

Is there a specific codec you’re concerned about losing access to?

Mainly Douby Atmos/Vision and such. We currently have our 4k TV connected with eARC to our Soundbar and the soundbar connected to the Shield. The only other thing we connected to the soundbar was our Nintendo Switch dock since I couldn't make surround work otherwise. PS5 surround works fine connected to the TV and I think SD does too (I will need to test it later because I am unsure and I can't remember).

Thinking about it now I think I do need to at least setup a way to play our stuff from Jellyfin on our SDs using Tailscale, this way we can access our stuff while traveling. At this moment we only access it away from home from our phones to listen to music.

Will you have access to all codecs as well though? This is the main reason we still keep our Nvidia Shield around from years ago

I don't know why but even if I am setting my own wallpapers I still get to see the stock ones (when booting, etc), it pisses me off because it is clearly AI made and it seems the community around eOS likes them and even make worst ones on their forum

If you don't mind AI slop wallpapers every time you upgrade your system. I can't wait to get rid of eOS on my desktop and just use regular Arch

Actual is great! We have been using for a while now.

I decided not to keep supporting Pixelfed after the weird coments dansup was making about people developing other clients and his apparent wish of putting ads on the platform. I was already getting people from my circle to create accounts on it, so it was very disappointing.

There's also another whole situation with the way he speaks but that isn't that much of an issue for me

• Expect people complaining about these types of posts

I used to follow/admire jwz but he can be so toxic/pedantic. Never really interacted with him because of how we would sometimes reply to people and block them. Hideki Kamiya vibes.

Don't take me wrong, he is in his right of blocking whoever he wants, but it would just make me feel bad how some interactions would go with him.

Have you both thought about talking why you disagree instead? If none of you bother to explain why you think the other is wrong this is just pointless

We tried the casting using Kodi and it works, it is just a bit cluny

This brings me memories from when I had my @hellokitty.com email.

Have you already tried adding an authenticator / passkeys, OP? Those are the only thing I can think of.

I pay monthly but I migrated everything to their platform and now I need to calm myself a little bit and think about which services I will migrate to

I lean left on some issues, and right on other issues

Holy shit I feel so STUPID for giving $30 a month for this clown. I am so pissed, I hate myself for allowing myself to migrate my stuff all over thinking it would be fine. I am so fucking pissed right now.

It seems Lucida channel was somehow affected

Thank you!

Oof, sorry! The link still works for me but next time I will probably keep the original link to the YT video too.

Clearly they can give them instructions to have specific opinions regarding certain things, so it makes sense for me at least to ask what it has to say if you would like to investigate

Here we have desktops set up next to each other but since we work remotely we don't want to spent our time on the office all day, so we play things on the couch/living room and the steam decks are used almost all the time. You can basically run the game on your desktop and play it remotely on the SD, on hand-held mode or docked plugged on the TV.

It is also the perfect companion for travel. We had a 5 hours flight in November which passed very quickly playing Balatro, lol.

Moved to Canada around 5 years ago and I am still surprised by how much imperial is still used here.
