  • Same, the best one was the dude who created an account with my email but his own phone number. So I text him to try and scare him with the fact that some random dude got hold of his private info. He was unfazed and replied "my nephew set it up for me, guess we've got the same email address"...

  • Yes, but everything above it (including drivers) is custom-made and tightly controlled by Google.

  • My tech-illiterate mom uses my Jellyfin instance with no issues. I sent her a link to the app store, her credentials, my server's hostname and that was it. And once it's set up, Jellyfin is much more straightforward to use than Plex.

    Sure Jellyfin has issues and doesn't support as many types of devices, but Plex is far from perfect. I use it like twice a year, and the UI gets more and more confusing with each update IMO.

  • Yeah, if they're not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.

  • Yeah but if the script which initiates the connection to the local server is blocked there's no connection to intercept in the first place.

  • Nah, the script connects to a server run by the Instagram or Facebook app and feeds it info, bypassing isolation mechanisms entirely. I think ublock or other script-blocking add-ons might work though.

  • They're at the "right to do whatever the fuck we want" stage.

  • Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn't give any fuck about kids.

  • Got it today too. I clicked on "fuck you" or something like that, and I went on to watch my ad-free video.

  • I agree, but as a mobile dev I wish they'd leave the OS alone instead of "optimizing" it, creating new exceptions to the rule and edge cases in the process...

  • Yeah, with Arch the install and initial setup is the hard part, but they do that for you so I don't get the point of going with Manjaro.

  • Yeah, if you only do touristy stuff you're gonna have a bad time. It's like saying NYC sucks when you've only visited Time Square.

  • Plex sucks but jellyseer, the arr stack and jellyfin are all open source and entirely free. Together they provide an experience almost as straightforward as any commercial streaming platform: find a media on jellyseerr and request it with a single click. A few minutes later the media is available in Jellyfin, and you can watch it on your computer, smartphone, smart TV, ...

    with Usenet and a good internet connection
