Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.

You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.

You misspelled Ubuntu.

Honestly I thought memes had kinda run their course, i didn’t know there were new ones even, lol.

Hey if it’s fun, that’s great. Kinda was looking for an idea for an app. This might be an interesting one. What features would make a great one?

People save memes? Today I learned…

You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil’s were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.

I’ll give it another try if AMD gets it together with their driver support.

As an AMD GPU linux user this is confusing. There is no driver needed. There is nothing to do with AMD. Must be the laptop? A unusual variant, or early adopter?

Way ahead of you. I would never buy an Xbox. Or anything microsoft for that matter. It’s just been better this way.

I can’t say I really hate this. If a company is willing to maintain this so there is always free water alongside a purchase option, it doesnt seem so bad.

Because frankly a portion of my world looks like this right now: The corporations squeeze to get everything out of me, and a good portion of the populous want to make sure I can’t have nice things by fucking everything up. A public fountain? Oh yeah that shit will get destroyed or stolen within a week.

Thank goodness. I hate most current UI.

It’s funny that one thing I really liked about it was the floating windows and toolbar. Then everyone complained and they brought it all together. But now people I work with using software that we pay nearly a million dollars to license are getting all excited becuase they introduced… floating windows.

So in a discussion about a boringdystopia, I am told to get off my high horse.

Yep. So here we are.

This is why it’s fucked up. Like my other comment, it’s shitty food. People shouldn’t have to resort to it. But instead it spreads like cancer. And people then downvote me for saying it.

We are fucked.

Lets face the reality: Most people just don’t care. They are not going to feel bad or good, they just know that they did something they consider fast and cheap. Very few people are going to feel bad.

I would, mostly because I have an idea what goes into their food, and I know you are getting what you pay for: there are better options.

But I also have an idea of what the effect of a global race to the bottom from a company like Yum! Brands results in. They own 58,000 restaurants, a training company, a marketing insights company, and a delivery company. Supporting a global conglomerate to supply “cheap” non healthy addictive food should make anyone take pause. They also drive out other options, and feed into the system where we do not have time or energy to make our own food. Fast food at this scale is a pretty nasty with consequences beyond the price at the till.

I think your comment is pretty ignorant and/or disrespectful.

I think your is. You made a lot of assumptions in this comment.

I will not back down from this. I have done better with less money; Taco Bell is not a great option. The person commenting didn’t say they were in a food desert, or their only option. If I absolutely had to, I would, but I could not feel good about it.

Yikes. I couldn’t imagine feeling alright with feeding a family Taco Bell.

2 AM drunk and “i just dont give a shit anymore” is where Taco Bell food resides.

The real dystopia is that people are talking about fast food at all. It’s garbage food. Realisticly it’s always been the worst and often most expensive choice.

At that point you might as well go with a steamdeck. Works with or without the mouse/keyboard/screen and can play games. The desktop environment is full kde and ready to go.

I am not a fan of emojis in online conversation, but this time it does change how I perceived what you wrote. You are not happy about this? I would be so pleased if my country got rid of the penny.

Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:

Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.

Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.

By the way, several of the “features” you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.

I run both concurrently. I have a plex pass from way back when, maybe a decade or more.

What plex is now is not what it once was. Trying to socialize viewing habits, opting in by default to analysis, ads, reviews, and sharing that info has gone too far. Plex also works on these features such as discovery which benefits them, instead of open bugs.

That us why I can’t recommend it.

As for a feature comparison. Jellyfin is snappier, and faster. Plex is more detailed in their interface, and has better Metadata. Jellyfin sometimes doesn’t restart where I left off. Jellyfin is much, much better on mobile devices, but has less clients for tv’s. Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any server but my own, where plex wants to authenticate with thier own servers and ask for accounts (and money) to have full functionality. Jellyfin always downloads to a client. Plex…might. Plex has better handling of multiple streams in one file.

Because they are doing things in their best interest and not the end user.

As so many like to say here the enshitification is happening.

If you want to self host, plex isn’t it.

This is bizarre. My friends wouldn’t want random interruptions throughout the day and neither do I.

Follow? I don’t follow anyone, that seems so shallow …

Edit: but to be fair, we all like different things. Foss is about scratching you own itch, so if you feel you want an app like this (seems easy enough to do) you can always make it yourself.
