Yeah, Epic is shitty, but compared to Google they’re good.

Yeah, Google became such a shitty company. Used to love them, now I’d like to see them fail.

apt install as the basics? It’s not even needed. Try LinuxMint, it’s way more simple and usable than Windows, no shell commands necessary

And now everybody think it’s normal. It wasn’t.

We would need politicians to be the victims. Then these fascist laws will suddenly be cancelled.

In Italy, there’s a debit card circuit called PagoBancomat.

Italy also has a digital-only payment system called Satispay. Denmark and Finland have MobilePay (which is way better than Satispay). Sweden has Swish.

Your country may have something similar, look it up. And then you can always pay with PayPal by connecting your bank account directly, with no cards involved (at least in Europe).

Amex is expensive as fuck for shop owners. I’d boycott them too.

But more fascists

Also, Immich warns to read the change log every time you update, because it’s still under very active development.

I like how Microsoft came up with an obscure extension for screensavers, which is just an .exe in disguise.

In Italy we have PagoBancomat, but that’s a debit card, not a credit card.

If you buy online, you can also use PayPal connected directly to a bank account, no credit card necessary (PayPal is also a shitty company, but sometimes there’s no alternative…)

I mean, a server is just a PC that’s on 24/7 :) you had a server all along!

…depending on your country. Some countries don’t give a flying fuck: in that case, don’t waste money on VPNs if you don’t need it.

I’ve been collecting over 10 TB of Linux ISOs this year.

Yes, you need people. But I’d say Reddit has too many people. The Ethernal September problem: sometimes, small is better.

…and you say that as if it’s a bad thing :)

I know, for some features Plex is better, and for a very few features Plex will always be better because it’s centralized. Jellyfin, being self-hosted, doesn’t have an easy way to share and combine libraries from multiple users, and no single “login” page like Plex. This may be annoying for users, but we know all the problems that centralization comes with.

But this makes me think about the fediverse. What if Jellyfin servers could federate with each other? I wonder if anybody is working on such a project.

Edit: okay, apparently I found this feature request on the Jellyfin features tracker.

Pro-tip: Plex is slowly enshittifying, a good open source alternative is Jellyfin.

Congratulations, and welcome to the Linux world. You won’t regret it. But also don’t get scared if something doesn’t work right away!

Good job! And welcome :)
