I had a hairdresser once that told me about her young daughter getting scratched by a raccoon. I asked if she took her to get the shots and she said “no, she’s fine”. We’re all doomed.

Even that case is highly contested as to what happened. It’s often debated that she might not have had rabies to begin with.

No no, I know what you’re implying, I was implying that the link doesn’t prove what you think it does. I’m assuming you fixated on the Munich project, and that is a convoluted story and the Wikipedia entry on that is not up to date. The latest on the Munich project is that they cancelled the switch back to Windows.

Edit: And I can only assume that you were referring to the Munich story because you threw up the link with zero quotations or direct references. If you have a specific interpretation of that Wikipedia article, then you need cite things. What exactly is the “cost of migration”? Is it one million dollars or 50 million? Did it take a weekend to do, or did it bog down entire departments for months at a time? Is that 50 million dollars over budget? How are the immediate costs vs long term savings measured? Because the savings are measured in decades, not single year or several year licensing costs.

I’m not going to do your job for you. You might think that a months or even years long transition progress is unacceptable, but someone like myself who works in IT would see that is within expectations. If you have a point to make, then MAKE IT.

What exactly are you trying to prove with that Wikipedia link? If anything it shows relatively wide adoption of Linux.

Seems like you understand the original meaning already.

annoying idiots saying “unused memory is wasted memory,”

The original intent of this saying was different, but ya it’s been co-opted into something else

I maintain open source projects too, and I fully understand the burnout, the pressure from supporters and such.

Then you should know better than most that your wording and approach matters.

For the love, as a Plex alternative, they don’t even have a native app on all major tv stores. It should be a P1 feature.

Are you really bitching this hard about a completely free and open source project?

It’s not technology or finances that kill most FOSS projects and burn out the devs. It’s this kind of shitty entitled unappreciative demanding attitude from users.

As others have pointed out, there are fully functional and good quality frontends available, such as Swiftfin.

Once Jellyfin can do that or something similar

Once Jellyfin does that then it’ll be time to look at jumping ship to something else, because that’ll be the indication that Jellyfin is going down the same road as Plex.

corruption

noun

• dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

What? Did I miss something?

LLMs can actually be a useful tool for populating out unit tests.

My experience with this is the LLM commenting out the existing logic and just returning true, or putting in a skeleton unit test with a comment that says “we’ll populate the code for this unit test later”.

A capitalist cannot be corrupt.

Alex, I’ll take stupid things said on the internet for 800.

Ah, ok. Well, Poe’s law

Lol, no. A good majority of the time the issue is something simple like a loose or broken ribbon cable that would cost $3 in parts and $50 in labour (if you’re being generous with the time).

This practice of the “Genus” bar people telling a customer that they need a whole board replacement that would cost $2000 and saying it’s cheaper to get a whole new computer is well documented.

And you can trade in your existing one for a couple hundred bucks off a new purchase

Enterprises outside of Europe can get another year of Windows 10 if they pay for it.

I went from an Ubuntu 16.04 install all the way to 20.04 and they involved multiple hardware upgrades and a completely new system at one point, just swapped out the root/home drive.

Since then I’ve been on EndeavourOS with pretty much the same story.

With Windows 7 and 10 I had to constantly reinstall.

Just think about what’s happening behind the scenes on Azure. I work with it daily and even it feels like a bloated slow mess.

It’s 3.2% of Steam Linux installs. The actual number is higher.
