I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well....
Honestly I hated Calibre. The worst part was how it just couldn’t render some books properly, and there was no way to zoom many of them, even via CSS. Readability is #1 priority, but Calibre was absolutely broken for a lot of that.
I ended up using software that could made thumbnails from PDF, CBR, CBZ, and ePUB, then I used Sumatra for all of it.
I think PotPlayer is a lot better than VLC— although it’s a little weird out-of-the-box, so you have to change a few of its many, many customizable settings.
China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
Don’t take the chart seriously. Pretty much all of these setups are good for their uses and are done by someobdy, even certain forms of “chaotic evil”.
Why would that be a troll? Even if their opinion is wrong, it’s still an opinion. Being wrong doesn’t make one a troll. I am pretty sick to death of people calling everything “trolling”.
The same week his state outlawed racial discrimination based on hairstyles, a Black high school student in Texas was suspended because school officials said his locs violated the district’s dress code....
Maybe. But since I store all my work on my NAS and none of it on my PC and laptop anymore, I prefer the speeds of SSD and the automatic backup from storage SSD to second SSD that I do. My desktop and laptop SSDs are only used for the OS, software, and installed games now.
I could not even imagine saying something as stupid as this. “You didn’t truly understand it because you skimmed the last 4 of the 20 hours, therefore your dislike is invalid” is truly a smooth-brain take. I wonder what other stupid shit you spend your life saying.
A lot of music— especially metal— is known for having lyrics that sound cool and evoke a specific feeling but that don’t actually have any coherence. Creek Mary’s Tears tells a specific message; but for the most part Nightwish’s lyrics don’t....
Good point, but the Beatles specifically said in interview that they wrote “I Am the Walrus” to make no sense at all, in a mocking response to classrooms being asked to interpret The Beatles’ lyrics. It means nothing, just like most of Nightwish.
Not nearly as much as you seem to think. “Anything can be anything” is a common line by people who don’t know anything. “Autism is an infinite spectrum. Everyone’s a little bit autistic!” “Everything that looks similar in some ways to a game that’s been called an ‘RPG’ is an RPG!” Assumptions and infinite inclusions come more easily than actual knowledge and categorizations.
What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? (sh.itjust.works)

Google Play can go straight to hell.

You did it Mary! (lemmy.ml)
She also made $29,000,000 in 2022 for herself, cause she worked so hard and made so many cars herself. Ha
Finally finished* watching the movies. This series got eaten by a dementor, and I'm disappointed.
I didn’t read the books....
I love Nightwish, but I wish more of their lyrics made sense.
