At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus…

Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)

I was excited at first, because I thought I could still chat with friends who won’t leave Discord.

Thanks for the archive link.

Because the steps for Xitter were :

1. Want a Xitter
2. Go to Xitter
3. Create an account
4. Enjoy(?) Xitter

Even one extra step that adds friction can lead to you just not doing the thing.

Mega-corpos spend billions to reduce the number of steps to your wallet, because they make it back tenfold.

Update: 8 hours later, no change.

Update: Yep, still nothing.

I’ll check again after 24 hours to see if Lemmy does anything.

The Linux Experiment showed content, but Coffeezilla and Louis Rossman show empty for some reason.

I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn’t user friendly.

Maybe it wasn’t the user interface after all.

Tl;dr:

• PhotoPrism: Local AI with strong privacy but heavier setup.
• LibrePhotos: Same, but less polished, more community-built.
• Immich: Best self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
• Ente Photos: E2E encrypted, low-maintenance, most “plug and play”

although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone

That’s why they don’t care.

Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the waves, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

Yep. What’s considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you’re used to.

It’s why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.

I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn’t have that reputation.

I set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.

My users don’t want to fiddle.

So Plex has downgraded to [insert the word below feature parity] with Jellyfin.

I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)

If the key doesn’t unlock features, what does it unlock?

Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a “Supporter” tag next to your name on the app settings?

The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don’t change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it’s a valid question.

What does the $100 server key unlock (besides “supporter status”), since features aren’t paywalled?

suggest doctors

Which doctors??

It’s just not the same, even if they both have “ant” in the name.

SimAnt is a sim where you writhe in burning agony while the spider’s deadly venom flows through your body.

Microsoft Ants was a sweaty online PvP RTS for six year olds two years before StarCraft.

The games :

• Red Alert 2
• Half Life 2: Deathmatch
• Quake 3
• Unreal Tournament
• Quake 2
• Doom
• Transport Tycoon

No Microsoft Ants, though. :(

Whoever came up with the idea of sharing them as a gmail-clone is a genius.
