I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)
I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.
That and subtitle syncing.
I was already a long time KISS launcher user after the sale (long time nova user)
Recently discovered Kvaesitso and I have fully switched! It is just a bit more featureful than KISS while still being very clean and now when people use my phone for something, they can actually find apps too which is nice.
It depends. I think what seperates art with non-art is creation and a sort of drive for impacting others positively and create something you are proud of.
Carpentry is absolutely art.
Stonework was traditionally art.
Metalwork and glasswork is an art.
Mechanical systems are also an art.
Good electronics design is an art.
Making actually good, useful software that people find great and user-friendly while being featureful is an art
Hell, electricians and plumbers who are passionate about their work (and not exploited) can leave behind absolute works of art that nobody will ever see.
Motivation, skill, and goals separate art from being slop work.
There is a ton of traditional “art” that is just profit-driven slop that isn’t art: see the entire art-to-money-laundering industry, Spotify AI music and a lot of generated non-composed shit, industrialized sculptures and decorations meant to be so generic they fit in every person’s house.
And I still can only get 0 like, 0 comment shaky cam video of a screen capture of ultra zoomed in tiktoks or blasting shitty electronika music at 100dB clipping all to hell with 2005 era Microsoft visualizer videos.
Just like pixelfed, there is no way to discover anyone except the same 10-12 rotation of people they put in explore.
I come back every month or two and swipe through 5-10 to see if anything has changed, but it never has. In the case of loops, the same number of creators, some of which haven’t posted a video for almost 8 months are “trending”? Maybe that is where the “active users” number comes from?
Everyone will claim it is the hardware, but we can see from cheap phones that a majority of people actually get outside of the US that it doesn’t matter as much.
It was never a complete phone after 5 years. It never had the software to actually use it as a daily driver. Calling still “doesn’t work all the time” according to users and similar with texting. If your phone literally can’t be trusted to make a simple call and receive a text out of the box, then it won’t be bought to be used as a normal phone. That’s as simple as it gets.
It has just been relegated to being a fun side experimental phone for enthusiasts, but you can’t have a company-carrying product like that because the consumer base is too small to fund the software development.
They also specifically say
While in the future the PinePhone Pro will be able to serve as your daily-driver smartphone, at present the PinePhone Pro should be considered a development platform.
On the store, which further discourages consumers.
Building a smartphone OS and all the features needed is an extremely expensive task, so it is completely understandable that it has gone at a snails pace.
Wait, cage the elephant is considered indie and obscure? They were the intro to borderlands lol, that’s where I heard of them
Defense contracting.
They do a a good amount of of military industrial contracting and work for 3 letter agencies on data processing/ high performance computing.
They also got awarded government funding in 2024 to build logic chips for the military in-country.
Not enough to sustain the company, but such “sensitive” programs may not be allowed to show up in revenue reports or have to be assigned to other areas or so.
Had a 2023 VW ID4. They literally go out of their way to make your experience worse in many cases.
They have an app, they can read locked state, but can’t lock the car.
Their app/website makes you completely re-sign in and re-accept cookies every month or so that breaks any API usage mildly like HomeAssistant.
The key unlocks the door if you walk to it, 50% chance to re-lock the door when you walk away without interacting with it.
Can detect tire pressure, but they don’t tell you what it is, only if there is “pressure loss”
Backup camera was horrific quality, especially the field of view of a telephoto camera, especially compared to my 2015 Nissan altima
The entertainmrnt console was terible, extremely laggy, and Android auto was the worst experience. It would take between 2 and 15 minutes to connect to android auto with multiple different phones, and it would choose 1 app per phone to not display. My girlfriends’ was her maps app which is insane. Sometimes I would be at my destination before it would connect.
Also putting a trailer hitch on it would have been like 1500-2000€…
Well the entire multiplatform astroturfing campaign from people who call themselves leftists worked! Democrats stayed home instead of voting.
Now Palestine will be completely flattened with 0 resistance at all, and redoubled support and bombs for Israel! Way to go! You really showed your support for Palestine by helping this happen!
They will probably come back saying “it wasn’t our fault, we just pointed out the truth” while they shouted that a vote for Harris was a vote for genocide [so don’t vote for harris] from every platform that they used.
Megabyte Punch is a side scrolling fighting game where you build your robot with different parts salvaged from fought robots that give you different abilities and powerups.
It is a super fast, casual game that you can bang out in a few nights. It has a pretty good electronic soundtrack, boss fights feel weighty even if they are relatively simple.
One of my favorite games as far as just fun and de-stressing!
I have had accubattery for my phone’s duration and Sony have the feature that you can force stop charging at 80%. In the past 3.5 years with the phone, I have charged 1 814 046 mAh in that time. Assuming avg 3.8V (not hitting too much or CV with 80%) and my local price of 0.32€/kWh, that is only 2.14€ over 3.5 years.
Phones are absolutely crazy efficient.
