This is where tech family and friends need to play a role. Host these services for them! My family just thinks Jellyfin and Navidrome is another Netflix or Spotify they have access to. And most of them prefer Jellyfin as content doesn’t dis

I really wish we had laws that producers of content cannot also be distributors. That just creates perverse incentives to use content to lock people into their distribution platform. If they had to be separate, that gives content producers

You have to have real options or people can’t make informed decisions. I have a background in city planning, and in the US, you’ll constantly hear about how trying to make cities more friendly to pedestrians, bicycles, or public transit is

They also often time have versions of old movies and shows that have been modified due to silly things like license agreements on music expiring! I have felt gaslighted when I rewatch and old movie and some scene isn’t how I remember.

If they were willing to sell movies and tv shows WITHOUT DRM, I’d happily buy what I want and put on my Jellyfin server. I don’t pirate music because I can buy what I want on Bandcamp (and even mainstream music on apple and Amazon without d

Terrible window management is a huge reason I will not use Mac OS or Windows. I immediately lose so much productivity. I am coming up on my 30th year of using Linux, and I can't imagine moving to an OS with such limited window capabili

I mostly agree, and I personally just use containers (and heavily!) However, that has not been the case for my spouse. Profiles are important to her in two scenarios: 1. The primary website she uses for grad school (canvas) REQUIRES third p

I had a usb dock that surged, destroying the dock and my touchpad. A $25 replacement from framework, and under 5 minutes to swap things out, and I was good as new!

I think it depends on if you lean more towards fantasy or sci-fi. Star Wars is space fantasy. Star Trek is science fiction. I’m not saying one is better than the other, but they appeal to different personalities. I personally struggle to ge

I think for exploring new music last.fm or listenbrainz are still good options. Listenbrainz has some cool tools like troi to come up with weekly lists. They work on popularity and neighbors, so if you listen to a lot of underground music t

I buy a lot of music on Bandcamp and often a label will have their whole catalog on sale, so I’ll just buy that. But I haven’t been good exploring the new 50+ albums I just bought, so this is helping. I also finally took my wife’s collectio

The search part of Google doesn’t bother me. I have other options and I now reach for an llm first, then fall back to ddg. What I do think needs to be separated are: 1) Ads and analytics 2) Chrome 3) Google Play Services. Googles ad platfo

This is a major issue for me for both video and music streaming platforms. Do you know what version of the Abyss you are going to get? Is it that theatrical version that cut out a major plot point or the director's cut that includes it
