And I will tell you this: the operating system is 100% where you want to do age verification. Oh, what’s that you’re using? It’s Linux? Sure that’s fine, just make sure the age verification check works on it. Wait, what do you mean you have “root access”? Why do you keep repeating “it’s my hardware and I own it”? You removed the age check system? You can do that! Hey, he’s not supposed to be able to do that! Colorado proposes bill to ban open source operating systems As a parent, systems and web developer of both open source and proprietary software. This would single-handedly be one of the most damaging things to ever happen to the world of personal computing. From a technical point of view, having OS-level verification is the least worst, and in my technical opinion, the best option. It’s a horribly bad opinion. It’s the same old problem with client-side anti-chest. You can’t trust the hardware. If the user has full access to the computer, then they can do whatever they want with it. This is a core issue in security modelling. So what’s the answer? Try to lock down the system. This is why anti-cheat software, to play a video game, has more access to your computer’s hardware than you do as a user. Full access to every single file, data in memory, webcams, things on screen, etc. What’s going to happen if it becomes mandated that age checks must happen in the OS? We’re going to get computers so locked down that you won’t be able to open a .txt file without some kind of authentication check. No thanks. I’m happy to avoid every single age-check required service.

One million seconds is 11.5 days, one billion seconds is 31.7 years, and one telling seconds is 31,700 years.

pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads. Let’s be very clear, they are not and never were “subsidised by ads”. Ads just became a new way to extract more money from customers.

What’s a “death pick”?

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.

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.

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. youtu.be/o2_SZ4tfLns

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.
