I have a Dell with UHD+Nvidia, took me a while to get Prime working to switch video cards. Even on UHD, it could do basic Steam games and Minecraft if you didn’t have high expectations.

damn good idea, good on you!

I didn’t think you could amp-up pretentious at this rate. Do you eventually level off or just keep going further in hopes that people ban you?

If you wouldn’t have been grumpy about downvotes, i’d have left it be :)

The community is speaking to you.

No, we read part three, it just comes off pretentious enough that we think it still deserves a downvote. It’s not a foreign language anxiety; you’re posting in English. It’s just the next rendition of l33t speak, and no one is really in a hurry for that to catch back on again, those were dar days. I did eventually block the last guy that was hot on thorns, might get to you eventually, but it would be a shame, because outside of the ridiculous way you said it, your point isn’t wrong.

I think it’s more likely that 29 people feel pretty strongly negative about your writing style.

I ripped a ton of my stuff back in the day, guess I’ve been lucky, every generic BD drive i’ve used just worked.

But once you get past the “works” hurdle, the real struggle begins.

It’s slow, like really slow. Assuming you can find the right titles and convince makemkv extract them, it’s a start the process and go brew a cup of coffee slow. But hey, I’ve got time and you don’t need to watch it … mostly.

Depending on the disk, it’s still either crap quality or it takes up an ungodly amount of space. Even a decent sized drive buckles sooner or later if you’re generating 20GB images.

Unless you’re up on your network game, your streaming sticks/tv’s can hardly handle the throughput to stream the video.

So you encode the video. HEVC (which is getting dicey starting january as the royalties go up and processors stop support hardware decoding) or hopefully AV1, which still has spotty support in places. and the re-encode? The easy software isn’t free, the free software isn’t easy, but FFMPEG isn’t that hard to work with.

OR, you find an ISO provider and download it.

I like your rendition the best; they could also add something about the internship.

As I progressed through the internship, I realized it wasn’t a good cultural fit for me. When it came time to run through their self-help boot camps, I found myself wanting to be part of something more grounded.

Bots turn down from 10 to 3

Trolls turn down from 11 to 4 (depending on the instance)

Downvotes don’t mean anything and your comments can’t generally be buried.

Mods/Admins are generally far less petty

Most instances are more open about things that are posted, even if the inhabitants of that instance are less accepting of it.

Every instance has it’s own ettiquite, be sure to read the stuff in the welcome.

They want a safe place to vent. I’m split on whether they leave it open so that guys can read/understand or whether they just like kicking out guys that try to defend themselves. Probably a bit of each. Good for them :)

Can’t crossfade, developers won’t add the features the server doesn’t support it. I get a random crashes at least once a session. Search sucks because I don’t feel like wiring up elastic. Doesn’t stream large lists, browse to P? With 5000 artists and 20K tracks? Forever.

The beta is a little smoother but doesn’t address any of my issues with it.

Symphonium is 100 times better, never crashes, solves lists/streaming by downloading the lists and handling them locally.

I was wondering how long before they dropped that other shoe.

I bought Plexpass when it was $70. Got my money out of it. The centralized login, ssl, caching and proxy are probably worth paying something for.

That said, I’ve mostly walked away from them over privacy concerns and an utter refusal to add community-requested features while removing actively used features.

I just want my AHK stuff to work again. They’re dragging us kicking and screeming into un-avoidable security that breaks software that noone is up for fixing.

First off, thank you for all your work.

Why this hasn’t happened yet

You set the bar pretty high for improvement.

The vacuums are expensive. The work requires multiple top-tier skill sets, and the people with those skill sets don’t generally have enough time to contribute to something this heavy

Somebody could just fork you and clone everything you’re doing, but it’s not like any users would chase someone else versus you when you’re the only one getting actual work done.

It’s also kind of poking the bear for these vacuum companies skirting along by selling user data.

There’s about 400 videos on how to do this

but I’d argue voting third party outside of swing states

absolutely, and i’m a fan of this, let’s get congress full of third, as long as it’s not libretarian third :)

know progressive policies get people excited. They’re not interested in being progressive. They’re only interested in maintaining the status quo and if stepping on you is necessary to do that, they’ll happily do it. Some of them will make a somber face on

All fine and dandy, but voting 3rd without the 3rd being actually viable is just voting 1st for the other side.

s are 2 extremes of this same pro-late stage capitalist status quo system so expecting anything to change by vacillating between them is an unrealistic non-starter.

I don’t disagree, but voting for a 3rd in a tw- party race will also be a useless non-starter.
