Giving a buck to that dev is better for him than all those ads you “watch”.

OC could watch 2 ads a day for 5 years and it still would make the dev less money than a $1 donation


Because Nebula pays more to the creators. The people who make the videos I watch didn’t make shit on YouTube


I know this is an unpopular opinion but I love YouTube and it really bums me out to have to drop it. My home account has been heavily curated over the past two decades and it’s pretty rare to see a video on my homepage from the shitty part of YouTube…now I’m getting ads and just closing the tab. I have a separate account just for listening to music on my work laptop and I’ve found a ton of new artists through it, too…not sure what I’m gonna do once it starts getting ads, too.

I have a Nebula subscription but only like 1/3 of the channels I watch are on there. And obviously none of the music



Tired of ads at the gas station? Carry a lighter


So you read the title and tagline but ignored the body of the post?? Why would you tell anyone that let alone complain about it


OP is using Jellyfin. I don’t think they’re planning on subscribing to Apple’s monthly services.

AppleTV (the device) is cheap as fuck for what you’re getting because subscribers is the real money maker for them. What feature rot do you speak of? I installed AppleTVs for years and the only functionality my clients ever lost was when they forced iCloud integration for awhile. I also think it has by far the best remote of any streaming device but that’s personal preference.

I use a heavily-blocked Roku Ultra so it’s not a fanboy but you’re like…a reverse fanboy. Hating on it for the weakest of reasons


AppleTVs are really nice. It’s easily the best streaming device for the layman and I say that as someone who generally dislikes Apple’s products. It’s solid, small, and is fairly easy to integrate.

An Nvidia shield costs more money than an Apple TV. Unless you need those extra features, it’s a waste

It’s insane that you’d recommend an Android TV, though. Shit performance and data harvesting galore. Never connect your tv to your network.




Non-emulated AutoCAD and Ableton with full VST support are two big ones. Last I checked there were still ASIO driver issues with my audio interface (Scarlett 18i8), too.

I know things have come a long way since I last mained Ubuntu but I’m not interested in jumping through hoops to get it going even if it’s “possible” when they work natively without issue on Windows.


If that first 50% runs my applications flawlessly, I’m all for it. I do not want to dual boot and Linux doesn’t meet my needs yet.

50% Linux means developers are more likely to create Linux applications which is a step closer to 100% Linux


Braindead comment. It’s like people who say shit like this have never been part of an online community

An asshole bought the social media site you use and you haven’t convinced dozens of friends and all the other people whose posts you like seeing to switch to a different platform???




It was not in my case, the wakes happened when my router or HA controller scanned the network. Changing wake on magic packet (already had wake on lan disabled) remedied it for me.


I think it’s any device that scans for known devices so I’d imagine most routers


Go to your NIC’s properties and scroll down to disable WAKE ON MAGIC PACKETS.

If you have any device that scans for your MAC (probably your router) it will wake up. Drove me crazy until I figured it out


In a once beautiful, quiet neighborhood that apparently got really dangerous in the past year for no fuckin reason.


My car got stolen, recovered, repaired (5 weeks!) and then two weeks later two guys with guns tried to carjack me so…it’s become important to me lol

I hate driving but I cannot see my family out in the boonies without a car


Somewhat related but does anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket gps trackers (not navigation)? I drive maybe once a week so I’m looking for something with a battery life longer of 10+ days


I mean you’re basically saying “it’s different for everyone so do what you want” which is very different than calling OP spineless for wanting to play games that don’t work on Linux. I’m not arguing that the best games require Windows or that nothing else is worth playing - I’m saying it’s arrogant and idiotic to insult someone over wanting to play.


You’re not the one with the attitude I take issue with. You didn’t call OP spineless for wanting to play games that only work on Windows.


I figured the “open source gods” line would have given away that I was being hyperbolic.

We’re talking about online multiplayer games. Unless all of your friends are in the same camp as you, have fun playing not playing with them.

DRM, especially the always online kind, is shit. I get that and I agree. But to act like OP is weak for wanting to play the games that have it is EXACTLY the dismissive shit that turns people away from the FOSS community. It’s gross and I hate it, get off your high horse (not you in particular) and have a real conversation with a person who comes with an earnest question, don’t tell them they “buckled”


DENY YOURSELF EVERY PLEASURE IN LIFE IN SERVICE TO THE OPEN SOURCE GODS
