  • You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning

  • I assume it's better to leave it and have it not work, then them sneak it on without me knowing or baking it into something else

  • Maybe this gives me a false sense of security but I bought the adguard pro on social stack (I think...). I just turn all of the connections off on gemini, meta and Bixby. Like this

  • Unfortunately they're by a Canadian author and I haven't seen them even at my local library even.

    It's "The Power of a Playlist" and the workbook as well

  • If I'm using lidarr with Windows can this still be done or is this a Linux only thing? I checked out the website for soularr and it looks like it's Linux or docker only.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • Couldn't have said it better myself. I used plex for free for the better part of a decade. Bought lifetime when a raise was coming and it was still $140 (kicking myself because at one point with a sale I was looking at something like $45).

    I've used plex pass enough, and it's my main driver for all our entertainment outside of music and audiobooks that if they asked for some more money, I wouldn't care so much.

    The ease of use, the UI, and remote access without having to jump through a bunch of hoops is worth it.

    No shade to Jellyfin, but it's not nearly as dumb dumb friendly.

  • Yeah, that's fair haha. I'm talking home use for sure

  • What hill will you die on?

  • Maybe. But switching from Windows to Mac, and again the opposite wasn't an issue. The learning curve was just changing the way my hands work with keyboard shortcuts. Functionality was so similar. Until Linux can get away from using terminal it'll be an issue. It may be anecdotal, but my anecdote is significantly more common than yours when you reach past Lemmy. Everything about Linux is awesome, except for the user experience itself and ease of use and it won't be mainstream until its structured in a way that makes it so. I'm very much pro FOSS and pro decentralization but I also only have so many hours in the day to be Sisyphus, pushing the rock up the hill of trying to understand Linux only to be in the same position and more frustrated than when I started.

    And putting Linux as it is right now in schools will do no good. Kids are on phones. Right now, more than ever. They are used to and demand the easy os/app/website/etc.

  • What hill will you die on?

    Jump

  • For Linux to be a considerable contender for the average user, they need to make it more simple and like a Windows or Mac os.

    I used Windows my whole life pretty much. Switching to Mac for a 5 year period was easy. Switching to Linux was easy. Using it was not. Installing a different distro was easy, using it was not. Rinse and repeat 3 more times and hello windows 11, looks like I'm using spyware. Because it just works.

  • Do you know of any "one a day" critical thinking apps or websites with which you can practice a brief and daily critical thinking exercise?

    Jump

  • On this line of thinking, are there any once a day mindfulness prompts? All I can seem to find are journaling apps, etc.

    I just want a prompt at 6am to make me think about something positive to start my day

  • European tourism to the USA in free fall

    Jump

  • It boggles most of us too. Even the most conservative people in my circles are taking up anti American purchasing practices, uniting under the maple leaf. Even the most conservative people in my circles are looking to te liberal party as the only sane option (which is an entirely different conversation but the point is PP scares them)

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • I try to use Foss but only when it's a lateral move. I tried Linux mint. It came close but there were so many little things that just didn't make sense to me as someone who used windows for the last 25 years. Do I want to use Windows 11? No, especially with everything they've been doing to it. But in terms of usability, the sacrifices that I make by using Windows 11 outweigh the extra work, frustration, and time spent trying to figure out Linux (tried 3 different distros too).

    I have 3 little kids, a full time job and aging parents. I don't have hours every day to try and make stuff work.

  • Here's the thing though, for the average plex user (myself included) you've already used too many acronyms and words I don't understand. Plex serves a purpose for a lot of people, people who are even willing to pay for it to be easy.

    Kind of reminds me of Netflix before anyone else did streaming. They had so much stuff I stopped sailing.

    Carney says Canada’s tariffs to stay until US shows ‘respect’

    Jump

  • As a Canadian, we've had the attitude for awhile "at least we're not as bad as the USA" but we've definitely drifted from the EU way of doing things. I've always felt like a hybrid between the two (with leanings more to eu).

    I wish as Canadians, instead of looking over the fence and patting ourselves on the back for not being the USA, we'd look over the fence and try to see what we can do to improve more (because why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to).
