  • a media streaming service is the biggest reason I set up my home server in the first place, and when I was first getting started, jellyfin vs plex was the easiest decision of my life. do I go with the weird corporate closed-source paid license platform, or do I go with the foss equivalent that's just as good?

  • There's only one real answer and that's all that can be said about it on a public forum

  • The first time I heard about it I had the same reaction as damn near everyone, but it really makes a lot of sense

  • That's a big part of why I wanted one. Sure I can just use a laptop or build a small PC (hardware prices today notwithstanding), but the form factor alone is enough of a motivator for me.

  • Not particularly, it works great for what it does, but I much prefer the SRM approach. I don't want to use a separate launcher for emulation when Steam is right there.

  • Honestly the only reason I've clung to Emudeck instead of Retrodeck is because it seems so heavily based on ES-DE which I don't want to use whatsoever. Even their SRM support seems to require favoriting games in ES-DE.

  • Eh the password stealing shit definitely is but the special conditions for "israel" are hilarious (even if their code is borked and doesn't actually work)

  • Honestly. I swear this is like the 5th one I've seen in three months

  • tbf the vast majority of that country support him and everything he stands for, so getting rid of one fascist won't change much

  • It's good to avoid in general for sure, but having a frontend available is pretty useful for viewing links and such or a small handful of accounts still in that cesspool.

  • Wild how the most likely way for The Funniest Thing to happen would be if one of these assholes just snapped one day, but in reality they're just doing shit like this lmfao

  • Somehow I never made this connection. I may be stupid.

  • It's incredible how they had almost 0 scalper protections in place here. Like I think the Deck required a 30 day old account at launch?

  • You know what, fuck it, the amoebas can have this planet at this point.

  • Anything I want to say would be considered fedposting

  • Oh interesting. I've been doing this with a dummy HDMI plug for ages, and sure don't fix what isn't broken, but it'd be nice to set it up entirely virtually.

  • Honestly same. I dabbled with Arch back in college but that was over a decade ago, and I just kept going back to Windows for everything but especially for gaming.

    The deck was a bit of an eye-opener, I hadn't kept up with linux news basically since I deleted that old Arch install, and I had no idea things were this good over here now. The deck convinced me to give a desktop distro another shot, and I've been daily driving CachyOS for over a year since.

  • Yeah at this point I don't even consider them an option. They've been shit for ages.

    Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that
