It doesn’t happen automatically, you’ve just gotten lucky with your files. Subtitles can be embedded in the video file.

Do not take what this government says at face value. Palantir has their fingers in it like crazy.

Yes, this. Torrenting music is not necessary. Slsk is a better option 99% of the time. Most of the tags are the automatic ones applied by the streaming service it was ripped from or MusicBrainz. But everyone seems to expect different things from tagging, so if you want every performer tagged and like every genre you’re never gonna find that.

Librem 5 is what you’re thinking of

One joke

You know those are the exceptions, not the rules. Capitalism means that you play the dirty tricks everyone else does or get left behind. Legislation is the way out of this, not the delusion that we can convince people to just “choose better”. I tried to convince people for the better half of a decade. People simply do not have the knowledge to understand why they should care.

I don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money

Honestly I just use PiVPN on my clients and Jellyfin over HTTP. (The VPN encrypts traffic, don’t worry). It’s more secure than exposing it to the public internet in any way, really. After I had a goddamn Minecraft server get joined by a bot I stepped up security - in 2025, any hole will be exploited for data and botnets. If you’re hosting for family, I think there’s still value in the security Plex is offering by being the middleman between your computers in your home and the outside world.

Both sets. Also fuck it just make me my fursona. I don’t care what the implications are it’s gotta feel amazing to have wind flowing through fur

+1 for thrifted laser. Just look for replacement toner before checking out.

Yeah, I think laser with viable third party cartridges is the actual answer. No matter what brand. Individual model is more important than the brand too, because my Brother was actually still kinda annoying to get working properly.

Inkjet isn’t appropriate for somebody who prints infrequently, especially refillable inkjets, because they dry out even faster than cartridges. Toner is powder and stays good for basically as long as the printer is functional.

It might depend on climate, because I live somewhere semi-arid, but it’s worth keeping in mind.

Because they suck.

That’s unfortunate (for Linus), but Louis Rossmann’s story about dealing with Linus directly pretty clearly shows him to be an unpleasant person that thinks of relationships as transactional. And it is objectively true that LMG is going for quantity over quality of videos.

As other people in this thread have stated though, it seems this problem isn’t actually about Linus or LMG, it’s a greater trend at YouTube.

Veritasium is not super high on my trustworthiness list after the self-driving car ad incident

Eh. I lost any interest I had with Linus after the whole Gamers’ Nexus thing, and I’m definitely staying away after hearing what Louis Rossman had to say about the guy.

Well, don’t use both at the same time… Seriously though pipewire/pipewire-pulse have fixed all of the already pretty infrequent audio problems I’ve had

Agreed. I started to wonder what happened to my passion. But the thing is, I still really like electronics and that sorta thing, it really is just the monopolization and various anti-consumer practices that killed my love of computing. So now I’m considering an EE degree instead.

90% of the complaints I’ve heard about GIMP are just because its UI and workflow are different from whatever tool they’re used to. I like GIMP just fine because I learned on it. I don’t even like using Krita because I feel like it’s 50% gimp with a skin lol

I would love for us to not be America’s bitch one day.
