Or just personal definition, i see you use spicy, but I just call everything that can give me the sniffles “hot”.

When I say something’s spicy I’m usually referring to literally a large amount/variation of spices, which aren’t necessarily hot at all.

You’re not wrong with the comparison, but the whole point of the computer having control over the vehicle is that this doesn’t happen, despite the driver’s abject negligence.

People are lazy. Getting people to sign up for a forum has a much MUCH higher inertia than just clicking join in a group on a platform they already have an account for.

People will subsequently evidently just “deal” with it’s inadequacies.

Reddit has the same advantage, you have one account and subsequently have access to a billion and then some communities. Ditto for Discord versus self hosted solutions like Teamspeak.

Lemmy kind of adresses all of this, but actual forum software I think is still mostly the same as it was in the early to mid 2000’s when I used it. It’s demise is a shame but not a surprise.

I’m good with hot food, to the point I actually occasionally use nasty sauces like the infamous Da Bomb on things I legitimately eat, but I’ll never get people that say sriracha isn’t hot.

Maybe I buy a special one or something, or it varies wildly from person to person, but i like to put a good juicy squirt of sriracha on my cheese sandwiches and it definitely still clears my sinuses quite effectively.

Maybe I’ll get down-voted so hard I end up below earth’s tectonic plates but I’m against this, in the context of open source software.

The whole point is that it’s worked on by everybody from everywhere and we really need to not tarnish that ideology. Very little money changes hands in this desktop OS landscape and there’s thusly more to lose than to gain here.

You’d literally only be caring about the location of the entity behind any distribution because all the packages that make up the vast majority of Linux distro’s are still going to be coming from the same places as, again, that’s the whole point.

As surprise to absolutely no-one. Me buying a Samsung panel with tizen on it one of my bigger regrettable purchases in my home theater life.

So lazyness is the real answer. ;) This is fair enough, to be sure, but logically I continue to have problems with it when looking solely at the wife factor.

My wife sets nothing up, that’s my area of expertise. My wife’s a user. This is true for Jellyfin but also things like our home automation that she very much enjoys but has no clue to how I made work on a technical level. She just taps things in the Home Assistant app as desired and things happen.

I would also argue setting up Jellyfin, though more a complex proposition as Plex, is a lot easier then setting up things like an *arr strack or ripping the media you eventually play back with it.

Plex does very little in a vacuum so despite it being easier to set up, it would be equally unlikely she ever would.

So far I’ve had no problems using jellyfin on basicly anything that exists in my house which includes a Apple TV, Xbox SX and a Xiaomi TV Box S.

But I can see there’s probably no Tizen app for things like Samsung TV’s.

I use Pop!_Os currently. Also has an “nvidia distro” and have a comparable experience of it mostly “just working”.

Setting jellyfin up is for the technically inclined, i’ll agree there, but once deployed I don’t really see where Plex fundamentally excels over Jellyfin when it comes to “the wife factor”?

You open the app, app shows library, you click on desired media item, desired media item plays. What am i missing?

Likely something to do with English being a secondary language to the vast majority of the world…

I can’t choose an absolute favorite, that’s like choosing a favorite child.

It’s a toss up between the Mass Effect Trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher (in partiuclarly 3) and (most) of Fallout games (but in particular 1 and 2).

If you were to put a gun to my head I’d probably pick either Mass Effect Trilogy or Cyberpunk 2077, probably based on what game i’ve played for the millionth time most recently.

Getting banned from Reddit is Reddit doing you a favor.

Proton is fairly far in delivering a polished unified experience in commonly used internet services, including mail + calendar, password manager, file/photo storage and vpn services.

I pump the brakes with the swearing if I’m around kids, complete strangers, or people I know really take offense to it, i’m honestly not trying to be rude on purpose.

But other than that, no. I swear a lot and have no intention to lessen that. It’s an excellent coping mechanism for stress and it doesn’t hurt anybody or, in fact, anything.

Replacing it with things like “what the cluck” would only add to the anger I feel in the moment because I think that’s horribly cringe.

Cyberpunk (and Witcher 3) already runs, and honestly way better then I expected, on my steam deck. They even have a specific graphics setting to accommodate for it’s obviously limited hardware, so CDPR are also aware people play their games on the steam deck as evidenced by this graphics setting.

Steamdeck is linux. Obviously this proton translation layer that is being leveraged is very capable.

For all intents and purposeses, CDPR is already where they need to be for half-decent Linux support and honestly I don’t understand why they didn’t already draw that last sprint that would be required to fully support this.
