In my case you can unironically blame Valve. I wanted an Arch-based distro to stay as close to SteamOS as possible but I have an nvidia GPU for the foreseeable future (unless I win the lottery or something).

Arch USER Repository. Use the official repositories if it’s a concern.

Legend has it they’re an elite hacker also known as “anonymous”

Reddit, you say…

Everyone here speaks the universal language of shitposting. It would be irrational not to support each other!

Enderal. Which is… a skyrim mod. Although calling it a mod does it a disservice, it’s a whole new game.

It’s definitely because of Louis. He’s been doing a lot of work in the right to repair field, as well as this whole fuckin fiasco that Bambu (the 3d printer company) got themselves into by violating the LGPL license with some software. Streisand’d themselves good on that one.

was gonna say the same thing. needs a few boxes under the tv.

It’s the “relativity of simultaneity” concept transformed into a social domain instead of a spatial one!

Yerp. Poe’s Law is a sunuvabitch.

Ironically, this kind of response is exactly what I’m talking about.

not a frothyboi sorry. unless you’re encouraging other people to just open it to the internet with no security in place… that’d be a bit frothy.

Like I’m all for choices you know. But I want people to make informed choices. If I’d tried to pitch Jellyfin to my group of gamer friends for sharing media then it would have gone nowhere because it requires more technical knowledge than they possess or that I want to support. They were all able to set up free, relatively secure Plex instances with essentially no assistance.

Paper wasps are okay, they just want to eat rotting wood to make their nests. Fuuuuuuck eastern yellowjackets though. I’m pretty sure those assholes sting you on sight because they enjoy it. They make me glad that we also have bald-faced hornets to keep them in check.

It’s only frothing if you insist that installing tailscale on your grandma’s DSL modem is the best way to share home movies

Also you dont have to be lumped in with the frothing at the mouth Jellyfin users.

At this point if I were to switch from Plex I would go with Emby just because a bunch of sweaty nerds don’t simp over it every time Plex comes up in the news.

Less mentioned downside - digital rights management is significantly degraded in linux. Most commercial streaming apps/sites will work but but only at SD or 720p.
