Can you explain it to those of us that still don’t get it?

First version of Kodi was released in 2002.

It’s now 2026, so that’s more than two decades of development.

If you mean limitations in the client, I discovered that there’s a Jellyfin for Kodi plugin.

Kodi has had decades of development. It’s super customizable, has every feature you can think of, direct plays every video format, and is fast.

Having it act as a Jellyfin client has been amazing and given me the best of both worlds.

Representatives don’t give a fuck what their constituents have to say on social media. It’s full of foreign trolls and bots.

But if you go in person to a town hall / public hearing on an agenda item, they know that you are:

• A real person
• An American
• Extremely likely to vote in the next election.

Source: I successfully killed a local zoning change by convincing my neighbors to go out and speak against it, despite lobbying from a large developer.

You didn’t mention a lack of ads. They remove all the ads when you subscribe, right?

So, all posts are from the perspective of people that are really into music. Enthusiasts that care deeply about individual albums and artists.

Whereas streaming services are most likely designed to cater to casual listeners like me. I can’t remember the last time I listened to an entire album. I haven’t liked any individual artist enough to attend a live concert. I generally listen to music while I’m doing stuff as background noise.

I used to listen to the radio for that. But streaming services algorithms were a strict upgrade to that due to lack of ads and talk show hosts.

Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll be able to determine whether a given piece of music is AI generated or not by listening to it.

So I don’t think direct purchase of digital LPs could ever be viable for people like me. And I’m guessing (based on the success of streaming services) that there are a lot more people like me than there are enthusiasts. Yes, I can switch to the least bad streaming service according to Lemmy, out of solidarity (and no other reason). Remember 99% of people won’t do that.

Just adding a perspective that might be missing from this community

Yes, but ported C# usually doesn’t make for the most idiomatic Python.

99% of the time that doesn’t matter, but a highly security sensitive reverse proxy shared by multiple users most likely part of the stack to be attacked might be an exception.

Shrug. Meta employees make bank.

Dunno how attractive they are viewed as, because everyone there I personally know were already married before they joined Meta.

I remember specifically buying an Nvidia GPU in 2009 because their proprietary driver was awesome and could do multi monitors properly using their proprietary X11 extension called TwinView

$$$

Consoles are a shrinking market. If they were offered money by TV manufacturers to cooperate with putting more ads on it, they most certainly will.

And I suspect Microsoft/Windows will too. Apple might not, though.

In the US

FTFY. The long term outcome for this is that the world stops revolving around the US. For better or for worse

That said though, the sundress looks pretty breezy and comfy too

Yeah they now expect you to use their native protocol for sharing audio on the network.

Pretty much all Chinese EVs use LFP batteries. You can hammer a nail into one and it’ll just stare at you like you’re some kind of dumbass.

Western made ones use NCA or NCM batteries because of range anxiety. But those ones are armored AF so good luck doing any significant damage to them. And I suspect they’ll also switch to LFP within the next decade or so anyway.

Or any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, because those burn way more often.

But their fires aren’t reported on as much because it doesn’t cause as much ragebait engagement.

Yeah initial setup requires their app (once).

But you can use their app without creating an account, which is such a breath of fresh air compared to everyone else.

Offers all the features Google/Amazon do, but without the subscriptions.

Plus they joined the open home foundation, so they’re unlikely to enshitify.

I’m pleasantly surprised that it takes two did so well. I hope it shows publishers that there’s a market for couch co-op!

It’s interesting that anubis has worked so well for you in practice.

What do you think of this guy’s take?
