Even on an 8gb or 16gb system Windows uses over 4gb on a fresh boot. At 4gb it’s going to be swapping to fish non-stop. The disk will be thrashed and be dead in a year of use.

I think they are!! I have no idea who it is, so they must be “anonymous”!

It wanted me to make an Embark Studios account. And yes that is a big deal.

You are aware that you see beforehand whether the game requires a separate account (at least on Steam)?

No, because as I indicated in my post, I didn’t buy it. I installed it from someone else’s account within my family group.

Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?

I don’t know, but not my concern.

And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.

Not according to the prompt I was shown.

I installed Arc Raiders from my family sharing group, fired it up then closed it and uninstalled it as soon as it says I need to create YET ANOTHER account just to play this game.

I’m done creating an account for every single game.

One million seconds is 11.5 days, one billion seconds is 31.7 years, and one telling seconds is 31,700 years.

pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.

Let’s be very clear, they are not and never were “subsidised by ads”. Ads just became a new way to extract more money from customers.

What’s a “death pick”?

No no, I know what you’re implying, I was implying that the link doesn’t prove what you think it does. I’m assuming you fixated on the Munich project, and that is a convoluted story and the Wikipedia entry on that is not up to date. The latest on the Munich project is that they cancelled the switch back to Windows.

Edit: And I can only assume that you were referring to the Munich story because you threw up the link with zero quotations or direct references. If you have a specific interpretation of that Wikipedia article, then you need cite things. What exactly is the “cost of migration”? Is it one million dollars or 50 million? Did it take a weekend to do, or did it bog down entire departments for months at a time? Is that 50 million dollars over budget? How are the immediate costs vs long term savings measured? Because the savings are measured in decades, not single year or several year licensing costs.

I’m not going to do your job for you. You might think that a months or even years long transition progress is unacceptable, but someone like myself who works in IT would see that is within expectations. If you have a point to make, then MAKE IT.

What exactly are you trying to prove with that Wikipedia link? If anything it shows relatively wide adoption of Linux.

Seems like you understand the original meaning already.

annoying idiots saying “unused memory is wasted memory,”

The original intent of this saying was different, but ya it’s been co-opted into something else

I maintain open source projects too, and I fully understand the burnout, the pressure from supporters and such.

Then you should know better than most that your wording and approach matters.

For the love, as a Plex alternative, they don’t even have a native app on all major tv stores. It should be a P1 feature.

Are you really bitching this hard about a completely free and open source project?

It’s not technology or finances that kill most FOSS projects and burn out the devs. It’s this kind of shitty entitled unappreciative demanding attitude from users.

As others have pointed out, there are fully functional and good quality frontends available, such as Swiftfin.

Once Jellyfin can do that or something similar

Once Jellyfin does that then it’ll be time to look at jumping ship to something else, because that’ll be the indication that Jellyfin is going down the same road as Plex.

corruption

noun

• dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

My country’s ok

A capitalist cannot be corrupt.

Alex, I’ll take stupid things said on the internet for 800.

Ah, ok. Well, Poe’s law

Lol, no. A good majority of the time the issue is something simple like a loose or broken ribbon cable that would cost $3 in parts and $50 in labour (if you’re being generous with the time).

This practice of the “Genus” bar people telling a customer that they need a whole board replacement that would cost $2000 and saying it’s cheaper to get a whole new computer is well documented.
