Using jellyfin on Chromecast. For the past 3 weeks I’m stuck not being able to use it because some update broke subtitles support for external players. App became useless, I can’t downgrade it, and the bug is still not fixed.

Not going to use Plex, just my 2 cents.

Nah it’s probably just Edge (aka Chrome) all over the new UI.

I mean does it even look like creators are aiming to produce child like appearance? Full sized products would be more expensive to create and ship, and for customers - to buy and store.

You can easily buy a compact silicone alternative with human body features and… you’d be called a mutilation maniac?

Is there actual correlation between buyers of such products and real child abusers?

Not all web apps are overengineered crap

I didn’t say that. There are always well engineered apps and things. But few. Compared to that, a lot of mainstream desktop apps are now web apps for no good reason. The actual reason is webdevs not challenging themselves to become something else or at least better.

If I read your case correctly, it’s basically “customers use crappy laptops -> we decided to make them use web browsers” which sounds insane to me because web content IS the reason why tons of otherwise unnecessary upgrades are done in recent 10 years or so. Office guys can’t use Chrome with just 8 GB of RAM because it will affect their business performance.

Not that I don’t believe your case doesn’t contain other specifics that make web a right choice. And I don’t need to know more of that. It’s just how it sounded to me.

Not desktop. Native. You can build native apps for smartphones and pretty much anything. Web comes into play when you decide you won’t build native version of what you want. In some cases that is guided by thoughts like “I know web will fit this project. I know the platform and will remember to keep memory and internet usage low”, but in most cases it’s about “no idea what that startup is about, but I know some AngularJS and they said I can use AWS so that’ll do”.

Similar thing is happening now with Unreal Engine 5. The difference between devs and webdevs became very similar to the difference between coding and vibe coding.

and doesn’t need to store a ton of data

I know by data you mean “data I care about as a dev” but that should also include data that is actually processed and saved on user’s device. And webapps are notoriously bad at keeping their caches and data usage low.

It just so happens that overwhelming amount of them do what they should not do - create actual apps (webapps in reality). We could thank Google or frameworks for this, but ultimately their incompetence leads to situations like this. Webdevs thinking of everything as a platform for their stuff that should be working at all times. If they were actual devs they would build proper native apps, think more about how devices actually supposed to work, and rely on cloud less.

Because we have webdevs and think of them as devs. They are not devs. They are mostly idiots.

I first read that as a hitman image format.

Is there any explanation why this will be effective? Like, “if we find a malware app, we will do this and that to the author’s personal data, and it will help you in that way” etc.

First we complain that AI steals and trains on our data. Then we complain when it doesn’t train. Cool.

So, sue the attackers?

Also don’t forget how people like wasting resources by asking questions like “what’s the weather today”.

I kill people in GTA 5. I don’t kill people in Hentai Incest Generator 3000. Yet someone prefers to see my transaction only for the first one, citing damages to “the brand”.

That’s still less lifting than can be found on Putin’s face.

I can’t call ethical an app that relies on Electron.

Pray the latest we’ll ever witness is LGBTQ2 episode 2.

…Electron inside.

I’ll think about if they also somehow prohibit 3rd party clients from removing that AI garbage.

I really need some free time in my life to try those arrs with unraid, and telegram bots too…
