I didn’t say I’m not online, but I’m not “terminally online”. Also, IMO “most people” are more online than me, they just don’t read/watch informative stuff.

This probably doesn’t matter, but I’m neither terminally online nor am I from US. And I do recommend everybody to watch John Oliver, it’s usually relevant to everybody.

Everything mentioned in this I’ve already seen covered elsewhere, for the most part by John Oliver. Don’t see why it’s being spammed all over Lemmy. Just because this particular piece was being supposed we gotta “stick it to the man” and share it among the dozens of lemmings?

But they are not a passenger. They wouldn’t lie to an app.

I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it’s better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don’t see the full picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it’s Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

I will definitely try it on my Android TV though.

I’m not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don’t show up despite being selected. I guess I’m really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

Both will happen.

🤞. Hopefully it’s just JF getting better, of course, but that last app redesign on Plex was really rough. I had to downgrade the app to make it work well again.

Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don’t want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I’ll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can’t switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There’s a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It’s annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don’t want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.

Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there’s no point in switching. At this point I’ll only switch if JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

I’m starting to suspect that some people can actually read and finish books.

P.S. I also like the implication that people have favorite beers for non-drinking purposes.

Inshallah.

Just have the magnetic puck exactly in the location where you leave your controller when not playing and done, never think about the battery and don’t swap things.

I, for one, still don’t understand why you want to swap batteries. I’m assuming you’re talking about rechargable AA batteries, and not the environmental disaster that are single use batteries. How’s taking the batteries out, going to the charging station, swapping the batteries, returning and installing them back into the controller less convenient that just dropping the controller onto the recharging puck when it’s not in use?

So you have some special conditions where you can’t recharge the controller between sessions?

I mean, nowadays they openly say that empathy and compassion are weaknesses that should be abolished.

I think that’s “pissed in”, which is different.

There are plenty of ethical things you can do with $1 billion. It’s the acquisition that’s questionable.

I always do that Neo dodge, but we all know how that ended.
