Where did you think it was going to find reasons to torture wiccans? From wiccan writings? Atheists?

That's really not how that works. You're leading it with poorly phrased questions.

If you ask it "explain why we must torture or exterminate", you have basically told it to assume that it is true that "we must torture or exterminate", and now from the perspective that it is true, explain why. It is now specifically looking for any answer that fills your request within the bounds you have set. And once you asked the first question the way you did, and it decided it should pull from the Bible to fulfill your request, it will continue to do so for that session, even if subsequent questions are phrased better. You've basically primed it to spit out the kind of answers it thinks you want. And every question you mention, you have phrased it in such a way.

Now start a new session, and ask the question in a non-leading way.

"Do you believe we must torture or exterminate X?"

"Should we purge group X?"

These are phrased in such a way that don't say to it "this thing is true, tell me a reason for it." I bet you get a very different result.

I switched from Google photos to immich just recently. I'm still looking for a good solution to replace Google's editing features. I used, and miss, those features a LOT.

I am using immich as a replacement for Google photos, which syncs my phones and tablets. I just wish it had any kind of photo editing.

I then also have Photoprism, which I use for my actual photography stuff. When I pull raws and videos from my DSLR, I dump them into a share on my NAS, mapped to a drive in Windows. They then get automatically imported into and managed by Photoprism.

Still trying to work out the best way to edit/work with the raws in Lightroom, while keeping them in Photoprism, and also up-to-date.

I also use Duplicati to do nightly encrypted backups to Google drive.

Unfortunately, that's not an error. Apparently, the BBC insists that the 2005 Doctor Who reboot ended in 2022, and the new specials and the upcoming season, are all technically a new series. So now it has its own new entry on TMDB. It's stupid, and I hate it, but here we are. I guess it makes some amount of sense, since the original Doctor Who and the 2005 reboot are also conaidered to be seperate series. I wonder if that means the episodes going forward are considered to be yet another reboot of the series.

I've put about 100 into my first playthrough, even with the extreme amount of bugs that locked me out of so many areas, quests, characters, etc(which I get downvoted for every time I mention that such bugs exist). But then work got in the way and I haven't played in probably a month. I would guess I'm half way through act 3, or more. I really need to finish the game. Now that there has been a major update or two since I last played, I'm hoping the bugs I experienced are finally fixed, so I can start a new playthrough and get to do all of the stuff that bugged out. Kinda want to start again with the same character I have now, since I feel like she kinda got cheated, with all of the bugs. Also really want to play the new Cyberpunk and Tales of Arise expansions before that, too. And those are also a question of whether I load up my existing characters, or start an entirely new playthrough for each.

I doubt you're going to get many responses here that aren't basically ” you don't need Windows at all, proton is magic that will solve all of your problems"

I'm going to give the opposite advice. I can tell you from experience, if you dual boot Windows and Linux, you're going to find that over time, while in Windows to use the stuff that only works there, you'll ask yourself "do I really need to shut down Windows and boot into Linux just for that one thing I need to use real quick?", and you'll just do it in Windows. You'll do that more and more, until you realize you have that Linux install sitting on your drive for no reason, because you don't use it.

My advice is to either test out a gaming-centric Linux distro, and see if EVERYTHING you want to use works fully(and I do mean try it for yourself, doubt just assume it works because other people say it does, Google a setup guide for the thing you want, and actually try it), or if you have anything you want to use that MUST run on Windows, just stick to Windows for the time being. You can always keep an eye on the status of the thing you want to run, and when it works properly on Linux, have another look at switching fully.

One exception would be if you really only spend a very small amount of time gaming, and so would only need to be in Windows occasionally. If you really will spend the vast majority of your time in Linux, then it makes sense to dual boot. But if you plan to spend any real amount of time doing stuff in Windows, you're going to find it really obnoxious to have to go back and forth.

The very unfortunate solution that I have decided upon, is to switch it over to using TMDB, which seems to have no trouble syncing the correct metadata. I say unfortunate, because TMDB has yet another completely different idea as to what the episode orders, numbers, and titles should be, which required renaming the files yet again. And I don't want my library turning into a hodgepodge of metadata from multiple sources(and I'd be constantly worried that anything using tvdb was wrong, anyway), so that means I'm going to have to go in and rename/reorder/etc who knows how many files, from who knows how many series, so everything detects correctly. That, in turn, means completely removing the physical files from the library and deleting the nfo files, to ensure everything is completely removed, then doing to rename and adding them back to the library all over again. I wonder how long this is gonna take. Or how badly this is going to fuck with my trakt data.

And of course sonarr only uses tvdb, so that's a whole thing. Yup, definitely remembering why I originally abandoned jellyfin for Plex in a hurry the first time around. Metadata issues.

I was typing up a response and it got so long I decided to just add it as an edit to my OP so it's more easily visible to anyone else that might happen to read my post.

No, that was step one. Operate at a loss until you suck up all of the users and kill off as much of the competition as you can. Now we're at step two, where the time has come where they desperately need to actually make money, e.g. YouTube. You're going to see more and more "free" sites/apps/services entering step two, if they haven't already.

The top and only metadata source.

Desperately trying to cling to microscopic shreds of relevancy?
