Sex with a hella sexy robot? Nice.

Using a hella sexy robot to fill the emptiness of no intimacy or authentic mutual connection? Not nice.

For some reason sex with a robot doesn't feel gross to me — until they start using it to fill a hole (hehe)

I will never forgive Microsoft for just straight up deleting everyone's (mine) MineCraft purchases and accounts, and then having the gall to tell us to buy it again. It's still in my Microsoft Store purchase history, for Christ's sake.

I'd sooner buy Skyrim 4 more times than buy back what was stolen from me.

Definitely. Quite a few are obvious, most are not so obvious because MAGATs sound like broken records anyway; but some are very clearly humans, die hard MAGATs, who are feeling betrayed right now by Trump's antics and the state of the country. Never thought I'd see the day.

Either that, or everyone is a bot and nothing is real anymore (also likely?)

Through the release of the first iPhone to the mid 2010s I'd wager that most consumers agreed that iPhones were superior to Android by most metrics: they featured more support across the board, had more apps, looked nicer, and were considered the premium. Apple pioneered the modern smartphone and had a headstart in getting users hooked into their ecosystem. Nowhere was this more pronounced than in the wealthiest country in the world (and Apple's home country).

That's a huge generalization but I think it resonates true to a degree. Also, anecdotally, I remember that all my school computers were Macs when growing up. I'm sure Apple seeped its tendrils into people's lives a variety of ways. It's not a cake walk for most people to switch ecosystems. As a lifelong Windows user I'll have a panic attack if you asked me to print a document on a Mac; I'm sure its the same vice versa lol

r/Conservative is particularly interesting right now. Moderation can't keep up with the rate that they've been attacking each other for not being 'true' conservatives (and these are flaired users: the regulars who have been vetted by the mods). It's like a litmus test for MAGA's cohesion

Ahh interesting. Is that a Windows 11 thing? I haven't taken the plunge

  • Keeps your progress if you exit without saving
  • Supports tabs so you don't have 5 separate notepad windows open
  • syntax highlighting for programming languages and markdown format
  • plugin support
  • can handle extremely large text files (I've opened 50gb text files and used ctrl+f to find terms and it worked fine)
  • superb tools for manipulating text (e.g., use reg expressions). Super easy and flexible in making mass edits.
  • dark mode support. That alone makes it superior lol

If you just need a quick window open to make a note you might actually prefer Sticky Notes over Notepad!

Sorry, I misread. What is bad about the UX exactly? You don't need to customize anything if you don't want to; "it just works". And I dont follow you on how having the option to customize things makes it a bad user experience. You're assuming the native UI is bad for some reason.

I've used Plex a lot too back in the day but there's nothing it provides that Jellyfin doesn't do out of the box + self-hosted + for free.

Man I've been looking for this exact sort of project for ages. Thanks for sharing, OP!

You can change the UI design to whatever you want with a custom CSS. Can make your own or there's a plethora of themes on GitHub. I remember trying one that replicated the Netflix app, and don't hold me to it but I think I saw a Plex one as well.

Also, regarding the metadata, there are options that auto populate it for you. Idk how it does it, but my haphazard library of torrents all had accurate metadata AND it downloaded the subtitle files as well.

I tried Jellyfin two years ago and was so fed up troubleshooting the installation that I swore it off. Tried it again a few months ago and it worked flawlessly! Now I host movies, shows, music, ebooks, and audiobooks for a handful of friends and family. My jellyfin instance is probably siphoning $120/month from Netflix's subscription revenue lol
