Lemmy being Lemmy, it immediately jumped to ideological purity. As is everybody else on Lemmy, I’m painfully aware of its stance of “car bad”. And I don’t even disagree, but the comparison clearly was between cars and autonomous cars. A properly implemented distributed autonomous system will be better and safer than human drivers, and that was my point. We are not getting rid of cars anytime soon, so might as well make them less bad in the meantime.

But autonomous cars are a good thing. It’s the execution that’s lacking.

You might not be nice, but then at least be kind.

The whole reasoning and especially MacOS exclusion are so contrived that it just has to be.

I’m pretty sure you guys just took the bait. This is either satire or ragebait.

-ant! Finish your words, it’s not that hard!

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.

Impressive. How long have you had this server? Mine is about 1 year old.

Dark Matter (2015) is doing most of the heavy-lifting.

I’m still working on the download part, but I’ve crossed the mark on upload.

But I haven’t finished the first one yet…
It’s in my backlog since the early 2000s.

Apple has its own can of worms, but privacy usually isn’t the issue. At least in comparison to other tech giants.

As I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.

On MacOS, at least for now, AI isn’t prominent at all. I’ve been using an M4 Air for a month before I remembered that Apple Intelligence was a thing and had to google how to use it. So far it only seems to be partially available in 1st party Apple apps which I don’t use anyway.

Coco used to be the serious know-it-all Hermione type, but in the remakes they kinda made her silly, too.

Counter point, Bluey with Subway Surfers in the corner.
