If only the container was an issue, you would have a direct stream which doesn’t impact quality, it just repacks it in a container that is compatible with the client.

You can see the transcode reason on the dashboard by clicking on the i symbol. Start playback on android TV, open jellyfin on your phone and you should see the transcode reason.

Yeah that’s just… bad.

The perspective you just outlined makes this policy so mich more ridiculous than it already was.

Game demos (rare as they may be) also won’t be possible anymore as it costs the devs money.

This seems to be the new normal though unfortunately.

It’s normal that 5-10 percent generational improvement on a product (6800 XT - > 7800 XT) is celebrated and seen as good product, when in reality it’s just a little less audacious than what we had to deal with before and with Nvidia.

It’s normal that publishers and game studios don’t care about how their game runs, even on console things aren’t 100 percent smooth or often the internal rendering resolution is laughably bad.

The entire state of gaming at the moment is in a really bad place, and it’s just title after title after title that runs like garbage.

I hope it’ll eventually stabilize, but I m not willing to spend 1000s every year just to be able to barely play a stuttery game with 60 fps on 1440p. Money doesn’t grow on trees, which AAA game studios certainly seem to think so.

Yes GI and baked in RT / PT is expensive, but there need to be alternatives for people with less powerful hardware, at least until accelerators have become so powerful and are common in lower end cards to make it a non issue.

It was a really good time when the new chromium edge just came out and was a lean, quick and bs-free browser with a few power user features.

Also probably not the best idea to send the out of office reply in Welsh at a translating service :D

Vertical tabs via extension and userchrome mods in Firefox sadly don’t have the polish compared to MS Edge or Vivaldi.

It’s fine, but I find it clashing with the browser history sidebar, and being tuned off by default in private tabs.

It can come close, but until (if ever) official support will be provided, It’ll always feel like a bandaid fix to me.

For that reason I keep both vertical and horizontal tabs enabled. On other browsers with native support I never missed them, in Firefox however I need both. Relying on sidebar-powered vertical tabs alone is not a good User experience.

I would be shocked if I install an OS and couldn’t open media.

Choice is good but giving a direction is also a good idea. Maybe they could introduce a media pack of some sorts.

Screencap / screenshot tools should be included by default tho.

Being a maintainer / project owner is not always fun, but it’s rewarding in a sense that you’re able to offer something useful to others.

I don’t like providing free support via github issues. And that’s usually what happens, you don’t get many developers that put care into bug reports. Instead it’s mostly users that don’t really understand, sometimes entitled, sometimes really nice but completely wrong.

However I really appreciate those that do care or at least follow the template and make an effort.

I see issues as a form of a necessity to help the software improve, but I’ve chosen to no longer pay too much attention to it because it’s just draining.

Support is draining, and I respect everyone who does it, those who provide support for free even moreso.

Reading about reddit for me nowadays is like seeing a tech news article for something that doesn’t concern me.

It doesn’t feel really relevant anymore. I think that’s a good thing given that I feel like I can find most of the content I used to go to reddit for on the fediverse. With higher quality even. People seem to be of more diverse options as well, which is great.

My brain once swapped the letters F and L in my head and I typed

iptables -F

Instead of -L.

The standard input policy was drop. It was a VPS and I didn’t have access to the management panel. Fun times.
