with everything being web-based, windows is slowly turning into a fancy dummy term/thinclient. exactly the control businesses want.
linux on the other hand is being fleshed out as a true desktop pc with all the customization most of us expect of a daily driver.
why ask why, try bud dry
hell they could have called it anything… seems like they couldnt get past their egos to see the value in a new designation
really sounds like the stock market is just human greed distilled and removed from all direct responsibility.
i cant understand how anyone can defend it. it is a cancer
is this the ‘jumped the shark’ moment for companies? as soon as they go ‘public’ you can no longer assume their product is their priority.
my favorite bit was how no one at microsoft actually understood their own licensing pricing. for decades, you could call microsoft for pricing and get different answer from people in cubicles next to each other or even from your own rep.
it was as if they were making it up as needed.

no. no reason to expand poor practices into linux because microsoft fucked up. we need ‘least access required’ methodology even at home because the world is full of bad actors.
if microsoft had correclty implemented security into dos/winx.x we wouldnt have had half the virus issues we did in the late 90s.
i think the other half was caused by activex
microsoft doesnt want to annoy people, but in a corporate environment this requirement is fully implemented on windows.
i was never under the impression macs belonged in a business environment. maybe apple just doesnt find that level of security important.
if youre using Emby/Jellyfin you would just need emby to access the folder with your music. users would be authenticated through emby.
i think you should groom your media before you drop it into a media broadcasting solution like emby. i use MediaElch for video, you could use picard for music management. im fairly certain picard has dup detection and rename abilities.
so you get all your music tagged, renamed and encoded the way ya want. then get them organized into files/folders… then drop that into your emby library.
lidarr is for obtaining media files and creating a process that automatically injects it into your library. you would want emby running correctly first.
If zooey deschanel has taught us anything, it’s that you can dress period-cute without suffering the period
i am no fan of the proprietary model here, but i think they disingenuously compare it to the rabbit R1 device.
i love the idea of an local-llm-in-a-box, and they claim to have a working (minimal featureset) model that could be expanded. the rabbit device is a glorified siri
eh, i am a firm believe in if it aint broke, dont fix it.
im still on mint for app curation/compatibility. i have yet to have a process/task/server product not function as i need it to on mint. im up to 6 machines and a few ‘servers’.
i feel like vr will have an actual purpose and general utility about the same time we bring those in-development fusion reactors online.
until then its niche/entertainment only.
change the world? Not anytime soon
uhg plex? no way. i cant imagine any self hosters choosing plex
thats actually what this is, qmmp
i remember when you could get disks from netflix… 7 at a time! i would turn them around same day. it really helped fill out my movie collection
