I've always thought that the ad supported internet is something people will eventually get sick of and the financial foundation would evolve over time to find models that don't rely on infinite spam. Instead efforts are focussed on forcing us to view them. At this point I'm expecting the next version of Chrome to require the Ludovico technique while browsing.

Yeah, I have never really used search for that same reason, I don’t have enough to lose track of anyway.

Thanks for the reply though. I hear about jellyfin a lot and my needs are simple so I’m gonna give it a go.

Same here, although I'm still using it. It's doing what I got it for and some of the additions are welcome (I use live TV fairly often and some friends and I are sharing libraries) but I have been concerned. What made you switch and did you find something better?

as a dad, in the market for a station wagon, there really isn't anything as cool anymore. I still want a roadmaster (in good condition) so bad, nothing better than a huge, wood paneled boat powered by an LT1.

anyone have a good estimate for how long it will take for these ads to become more numerous than actual posts, at least in terms of visibility. I've got to imagine the impact is going to be spectacular since they are doing this desperate IPO as their fall from grace accelerates.

I support a law that all AI voices must use the Dr. Sbaitso voice. Imagine the impressive inefficiency of training an AI voice with the output from a 1980’s? Sound blaster.

How long until there’s an accepted study of the benefits of electrolytes on plants. Probably already exists in gatoraids filing cabinet.

Looks good but still has the ai hallmarks, rotating legs, f’ed up gait.. impressive though and it’s going be wild to see what results from this latest pox on the tubes.

I’m ok with that for how I use Debian, and is its kind of intended purpose. Outdated but stable is fine for a server being that the latter is my main concern. I wouldn’t use it for my daily driver (tried that and wound up back in Windows). IMHO, Debian has no GUI.
