I'd love to visit antartica which is why I won't, it won't survive humans

Yeah, traffic in the Americas is a joke compared to the EU

Let's say hypothetically that these detention centers actually were humane and actually needed. They're not, they're concentration camps and just a precursor to death camps, but let's pretend for a second that all that is well, these are just nice facilities for immigrants to wait until they go back to their vacation spot...

Even with that, this fucking oist is still disgusting and insane, and it comes from a government account.

Though I get the point, I would caution against calling "racism!" on AI not being able to detect molea or cancers well on people with darker skin; its harder to see darker areas on darker skins. That is physics, not racism

Kudos and keep up the good work!

Sonshes basically saying she wants to see all Latinos dead

I wouldn't call for someone's death but if she wants to see an entire population dead, I'd like to see her dead. She's the hateful problem, not me.

Nobody should have a net worth over, say, 10 million.

20 is okay ish, I suppose, but beyond that it's just not fair or normal

You have 100 million dollars?

You didn't get it through hard work, or the McDonald's burger flipper who also cleans houses on the side would have been a billionaire by now

You didn't get it by being intelligent or smart or scientists would all be rich

You did it through playing the system as it currently exists, and you were lucky

Nobody should have the right to have that much money. Not even half of that.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

I think that oversimplifies the issue.

I have no problem with a millionaire that has a net worth of, say 3 million

I have a problem with someone having a net worth of 30 million

I have a huge problem with someone being worth 300 million

All are millionaires

Mmmmm....

I hate to be that guy and tell gou that I told you so but... From fifteen to about five years ago the left was quite happily bullying everyone and their mother if you'd step out of line and disagree with whatever the subject du jour was.

This basically caused the shift to the right for many people, they were sick and tired of the hostile attitudes that some groups on the left had

Mind you, I'm saying this as someone on the left though I'm sure some of you will already be preparing sone Nazi insults for me, because how dare anyone not have our backs, right?

I'm not saying either that this current bullish behavior is fine either, it's also shit. I'm saying that lots on the left had the same attitude and it pretty much got us trump 1

Hoe about instead of complaining that you cannot be bullish anymore, take this as an example of how not to do it? When the left eventually gets power back, let's be nice to everyone including those that might not directly agree with us

And a EULA that makes VERY clear that, even though you bought this cat, and even though you paid for this cat, it's not your cat. You're not allowed to repair it, you're not allowed to make it better or nicer or change it, and be aware that the price of your service contract, initially a small amount will steadily rise each year until it's completely unaffordable, at which point if you decide to stop paying, your cat dies.

Man, we live in an awesome world today.

Also, do not buy this shit. Buy an actual dog and care for it FFS

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes, absolutely unequivocally YES

Won't happen though, not for a second

The world will burn up and the rich will be the last to die, but at least at last, they will burn too.

Yeah, I'm cynical as hell but what's left these days? I grew up on a steady diet of one hero after another chosing to do the right thing and sacrifice themselves if they had to, because they were the one who could make the difference. So in the real world we have politicians and rich assholes, and they'd all sacrifice their own children before themselves. Nobody will stand up anymore so yeah, were fucked.

Can we please name it for what it is?

Stop concentration camps

 

As the title says.

Saving pictures and videos worked since a long time but since about a month or two, it would freeze up connect and make it crash.

Then a next version fixed it, then a subsequent version broke it again and it has been broken ever since, even after multiple new versions

Any idea when this might be fixed?

Edit: this is on Android v1.0.275 but has been broken in many other versions before that for at least like 2 months now

 

The last update broke a number of features:

Saving images will make the app

Block community or instance no longer working

Subscribe will constantly give "unsubscribed from..."

 

249 would break image saving with some backtrace about the error, the new update I kust received make the entire app freeze and then it just crashes to Android

 

So I've been trying to use Jellyfin for a long, LONG time now, and I've never really been able to use it remotely reliable.

I can go on for a long time about all the problems I've faced, lets just say that after years I can still not use it to watch something with the family because there is always something not working, I could start about hardware decoding having worked for a while and then suddenly without explanation no longer working, but lets start with subtitles...

I just want to have subtitles actually load without having to sacrifice a goat to whatever god is out there to have subtitles work. What is the problem that subtitles just 99% of the time don't work?

Worse, sometimes they work while watching a show, and a jellyfin update comes by and, you guessed it, subtitles no longer work for that show, even though they work for some other movies, sometimes...

I am a software engineer, I do loads of devops, I can find my way around, but jellyfin is just... I dunno what to do anymore. Is there a reliable alternative, perhaps, that actually just works?

I've long given up on the dream that I could have something similar to netflix for all my movies and shows that aren't on netflix, where I can scrub with images, for example, I just want to be able to watch a show with the family with subtitles without fiddling for 30 minutes to try and get it to work.

Current setup is google-tv with 0.17.9 client, and the latest docker server. Shows seem to have okay subtitles on web client, but on google-tv, every time I select a subtitle, I get a "subtitles loading" message, and then 10-20 seconds later a "failed to load subtitles" message.

Anyone?

 

This is super annoying, as I try to pinch gesture zoom in on an image, and I'll go out of the media back to the list again instead.

I'd like to click to already zoom in somewhat, making punch zoom even easier

If I want to get out, I'll press the back button on my phone, or the back button of connect

So I'm back with Netflix and Amazon. I'm kind of done with jellyfin at this point. I've been recommending it to everyone and honestly I'm not sure that I still would.

Jellyfin as a product simply doesn't work. There, I said it.

For a media system I'd hope for the basics to be able to play a movie or show with subtitles, selecting audio channels, and scrubbing and it to remember where I was left. I wouldn't even need posters and all that, I'd get my own subtitles, etc.

I have multiple TVs, but let's go with the old one with a chrome cast. I use my Android phone to cast a show episode. Scrubbing sometimes works. it works better than before because before it would just break everything to the point of the app requiring a reinstall. At least that's fixed now but scrubbing still is SLOW, 10 seconds ahead takes 20-30 seconds to do. Worse though, it borks up subtitles by leaving the subtitles that were there when you started scrubbing, and places the new ones on top of that. The only way out is to exit casting completely, kill the app, restart all from scratch. Obviously JF doesn't continue where I stopped (seriously, requests on that timeframe were made, it can't be that hard to register that, can it?) and so I need to scrub again which, you know, borks up subtitles. So I'll start just from the beginning, I can rewatch the same 5 minutes twice but it annoys the hell out of my wife.

Then, subtitles is a mess. The above, but also switching subtitles will cause similar issues. Don't touch anything when having subtitles!

Then: it's slow. It's godunholy slow. I have a 16 core and Rhyzen 5 cpu, 64gb men @3200mhz, 1tb M2 Samsung Evo 989 pro, and ~60tb over 3 exos drives. An AMD rx7800 XT finishes up the config. It's not the best of the best, but my system, u believe, ranks in the higher ranks of jellyfin installations

Jellyfin cannot play a movie or show without stuttering at least a few times, flat out freezing for minutes during shows, especially in the second episode for that day... If I run transmission in parallel, it just freezes up so much that it's undoable.

Logs don't indicate any major issue, I saw a freeze and had all logs on tail and literally saw no messages whatsoever during that freeze. System utilization was near zero.

Wife isnt tolerating jellyfin anymore and now I have Netflix and Amazon accounts again.

I understand it's open source software, you do what you can, but right now it simply isn't a system that is for the general public. It can be used by nerds like me who have the patience to deal with all the issues.

Edit: Really? 17 downvotes? I'm trying to tell you that the thing doesn't work and that I've spent plenty of time trying to fix it, reading docs, posting questions, nothing has fixed anything so far but can't have people talk about that, or what's wrong?
