Embrace tradition, return to XMMS

I still don’t understand why one would install this shitty adware infested distribution when Debian exists (and has basically become just as user-friendly)

They even put ads in the fucking terminal - look at this shit

There is also this one; it’s an actual genuine Windows 95 running on WASM in your browser

I wouldn’t trust a manufacturer-installed system to be honest

Given the size of the userbase I doubt they’d invest in developing and adding preinstalled similar adware as their windows OEM systems but you never know

Better order it without OS

Probably emacs, or wine along with dxvk

Oh god, just reading that name, the flashbacks

This is disturbingly accurate

Just wait for 2024, El Niño will fuck our shit up

Ah, makes sense, thanks; I use Jellyfin exclusively for video as well

For the Filelist thing I prefer CLI tools generally (and all the export formats I’ve seen in the features seem perfectly doable through them); but your answer about XNViewMP definitely has merits, thanks ! I’ll take a look at it

I’ve seen entire corporate networks run through a samba machine, though admittedly not often; it can be done

It’s also probably a bad idea (the only upside would be security mind you)

I’ve been incredibly happy with Jellyfin on my NAS. What does Plex offer that it doesn’t, out of curiosity ?

ImageMagick is shit

I love ImageMagick despite its quirks; but then again I do not use it for professional use (well I do as a dev but I’m not a photograph or anything). What does XNViewMP does that ImageMagick doesn’t ?

Because at first glance it seems much worse - it has a graphical UI for one thing which seems inappropriate for the usecases I see ImageMagick being used for.

Also that Filelist Creator thing has existed on unix since the 70s; it’s called “find”, “ls”, and “awk”.

I really recommend it, at least the first one, it’s a classic and it’s awesome; the later two are admittedly lower quality I think, unless you’re really into cyberpunk.

The name is cool but the Tessier-Ashpool were bourgeois pigs

EMPRESS the batshit insane DRM cracker ?

Chrome is now - and has been for a while - actively a threat towards its users (on top of being one towards the web itself). Here is a recent list of hostile moves, for example.

In terms of threat towards users Windows 10/11 is even worse, by a large margin - it actively and very aggressively spies on you.

Use firefox and switch to Linux (I suggest Debian), comrade

Imaginary Property in general
