It does work with Jellyfin.

Proper HDR support, both on the encoding and decoding side, has been a chore since the beginning. There's no excuse for Plex. But in the open source community, development started slowly because most devs didn't own anything that was capable of playing HDR.

I never said that I was surprised. I just wanted to point out that many companies like my own are already making significant changes to how they hire and fire. They need to justify their large investment in AI even though we know the tech isn't there yet.

The obsession with replacing workers with AI isn't going to die. It's too late. The large financial company that I work for has been obsessively tracking hours saved in developer time with GitHub Copilot. I'm an older developer and I was warned this week that my job will be eliminated soon.

Just block the user. I like Bluesky but I'm tired of the constant posts too.

The relentless pursuit of capitalism and reduced labor costs. I still don't think anyone knows how effective it's going to be at this point. But companies are investing billions to find out.

To me, if Valve wants Linux multiplayer to have a future, they need to demonstrate that they can develop a good Linux anti-cheat solution.

That's much easier said than done. But I hope it's a problem that they're working on. Otherwise, it's going to limit the potential of the Steam Deck and other future Valve Linux hardware.

It was probably incompetence more than malice but T-Mobile customer service incorrectly told me multiple times that I was not allowed to pay off my phone balance early to unlock it. I'm on US Mobile now and I'll never go back to postpaid.

Search for portable Jellyfin media server projects. It looks like there's a few out there.

If you're going to use this in a car, it needs to be as simple as plugging in a single device and powering it on. An over-engineered solution is going to quickly turn into a headache.

I'm definitely interested in a modern Steam Machine and I wish them luck. But it's tough to manage the logistics of crowdfunded hardware if you're inexperienced and I've been burned before. Hopefully they can handle it.

You do. It automatically reboots after applying rpm-ostree updates.

You're right and I'm not saying that I recommend settling it to permissive. You should understand the risks involved.
