donโ€™t forget to bring a towel!

Through the release of the first iPhone to the mid 2010s Iโ€™d wager that most consumers agreed that iPhones were superior to Android by most metrics: they featured more support across the board, had more apps, looked nicer, and were considered the premium. Apple pioneered the modern smartphone and had a headstart in getting users hooked into their ecosystem. Nowhere was this more pronounced than in the wealthiest country in the world (and Appleโ€™s home country).

Thatโ€™s a huge generalization but I think it resonates true to a degree. Also, anecdotally, I remember that all my school computers were Macs when growing up. Iโ€™m sure Apple seeped its tendrils into peopleโ€™s lives a variety of ways. Itโ€™s not a cake walk for most people to switch ecosystems. As a lifelong Windows user Iโ€™ll have a panic attack if you asked me to print a document on a Mac; Iโ€™m sure its the same vice versa lol

r/Conservative is particularly interesting right now. Moderation canโ€™t keep up with the rate that theyโ€™ve been attacking each other for not being โ€˜trueโ€™ conservatives (and these are flaired users: the regulars who have been vetted by the mods). Itโ€™s like a litmus test for MAGAโ€™s cohesion

Seems intelligent and Iโ€™ve enjoyed some of his videos. I donโ€™t know much about him other than heโ€™s a bitโ€ฆ intense? and heโ€™s sparked controversy with some people. I looove the FUTO keyboard app heโ€™s associated with. Itโ€™s the best TTS keyboard Iโ€™ve found, and I refuse to use the Google/Samsung/etc equivalents

Drug addiction. Its not necessarily easy to fix, but we know how to treat it and take care of our vulnerable, we just donโ€™t: social workers, public services, shelters, safe drug sites with drug counselors. Weโ€™ve become so numb to the mass suffering on a societal and individual level.

Personal anedcote, a year ago, a man was dying of an OD next to our Tim Hortonโ€™s drive thru, splayed out in the middle of the road, and the dozens of people driving by cared more about getting their coffee and getting to work than to even call an ambulance. I went to the pharmacy down the road and got a narcan kit and administered it, but Jesus Christ I lost a lot of trust and faith in my fellow man that day. Not enough people care; even people I love and respect say disgusting things about homeless people.

Ahh interesting. Is that a Windows 11 thing? I havenโ€™t taken the plunge

  • Keeps your progress if you exit without saving
  • Supports tabs so you donโ€™t have 5 separate notepad windows open
  • syntax highlighting for programming languages and markdown format
  • plugin support
  • can handle extremely large text files (Iโ€™ve opened 50gb text files and used ctrl+f to find terms and it worked fine)
  • superb tools for manipulating text (e.g., use reg expressions). Super easy and flexible in making mass edits.
  • dark mode support. That alone makes it superior lol

If you just need a quick window open to make a note you might actually prefer Sticky Notes over Notepad!

Sorry, I misread. What is bad about the UX exactly? You donโ€™t need to customize anything if you donโ€™t want to; โ€œit just worksโ€. And I dont follow you on how having the option to customize things makes it a bad user experience. Youโ€™re assuming the native UI is bad for some reason.

Iโ€™ve used Plex a lot too back in the day but thereโ€™s nothing it provides that Jellyfin doesnโ€™t do out of the box + self-hosted + for free.

Man Iโ€™ve been looking for this exact sort of project for ages. Thanks for sharing, OP!

You can change the UI design to whatever you want with a custom CSS. Can make your own or thereโ€™s a plethora of themes on GitHub. I remember trying one that replicated the Netflix app, and donโ€™t hold me to it but I think I saw a Plex one as well.

Also, regarding the metadata, there are options that auto populate it for you. Idk how it does it, but my haphazard library of torrents all had accurate metadata AND it downloaded the subtitle files as well.
