If you're waiting for Jellyfin to run some kind of relay like Plex, you'll be waiting a long time. That takes a lot of money to upkeep, and the demand for people who self-host FOSS and then want to depend on an external service is very minimal, certainly not enough to sustain such a service. I'd recommend just spending a weekend afternoon learning how to set up Nginx Proxy Manager and being done with it, the GUI makes it very easy.
Scientific consensus was never that cigarettes were healthy. Advertisers pretended it did, and you clearly fell for the ruse.
Consensus was never that GMOs caused cancer. There's no proven study that established that link.
And lastly, "science itself does not consider that it is always right" makes no sense as a statement. Are you trying to say that science reflects our ever-changing understanding, and thus we must always be ready to update our beliefs when presenting with new information? Because it that's your point, then one, you are extremely bad at expressing what you mean, and two, that means you believe in science.
You may already know this now, but I want to post it for those who don't because it's really cool and way ahead of its time.
That was for the VMU, the visual memory card. It stored your game saves but also some games had minigames you could play directly on it, often with bonuses in the main game. In the Sonic Adventure games you could take care of chao and such on it. That thing ate batteries like candy though.
You don’t go all “I think the earth is flat so I’ll do my best to find arguments as to why it is flat”.
That would definitionally not be believing in science, because that would be an entirely unscientific approach. Believing in science would lead you to do the opposite of this, actually.
Ah, personal attacks, the sign of honesty and strong argumentation. Are you okay?
I have zero patience for pseudo-intellectualism.
I said not to believe in science, as the point of science is to approach truths of reality without getting influenced by beliefs; believing in science as if it is just “truth provider” defeats the purpose as science itself tells to not believe it.
That is not the point of science. Science does not "tell us to not believe it." What podcast did you hear that on?
Bayes' theorem doesn't mean "don't believe anything", you highschool dropout. It is a method of statistical analysis. Specifically, is a method of determining which unknown events are most likely connected to a known event based on the limited information we have. It's not a general logical framework, and certainly doesn't work the way you described it. In fact, it literally requires believing in some kind of first principle as a foundation from which you can then extrapolate the likelihood of the unknown. Expanded further since his death, the general idea of Bayesian inferencing requires repeatedly updating your assumptions based on new information. So it certainly doesn't mean believe nothing; if anything, it means "believe the current thing until proven otherwise".
I will have an OG Xiaomi Mi Box and it's absurd how over the years it went from a purely functional media device to a complete shit show covered ads. Genuinely disgusted me every time I turned the TV on. I couldn't stand it anymore, I had to tear out the launcher with ADB and replace it with FLauncher.
I wish Kodi wasn't such a pain in the ass to deal with, especially for YouTube. We really need a new FOSS media center application. Until then, at least FLauncher works for now as a simple app switcher for a handful of Android apps.
Recently started using Tempo with Navidrome. Haven't had more than a few days of use yet, but everything has worked exactly as expected! Can't ask for much more than that.
If I were to list every FOSS project that has lasted longer, I'd have to spend all day writing the post. winRAR is unique in that it's one of the only pieces of long-lasting proprietary software that didn't die or turn to crap. Such things are not unique or even rare in FOSS.
WinRAR will either die, or be sold and squeezed by its new owners. Nobody lives forever and no asset goes unflipped in this market. You can say you won't update, but that just leaves you vulnerable.
It's not an opinion that proprietary for-profit software will betray you, it is an inevitability. It has happened every single time. If it was FOSS, we could salvage it. It's proprietary, so we can't. When it fails it must simply be abandoned. I just hope you learn the right lesson when this happens.
I'd argue it's pretty stupid to use FOSS but then depend on a proprietary server that only one for-profit company is allowed to run to deliver all that software, trusting them to just never do wrong or leave you high and dry. I'd also argue it fits the analogy perfectly, because the analogy was about saying "I haven't had a problem yet" in response to being shown the potential problems of the action.
Me reacting to analogies with "Did you know these two things are not completely identical?", completely unburdened by the knowledge that I'm supposed to explain how the differences invalidate the comparison.
