Pakistani religious body declares using VPN is against Islamic law
  • So if I call you a moron for not believing that the Easter Bunny is a real deity, you shouldn't criticize me?

    Religious people literally believe in things that mostly are no longer believed in after someone reaches about 10 years of age. All this thing's, Santa Claus, slender man, you name it, it's all dropped as fantasy yet religion keeps being reinforced causing actual sane adults to believe that there is a magical sky being.

    As this article goes to show, it's a great tool to control the populace, it has little real world value.

  • Right? Right?!
  • The thing though is that you NEED a centrist government. Just as a pure right wing government ignores the wishes of many, a pure leftwing government will so too.

    I'm not even saying it should be 50/50, you just need actual honest representation.

    That ain't ever going to happen though with the current first past the post and winner takes all system. You need a representative democracy

  • Thanksgiving 2024
  • I guess that is the biggest crime the Republican party committed, it polarized society for decades now, taking us to today where families are falling apart over something as stupid as politics

    Next stop: a possible civil war where not only neighbor kill neighbors, but even family kill their own members

    Mind you, I'm not trying to excuse the fascist assholes, but a lot of these people were just people watching the wrong YouTube channel for a while, watching more and more fox news, etc... how would they have been today had they gotten normal content that wasn't specifically designed to brainwash him?

  • Wife of former Marine to be deported to Mexico Friday, after 20 years in U.S. (2018)
  • I'm sorry, what does this have to do with voting Trump? Trump isn't in the white house yet, he doesn't have this power yet. Come January, sure shit will hit the fan but for the moment this doesn't seem to be a trump issue yet.

  • Far-right Israeli minister orders preparations for West Bank annexation
  • Jesus h. Chist, you ARE the problem in the room. You and people like you.

    Had kamela won she could have doubled down in Israel. If not, mass protests could have pushed her. Something, anything could have been done. Hell, even if nothing was done, at least the worst impulses would have been constrained. Now, because of smug assholes like you, the US will likely become a dictatorship, the US likely will pull out of NATO and the entire fucking world will become a much, much dangerous place to live in. Forget about internal policies that will make racism and discrimination against anyone slightly different okay again, this shit affects the whole goddamn world. People like you ate the reason why a Jesus-will-come-back-if-we-end-the-world cult is now in possession of nukes.

    Oh, and Palestine is absolutely fucked now.expect it to simply and completely disappear, you are the reason why so many men, women and children will be slaughtered

    Thank you!

  • change: option to not exit media posts with a click on the media

    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...

    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?
