  • I’m sure this happens but have no proof. I have family and friends who use my WIFI and I’m sure google and Amazon look at what they search for and think maybe I’ll be interested in it as well and start showinge ads. I guessed I was going to get a chess set for Christmas because I kept seeing sets in my Amazon account but I personally never looked for one or something similar. But my mom got me one. So there is that.


  • I do not understand companies. Truthfully I wouldn’t mind product placement in video games if done right. Buying a can of coke from a vending machine in GTA or a car ad on a billboard on the side of the road of a need for speed game.

    But no advertiser’s need to pause my game in the middle of me doing shit to blast a 30 second ad at me that has nothing to do with what im doing. If they are going to collet and sell my information at least use it.



  • So someone who makes a stylised choice in formating a post to inform people of a cool person and may not know about said possible issue of the accacability, issues such as yours, is a fascist?

    Do not attribute to malice, that which could easily be attributed to ignorance.

    Don’t assume. It makes an ass u me.

    All I’m saying is you should politely inform someone of a better way of doing something as opposed to telling someone to do something. I think I know a group of people who are known for telling other what to do. I wonder what it could be.

    But go a head keep calling anyone who doesn’t do what you say or points this out to you a fascist.






  • In the US there is still a thing ad broadcast TV. Stick a TV antenna up in the air, free TV. Get a tuner card for PC and TV for your PC before streaming was ever a thing. Used it on my laptop when I traveled more. But with setting it up in jellyfin it works but is janky and needs polishing, and setting it up to download the TV guide is kinda a nightmare. With Plex life pass ( this is the feature that made me get it and dropping Comcast cable TV) it just works auto scans for channels and auto downloads TV guide, easy to flip throughout channels even my mom does it.


  • You seem passionate, go fight that good fight against skynet. But I guess some sarcasm falls victim to Poe’s law. You go do you I’m going to do me. As I said I do it feel better about my self as an irrational feeling human. Just like when you stub your toe on the side of the coach. Cussing and yelling doesn’t do any thing but it feels good. I’m not going to go out of my way to try and poison it. It’s all a little anecdote and the irrational side of me that I do and thought I’d share because I am acting like the meme. Haha funny right.


  • But when do I get to be the professor telling the AI to fuck off like the meme if I do it your way?

    Also I’m sure at this point all my conversion’s are being fed back in to train the next one. And yes I do know it has no memory or feelings or didn’t care and I’m sure Amazon cares about my feedback as much as Microsoft does. At this point like Microsoft I rather tell it to fuck off so the emotional creature that I am can feel better about myself without telling a real person to fuck off. Then do everything I can to avoid it and when the bean counter goes to the higher up and says no one is using it. Maybe just maybe they will see it as a waist of money and ditch it just like Facebook’s metaverse or whatever it was.





  • There have been many times when browsing amazon app that Rufas poped up with no prompt or anything, asking if I needed help and every time I tell it to F off and go delete its self ( fallowed by many minutes of me telling it how useless it is). I am sure if AI ever takes over I’ll be one of the first to be taken out as how brutal I treat it every time one pops up in my face. Playing Detroit become Human makes me feel bad but then I get over it quickly.


  • 3 Things stop from using jellyfin 100% of the time.

    1. TV tuner is janky and loading a guide for local channels is garbage. I like watching the morning local news and jellyfin just does not cut it.

    2. I want sub accounts. They used to have something similar but took it out for security reasons. I want to log all my TVs into one account but then have each user select their profile. So I can easily have a restricted profile for say kids then another for my parents then one for me then one for SO under the same roof. It will track each persons watched profile so when someone watches ahead it doesn’t mess with someone else’s.

    3. On the same note, controller/ HTPC remote configs feel janky. I know its there but its not a smooth and easy as Plex. This goes along with above for anyone who says just make another account. You try entering half decent passwords with small HTPC remotes or controllers. Every time you go to watch TV.

    If they could fix these things I would ditch Plex all the way. But as it stands I use Plex for my TV and jellyfin for my phones, tablets, PC.
