So what do they make of people like me who who use Linux on a Mac, with e.g. Colima or Rancher desktop - doing cloud/kubernetes/python development? I moved to a Mac a couple of years ago after 20 years of using Linux as my daily driver because frankly Bluetooth audio on Linux sucks and because I was tired of getting endless different video conference / screensharing solutions working at short notice for interviewing.

Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

Not all these devices support local storage for music and it's a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.

Why do you suppose the training would be out of date? We hear often enough of North Korean cyber attacks so we know that they're keeping up with at least some technologies. Do you really suppose that they don't study other countries military exercises, battles and training material? That they don't play computer war games?

It isn't just the expense. There's also the 'have to wear special goggles/something strapped to your face' issue. This led to market failure previously for:

Can someone just post here how much of a risk this is if you use a Mac but don't use Safari?

Alternatives to Kodi or ways to make it work properly in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Ok. I missed which sub I was in, sorry. There is a Linux desktop Jellyfin app but I haven't used it myself. In my own case I am running Jellyfin on Linux. I use various clients, including web browser (laptop), Android and Roku (TV) and find it works really well. In the past I had tried with the 'connect directly to the server' route with XBMC (as Kodi was called then) and it never worked well, with similar issues those described in other comments.

Well if you want a windows pc app there's this. There's a list of official clients but it sounds like you already know it

Options for non-smart TV in UK 2024? (lemmy.world)

I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here.

In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:

  • 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display
  • 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do
  • 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.

Thanks!

Edit:

Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why:

Lemmy 0.19 compatibility? (lemmy.world)

Two instances I have accounts with have switched to Lemmy 0.19. This is a breaking change for many apps, including Connect. Is there any news re supporting this in the near future or is it time to look for another app?

Edit:

This is now working for me (at least for 2 separate instances) with Connect version 1.0.153 (details in comments below). Thanks so much for rapid response!
