If the arch wiki doesn’t have the answer, I just give up

Louis Rossmann made a video about it noday I think. They (apparently) don’t serve 4k in browsers, only if you use their propietary apps and allow to send them all your data

I fear when lord gaben dies volvo will go public and enshittification will begin

If valve were public, and required to make a lot more money than the previous quarter, they would absolutely need (want?) to get the maximum amount of money from wherever they could. It’s what I think it’s happening with netflix & others. It doesn’t matter that (hypotetically) they make a billion dolars of revenue. They need to make more next quarter. So they need to raise prices, forbid account sharing, reduce content quarity, anything to earn as much money as possible for next quarter.

Volvo could earn a billion dollars, and if they don’t want to earn more, they could happily stay the same. They might even want to make moves thinking on the long term, such as keep customers happy and excited, or invest in new technologies like proton. Compared to netflix execs, who don’t care about the long term, they care about next quarter.

I don’t know a lot about the stock market, but it looks stupid to me to bet on infinite growth. If the company earns money, and I own shares, shouldn’t I earn money via dividends? It looks to me like the only way to make money is to buy low and sell high? Or is that just greed?

I’d just like to interject for a moment.

Does tidal still have lossless? I remember they were replacing all lossless flac with their qma mqa stuff, which isn’t lossless, and requires you to buy specialized hardware. That was the main reason I chose deezer instead of tidal.

I use jellyfin a lot for anime, no plugins. I just label all my folders like kaguya_sama_[tmdbid-12345].

As long as the The Movie DB id is there, aboslutely no problems indexing.

Just to provide counter examples, in arch I can’t use the native steam package and play games with proton. It just doesn’t work. I think proton expects some ubuntu libraries or something (found something like that while spending 5 hours debugging nfs heat). And even if I manage to fix it, next time I update the system it’ll be broken again.

I use flatpak, and everything just works.

However, in arch if something is in the official repo or the AUR i prefer those.

In ubuntu I installed krita and gmic, but it doesn’t work. For some reason krita doesn’t find the gmic executable. Instead of debugging krita and gmic for hours I just installed the flatpak version, and it just works.

And yeah, app startup went from 5 to 7-10 seconds in krita, and from 1 to 2-3 seconds in firefox. It’s not snap, it’s 2023, we have SSDs.

At least it’s not a giant macro

Deezer+Deemix -> Jellyfin -> Symfonium
