Apparently windows doesn’t like it, but it can be done using Rufus or WinToUSB.

Should be. A USB drive is a storage device like any other. Shouldn’t matter that it isn’t connected via SATA or NVME.

That’s nice.

Even for the rest of us, I think it’s just good for a person to experience other versions of “me”.

I’m a white dude, but games can give me hints about what’s it like to be someone else, and it doesn’t have to match my reality in any way whatsoever. Even more than books, games immerse me into the perspectives of others.

Wine can’t properly access USB devices, so even if you got iTunes installed, it wouldn’t work.

I’m sceptical that a VM is out of the question, one should run on almost anything, though not necessarily perform well. I would give it an attempt, if you didn’t already.

Still, it might be simplest to set up a windows install with itunes on a usb, or second partition, and boot into windows only when you need to.

Websites don’t typically use the device location services.

I’m assuming that if you open up google maps, the GPS triangulated location shown there is correct?

Websites will determine where you are, typically, based of IP, but this is not always reliable. And especially on cellular, your IP will change every now and then.

Oh that’s new for me. I’ve been using alternativeto.com

Communities cannot be fully “deleted”.

They can only be “deleted” in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you’d have to be unassigned as a mod. I don’t think that’s possible if you’re the only mod in a community.

Stalk active users and see where they post.

Oh. Ok.

Razira is one those that’s even cuter when mad.

I’m mostly hyped to find something that can sync media to local storage on something like a laptop, without it just being a bunch of files in a folder you play in vlc.

It also runs in a browser. I’m testing replacing the default webUI with it.

Once it’s on the app store, it’ll basically be available on everything. The same UI everywhere, but with features like offline media, unlike the default webUI.

Just found Fladder, too. It’s even better, imo.

Works on desktop operating systems, even.

Nextcloud Office (aka Collabora) has been the nicest in my experience.

I came from google drive. I did a google takeout of my drive contents, dumped it into nextcloud, and every document so far has opened without trouble.

Cross-platform, too! Neat.

Now I have a new client to recommend to my dad. Findroid is android only. (As the name suggests)

If you want a jellyfin app that actually manages the downloads, letting you both watch and delete the downloads in the same app, try Findroid.

Like already explained, the web-app based clients just download the media files. You can obviously watch them using any media player that way, and delete the files when you’re done, but it makes things a bit clunky.

For music, there’s Finamp (FOSS) and Symfonium (Paid, but really good, and with active dev).

I love fighting games.

But holy fuck is the monetization some of the most outrageous I’ve seen.

It wasn’t like they were gonna go “oh sorry, our bad, have your game back”.

I wonder what’ll come next.

I kind of hope Deadlock will usher in an age of FPS/TPS moba-style arena shooters. But I also kinda don’t.

Damn. It really runs that much of it server-side?

Either of those are only options for someone who runs an instance.

I agree running things the other way around would be better, but monitoring about a dozen communities, I get away with a call every 5 minutes, and it almost never needs to load a second page. That is not significant afaik.

How would it miss stuff? You’d always use “new” sort and load pages until you run into content from the last update. Stuff from the last page appearing again because new content moved the content along, shouldn’t stop you from loading another page, and any new content will be caught in the next update.

Now, I’m not familiar with Path of Exile, but isn’t the game PvE?

The connection shouldn’t matter, unless you’re playing co-op.
