Last time I used it (been a while though) it was free, if you only transferred playlists up to 200 songs

Was raised roman-catholic but got disillusioned pretty quickly. I was fairly religious in elementary school but by the time I was 14, I was agnostic/atheist.

Partially because my parents aren’t religious (my mum is from the GDR, so she didn’t grow up with religion and my dad seceded from church before I was even born) and even my grandma, who was the religious one (albeit never very strongly, compared to American catholics. More a „goes to church on religious holidays“ type of person), drifted away from church quite a bit after all the child-rapist priest shit that was uncovered at the time.

By now (mid 20s) I’d probably consider myself agnostic. Can’t prove there is no higher power but also, if there is, we wouldn’t know what religion – if any – is right anyways. It’s probably not christianity though.

Same here. Couldn’t use Apollo anymore so I downloaded Voyager instead.

Yea, the renault twingo of my ex-fwb felt borderline dangerous above 130kph while in my workplace’s Mercedes B-Class, my comfortable cruising speed is roughly 160kph with 200kph still feeling perfectly in control.

I hope that’s Fahrenheit…

What solutions? Especially what solutions that don’t cost me money and are not overly difficult to implement?

Well, I do want to actually use it though and have my friends be able to use it just as well.

That’s only local (unless you‘ve set up your pihole to be accessed from outside your home network already). Locally you can easily access jellyfin from any device

For remote access to Jellyfin you will need your public ipv4 address or a domain that points to it. Since in most cases your public ip isn’t static (unless you specifically pay for that), you’ll need a dynamic DNS address that regularly updates the ip address your domain points to. In case of duckdns you’d have a url like example.duckdns.org that always points to your ip.

If you are unlucky however and only have a public ipv6 address (Dual Stack Lite; highly depends on where you live and what provider you have). I haven’t found an easy free solution to still getting remote access. The easiest I’ve found is getting a domain from cloudflare and using their tunnel. Worked well and I happened to have a domain already. Streaming media via Cloudflare’s tunnel is technically against their tos though.

There are probably more elegant solutions but I have switched to a different provider since, which does offer an ipv4 address so I didn’t need to look into that any more.

Not without additional configuration. You’ll need to forward jellyfins port in your router and get a dynamic DNS address. That’s not hard to setup though and there are good free dyndns providers like duckdns.

I don’t like him. He’s angry at everything and his videos are a chore to watch. I also feel like he’s sometimes a bit out of touch (I don’t like ads or paying for digital content either, but if no one pays for it, it‘ll stop existing) and a bit pessimistic (yes, companies aren’t your friends, but not everything you perceive as negative is done out of malice, sometimes people are just not thinking stuff through).

However, I do appreciate him as a right to repair activist.

It’s sad that those people make discourse over actual criticism so hard.

Rey is a wonderful example here. Your acquaintance dislikes Rey because she’s a woman. I (and a bunch of other people) dislike Rey because she’s terribly written. If you exchanged her for a man he would still be terribly written. But of course, that legitimate criticism is often lumped in with people crying „woke“ at the sight of a female protagonist.

Or, if you wanna sound intellectual: „Das tangiert mich peripher.“

Age of consent in Germany is 14, if the partner is 21 or younger. Otherwise the age of consent is 16.

I think the argument still is, that those aren’t „real“ Nokias. At the very least they’re not the same Nokia that built the 3310, as that Nokia isn’t in the consumer electronics market anymore.

For ebooks in particular, owning what you buy isn’t that difficult though. You can legally buy DRM protected epubs in a lot of online book stores and then use the software calibre (open source) to strip the DRM. Much easier than with music, movies or software.

I‘d recommend the software calibre. Great for managing your ebook library and it can convert epub into amazons azw, mobi or kfx formats (depending on which generation kindle you have). With the right plugin you can even create WordWise data for your kindle-converted ebooks.

You don’t even necessarily need to illegally download the books, as calibre can also handle the DRM of .ebub books you bought from almost any store. Of course, sailing the seven seas is still always an option though.

My point is though, that the vast majority of android users also wouldn’t ever sideload an app. It doesn’t matter to the average user if there’s a door in the wall, if there’s exactly zero reason to go through. Because most people don’t have some obsolete device they need a third party app for. Most people don’t even use a custom launcher.

I‘m not saying no one needs sideloading, nor that it shouldn’t be an option. I‘m very glad the EU forced Apple to allow third party stores. All I’m saying is, that doesn’t matter to the vast majority of users.

Look at it like that: The average person does not need a pickup truck. They usually only carry people or some groceries. A hatchback would suffice, a sedan or wagon would be comfortable. If you gave them a pickup truck, they wouldn’t use the bed ever because they don’t have a need for it. That doesn’t mean no one needs it and that some people who don’t need it still want it, juuust in case. But the average user just doesn’t care because they don’t need to care. And should the day arise where they need a pickup truck, they‘ll get one.

Sure. I wouldn’t buy shoes that need an app in the first place though. I think that’s more of a joke.

Again, when there comes a point where I need to exit the box, I will. I just don’t have to because I’m not buying shoes that require an app to function.

Carrier phones aren’t really a thing here in Germany. You usually just get the exact same as retail. I believe the problem is just with some brands more than others and probably also price point.
