this isnt a problem, this is a feature.

yeah but its 39% bots talkin at eachother

no, they dont.

most people do not get to go into work and say ‘im not using windows, sir’ because the business has long since bent over for microsofts services

your comment reminds me of people complaing about people living in war torn countries ‘well they can just move!’

nonsense

you seem to think people have a choice. crazy

they like to pretend they have account portability, but the truth is they own the only router enabling that feature. good luck people

saw this comin a mile away. does it count as federation if you only federate with yourself?

amazing right

ahhh, this is the line i was referring to… maybe i misunderstood

my work for the community has been purely volunteer for more than a year now (and less than half of it had been payable before that).

thats a lot of words for contributing for a single year, only half of which was ‘volunteer’

i had to access a snowflake account the other day, it had 2 mfa challenges… one from the idp via sso, and then the local snowflake one.

100k is a single fte! peanuts!

hahahahahah does anyone really think microsoft cares? their money is in business with all the big players already deploying 11 at least in modest amounts.

nothing stopped them when windows7 was still functional and they were pushing the tpm requirement, i dont see a difference here.

and behold all of the terrible consequences!

you seem to already have apps that do that stuff you want… i was more answering ‘how to make kodi work’

i do zero work for kodi. i curate a library i care about and that is not your end goal. kodi is definitely not for the ‘watch and delete’ crowd.

i cant even imagine wanting a mess of stuff as you describe, or expecting some media app to manage that mess on the fly. but hey, if thats how you want it. good luck.

ive got 2500 movies and > 35,000 episodes in my library.

kodi is best as a front-end for an already curated library. ive used it extensively since the xbmc days…

i use mediaelch to scrape, generate metadata files and rename files and folders into a standard way. it [can] generate things in a kodi-compatible format. kodi is set to just pull in that data. i concurrently use emby (jellyfin) to access that same metadata.

your problem is conflating the curation of your library with the applications that will use it.

kodi does need a full computer to run. thats where emby comes in. its for viewing the same shit on any other device

your premise seems invalid on its face. i would argue that google did not, actually, kill xmpp. that protocol is still in use today, its just not popular.

again, the biggest problem the fediverse has is just threads having a better product on the same, open protocol. eee? ha, whatever
