jlow , 3 months ago to Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System in why are some movies not sorted properly by time?

Super hard to tell without further info / screenshots. So they're sorted by release(?) and those are correct in the metadata but it still sorts them wrong?

Ok, yeah, but I still think that totally misses the point. At least for me even fully functional AI will still be a desaster and would be used for the most heinous stuff, eroding democracy worldwide even more and it obviously changes nothing of the social-media-silo capitalist hellscape most people live in comfortably (or less comfortably if it gives you eating disorders, depression and stuff).

Oh wow, what a nightmare. So lucky she has you, I'm always a little sad thinking how awful it must (and apparently is) be for people who don't have resident nerd doing this kind of stuff for them.

Good luck!

Liked the article but the end was kind of a letdown for me. If capitalism-driven AI is ruining the web even further why would demanding that AI is better today already and not in the future help with any of the problems this article has described?

For me the solution is obvioisly rejecting corpo-spam social-networks and going back to the selfmade small-internet, the fediverse etc. Sure that's not a solution for humanity as a whole but neither is demanding better AI now.

Are have I completely misunderstood something?

Another hint are the people in typical French Haute Couture.

Lol and here I was being naive and precious thinking it would be because it some (probably made-up) health-concerns, when they're all just puppets of the meat-industry. Scary.

Yeah, you can export multiple-page PDFs and https://floss.social/@doctormo is working on revamping how it's handling colour so we will eventually get propper CMYK support and other cool stuff

Been using Osmand as my only source for navigation for years and years, it's not perfect but far better for me than what you're experiencing ...

Yeah, there are some nice articles from the BBC on this, including one with the person playing that masked-character. The dialogue/story for actresses/actors was apparently LLM-gibberish as well.

Argh, I wanted to say it's not a very good name for that. I did not really understand what that's supposed to mean (English is not my first language) but now I think it might be those books you can flip through very fast and it'll be a very simple animation? That would make sense.

Oh, that's cool (but trick play is not a very good for that, wth).

Yeah, fair, but depending on where you are you're already in illegal territory if you're circumventing DRM on the discs (e. g. Germany, I think).

(And how likely is it that I 1. get busted for pirating when not torrenting/downloading and 2. will make the copyright trolls believe me that I actually legally bought this movie at a charity shop five years ago? Has that ever hapenend?)
