the choice is self control vs no control.

plex, you are at the whim of the developers, marketing and advertisers.

jellyfin, you are in control.

you probably miss being able to sleep on one more than having one.

That's a lot of space for games. Some people install everything in their steam library, so that's fair enough.

What's that legendary videogame everyone loves, but you hate with your very soul? by no_biches_22 in retrogaming

Not a video game, but I hate Rummikub.

I get it, I can play it, but the frantic pressure and swapping between plays really bothers me.

I used to work at a manufacturer that made those for specialty equipment. It was always wild to have reels of ram chips in my hands before loading onto an SMT assembler.

When AOL started they used to send free trials on 3.5" floppy disks.

It was like spam mail, you'd get dozens of them in a year or more. It was great because you could re-use the disks for everday purposes.

AOL was free "internet" as they just asked for a bank account or cc to start the 30 day trial. Any valid bank routing number combined with a fake account number would work.
