And don’t get me started on legacy spells. That Merlin guy was so chaotic 😮‍💨

I have absolutely no experience with Jellyfin, what does the Kodi plugin do?

Or do you mean you have the Jellyfin addon installed in Kodi, so you can accsess Jellyfin from within Kodi?

Right. Personally I don’t stream and only access my library from my TV at home. So Kodi is all I need for now. Though I’d like to try Jellyfin one day when I don’t have so much other stuff to do. I actually don’t know what exactly I’m missing out on.

I let Radarr and Sonarr handle that (including creating NFO metadata and fanart files), Kodi now only parses/syncs that local data.

This change was a huge improvement for me, though I am using SMB and not NFS. (But I assume NFS would be more robust than SMB.)

Me eating 🍿 and reading the comments of Plex users arguing with Jellyfin users, while myself being a user of Kodi which has it’s own problems…

Reading this comment made me hope it was that one guy, and it is!

Embedded SW dev here; don’t listen to this, fly you fools!

Haha right, as if GTA:SA is that old xD

Oh my god

Learned something new about my city, thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

Now I’m just imagining a Scotsman pronouncing it and really rolling that R 😂

it’s only 8:43 pm

Dude, just go to sleep.

I have no experience with Element, as far as I can tell it’s a client for Matrix, which is not directly connected to Lemmy.

What I found was this post. Apparently lemmy.world has Matrix support in addition to Lemmy itself.

This can be a bit confusing since both apparently use “lemmy.world”, but I don’t think Lemmy and Matrix are connected directly (as in synced). And that’s why you can find lemmy.world with Element, but can’t see Lemmy stuff with your Matrix login.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

I try to explain this in a structured way, so that you hopefully don’t feel too overwhelmed. Feel free to ask if something doesn’t make sense.

Lemmy

Lemmy is like e-Mail, there are multiple websites where you can make an account, but you can still communicate/participate with users from other sites. (This is called decentralisation.)

Instance

An instance is a website that you use for logging in to Lemmy. You only need an account on one website to participate (e.g. writing posts/comments) in Lemmy.

So, since you already have an account, that means you already have chosen an instance, it’s lemmy.world.

Community

Like users, communities can be created on different instances. There can even be a community with the same name on two different instances.

For example:

• lemmy.world/c/Autism
• lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/Autism

These communities can still be accessed on your instance, they are all synced. (With some exceptions which I’m not going into right now.)

How to participate in communities of your instance

1. Go to your instance (lemmy.world)
2. Log in
3. Go to the community you want to participate in (lemmy.world/c/Autism)
4. You don’t need to “join” a community, but you can subscribe, so that new posts show up in your feed

How to participate in other instances

1. Go to your instance (lemmy.world)
2. Log in
3. Go to the community you want to participate in but add the instance to the back like this: lemmy.world/c/autism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
4. You don’t need to “join” a community, but you can subscribe, so that new posts show up in your feed

So in summary it’s the same Aso for communities of your instance, just make sure to always start/login on your instance.

Direct links

Since constructing the URL like described above is quite annoying, Lemmy can use special links that work across all instances. They are as follows:

• !autism@lemmy.world
• !Autism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Apps

There exist many Lemmy apps. They can facilitate things (especially when you want to browse on your phone), but this also means that the look&feel is different. Some step by step guides might not work exactly the same on different apps.

At work we always put an issue number (together with a short summary text) in the commit message. The the verbose explenation is done in the issue, where formatting, search and filtering is easier. However this creates a dependency to that issue system.

I have floor heating, and have set it to very low (almost off). It’s freezing outside, but in here I can walk around in t-shirt and barefoot. The floor does not feel warm, it just doesn’t feel really cold.

Maybe that’s the the same case for your apartment. Though I don’t know why there would also be radiators in the living room and bathroom. Maybe the heat from below is just warm enough to have the same effect.

Yo dawg, I heard you like try-catch blocks

I only chose this career path because I heard there were a lot of hugs. 🥲

I was a bit confused by “Revenue derived from Google”, so I checked the source that is cited for 2022 in that Wikipedia article. But I couldn’t find the term “Google” or “Alphabet” at all. It only states that approximately 81% comes from “one customer” (Page 16).

So I checked further. The report lists the total revenue as 593,516,000 $, of which 510,389,000 $ comes from royalties (Page 4).

Further down, royalties are defined (Page 13):

Royalties - Mozilla provides the Firefox web browser, which is a free and open-source web browser initially developed by Mozilla Foundation and the Corporation.Mozilla incorporates search engines of its customers as a default status or an optional status available in the Firefox web browser. Mozilla generally receives royalties at a certain percentage of revenues earned by its customers through their search engines incorporated in the Firefox web browser.

So 81% (ca. 413,415,000 $*) of these royalties, 70% of all revenue, comes from one of these default search engines:

• Google
• Amazon
• Bing
• DuckDuckGo
• eBay
• Wikipedia

* I think the value on Wikipedia is wrong. There 81% of total revenue is used where it should be 81% of the royalities.

In conclusion

Mozilla earns a percentage of the revenue that is generated by the default search engines. 81% of these royalties (or 70% of Mozilla’s total revenue) comes from “one customer”. Wether this is Google, Amazon or an other one can only be assumed.

Any suggestions for corrections?
