Why is this repeated over and over on Lemmy? It is nonsense.
There is a button. You don’t need the terminal any more or less than any other OS. Yes people give advice with commands. They are not magic nor arcane, but it is so much easier to tell you to do a command than 20 pages of diagrams and drawings on how to use the gui to do the same thing.
Oh I do have kids. They went outside rain or shine to parks most of their lives. I went to a play place once… it was gross. If they needed food we went to a local place that was good for them. It is funny now because my oldest sometimes complains that they never understood fast food or how to order it. Sometimes they tell me I ruined them because all the snack foods taste like crap to them.
Leaning into grifting. Like always. He is just dipping into the Christian side of the grift.
Maybe they should have put the hamburger and fries in the chest.
Not anymore. They changed the prices and discounts by quite a bit.
I run them side by side too. I also have plexpass from ahes ago.
But I actually like the jellyfin ui better. It’s simple, to the point and most importantly fast. Sit. Down click jellyfin click show, go.
Plex just feels laggy and sloppy in comparison.
After I sent that I was worried that would be the answer. I am so sorry your kids can’t just go to a park.
All of that gripe and you still go there instead of a public park?
That makes more sense. Thank you for the context.
Lol what? Linux servers are still dominant in market share.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
There it is again. That term “gatekeeping”. I see it here so damn often, but nobody ever can back up the claim.
You are saying: people are actively trying to make things difficult to use in order to keep people out? Can you give me an example? Has anyone in the fediverse rejected YOUR proposal to improve anything? Pull requests made and denied?
Ever consider that it is not gatekeeping, but the lack of millions of dollars on advertising and venture capital that makes people think anything else is easy to use? Instagram and Facebook are MUCH harder to join and MUCH harder to curate for anything useful, and keep some sanity on your privacy, but nobody complains about them.
Thank you for posting a readable link.
It won’t be. It can’t be. It will have to monetize, then it will have to restrict, and you end up with the same problems Reddit has.
I just recently found out Reddit has achievements. I don’t use their official apps or new desktop so I never saw them. When I see what Reddit looks like to most people it is so bizarre. Like completely different experience.
Thank goodness Lemmy looks and feels the way it should.
I am being disingenuous? You make a very bold claim that people are “gatekeeping” open source software. You then claim that everything in Linux outside of web browsing requires the command line. I am completely serious.
All I am asking you to do is back up those claims.
Either you have a specific gripe that should be addressed, or you are just spreading bullshit online or trolling. Which one is it?
Having to do most real things besides browsing the internet via command line on 2025
What are these “most things”? I haven’t had to use the command line on this laptop I am typing on since I got it a year ago. Files, music, shares, my own cloud storage on s3, photo editing, etc? What are “most things” to you?
And even if it was “most things” you are not showing an example of gatekeeping. Give me an example, such as you submitting a pull request for a GUI for a current command line only “most things” that was rejected.
Can you show me an example of gatekeeping in this space? I am not sure that word means what you think it means.
I mean it is open source, ANYONE can create a different UI and fork the code, which is drastic but an option.
Are you saying you have submitted UI improvements as pull requests to several projects and had them tell you they would not merge due to a desire to keep the UI the way they designed it?
I don’t like Brussel sprouts. Not even after they have been selecting them for sweet not bitter over the last 30 years.
But… It is not really surprising that Salmon and roasted Brussel sprouts go good together. I mean this is not an uncommon pairing is it?
There is no problem. Yes, they pretty much are consistent distro to distro. Desktop to Desktop is a bit different but not by much.
My grandparents have had a much easier time with Linux than Windows. Both environments would be confusing to look up if something goes wrong. Fortunately since linux packages are updated together, not much goes wrong. Cant say that for windows. Stuff is always popping up and asking questions and changing.
