I like Jellyfin, and run it alongside Plex.

But they have a very long way to before they reach feature parity with even just the stuff I use. Let alone everything Plex can do.

I think this year I’m going to try and find an issue or feature I can contribute on. I’d like to end up moving to Jellyfin based on it being good and not Plex being bad.

Of course it depends on your use case, but in my experience Android apps are much worse than what I can get on iOS.

Here are a couple of examples of iOS which have (as far as I can find) nothing on Android that even comes close:

Infuse (https://firecore.com/infuse) - A really nice video play that handles loads of different backends.

NetNewsWire - It's literally one of the examples from the article, but I like RSS and can't find anything as good as NetNewsWire on Android.

Servercat (https://servercat.app) - Just a nice way to monitor servers and run commands. Great for managing my Raspberry pi and other homebrew stuff

Prologue (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/prologue/id1459223267) - An audiobook app that uses Plex as its backend.

Elastic Drums (https://apps.apple.com/app/id817419955) - A great iPad / iPhone drum machine that I use all the time for sketching out ideas.

Smart Comic (https://smartcomicreader.com) - An app for reading my DRM free comics that uses ML to zoom to individual panels in a way that is as good as the official Comixology app.

These are just the apps that I use daily and have no Android peers. Not that no Android apps exist to watch Plex, or read comics. On Android the options are just worse. Usually free, but I'd rather pay for a good app than get a crappy one for free.

I've got loads of complaints about Apple software, but 3rd party software on Apple platforms is really good.

I think money is the big driver. Tapbots is a company that wants to make nice looking software which they sell for money.

On iOS and macOS, this is possible. On Android it’s a lot harder to make money at all, and on Windows the big money is in corporate software where feature spreadsheets trump UX every time.

Obviously there are some nice apps with nice UX on Windows and Android, but devs self sort in a way because it’s no secret that the best place to profit from good UX is iOS.

I especially like to compare with complete solutions like this repo. Because sometimes I'm stuck in a rut and looking in the wrong layer.

Even if I don't end up using their solution reading through an open source project is, for me, a great way to think about the problem without all the pre-conceived notions I have regarding my existing code base.

It's quite possible for children to have parents reading to them often and more than an hour a day of screen time.

I wonder if this is the case? I think you're quite right about the fact that it's more likely the time with parents than the screentime. But I don't think there will ever really be a chance to study kids whose time with parents and time with screens differs.

My kids are pretty young, but because they're in bed so early there just isn't enough time in the day for them to have dinner, a story and even an hour of TV after pre-school. I suspect that's the case for most kids of two working parents.

That pricing isn't too bad. They come with decent SSD storage too, which is key for the large datasets that make a GPU instance worthwhile.

Linode skews more towards smaller scale customers with many of their offerings so I think the GPUs here make sense. The real test will be how often they upgrade them and what they upgrade them too.

I'm glad you brought up Docker, but I think this is a move against GitLab, more than it is against NPM or Docker.

Lots of us use GitLab at work because it's such a complete product. Source code, container registry, CI/CD, Issues (via GitLab or Jira), Maven repository, NPM repository, etc. etc.

Microsoft is trying to build out GitHub so that they can more effectively compete for GitLab's corporate customers. Since buying GitHub they've added many of GitLab's key features to GitHub and these are some of the biggest adds so far.

You might be right that this hurts NPM and Docker, but I think it'll hurt GitLab more.

I am with you on this one. I use GitHub to share code, and participate in projects. I use my own GitBucket instance for anything purely personal that I don't want to lose, but don't want to make nice or document and then at work we use GitLab.

I'm all in on git in a way that I might not have been without GitHub making it so huge. Without GitHub, we'd probably all be using git at home but SVN at the office.

Give it a shot and report back to us.

An anti spam feature should not links typed by real humans on purpose. Lots of popular links are shared on twitter and don't get blocked via anti spam. This seems like something deliberate, even if the global part of the impact is a deployment error.

I'd be okay with ICANN favouring the people from a place in any of these cases. The idea that American Airlines could own .america or that FC Barcelona could own .barcelona is much weirder than Apple owning .apple or something like that.

In a high traffic area, you'd just use bridges and tunnels. Level crossings in central Europe are usually only on minor roads in smaller towns.

It's not that you're exploiting the web server once you're in, it's that a 30 year old web server is the security hole you use to get in.

This option has to be explicitly turned on. It's off by default (at least it was on my German Pixel 2).

This seems like a pretty sensible decision though, since most cryptos don't really work like a currency they work more like an investment. Especially now that the transaction fees are so high, and the transaction processing time takes so much longer than debit cards, credit cards, paypal or other electronic transfers.
