  • Simplest Path to Jellyfin Access for the Developmentally Disabled

    Jump

  • Roku has a Jellyfin app.

    Roku device locked down with parental controls + Jellyfin app connected to your server + a non-admin Jellyfin user account so they can't click all the buttons.

    The Roku aoo isn't great for my use because it's stripped down. Maybe a benefit in your case.

  • Would you ever play Russian Roulette? 80% effective means one bullet in a five-chamber revolver, spin, and pull the trigger.

    Medical advice is also to not rely only on condoms.

    You do you.

  • Anecdote versus data.

    You are one person with an anecdote, the medical advice is based on data from thousands of people.

    The pull-out method is about 80% effective. About one in five people who rely on the pull-out method for birth control become pregnant.

  • Lemmings who still don't want to use AI, why?

    Jump

  • Isn't RMLS just one company of many related to AI cyber security? Or does the acronym soup of the tech industry have some other meaning for it.

    And CoT, as in the "prompt engineering" technique? How does that at all counter their position?

    Please converse instead of vomiting letters and negging.

  • I use it once in a blue moon and every time think it wasn't really worth my time.

    For creative pursuits, it defeats the purpose of why I'm doing the activity.

    For factual pursuits at work, I need to 100% back my answer. Like put my signature to it, testify on a witness stand confident. When I make assumptions in my logic, I need to be able to identify and clearly articulate them. And LLMs are only as good as "highly probable" by their nature.

  • Questions that are more appropriate as websearches. No need to ask here to learn the capital city of Lithuania or the law on jaywalking in OP's home town.

    I usually tag the users most blatantly guilty of that as "LMGTFY" and move on.

    (LMGTFY = let me google that for you, a phrase but also a link generator one could send someone that opens to a recording of their question being typed into google search and then providing them with results)

  • What have you looked up on Wikipedia recently?

    Jump

  • The article on Tadeusz Kościuszko, Polish military genius and aid to Washington and the colonialists during the American Revolutionary War. He was in with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson too. Among many other things, he designed the fortifications around West Point.

    He also led the "Kościuszko Uprising" against the Russian occupation of Poland.

    My favorite anecdote from the article is that he was all about human rights. He willed a portion of his estate to freeing enslaved black people, including Thomas Jefferson's slaves specifically. Everyone charged with executing his will balked at that one though, the money ended up going to education for black people instead. Still, what a way to get a final mic drop against a colleague from beyond the grave.

  • When you were a kid/teen, how often do you have conversations with your parents? What is your relationship like now? And do you think there is a correlation?

    Jump

  • They talked at me a lot. Back and forth conversation was not really a thing between parents and kids when I was growing up.

    We don't converse much today either but its more because I find their religious and political views repulsive.

  • I side-eye vocal fans of UFC like I do owners of pit bulls. I see a strong correlation between UFC fans and assholes with warped machismo. Many are delightful, but there's an overrepresentation of not-delightful and potentially dangerous with no regard for other people. My guard is up until I know which a person is.

    My 97-year-old great-grandma once said, “In my youth, being a mistress was more advantageous than being a wife for a woman.” How factual do you think this statement is for that time period?

  • Where would you live if money and/or visa requirements weren't an issue?

    Jump

  • I'd give New Zealand a go. I lived in Australia for a while and liked it for the most part but what I heard of NZ made me think I'd like it even better.

  • With comparison comes misery. Do you agree?

    Jump

  • Nope. I compare my squat form to some peeps on the Internet to identify areas I can improve. I compare how I feel in a romantic relationship to how my friend does, a friend I admire and think has a really healthy approach to relationships, to learn from her. I compare my dress and behavior to colleagues at work to make sure I'm in the realm of matching professionalism. Comparison is not by default bad in all contexts.

  • With comparison comes misery. Do you agree?

    Jump

  • Nope, I like a good A/B comparison. I recently compared two whiskeys from a distillery; one their regular release and one aged in sherry casks. The side by side comparison made it easier to pick out the difference between the two. The comparison makes whiskey tasting all the more enjoyable.

    I love a good A/B comparison on just about any food or drink.

    Is it okay for a 28 year old to date a 22 year old or a 29 year old to date a 23 year old?

  • I don't have a user tag for you either.

    I only tag people as a reminder to myself not to engage with them. So congrats, this random Internet stranger is not intentionally avoiding you!

  • How often do you clean your cooking oil sprayer or bottle?

    Jump

  • Whenever I need to refill it, which happens more often than the shelf life (3-6 months for olive oil once opened).

  • TIL that the USA has an application form that's 136 pages long to be filled by people applying for positions that involves national security.

    Jump

  • IDK if this is the same form someone in a private industry engineering job would fill out, but I assume it's at least similar. Having clearance is highly desirable to some; it opens access to projects that others can't work, meaning more leverage to get better pay.

    And an inability to fill out a couple hundred pages of paperwork means a person probably isn't suited for the slow, documentation filled slog that is engineering on those sorts of projects anyways.

    Personally, I don't want to work on those sorts of projects so I don't pursue clearance and accept it will narrow my job opportunities some.

  • Americans, what do typically have for breakfast?

    Jump

  • Glass of water and a cup of coffee. I don't usually eat food until 1 or 2 in the afternoon.
