I appreciate this recommendation. I’ve been trying it out for like 5 minutes and I’m very impressed! This could be life-changing and lead to me axing Spotify. Thank you kind stranger!

Thousands…? Lol probably 3

You can also choose a one time fee with plex

There are other options if you want something entirely free. I’m actually surprised that feature was ever free.

I tried jellyfin and thought Plex was better in all aspects personally. Yeah, it sucks to lose free features, then again no one is owed fully free software from a commercial company

But they develop the software and need to fund that regardless of technical reasons.

Yeah, they’re just bitching. Pretty funny imo

Ditto to all of this, except I don’t know anything about plexamp

No but the fact that software is reasonable to charge for does.

Same. People want literally unlimited shit for free

Every time one of these gets posted I say “wait what? That was free before??”

This is the kind of feature I think is reasonable to charge for. As were the others people were complaining about. Plex lifetime pass is a one time fee.

Thank you! This is awesome:

Get and set fingerprint LED brightness (–fp-brightness, --fp-led-level)

Came here to say this. I really like mine.

Do you have a distro that only you use? 🤯

I love this comment

Thanks! Yeah, for me it’s that I have a bad memory so memorizing argument orders and things like that felt painful. Scripting is the solution! And you learn while you do it. It’s actually kind of fun to make a solid script that works between various OSes as nerdy as that is. I’ve taken a lot of typing and memorization and turned it into writing (ideally solid) software that allows me to type 1-3 words instead of 20 words. It’s satisfying. And you’re right, it’s something people won’t get until they come to it on their own terms.

At work I routinely do laborious tasks the rest of my team procrastinates due to how repetitive and annoying it is. And often it’s with a command or two. It feels quite powerful. And it’s so flexible how you can combine languages and tools! It’s also just interesting to be reminded how all the basic problems were solved by the 1970s when a lot of these tools were created.

I used to be on the yelling guys side and boy was I wrong. I now write scripts to do anything repetitive, all the time and it’s great. I have a whole library of them I use and add to and improve all the time.

Yeah, I was wrong.

I don’t understand this post. OP mad the free support not up to their standards?

If you hate Linux why are you spreading negativity about it in a Linux community?
