The only problem with RSS is that it doesn’t work for many many news sources as well as niche interests.

The RSS feeds on most of my country’s news sources are literally a headline with a link to their website. Plus the ones that it does work for break multiple times per year (at least on feeder) so being able to actually fetch the article is a toss up. Right now even with freshly added feeds, 9 out of 10 are “cannot fetch full article”.

I find most people’s blogs rather boring and uninspired or extremely longwinded. I much prefer the kind of organic conversations from forums. Algorithms point me to the 4-5 pieces of content from people that I find interesting. I don’t often subscribe to them because their other content is not as interesting.

With RSS feeds I would have to manually search through hundreds of articles and blog posts just to find 3 that I might actually be interested in. For example the less niche Phoronix has like 20 articles per day that are essentially fluff article padding updates like “video acceleration improvements merged for Mesa 25”. Like I don’t care at all. But the LACT Intel support addition I would be interested in 10 articles down.

It will die when there is an alternative app that competes with marketplace. That + messenger keep most people there. Signal (or whatsapp which while meta, isn’t tied to fb account)'already can replace messenger.

That is simply the truth. Here is Belgium we have an app called 2dehands which is very prolific and have a way better interface and experience than marketplace (even though it is nowhere near perfect or great).

Marketplace is definitely completely secondary to 2dehands in the Flemish part. Brussels still uses marketplace a lot, but literally all marketplace needs in order to slowly die off is competition but the 2nd hand market is not a lucrative app space with no real funding opportunities outside of data sale so nobody does it.

Yeah I played it halfway and it didn’t grip me like New Vegas and KOTOR2 did. The story just seemed pretty convoluted and meandering.

Gameplay was about as fun as NV though!

Opensuse unironically has some of the best OS branding and wallpapers. I like that little chameleon.

I use bazzite now but I liked all of the visuals of opensuse Kalpa better!

In the *arr suite, bazarr has a plugin called Subgen which you can add and you can set it to generate subtitles on your entire library if you want, or only missing subtitles. The sync is spot on compared to 90% of what Opensubtitles delivers. I sometimes re-gen them with this plugin just because opensubtitles is so constantly out of sync (e.g. highly rated subtitles 4 lines will be at breakneck pace and the next 10 will be super slow and then everything is 3 seconds off)

It isn’t in-player but it works. The downside is it is a larger model and takes ~20 minutes to generate a movie length of subtitles.
