Thanks! I appreciate it. I actually do still use it, my comment was just more toward the changes they’ve made and my perceived inability to remove or change it.

The ‘Plex suggestions’, the constant return of rental prices when doing a search instead of just my media library. I had to remove a bunch of menu items they automatically added without my cosent during their last major update which seems to be when it all started. The search bit is especially angering because it’s lagging load times as it’s searching these online sources for rentals I don’t want instead of just pulling up the returns on my local media server. If there’s a setting disabling it I must have missed it because when they introduced the garbage I immediately scoured the settings to try and turn it off. Those are the main two off the top of my head.

Honestly ever since Plex started going the enshittification route and hocking their fucking bullshit instead of just being a home server it’s been irritating the shit out of me. The only thing they aren’t doing at this point is adverts live vids.

This is literally me this week. Came in Monday to folks having knee jerk panic reactions then are unreachable to properly diagnose or, heaven forbid, fix the issue. Was definitely important enough to wreck my Monday though.

Bro thank you from the bottom of my heart for the type up. I’ve been contemplating this for months and this very may well be the final tipping point for me to make the plunge. I’m in pretty much the same boat, tech savvy but don’t want to deal with shit I dont have to which has been my main reason for not diving in yet. I’ve thought of doing exactly what you described as I do love a little challenge, which I get contradicts what I just typed. Anyway, yeah, thanks again for the post! Will be doing my own switch here in the near future.

People bitch about the existence of Project Managers (I have myself) but then you see shit like this. Breaks in communication and one side needing the ability to express to the other. Some devs can bridge it, some can’t.

Pretty much course of events for me as well haha

Gotcha. Thanks for the type up man! Rock on!

Oh I was saying the opposite: what’s the third party software you’re using on Windows? I thought originally you were stating you were using third party on Linux.

I completely agree. My game go to for this is Tarkov. Audio is so crucial in that game and I could not name the amount of times I could place exactly where someone was approaching from. Can’t say the same since I switched to the Steelseries. This convo is making me want to go buy another Sennheiser lmfao.

To add to this: I currently have the Arctis Pro pictured and while the battery swap system is great, that’s the only thing I see going for it. From an audio quality perspective Sennheiser blows it out of the water. Honestly wish I had gotten another one instead of going Steelseries. Especially for the pricetag they’re charging. Audio quality bass-wise is just not there.

Are you specifically talking about Linux? Because I’d loooooove to run mine with third party. Hate Steelseries’ bloatware equalizer. Currently Windows.

This is so low effort / non comical it should be a shitpost.

Very toxic, and very hostile if you do stupid, dumb corpo bullshit. Fuck this guy.

Hence why I said ‘I dream of a day’.

I dream of a day where this series actually gets a remake or full hd remaster. The game was so open ended and you really felt accomplished in everything you did in the game. Whether training your pet, taking over villages, etc. For me the game was the first of its kind where your actions actively showed so it was really awesome to see your hand becoming more glowey or scarred. Same with your pet. Then there was your conscious guys good/evil which were a riot as well. Overall just a great game. Good memories.

Kinda glad I steered away from it. Dead Space is literally my favorite game and I held off on Callisto. Seems like I dodged a bullet by what I read just on the Steam reviews.

Wow, blast from the past. This is DOOM era, right? Last time I played this was in HS and it was considered old back then 20+ years ago

Yup this is exactly what I was going to post. Was in the industry for 10 years and call me pessimistic but the second they told me they’d already rebooted I’d check uptime.

I have experience with our PM and BAs throwing draft stories in mid sprint that required PO follow up. So basically a complete waste of time.
