It’s like they looked at Wizards of the Coast’s fuck-up with the D&D license and decided to copy it. What the hell?

For Android, the ReadEra app, because it’s the only darn ebook app I could find that allows a scrolling mode instead of page flip. And you can add the Twilight app also to change screen temp, and extra dim mode in the dark. It works really well.
For e-ink ereaders, I don’t know what the best one is right now. Definitely not Kindle though. And Kobo has overdrive library integration. But e-ink in general is very nice for reading. Definitely go for 8 inches or more in screen size though if you want to read manga. Also physical page turn buttons are really nice.
So for people who have the same obvious question as I did, Jellyfin appears to be software for self-hosting your own streaming service, so you can stream video or music or etc from your own computer to your other devices. Or so I gather from their main page.
I’m a bit baffled - I love the active sort so far. Sure, it’s different from reddit, but in a good way. It means the exact timing of a post, to line up perfectly with the peak active hours of U.S. users, or similar, isn’t critical anymore, because a post can go relatively ignored for a day or two and then get picked up and filled with comments and discussion.
It gives people more time to get around to reading a long linked article or watching a linked long video first, before commenting, too, while still leaving them able to participate in discussion after.
It means that people who comment “late” still get replies. Commenting even slightly late on reddit and not getting any replies or votes felt awful, like you were talking to a wall. And the people who sorted by new and commented first tended to stick to the top of threads because they accumulated more upvotes by sheer force of time.
I hope we can avoid re-creating the constant, over-hurried content-churn of reddit, and keep this more patient feel.
That said, I’ll concede that active search is best for discussion posts, like on Chat or Gaming (e.g. threads that ask people to share favorite xyz games and so on), or those based around longread articles, and not necessarily as good for Breaking News. But even then… I think it does us good to allow time to discuss news posts, too, and active search does that.
Tldr I use active search as default for everything and I absolutely love it like this, please don’t get rid of it just to make the site more like reddit.
A lot of people in rural areas find themselves in situations like being 10 minutes from a walmart and an hour from any other option. So then anything besides walmart costs gas and time, on top of the product cost difference to begin with.
Nobody wants to drive extra after 8 hours of shitty minimum wage work and/or taking care of children.
Not like other grocery stores are any good for workers, either.
