@roadriverrail 😆

I can point you to a wonderful Jellyfin Roku client 🤘

https://github.com/1hitsong/viv/

@roadriverrail I don't speak for the rest of the Jellyfin team, but for me personally, I find the idea that we are in competition with other media servers or streaming services awkward/funny at a surface level and disingenuous/manipulative at a deeper level.

I do not work on Jellyfin because I want to "beat" Netflix. I do not work on Jellyfin because I want to "beat" Plex.

Those are nonsense.

I work on Jellyfin because I use it. I want it to be the best it can be. I also want it to do things it doesn't currently do.

I work on it because I find it fun.

And that's it. The day I stop having fun is the day I quit working on it.

I could not care any less about anyone's perceived competitors, user count goals, revenue goals, etc. Those are nothing but manipulation tools people use try to leverage FOSS programmers into working on what they want them to work on.

My first code contributions to the #owncast #roku client have been merged and are part of the upcoming release 🤘

@Cattail Yep! Just search for Owncasts in the Roku channel store.

@Cattail Give @roadriverrail a shout-out. They're the one to thank for the Roku channel.

Here's a quick demo video of the rewritten #Owncast #Roku client.

Home screen, stream detail page, and video playback!

@jacklaridian Yep. I need to know what's coming so I can do what I can to shield my wife, my kids, my family, my friends, my community, people I don't know, as much as possible.

@jacklaridian A big part of me wants to find a browser plugin to hide content by keyword, but burying my head in the sand as the country is set of fire isn't the way to go.

@jacklaridian 😱 Yikes! I can only imagine the hate filled crap Musk is promoting over there.

SOOOOOOO many websites I'll be avoiding for the next 4 years😐

@jacklaridian Not from the films I've seen her in.

Looking at her filmography, I've seen 2 where I recall not liking her: X and Scream.

And 1 that I've seen and don't remember her being in it at all: The Babysitter: Killer Queen.

Stay Tuned: 4⭐ - Rewatched with the kiddo. Still makes me laugh. Encyclopedia Satannica 😆

Disco Inferno: 1⭐ - A waste of time.

Scream (2022): 3.5⭐ - STOP NAMING SEQUELS THE SAME AS EARLIER MOVIES!!!!!! Still don't like Jenna Ortega.

@jacklaridian "First Class is the BEST X-men movie period"

This is true; however, being the best of an awful series is hardly high praise 😆

Having watched all the X-men movies, I've learned I hate "hero holds their hands out and strains their muscles to do a superhero thing" type movies.

I wanted to like Pearl. I loved the look of it, the throwback styles, etc. But it never went anywhere. It felt like the movie was just showing me things and asking "Isn't this creepy?!"

The Final Days: 3⭐ A comedy short filmed at the end of Clinton's days in office. I watched it solely for Big Pete.

Pearl: 2.5⭐ They forgot to make this horror movie a horror movie. X was much better, cheeseburger.

The Crow: 4⭐ Industrial vinyl record, skateboarding, neo noir revenge love story wrapped in leather guitar straps and dripping with blood from removed eyeballs. My kind of movie!

X-men First Class: 3⭐ I stopped caring about this film series long before this movie.

And now, a quick little list of sites I used to visit daily, but have fallen off my radar - with reason why.

#IMDB
Amazon killed off the news sections, so I now only use it to look things up.

#boxofficemojo
Amazon killed off the news sections. Replaced with TheNumbers.

The #Consumerist
Site sold then shutdown.

#Lifehacker
Changes in leadership and ownership caused site content to become more "mainstream" and clickbait like.

#Last.fm
Site design pushed social media aspects above discovery. Radio service discontinued.

#Google Music
Site focus changed from listening to my uploaded music to buying new music. Replaced with Jellyfin.

reddit
CEO fully stated his soulless love for money. Replaced with Lemmy.

#twitter
Site purchased by #elonmusk. Replaced with Mastodon.

Geeks of Doom
Site no longer updated.

Oh, the Horror!
Site no longer updated.

Abigail: 3.5⭐- A stupid, bloody fun #horror movie.

The Nun: 1.5 ⭐ - Holy crap.

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker: 1⭐ - Annoying toad woman screams for 90 minutes and they call it a horror movie.

#LetterboxdFriday #movies

There are only two kinds of people in this world.

Normal people and those who spit into urinals before using them.

House: .5⭐️ This crap is unwatchable

Nope: 3.5⭐️ Not bad. My favorite Jordan Peele movie yet.

Inside: 3⭐️ I'm not into brutal horror or torture porn. This one was just kinda eh...

Psycho III: 4⭐️Whoa! Even better than Psycho 2. It's eerie, it's tense, it's funny, it's thrilling, it's great!

THIS WILL NOT BE IN THE UPCOMING 2.0 RELEASE!

I'm continuing to work on expanding the new #Jellyfin on #Roku OSD.

Today I started working on the foundations of skipping back and forth through playlists - which includes tv seasons.

@teamtuck will be excited 🤘

All open PRs designated for #Jellyfin on #Roku 2.0 have been merged.

Next steps: Testing, Building, Submitting to Roku
