I think you're missing a key area here. The original Mozilla product was Netscape- a commercial combined web browser and email client. There used to be a number of commercial competitors in the space, e.g. Opera, Eudora, etc. Microsoft killed that market in the 1990's.

I struggle to see how any organisation could make money out of giving away a product that costs money to produce and promote. You've suggested they could have been Proton but that's a completely different sector. We could just as easily have suggested they could have been Twitter, WhatsApp or Instagram.

We're going to need to know as a minimum:

  • Linux distribution and version
  • Jellyfin install method and version
  • what you have already tried- not sure where all those flags are coming from

I would also support the comments here recommending that you use docker. There's only a small number of Linux distributions and versions where a distribution package installation of jellyfin is fully supported, but even then what you need to do varies across each one. All Linux distributions and versions support docker and the process is essentially the same for all of them.

Ok, aside from Android, I've yet to see any serious usage of SELinux in the real world and I've been working on cloud tech for years. Acknowledged issues such as complexity aside, it's really just that much less relevant in a modern, single purpose environment such as Docker/kubernetes/cloud functions/etc

I feel this and some of the other comments in this thread are missing the point. It's not about me and my followers. It's about the news sources and topics that I search for or follow. They simply haven't moved to Mastodon and where notable individuals that I follow have tried, it simply hasn't worked out due to lack of interest. I'm not interested in the fediverse as a topic in itself, I'm interested in the topics and events I want to follow. Something happens and I can find and read and watch clips about it on Twitter. Not so Mastodon.

I've been on Mastodon for over a year and the content simply isn't there. Several of the people that I follow on Twitter have tried moving or duplicating to Mastodon. They've had a fraction of the visibility and engagement from commenters that they would get on Twitter. Invariably after a few months they have essentially given up on it as a primary medium. For me the discoverability is essentially non-existent, which I don't think is helped by the idea of it being based around instance-local communities, which have no meaning when you're looking at something like Twitter.

You might say that the definition is 'Elastic'

Not how it works- licensing will be through a third party agency

You could consider

  • Cord: had some contact from companies leading to interviews but also some contact me and then ghost on response
  • Otta: more manageable search than LinkedIn
  • Hackajob: been a waste of time for me

Linkedin is still the big gun. Really don't like how they game everything around job hunting, or the endless sea of Indian recruiters from Hyderabad pretending to be in UK/USA who can barely speak English and 'have a requirement...' but clearly have no concept of geography.

Ok, so maybe not Phoenix then? How about San Francisco?

Because they don't know or trust them

I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here.

In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:

  • 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display
  • 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do
  • 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.

Thanks!

Edit:

Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why:

 

I'd like to ask about home entertainment hardware - I would have thought there would be an existing community or few but I am struggling to find any - can anyone point the way?
