Ah, if you need to build a .NET project that makes sense

Nuget is a the .NET package manager. Like npm or pip, but for .NET projects.

If you needed it for a published application that strikes me as fairly strange.

…no? Why would it be?

The Windows version definitely does not open your default browser to download a new installation package which you then need to install yourself.

Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.

I had exactly the same experience, at about the same time. Had been hearing good things about Plex so decided to try it out. Immediately noped out when it required me to create an account with them. Similar to you I looked around and found it to be a relatively new change.

Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self-host was okay with it.

Reboot did similar things in the 90s with direct mentions of “BS&P” (broadcast standards and practices) in multiple episodes.

I don’t really like Discord, but it supports message pinning, threaded conversation, as well as a full blown discussion forum option for community channels. Your complaints seem to be more about the moderation of that specific community than Discord itself.

OP doesn’t seem to have responded, so no, but that’s not the fault of the question.

Because of the XY problem. The problem OP is stating may not actually be the source of the issues OP is experiencing.

Finding out what OP is trying to do will better inform a solution and may make the stated problem irrelevant.

I work at a “Microsoft Shop” in a division that was a previously acquired software developer that used an entirely linux based dev stack.

That stack is still all linux and we basically have to do all our work in WSL. It’s a pain.

Because they’re not Microsoft support. Microsoft Answers is a user forum and the “MVPs” there providing “support” are at best volunteers and at worst bots.

From the text it seems like a site only gets added to the navigation history if the user interacts with it.

Counter point: The removal of your desktop environment should not under any circumstances be within the possibility space of side effects for trying to install a common piece of desktop software, regardless of the warnings provided or confirmations required.

This was an issue with the OS, and the Pop_OS! team fixed it in an update very soon after this. A month earlier or later and Linus would not have encountered it.

Telling a Debian user that Mint isn’t the most up to date struck me as pretty funny.

When I initially set up my media server I went with Jellyfin over Plex mostly because the idea of having to create an account on an external service to use software I was hosting myself rubbed me the wrong way. Since then the more learn about Plex the more baffled I am that anyone chooses to use it at all.

My favorite is when someone responds with this but any cursory search to “educate yourself” delivers information that overwhelmingly opposes what they were saying.

“Educate yourself (using only fringe websites that I agree with).”

Fantastastic?

Even more ridiculous since a 1.4x performance increase is already incredible news for anyone who makes regular of this.

If someone found a software optimization that improved, say, blender performance by 1.4x people would be shouting praises from the rooftops.

It’s not great.
