I can vouch for mint, I picked it up recently after not touching Linux for almost 20 years and it was very intuitive and Windows-like. Haven't dug very deep into it yet but it was at least easy to setup and get the necessities working

Hey it wasn't all bad in 2020. The restaurant I worked at closed and I made more money on unemployment for 2 years than I ever had working in kitchens.

Relatable. I literally have a bad back because of trying to solo move an old TV in the 90s

That is not relevant to the subject at hand, because the cost of living and social support systems vary so widely between the US and the rest of the world. Without knowing anything else about your locale, I can only speculate that your restaurant industry is either far more exploitative than the US and keeps prices low by underpaying workers, or the people who profit from the businesses are slightly less greedy and allow a more generous portion of the budget to be allotted for pay.

Tips may have been that way a hundred years ago but I've been in the restaurant industry in the US for over 15 years, and for the duration tips have been used as a means to offload labor costs to the customer. They are not optional for the majority of people who work for tips, they are the difference between paying bills and not.

The practice is antiquated and should be completely removed as the standard way to compensate restaurant workers. But the thing that anti tippers always seem to miss is that the labor costs will still be there and the owners are not going to take it out of their cut. The menu prices will per force go up when companies get rid of tips. The same people will be complaining about that just as loudly, I'm willing to bet.

As I said in another comment, it's a bad system, but if you don't tip, you're a bad person.

It's a bad system but you are a bad person if you don't tip.

trying to switch from Plex to jf, looking for pro tips (lemmy.world)

I only recently set up a Plex server to share movies and TV with friends. It was a painless setup process. I have all my media in the same downloads folder, and Plex was pretty good at parsing which things were movies and which were TV. A few things confused it (one web based TV series showed up as 13 different movies for example) but overall very good results.

Then the news broke about Plex sharing people's porn viewing habits and even though I am not sharing any in my server, I had second thoughts. I'm not much of a power user these days but I do care about digital privacy and take measures to protect it, so I found jellyfin and gave it a shot.

The media detection is embarrassingly bad. It cannot tell the difference between movies and TV at all. The movie aliens was identified as the TV show ancient aliens. The Barbie movie was identified as some direct to streaming kids show. And so on.

The only solution I've found digging around in the app is to edit the metadata of every file that it got wrong. It's time consuming and frustrating. I would prefer to just have a bare bones directory structure but I cannot find any way to make it work that way. Even just the ability to remove files from a category would be good enough but all I can seem to do is delete the media entirely.

I would prefer not to reorganize my directory structure into distinct categories of movies and TV because it is also where I seed my torrents. Is there a convenient way around this? Is this purely a skill issue? Am I dumb?

I have been getting drawn back into the FOSS world with the growing trend of enshittification but my hazy memories of horrible UX and endless annoying tweaks and workarounds from the brief time I switched to Linux (over 15 years ago at this point) are resurfacing and I'm recalling why I gave up on it back then. Furthermore my friends with whom I'm trying to share things are less tech savvy than me and I dread having to troubleshoot their Roku apps remotely. Should I just give it up and stick to Plex or is there a way around all of this that doesn't require annoying micromanagement?
