Curious on the use case here. How do you make use of this information specifically from Jellyfin?

As much as the game itself

I’ll agree it’s art but this take is so asinine.

I’d be prioritizing a quick font swap for my assets if I were those devs. Wtf.

Of course, but as we know there is no universal agreements for either. The expectations are ill placed.

they should be supporting those projects

As long as the end user is abiding by the licensing terms it shouldn’t be an expectation that any additional support is coming from anywhere. This is the nature of foss. The contributors should know this.

Expecting every post to come with a little handholding tutorial isn’t reasonable either. For the surgeon example it doesn’t take a surgeon to give the warning, but that same non-surgeon isn’t necessarily in a position to guide anyone either.

Being encouraged to learn about the basics isn’t gatekeeping, it’s just sound technical advice. Self hosting can be great, but when you shift critical services/infrastructure and something goes south you expose yourself to some serious harm (think self-hosting your password management), or perhaps leave yourself open and vulnerable to threats you don’t understand.

Having access to easier/friendlier tools is great, but using them without fundamental understanding is risky.

You do you but I don’t reject any platform or publisher and treat each game/sale on a case by case basis as it suits me. If the product is good enough I will put up with additional installations.

In your mind I’m sure that makes sense. Cheers.

I think you’re projecting and looking for something that isn’t here. Relax.

No. Devs owe you nothing. You’re free to find another game though.

I play both. Couch gaming is simply more epic (also comfy). Glorious 7.1 surround on a couch? chefs kiss

So I did some digging, and it’s less clear than I thought.

I come from the embedded development world, where bare metal has been in use for a long time. Pre-2000s, this is exclusively what the term meant. Sometime around the mid 2000s, the virtualization services starting coopting the term.

So I guess it does indeed mean both, but being a stickler for tradition it doesn’t sit right with me. The term just makes more sense when you’re applying it to the hardware; bare. No middleman, and that includes an OS.

Bare metal Ubuntu

Just a nitpick but bare metal means no OS.

Every single one. Lol.

You have a source for that claim? This says otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PlayStation_5_video_games

MS is on drugs. Full lunacy.

🤣

You sure you mean bare metal here? Bare metal means no OS.

I remember this game being promoted by a gaming article that popped up in my news feeds a few months ago. Beware of free games. Not saying they’re all scams but it’s worth your time to vet the authenticity. What are their motivations? What’s their development history? How do they intend to make money? And if they don’t intend to make money and it’s not FOSS, what’s in it for them? Steam charges a fee for publishing before you’ve even made a dime, so free games cost the developer more than just their development effort.
