Please! Can you make the same for Portugal? Laws here are a mess of reforms...

They can't. They used to, until they tried to patent 586...

Feishin, used by the author as well, supports Jellyfin.

As for mobile, while Symphonium supports Jellyfin, I prefer Finamp as it maintains the split from multiple music libraries.

While I still have WA installed for unrelated reasons, I'm so happy for Matrix Bridges...

Eventually attentions will turn to Element Web/Desktop.

For now the magic is happening in the background, SDKs etc.

Agree... i don't think there's a time i have "docker compose pull" and a new version hasn't come up.

The fact that this is independent of any server implementation (read Synapse) means you can release much more frequent.

Choosing to use a proxy here was the right decision.

The moment I saw Lisbon, I instantly rolled eyes.

Portuguese here.

I don't know the state of AI in two years from now, but if there's one thing I know, is that this smells largely of bull####.

The government is entangled in a miriad of corruption cases.

There were massive fires in 2017, many people died in trapped in their cars trying to escape the fires...

The national air carrier is so deep in scandals for the past 10 years or so that it has become amusing. While having no profit whatsoever, requiring regular money injection by the government, they awarded a fleet of new BMWs for the manager caste, which were not delivered because of the polemic it raised. Managers quit their job and had a clause of €500000 that they had to receive when leaving. Performance meetings are trialed between CEO and the government body so that questions and answers match... I'll stop here.

Advisors to certain Ministries are fired by WhatsApp, enter the Ministry building to recover a laptop, police is called, and somehow, the PT secret service is involved although having 0 jurisdiction on this case, and now no one knows who called them. Inquiries are rolling where lies upon lies are thrown on the table.

0 accountability, no one is to blame. The corruption in this country is rampant ever since we joined the CEE in 1986 or so.

The government as the majority of parlment, they approve absurd decrees just because they were started by the tilling party, and disapprove those started by any party of the opposition.

And don't get me started on the President of the Republic. Is blame is through inaction.

Peculiar.

Back in the times of GSM/2g, and the fable 3310, roaming was EXPENSIVE on Europe.

So, before going to Spain, I would turn my Nokia off.

After returning to my country, and well inside the country away from any Spanish antenna, I would turn on the device.

And every time, I would get a SMS informing me of the roaming costs.

Apparently, Jerry Springer did not die in my region.

That this kind of blocking still exists in 2023 is astounding

No, you can download the app from F-droid.

There's no dependency on Google services, although the app can use them if available.
