It’s hard to justify the UI rant when there is annoying snowflakes animation on top of it.

If you split all the changes for a feature this way not only you hide the way all changes interact with each other but also make the development at least 10x longer because an average approval time is often more than a day.

I hate Apple products for this.
I see this pattern across all apple products - not one.
On my mac, I setup my touch ID, and log in to my Apple account on the App Store. Time and again, when I try to install apps, it keeps repeatedly prompting for my password, instead of letting me just use my touchID. This applies to free apps as well, which is again silly beyond what is already enough silliness.
I briefly see this on my spouse's iPhone as well. Almost felt like Apple hasn't changed a bit after all these years. It keeps fucking prompting for password over and over, randomly when installing apps. although the phone is secured with a touch ID. This happens especially when you reset the phone and starting from scratch - it keeps prompting for the Apple password again and again.
It's because an average Apple engineer has to enter his password at least 10 times a day and it's kind of no big deal for them. Source: I was an Apple eng.

So that means we'll have a good twenty years of data to finally look at, which is what I was saying. I do not trust any medicine unless it has far more data than what we have in this regard at this point. I work in a related field and I can simply say most things we trust should not be trusted and should require far more testing.
Then wait another 50 years, easy.

How do people who use commas as decimals disambiguate 1,004 and 1.004 without changing the precision implied by number of decimal places?
The same way as people who use periods. 1,004.004

Actually after reading it more carefully I probably see why it didn't work for me, but the notes in the page are bizarre:
* Avoid special characters such as * in M*A*S*H, use MASH instead.
Since when a common ASCII character is a special one? What about more common unicode characters I use?
* Do not abbreviate the Season folder with S01 or SE01 or alike.
I.e. if I put anything not in the folder named "Season XX" it won't work? Ugh... really?
* Season folders shouldn't contain the series name, otherwise Jellyfin can in certain cases (Stargate SG-1 due to the dash and one, for instance) misdetect your episodes and put them all under the same season.
Well, how about to fix it?
* Episode numbering for specials may vary from metadata provider to metadata provider.
Very helpful, so the "Series XX" required above won't always work.
And even if everything above fails why not to sort by name? It should not be hard for any engineer, right?
In my experience you have to sort shows into directories and sub-directories for a series.
My entire jellyfin library is just symlinks into where my crap has accumulated over the years.
I have the series in their own folders. I tried to do a more nested structure to no avail. After a day of attempts to fix it I switched to Plex and it despite having its own quirks just worked fine.

Thanks, I can google. For some reason Jellyfin totally ignores folder structures for me.
