The AI part might be new, but major subreddits were forcing people to freeboot content for years. I tried calling it out, but apparently I was the one in the wrong lmao

That might work too, but making it more difficult to access would mean fewer basic users accelerating its destruction lol. Ideally we need to move tech back to the enthusiasts who actually understand and care about it

Lol seems easy as fuck to obfuscate, especially when you're dealing with an old telnet style system

Can't we just go back to BBSing? Improve the tech behind it to improve security, and problem solved. It's too complicated for the normies to use and allow further enshitification from lol

This is such an incredible long bunch of misinformation and nonsense...

Jellyfin is everything Plex used to be before it started sucking.

Streaming outside your home network might be slightly trickier with Jellyfin but that's the cost of security and ownership... But really, setting up tailscale is dead simple as well, and would get you what you need in a way that is far superior to Plex...

I stopped reading beyond that because as I skimmed the post it was just more nonsense. Are you sure you've actually used Jellyfin?

Apple died the second Woz was pushed away.

Lmao I didn't even get that far down their stupid post. That's some impressive stupidity. Apple is a marketing company that happens to manufacture some sub-par commercial devices that appeal to idiots that like to pretend they know what they're talking about.

Did this person manage to get anything correct in their long-winded cloud yelling?

I bought one ages ago, but I left for Jellyfin when I ditched Windows. I hated the direction Plex has been going for years - if I wanted a content streaming service, I would have signed up for one... I just wanted a good way to stream stuff from my media server to my other stuff.

Jellyfin is basically what plex would have been if they didn't lobotomize themselves.

This is why gatekepeeping hobbies isn't necessarily a bad thing. When outsiders become more numerous than the enthusiasts, the whole thing goes to shit.

You should learn anyway. I switched and I have no plans of looking back. Jellyfin is basically everything Plex would have been if they continued as they were installed of trying to become some stupid streaming service mess that they are turning into

I remember playing Rock'n'Roll Racing with my friend over 56K modem back in like 2002... It's existed for a while lol

Apple devices definition don't serve people first lol

Plex and Jellyfin are basically like having your own Netflix built off your own media library. Plex offers a bunch of extra crap for a premium though.

Wouldn't they hurt use Jellyfin? Lol The only "value" that Plex seems to have to offer these days are the weird tv services things they keep trying to push

You're not supposed to answer, you're supposed to re-read your stupid comment and realize how wrong you are, then fix it? I'm not looking for an echo chamber, I'm looking for stupid users to stop being stupid before tech gets completely ruined by them all.

Sooo they just want us to pirate it now? I mean, if they wanted money they wouldn't have removed it from the way they were getting money.

Man, there's a throwback. This is the first time I've seen that game referenced in the wild lol

1. That is the entire point of a strike. Don't blame the workers, blame the companies for forcing the workers to have no other option.

2. The second you wean off the unions, the companies will go 180 and turbo-charge the path back to where we currently are, but worse because there is nobody left to fight them.

Yes, this is because the average user is dumb and content with guzzling down whatever bullshit gets thrown at them. This is a big part of why we really do not want to see the masses shift to Linux - they'll bring the cooperate interest and the enshitification they love.

We have the choice for now, but we shouldn't be embracing it... We should be the ones fighting to end this stupidity.
